Year Released
2018 (Included in set 75215)
Rarity
Uncommon. While exclusive to one specific set (75215), the set was relatively affordable during its shelf life, keeping supply moderate.
Head
Standard black minifigure head piece under the helmet to provide the void-effect for the visor. The helmet is a unique mold with copper-colored visor printing and battle-worn scuff marks.
Torso
White torso with highly detailed imperial armor printing including chest plating, red ranking/utility squares, and a utility belt. Features back printing and white arms with light flesh-colored hands.
Legs
White legs and hips with extensive printing detailing the heavy thermal armor and unique 'magnetic' boots (greebling). Includes side printing to emphasize the bulk of the cold-weather gear.
Accessories
Includes a medium-sized pearl dark gray blaster rifle and a white fabric neck cape (pauldron/fur collar) which represents the thermal fur lining of the trooper's coat.
Color Scheme
Primary white and light gray with copper visor accents and red control panel details. The fabric collar is stark white to match the armor.
Printing Details
High-fidelity pad printing on the helmet, torso, and legs. Notable for the 'weathered' or 'dirty' scuff marks on the helmet and the intricate mechanical detail on the boots.
Variants
There are no official variants of the Range Trooper (sw0920), making it a unique single-release design to date.
Condition Notes
The white plastic is prone to yellowing if exposed to UV light. The fabric collar can fray or become creased. Check for 'play wear' scuffs on the helmet's printed visor.
Estimated Value
Used: $12.00 - $18.00 USD; New/Mint: $20.00 - $25.00 USD. Prices fluctuate based on the condition of the fragile white fabric collar.
Price (New)
Originally released in set 75215 Cloud-Rider Swoop Bikes which retailed for $29.99 USD. The figure was never sold individually.

Character Background
Range Troopers were a specialized branch of the Imperial Stormtroopers stationed on hazardous frontier worlds. They were notably seen guarding the Conveyex train on Vandor-1 in 'Solo: A Star Wars Story'.
Design Notes
The helmet and boots are designed to look significantly bulkier than a standard Stormtrooper. The use of a fabric piece for the fur collar was a high-end design choice for a non-UCS set.
Similar Minifigures
Imperial Snowtrooper, Mudtrooper, Patrol Trooper, and the Shoretrooper. All are specialized variations of the Imperial infantry.
Collectibility
High interest due to the unique aesthetic and the 'one-set-only' status. Demand remains steady among Star Wars 'army builders' and those completing the Solo movie cast.
History
Debuted in the 2018 Solo wave. It represented a shift toward more detailed, weathered printing on imperial troopers compared to the clean-white designs of the early 2000s.
Interesting Facts
The 'boots' in the film were designed to be magnetic to allow the troopers to walk on the moving Conveyex train; LEGO represented this through complex leg printing.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a Vandor-1 heist diorama or along with other Imperial trooper variants in a specialized display case to prevent yellowing.
Modification Potential
Excellent for custom 'remnant' troopers or cold-weather mercenaries. The helmet mold is highly prized for custom MOC troopers.
Overall Assessment
A standout trooper design with exceptional detail. Its unique fabric collar and specialized leg printing make it a high-quality addition to any Star Wars collection.
