Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
2018 (Released in Set 75211)
Rarity
Uncommon to Rare. While it appeared in a standard retail set, it was exclusive to that single set which has since been retired, making it a highly sought-after army builder.
Head
Standard black 'head' piece used for troopers of this era (no face printing) underneath a highly detailed, weathered Stormtrooper helmet. The helmet features unique tan and dark gray 'mud' splatters.
Torso
Light Bluish Gray torso with detailed Stormtrooper armor printing, heavily 'weathered' with mud and grime patterns. It features black hands and light bluish gray arms.
Legs
Light Bluish Gray with mud-splattered printing that continues the weathered aesthetic from the torso. Includes printing on the hips and front of the legs.
Accessories
Includes a black neck-bracket cloth cape (tattered aesthetic) and a standard black E-11 blaster rifle.
Color Scheme
Primary color is Light Bluish Gray with accents of Dark Bluish Gray, Black, and Tan (mud highlights).
Printing Details
Extremely high-quality pad printing. The weathering is intricate and non-symmetrical, giving it a realistic 'gritty' look compared to standard clean Stormtroopers.
Variants
There are no official variants of this specific Mimban version, though it is a specialized variant of the standard Imperial Stormtrooper.
Condition Notes
The cloth cape is prone to fraying or creasing. Check for 'arm cracks' on the torso sides and ensure the mud printing on the helmet isn't scratched, as it is prominent.
Estimated Value
Used: $50 - $65; New: $75 - $90. Prices have risen significantly since set retirement due to army-building demand.
Price (New)
Originally included in set 75211 (Imperial TIE Fighter) which retailed for $69.99 USD in 2018.
Compatible Sets
75211 Imperial TIE Fighter.
Character Background
This trooper represents the Imperial army stationed on the swamp planet Mimban, as seen in 'Solo: A Star Wars Story'. They are known for their rugged gear designed for trench warfare.
Design Notes
The use of Light Bluish Gray instead of white for the base armor was a bold design choice that accurately captures the movie's atmospheric lighting and dirt.
Similar Minifigures
Mudtrooper (sw0934), Han Solo - Mimban (sw0921), and standard 2018 Stormtroopers.
Collectibility
High. It is considered one of the 'coolest' trooper variants due to its unique color and detailed weathering, making it a top-tier collectable for Star Wars fans.
History
Released during the Solo movie wave in 2018. It marked a peak in LEGO's 'weathered' printing techniques for Star Wars minifigures.
Interesting Facts
Despite being called a 'Stormtrooper', the cape and gray color make many fans confuse it with the 'Mudtrooper' infantry, though they are distinct units in lore.
Display Suggestions
Looks best in a trench or mud-themed MOC. Display next to the Mudtrooper Han Solo and standard TIE Pilots for a Solo-themed shelf.
Modification Potential
The helmet and torso are excellent for custom 'post-apocalyptic' or 'desert' trooper builds. Third-party 'brick-built' weapons can enhance the gritty look.
Overall Assessment
10/10 for design. A standout figure of the 2018 era. Highly recommended for collectors before prices climb further due to its single-set exclusivity.
