Rarity
Uncommon. While exclusive to one mid-priced set, the set was widely available at major retailers during its production run, making the figure accessible but highly sought after.
Head
Features a standard Phase 2 Clone Trooper helmet with yellow/mustard markings specific to the 327th Star Corps. Beneath is the standard tanned flesh 'Clone' head with a determined expression.
Torso
White torso with 327th Star Corps mustard-yellow stripes and dark gray pauldron printing on the chest. Back printing includes thermal detonator and armor plating details. Black hands.
Legs
White legs with mustard-yellow knee plate printing and black hip piece. Foot/toe printing includes gray armor details, following the modernized 2020+ Clone Trooper design standard.
Accessories
Usually comes with two DC-17 blaster pistols; however, the image shows the figure without held accessories. The helmet is the primary accessory with specialized printing.
Color Scheme
Primary white and black with distinct mustard-yellow (Bright Light Orange) accents used to denote the 327th Star Corps ranking and Legion.
Printing Details
High-quality 2020-style printing. Features high-resolution chest, back, and leg printing. Helmet features the distinctive macrobinocular-style visor print and sunshade markings.
Variants
This is the updated 2022 version. An earlier 'unofficial' version of Bly (Phase 1) appeared in 2010. This 2022 version uses the new helmet mold with side holes for rangefinders or visors.
Condition Notes
Look for alignment issues on the helmet printing (common in this set). Check for yellowing if exposed to sunlight. Common wear points include the neck post and heel cracks.
Estimated Value
Used: $12.00 - $18.00 USD; New (taken from sealed box): $22.00 - $28.00 USD. Prices fluctuate based on the popularity of Clone Army building.
Price (New)
Included in set 75342 which retailed for $39.99 USD. The figure's individual value is roughly 40-50% of the total set value due to its popularity.

Character Background
CC-5052, known as 'Bly', was a clone commander who led the 327th Star Corps alongside Jedi General Aayla Secura. He is famous for his appearance in Revenge of the Sith and The Clone Wars.
Design Notes
Significant for using the 'holed' helmet mold which allows for physical accessory attachments, though many fans prefer the printed-on macrobinoculars seen on this specific print.
Similar Minifigures
sw1182 187th Legion Clone Trooper, sw1094 212th Battalion Clone Trooper, sw0541 Clone Trooper (Phase 2).
Collectibility
High. Clone Commanders and named battalion leaders are top-tier targets for Star Wars collectors and army builders.
History
Part of LEGO's shift toward high-detail specific legions (like the 501st, 212th, and 187th) which began to dominate the Star Wars line between 2020 and 2023.
Interesting Facts
Despite being labeled as a 187th Legion set, this figure is explicitly based on Commander Bly's 327th Star Corps colors, which caused some lore confusion among fans upon release.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a gray baseplate alongside a Republic Fighter Tank or paired with an Aayla Secura minifigure for a Felucia-themed diorama.
Modification Potential
Excellent. Many fans add custom cloth pauldrons or kamas (waist capes) to increase screen accuracy, or add a physical rangefinder to the helmet hole.
Overall Assessment
A standout figure from the 2022 wave. It offers great detail and represents a fan-favorite character that went years without an official LEGO Phase 2 update.
