Figure ID
sw1235
Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
2022 (Debuted in the AT-TE Walker set 75337)
Rarity
Uncommon but highly sought after. While not exclusive to a limited run, it appeared in a large $140 USD set, making army-building expensive for collectors.
Head
Standard 'Nougat' skin tone Clone Trooper head with a determined expression, black eyebrows, and a thin smirk. Underneath the Phase 2 helmet.
Torso
White torso with updated 2022-style Phase 2 armor printing. It features orange battalion markings, a detailed utility belt, and black arms with orange 'shoulder' printing.
Legs
White legs with orange printing on the hips and shins. The design includes the 'toe' printing which was a major point of discussion among fans for its accuracy.
Accessories
Usually paired with a black DC-15S blaster carbine or long DC-15A blaster rifle (not pictured in the image). The helmet is an orange-molded Phase 2 Clone helmet with printing.
Color Scheme
Primary white with vibrant orange and black accents. The orange specifically denotes the 212th Attack Battalion under Commander Cody.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing. Notable for the 'pointed' orange print on the helmet and the comprehensive leg/hip printing that extends down to the feet.
Variants
Differs from the 2014 version (sw0522) which lacked the orange arms and the updated 2022 helmet mold holes for rangefinders/visors.
Condition Notes
Prone to 'torso cracks' on the sides if handled roughly. Check the helmet print alignment, as some batches had a 'misaligned' orange point on the forehead.
Estimated Value
$12.00 - $18.00 USD (Used); $20.00 - $25.00 USD (New/Mint). Prices fluctuate based on military-building demand.
Price (New)
Contained in set 75337 retailing for $139.99 USD. The set included three of these troopers plus a Commander Cody and a Clone Gunner.

Character Background
Soldiers of the 212th Attack Battalion, led by Clone Commander Cody and Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi. Notable for their service during the Battle of Utapau.
Design Notes
Introduced the 'helmet hole' design which allows for the attachment of rangefinders or visors, a controversial change for some purist collectors.
Similar Minifigures
sw0522 (2014 212th Trooper), sw1233 (Commander Cody Phase 2), sw1094 (332nd Company Ahsoka Trooper).
Collectibility
High. Star Wars army-builders constantly seek these to populate MOCs of the Battle of Utapau or Mygeeto.
History
Follows a long lineage of 212th troopers beginning in 2011. This 2022 version represents the most modern LEGO printing tech and articulation standards.
Interesting Facts
The orange print on the 'nose' of the helmet in this 2022 version is significantly narrower and more pointed than the 2014 predecessor.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in 'ranks' on a grey baseplate to simulate a troop formation, or exiting the back of an AT-TE Walker.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'purist customs' by adding orange kama or pauldrons to create specialized 212th officers.
Overall Assessment
A fantastic, highly detailed minifigure that successfully modernizes a fan-favorite battalion. Highly recommended for Star Wars Prequel-era collectors.
