Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
2018 (Released with set 75211 Imperial TIE Fighter)
Rarity
Uncommon. This specific muddy variant was exclusive to a single, mid-priced set tied to the Solo movie production wave.
Head
Standard plain black head under a white helmet. The helmet features the 2014-pattern mold with unique dark tan brown 'muddy' splotch printing.
Torso
White torso with Stormtrooper armor pattern. Design includes distinct dark tan mud stains on the chest plate and abdominal area. Back printing follows the standard armor layout with matching mud details. Black hands.
Legs
White legs with black hip joints. Muddy prints appear on the thigh armor and down toward the boots, consistent with the 'Mimban' swamp environment aesthetic.
Accessories
Standard issue is a medium blaster (black). This specific figure in the image is also wearing a light bluish gray cloth pauldron/shoulder cape, which is accurate to the set's configuration.
Color Scheme
Primary white and black base colors with Dark Tan (Mud) accent splatters. This represents a weathered, 'gritty' version of the classic Imperial aesthetic.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing. The 'mud' stains are intentionally asymmetrical and randomized in appearance to create a realistic weathered look, localized on the front of the helmet, torso, and legs.
Variants
Variants include sw0926 (Mudtrooper with cape) and sw0585 (Standard Stormtrooper). This variant is specifically the muddy standard armor version rather than the Mimban Stormtrooper (sw0927) which has a different helmet shape.
Condition Notes
The white plastic can yellow over time if exposed to UV. Check for frayed edges on the cloth pauldron and ensuring the 'mud' printing on the helmet isn't scratched, as it is a high-contact area.
Estimated Value
Used: $12.00 - $18.00; New (pulled from set): $20.00 - $25.00. Value remains stable due to its unique weathering.
Price (New)
Originally released in set 75211 which retailed for $69.99 USD. It was one of four minifigures in the set.
Compatible Sets
75211 Imperial TIE Fighter (2018).
Character Background
Based on the Imperial troops stationed on Mimban in 'Solo: A Star Wars Story'. These troops are characterized by their filthy, bogged-down gear due to the swampy, rainy conditions of the combat zone.
Design Notes
LEGO utilized the standard Stormtrooper mold but applied specialized 'battle damage' printing. This was part of a shift toward more cinematic accuracy and gritty textures in the Star Wars line.
Similar Minifigures
sw0927 Mimban Stormtrooper, sw0630 Han Solo (Stormtrooper Disguise), sw1095 Stormtrooper (Dual Molded Helmet).
Collectibility
High for 'army builders' who want a diverse, realistic Imperial army. It is a niche variant that appeals to fans of the Solo film and more detailed UCS-style displays.
History
Follows the evolution of the 2014 Stormtrooper mold before LEGO transitioned to the dual-molded (removable) helmet style in 2019. This represents the peak of 'printed-only' helmet detail.
Interesting Facts
Despite being called 'Muddy Stormtroopers' by fans, the set instructions simply list it as a Stormtrooper. It is one of the few times LEGO intentionally 'dirtied' a pristine white minifigure.
Display Suggestions
Pair with Han Solo (Mimban) and Chewbacca (Mimban) in a trench warfare vignette. Best displayed on dark tan or reddish-brown baseplates to simulate mud.
Modification Potential
Excellent for custom Mimban MOCs. The muddy parts can be mixed with the 2018 Mudtrooper parts to create custom swamp soldiers.
Overall Assessment
A fantastic variant that breaks the monotony of a standard white Stormtrooper army. Highly recommended for its unique printing and accuracy to the Mimban battle scenes.
