Year Released
2015. Released alongside 'Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens' in late 2015 during the 'Force Friday' merchandise launch.
Rarity
Uncommon. While not exclusive to a single set, these troopers were only included in medium-to-large scale sets in this specific print configuration.
Head
Plain white head with a black visor stripe print. Standard flesh-toned faces were not used for these generic troopers in this era, opting instead for a 'black head' look to fill the visor gap.
Torso
White torso with First Order cold weather gear printing. Features a life-support chest plate, thermal insulated fabric detail, and a back-printed life support pack. White arms with black hands.
Legs
White legs with black hip joints. Detailed printing on the front of the legs and hips representing the lower arctic armor plates and utility belt.
Accessories
Standard medium-sized black blaster rifle (standard LEGO piece 15445). The figure in the image is standing on a non-LEGO green plastic baseplate piece.
Color Scheme
Primary white with black and light bluish grey accents. This represents the sleek, updated aesthetic of the First Order compared to the Imperial Galactic era.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing. Fine line work on the helmet slit and chest panels. Leg printing is well-aligned with the torso belt detail.
Variants
Variations include the Officer version (sw0657) with a red pauldron and the 'Snowtrooper - Cape' version (sw1105) from later waves.
Condition Notes
Prone to yellowing if exposed to UV light. Check for 'heel cracks' on the back of the legs and loose neck joints which can occur from repeated helmet removal.
Estimated Value
Used: $3.00 - $5.00 USD; New/Mint: $6.00 - $8.00 USD. Prices are relatively stable due to high supply from mass-produced sets.
Price (New)
Retail sets ranged from $39.99 (75100) to $149.99 (75105). Not sold individually, though comparable CMF figures at the time were $3.99.
Compatible Sets
75100 First Order Snowspeeder (2015), 75105 Millennium Falcon (2015), 75126 First Order Snowspeeder Microfighter (2016).
Character Background
Specialized stormtroopers of the First Order trained for operations in sub-zero climates, first seen on Starkiller Base in The Force Awakens.
Design Notes
Features a unique helmet mold with a built-in neck guard/shroud that differs significantly from the Original Trilogy 'bucket' style helmets.
Similar Minifigures
Imperial Snowtrooper (sw0115), First Order Stormtrooper (sw0667), First Order Flametrooper (sw0666).
Collectibility
Moderate. Popular for army building, but value is capped because the character is generic and appeared in many units across multiple sets.
History
This design marked the first update to the Snowtrooper design in a decade, moving from the classic 1980s look to the modern sequel trilogy aesthetic.
Interesting Facts
The helmet design was heavily influenced by Ralph McQuarrie's original concept sketches for the 1980 Imperial Snowtroopers.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for Hoth-themed or Starkiller Base dioramas. Pair with a First Order Snowspeeder for maximum visual impact.
Modification Potential
Excellent for custom cold-weather MOCs. The white legs and torso are useful for creating custom arctic exploration figures.
Overall Assessment
A solid, well-detailed figure that accurately captures the movie source material. Essential for Star Wars sequel trilogy completionists and army builders.
