Color Scheme
A striking contrast of White and Bright Red (Dark Red in earlier versions), consistent with Coruscant Guard livery.
Printing Details
High-detail pad printing on head, torso (front/back), and legs. Note the absence of arm printing, which is standard for this tier of figure.
Variants

Condition Notes
Check for 'helmet hole' alignment (used for rangefinders) and torso cracks under the arms. Ensure the red printing on the legs is not scratched or fading.

Character Background
Elite Clone Troopers assigned to Coruscant for peacekeeping and security. They served as bodyguards for Chancellor Palpatine and military police.
Design Notes
Utilizes the 2020 'New Clone' style helmet mold and face print, designed to bridge the gap between animated and live-action aesthetics.
Similar Minifigures
sw0531 Shock Trooper (2014), sw1097 501st Legion Clone Trooper, sw1189 187th Legion Clone Trooper.
Collectibility
High. Army builders frequently purchase multiple Coruscant Guard figures to populate dioramas of the Galactic Senate.
History
Follows a long line of Shock Troopers starting with the classic 2007 version; this 2023 iteration is the most detailed to date in terms of leg printing.
Interesting Facts
This version includes 'helmet holes' which allow for the attachment of macrobinoculars or rangefinders, a controversial design choice among some collectors.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed alongside Chancellor Palpatine, Padmé Amidala, or in the 75354 Gunship. Pair with the 501st troopers for 'Siege of Mandalore' scenes.
Modification Potential
Excellent for purist customs; parts can be swapped with Commander Fox or used for custom Coruscant security officers.
Overall Assessment
A top-tier army builder figure with excellent color saturation and modern printing techniques. A must-have for P2 Clone collections.
