Figure ID
sw0201
Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
2008-2010 (Debuted in set 7675 and featured in 10195)
Rarity
Uncommon to Rare. While the standard white phase 1 clone is usually common, this specific variant with the 'Clone Wars' stylized eyes and small grille appeared in high-priced sets like 10195, increasing its market friction.
Head
Standard 'Clone Wars' stylized face with large black eyes and a determined expression (distinct from the later 'realistic' flesh heads). Helmet is the Phase 1 mold with stylized black top fin and black visor print.
Torso
White with black and light bluish gray chest plate details. Features the 'stylized' animated look consistent with the 2008 Clone Wars TV series design. Back printing includes standard armor plating outlines.
Legs
Plain white legs with a white hip piece. No printing on this specific era's standard trooper legs.
Accessories
Typically armed with a black DC-15A blaster rifle or DC-15S blaster carbine. Set 10195 included 8 of these troopers to man the AT-OT walker.
Color Scheme
Primary white with black and light bluish gray accents. This represents the 'shiny' or standard recruit armor before legion-specific colors (like 501st blue or 212th orange) are applied.
Printing Details
Sharp pad printing on the helmet and torso. The helmet visor is specifically shaped to mimic the animated show. Printing is limited to the front/back of the torso and the front of the helmet.
Variants
Variants include the 'Realistic' Phase 1 (sw0058), the updated 2013 Version (sw0442), and the 2022 Accessory Pack version (sw1189). This (sw0201) is the 'Animated' style.
Condition Notes
Common wear includes 'helmet yellowing' due to UV exposure and torso cracks on the sides. Check for 'clutch power' on the helmet fin which can chip if dropped.
Estimated Value
Used: $8 - $12 USD; New: $15 - $20 USD. Value is heavily driven by the quantity needed for army building, specifically for owners of set 10195.
Price (New)
Retail price of set 10195 was $249.99 USD in 2009. Individually, these were never sold in polybags, only in sets or battle packs.
Compatible Sets
10195 Republic Dropship with AT-OT Walker, 7675 AT-TE Walker, 8014 Clone Walker Battle Pack.
Character Background
Standard clones of Jango Fett, these Phase 1 troopers are the backbone of the Grand Army of the Republic during the early stages of the Conflict as seen in the 2008 film and TV series.
Design Notes
This figure marks the 'Animation Era' of LEGO Star Wars where heads had oversized 'bug eyes' to match the CGI aesthetics of the Dave Filoni series. It was a polarizing but iconic design period.
Similar Minifigures

Collectibility
High demand for 'army builders.' Collectors often seek these in groups of 10 or more. Stability is high due to the nostalgia for the original Clone Wars run.
History
First introduced in 2008 to coincide with the launch of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars movie. It replaced the previous 2002 'dots-for-eyes' troopers.
Interesting Facts
The set shown in the image (10195) is one of the most sought-after LEGO Star Wars sets in history, frequently selling for over $1,500 new today, which makes these 'pack-in' troopers essential for restoration.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in 'marching formation' or seated within the AT-OT. Use a tiered stand to showcase the 8 troopers included in the set.
Modification Potential
Excellent base for custom decals. Many customizers use this white base to apply 'AV Figures' or 'Clone Army Customs' decals for specific Jedi Commanders.
Overall Assessment
A quintessential piece of LEGO Star Wars history. While simple in design (no leg printing), its association with the legendary 10195 set makes it a cornerstone of any Prequel-era collection.
