Color Scheme
Primary colors are White and Bright Red; accent colors include Black for bodysuit joints and Dark Stone Grey for mechanical details.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on torso, hips, and legs. Features the 2023-style helmet holes which allow for rangefinders or visors to be attached.
Variants
This is the updated 2023 version; distinguishable from the 2014 version (sw0531) by the helmet holes, the specific red hip piece, and refined print details.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include stress marks on the torso sides (cracking) and minor paint rubbing on the helmet crest if played with heavily.
Estimated Value
$10 - $15 USD for used complete; slightly more if mint. Pricing is currently stable due to set availability.

Compatible Sets

Character Background
Elite members of the Grand Army of the Republic serving as peacekeepers and bodyguards on Coruscant under Commander Fox.
Design Notes
First Phase 2 Shock Trooper to include helmet holes, a controversial but functional choice for customization with official LEGO gear.
Similar Minifigures
sw0531 Clone Shock Trooper (2014); sw1097 501st Legion Clone Trooper; sw1146 212th Attack Battalion Clone Trooper.
Collectibility
High demand for army building. Demand remains consistent as it serves as a core trooper for The Clone Wars era dioramas.
History
Follows the evolution of Phase 2 clones starting from the 2014 redesign, moving toward more stylized, movie-accurate armor interpretations.
Interesting Facts
The 'Coruscant Guard' is one of the few legions where the red color represents law enforcement and internal security rather than specialized terrain combat.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a military formation alongside Commander Fox or in a Coruscant street scene vignette.
Modification Potential
Highly compatible with official visors and rangefinders. Leg and arm swaps with dual-molded pieces are common purist upgrades.
Overall Assessment
An excellent modern update to a classic trooper. Score: 9/10 for accuracy and playability, though some purists dislike the helmet hole placement.
