Rarity
Uncommon. This figure is exclusive to a single set (75082), though the torso and legs are identical to the Imperial V-wing Pilot (sw0304) and other Imperial crew, its specific combination of a light flesh 'Clone' head makes it unique.
Head
Light Flesh, 'Clone' head with angry expression, black eyebrows, and furrowed brow. This head (part 3626cpb1265) was widely used for Clone Troopers and the first generation of Stormtroopers following the transition from yellow skins.
Torso
White Torso Imperial Pilot / Ground Crew pattern. Features printed life support box, belt with pouches, and light bluish gray arms with light bluish gray hands. The printing represents the standard non-flight uniform for Imperial/Republic technicians.
Legs
Light Bluish Gray Legs with black and dark gray utility belt/padding print. The printing includes thigh-high boots and knee protection details consistent with the Imperial crew uniform.
Accessories
In its original set (75082), this figure is equipped with a black blaster pistol. It also includes an Imperial light bluish gray helmet with a green visor (standard TIE pilot style helmet mold). Note: The helmet is missing in the provided image.
Color Scheme
Primary colors are White and Light Bluish Gray. Accent colors include Black and Dark Gray for technical mechanical details. The flesh tone head represents the transition period from Republic to Empire.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front and back) and legs (front only). The alignment of the belt between the torso and hips is a key indicator of genuine production. The detail level is crisp, showing small indicators and buttons on the chest panel.
Variants
The 'Clone' head has many variants with different expressions (angry, smirk, stern). The outfit itself is shared with the V-wing Pilot, but the specific combination of this head with the crew suit is what defines sw0630.
Condition Notes
Prone to torso cracks under the arms (stress marks) and heel cracks on the legs. The light bluish gray hands and arms may show discoloration if exposed to UV light. The print on the belt often wears thin with heavy play.
Estimated Value
Used (Missing Helmet): $3.00 - $5.00 USD; Used (Complete with Helmet): $8.00 - $12.00 USD; New/Mint: $15.00+ USD. Values fluctuate based on the popularity of 'Star Wars Rebels' characters.
Price (New)
Came in set 75082 (TIE Advanced Prototype) which retailed for $39.99 in 2015. The price per minifigure was roughly $13.33 as the set included 3 figures.
Compatible Sets
75082 TIE Advanced Prototype (2015).
Character Background
This figure represents the Ground Crew or secondary pilots during the early Imperial era, specifically appearing as part of the Inquisitor's support staff in the Star Wars Rebels animated series. They are the transitionary force comprising remaining Clones and early recruits.
Design Notes
Uses the 2010-era Imperial pilot torso mold. It is a 'purist' design that effectively bridges the gap between the sleek Prequel designs and the gritty Original Trilogy aesthetic.
Similar Minifigures
sw0304 Imperial V-wing Pilot, sw0254 TIE Pilot, and sw0522 Imperial Crew Member.
Collectibility
Moderate. It is a 'named' variant of a generic troop, making it desirable for army builders and Star Wars Rebels completionists. Its value has remained relatively stable over the last five years.
History
Released during the first wave of Star Wars Rebels sets. This period marked LEGO's move toward highly detailed leg printing as a standard for even generic background characters.
Interesting Facts
Despite being called 'Ground Crew', the character in the set functions as a pilot for the TIE Advanced Prototype. The head choice confirms that at this point in the timeline, many clones were still serving in the Imperial Navy.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the 75082 TIE Advanced Prototype or in an Imperial hangar MOC. It looks best paired with The Grand Inquisitor or standard TIE Pilots to show the hierarchy of the Imperial Navy.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'Republic/Imperial transition' MOCs. The light bluish gray legs and white torso are highly versatile for custom technicians or generic space-themed workers.
Overall Assessment
A solid, mid-tier collectible. While it lacks the 'flash' of a Jedi or Bounty Hunter, its exclusivity to a single retired set and its canonical significance as a remaining Clone in Imperial service make it an essential piece for specialized collectors.
