Color Scheme
White base with black accents and heavily applied custom bright red paint/ink splatters.
Printing Details
Features original factory pad printing for the base Phase 2 Shock Trooper design, overlaid with amateur hand-applied red ink or paint across the torso and legs.
Variants
This is a custom-modified variant of the official sw0529 Phase 2 Clone Shock Trooper, created by a fan or collector adding hand-painted weathering or 'blood'.
Condition Notes
Significant permanent modification via hand-painted red markings. Standard wear and tear expected from used LEGO parts, but the primary condition note is the non-factory custom paint.
Estimated Value
Lower than the official pristine figure due to permanent custom modification; estimated around $5 to $10 USD for parts, whereas an authentic pristine sw0529 commands $25 to $40 USD.
Price (New)
The original set containing the base figure (75034 Death Star Troopers) retailed for $12.99 USD in 2014, though that set featured standard imperial troopers—the official Phase 2 Shock Trooper debuted primarily in 75037 Battle on Saleucami for $14.99 USD.
Compatible Sets
Base figure appears in 75037 Battle on Saleucami (2014) and potentially other Clone Wars era sets, while this specific modified version is a one-of-a-kind custom.
Character Background
Clone Shock Troopers were elite members of the Coruscant Guard, serving as peacekeepers and security forces in the Galactic Republic capital during the Clone Wars.
Design Notes
Uses standard LEGO molds with a Phase 2 Clone helmet, but has been altered outside of official LEGO manufacturing processes.

Collectibility
Low collectibility for purist LEGO Star Wars collectors due to permanent modifications, but may appeal to customizers or fans of gritty, battle-damaged MOCs.
History
LEGO introduced the Phase 2 Clone Shock Trooper in 2014 during the height of the Clone Wars toy line revival, updating earlier Phase 1 designs with modern helmet molds.
Interesting Facts
The red splatter effect mimics custom community trends often called 'blaster gore' or 'zombie clone' modifications popular among dark-themed Star Wars MOC builders.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a custom diorama depicting a brutal battlefield, a medical triage scene, or a zombie-themed Star Wars alternate universe MOC.
Modification Potential
Extremely high modification potential since the figure has already been permanently altered with paint; ideal for further custom weathering or post-apocalyptic builds.
Overall Assessment
A heavily customized and permanently altered LEGO Star Wars Clone Trooper. While lacking value for purist collectors, it serves as an interesting piece of fan art or custom diorama fodder.
