High-quality pad printing on the helmet, torso, and legs. Features 360-degree helmet printing and detailed knee/shin alignment.
Variants
Standard version; no major manufacturing variants known, though it is a color-swap variant of the standard sw0997 Stormtrooper mold.
Condition Notes
Look for yellowing on the white plastic. Mortar assembly parts are often lost. Check for paint scuffs on the helmet's yellow stripe.
Estimated Value
Used: $12 - $18 USD; New/Mint: $22 - $28 USD depending on if the full mortar assembly is included.
Price (New)

Compatible Sets
75311 Imperial Armored Marauder (2021).
Character Background
Specialized Imperial soldiers first seen in Season 2 of 'The Mandalorian' (Chapter 14: The Tragedy). They provide indirect fire support using mortars.
Design Notes
Uses the newer dual-molded Stormtrooper helmet style introduced in 2019, which is often criticized for lack of neck rotation but praised for aesthetic detail.
Similar Minifigures
sw0997 Stormtrooper (Dual Molded), sw1138 Mortar Stormtrooper, sw1141 Incinerator Stormtrooper (Red markings).
Collectibility
High. Army builders desire multiple units for dioramas, and it is the only way to get the yellow-tinted trooper.
History
Part of the first wave of LEGO sets specifically targeting the later seasons of the Disney+ live-action series.
Interesting Facts
Despite being an artillery trooper, the figure includes the 'Angry Clone' face, maintaining LEGO's consistency that all early Imperial troopers were clones or clone-successors.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed with the 75311 Marauder or in a Tython-planet MOC alongside Boba Fett and Fennec Shand.
Modification Potential
Excellent for creating custom pauldron-wearing officers or swapped into 'The Force Unleashed' style color-coded squads.
Overall Assessment
A standout Stormtrooper variant. The yellow printing is crisp and offers a refreshing break from the monochrome standard troopers.
