Uncommon to Rare. Originally exclusive to a $650 UCS set, but later released in a $13 Microfighter, significantly increasing accessibility.

Legs
White legs with blue and grey armor plating, including printed kama (skirt) details on the front and sides of the hips and legs.

Two DC-17 blaster pistols and a grey rangefinder attached to the helmet. Does not include a cloth kama, as it is integrated into the leg printing.

Primary white and blue (501st Legion colors) with black, grey, and sand-blue accents symbolizing battle damage and modifications.
Printing Details
High-fidelity pad printing on the helmet (tally marks), torso (front/back), and legs (front/side). Includes unique 'weld marks' to represent Rex's custom armor fusion.
Variants
This is the 2023/2024 updated version. A much rarer variant exists from 2013 (sw0450) which features a cloth kama and different helmet mold/print.
Condition Notes
Watch for misalignment of the tally mark printing on the helmet. The rangefinder can become loose over time. Stress marks may appear on the neck if the helmet is removed frequently.

Character Background
Captain Rex (CT-7567) is the leader of the 501st Legion and a central protagonist in 'The Clone Wars' and 'Rebels'. He is known for his loyalty and unique custom armor.
Design Notes
Utilizes the 2020 clone trooper body style but adds unique helmet printing for the 'Jaig eyes'. The decision to print the waist cape (kama) instead of using cloth remains controversial among fans.

Collectibility
Extremely high. Rex is one of the most beloved characters in the Star Wars fandom, making this a staple for any collection despite higher supply.
History
Followed a 10-year absence of Phase 2 Rex in LEGO products. Its release in a Microfighter was a major 2024 LEGO news event due to its impact on the secondary market.
Interesting Facts
The 'Jaig eyes' on his helmet are a Mandalorian honor mark. This figure's hair (not pictured) is typically not included as his helmet is his primary feature.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano to complete the 501st Trio. Best showcased on a grey or transparent stand to highlight leg printing.
Modification Potential
Commonly modified by fans by adding a custom cloth kama and pauldron from third-party sellers like Cape Cantina or Clone Army Customs.
Overall Assessment
A top-tier minifigure with exceptional printing detail. While no longer 'gold-status' in value due to mass-market availability, it remains a design masterpiece for Clone Wars fans.
