Rarity
Uncommon to Rare - Exclusive to a single, retired set that was on shelves for a relatively short window; demand remains high due to character popularity.
Head
Features a light flesh head with a unique print: a gray skull-like tattoo on the left side of the face and a red bandana. One side has a determined expression, the other is a smirk.

Black torso with dark bluish gray and dark red armor plates, featuring the 99th Clone Force emblem. Includes detailed back printing of the tactical backpack mounting.
Legs
Black legs with intricate dark gray and dark red armor plating prints on the front and sides of the legs, continuing the tactical aesthetic.

Color Scheme
A tactical palette of Black, Dark Bluish Gray, and accents of Dark Red representing the Clone Force 99 visual identity.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head, torso, and legs. Notable for the level of detail on the leg printing which wraps around slightly, a premium feature for Star Wars figures.
Variants
This is the original version of Hunter. A newer version (sw1249) was released in 2023 with his 'Mercenary' gear featuring different color accents (lime green/tan).
Condition Notes
Watch for paint rubbing on the points of the hairpiece and the sharp edges of the helmet. The black plastic can show scratches easily under direct light.

Similar Minifigures
Echo (sw1161), Tech (sw1162), Wrecker (sw1164), and Crosshair (sw1165).
Collectibility
High. He is the central protagonist of his series and essential for completing the Bad Batch squad; collectors prioritize the 2021 versions over the 2023 season variations.
History
Represents the first time Hunter was ever produced in LEGO form. His release marked a significant shift in LEGO embracing Disney+ animated content with high-detail sets.
Interesting Facts
Despite being a leader, many fans initially mistook his facial tattoo for a printing error before seeing the source material's animated detail.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the rest of Clone Force 99 in front of the 75314 Havoc Marauder shuttle. Use a clear stand to highlight the side leg printing.
Modification Potential
Commonly modified by fans using 'Pauldrons' or custom cloth capes to match his appearance in later seasons or to add more tactical bulk.
Overall Assessment
An excellent figure with a high desirability score (9/10). Standout feature is the unique helmet mold and head printing accuracy; a 'must-buy' for Star Wars collectors.
