Year Released
2014 - Released exclusively in the Coruscant Police Gunship (75046) during the transition between the Clone Wars series finale and the Rebels era.
Rarity
Rare - Exclusive to a single, now-retired set from 2014. Because the set was a late-wave The Clone Wars release, it had a shorter production run compared to standard sets.
Head
Standard modern Clone Trooper head with a determined expression, flesh tone skin, and a black headband/temple print. It is covered by a phase II Clone Trooper helmet with red Coruscant Guard markings.
Torso
White torso with Clone Trooper armor printing, featuring distinct red markings on the shoulders and chest plate. Includes a black utility belt print and solid red arms with black hands.
Legs
White legs with red knee plate printing and red accents on the thighs, matching the Coruscant Guard color scheme. The hip piece is black.
Accessories
Usually equipped with a standard DC-15S blaster carbine (missing in the provided image). No cape or additional cloth elements were included in the official release.
Color Scheme
Primary white and red (Coruscant Guard colors) with black accents for the belt, joints, and hands.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing featuring the distinctive 'honeycomb' or 'vent' texture on the helmet, detailed chest plate armor, and precise red geometric markings on the legs.
Variants
This is the Phase II version. A Phase I version (sw0091) was released in 2007, and a newer updated version (sw1284) was released in 2023 with the Republic Gunship (75354). This 2014 version is unique for its specific 'Clone Wars' stylized helmet print.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include the red printing on the 'cheek' area of the helmet and the red shoulder joints. The white plastic is prone to yellowing if exposed to UV light.
Estimated Value
Used: $50.00 - $70.00 USD; New/Mint: $85.00 - $110.00 USD. Prices fluctuate based on the popularity of Clone Trooper army building.
Price (New)
Originally released in set 75046 which retailed for $49.99 USD in 2014. The figure now worth more than the original total cost of the set.
Compatible Sets
75046 Coruscant Police Gunship (2014).
Character Background
Members of the Coruscant Guard (Shock Troopers) served as an elite peacekeeping force on the Republic capital. They were tasked with riot control, guarding the Chancellor, and searching for fugitives like Ahsoka Tano.
Design Notes
Features the 2014-era helmet mold. The printing is specific to the 'The Clone Wars' aesthetic, distinguished by slightly larger eye slits compared to the 'Movie Realistic' style used in late 2020s sets.
Similar Minifigures
Commander Fox (sw0202), Coruscant Guard (sw1284), and the Senate Commando (sw0614).
Collectibility
High. Clone Troopers, especially uniquely colored legion variants like the Shock Trooper, remain the most sought-after sub-category of LEGO Star Wars collecting.
History
This figure represented LEGO's effort to update the Coruscant Guard to Phase II armor following their heavy appearance in the later seasons of the TV show.
Interesting Facts
The helmet pattern layout on this specific figure is often considered the most 'screen accurate' to the Clone Wars Season 5/6 appearance of the unit before the 2023 redesign.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed alongside other Phase II clones or with a Chancellor Palpatine figure (sw0540) to recreate the Coruscant Guard escort scenes.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'purist' customs; the red arms are often swapped onto standard troopers to create variations of Commanders or Sergeants.
Overall Assessment
A top-tier collector's item for Star Wars fans. Its exclusivity and iconic red-on-white color scheme make it a standout piece for any Clone Army display. Score: 9/10.
