Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
2021
Rarity
Uncommon / Discontinued. While not ultra-rare, he was exclusive to a single high-priced set (75314) and has since been retired, causing his secondary market value to rise steadily.
Head
Light Nugget with Tech-specific printing: large yellow goggles, light brown eyebrows, and a concentrated expression. Features a unique light bluish gray helmet mold with a flip-up lime green visor (HUD).
Torso
Light Bluish Gray with specialized Clone Force 99 armor printing. Features dark red and medium nougat accents portraying utility pouches and specialized gear. Detailed back printing and light bluish gray arms with black hands.
Legs
Light Bluish Gray with complex printing including dark red armor patterns, knee pads, and utility holsters. Excellent detail extending across the front and hips.
Accessories
Typically comes with two small black blasters and a medium nougat backpack consisting of a bracket and printed 1x1 tile representing his computer gear (accessories missing in provided photo).
Color Scheme
Light Bluish Gray base with Dark Red, Medium Nougat, and Lime Green (visor) accents. This matches the 'weathered' tech-heavy aesthetic of the Bad Batch squad.
Printing Details
Highly detailed pad printing on the helmet, head, torso (front and back), and legs. Alignment is generally high quality, characteristic of the 2021 modern Star Wars era.
Variants
None. This is the only official LEGO minifigure of Tech released to date before the character's status changed in the series.
Condition Notes
The helmet visor hinge is a common stress point. Check for torso cracks under the arms and fading on the thin dark red lines on the legs. The lime green print on the visor can be prone to scratching.
Estimated Value
Used (minifigure only): $25-$35 USD; New: $40-$50 USD. Complete with set: $160+ USD. Note: The value has spiked following the conclusion of 'The Bad Batch' series.
Price (New)
Originally released in set 75314 The Bad Batch Attack Shuttle, which retailed for $99.99 USD in 2021.
Compatible Sets
75314 The Bad Batch Attack Shuttle (2021).
Character Background
Tech (CT-9902) was the brain of Clone Force 99, a group of elite clones with 'desirable' genetic mutations. He served as the team's data analyst, pilot, and engineer throughout the Clone Wars and the early Galactic Empire era.
Design Notes
Tech features a unique helmet mold strictly designed for this character to accommodate his goggles and unique respiratory sensors, setting him apart from standard Phase II Clones.
Similar Minifigures
Hunter (sw1153), Echo (sw1156), Wrecker (sw1154), and Crosshair (sw1152). Also shares aesthetic similarities with the 2023 Commander Cody (sw1199).
Collectibility
High. As a member of a popular 'squad' where collectors want all five members, Tech is essential. His lack of inclusion in newer sets makes him a high-priority target for LEGO Star Wars fans.
History
Debuted alongside the premiere of the Disney+ series 'The Bad Batch' in 2021. He represents LEGO's move toward highly specific, individualistic clone character molds rather than reusing standard helmets.
Interesting Facts
The 'Tech' minifigure is noticeably shorter-looking than Wrecker because LEGO used standard legs for him while using a specialized shoulder armor piece for Wrecker to add bulk.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the rest of Clone Force 99 and Omega. A custom 'Havoc Marauder' interior MOC or a simple gray studded plate with tech-themed greebling works best.
Modification Potential
Commonly modified by fans with custom cloth waist capes (kamas) or custom third-party blasters to better reflect his screen-accurate dual-wielding style.
Overall Assessment
An excellent and highly detailed minifigure. The unique helmet mold and high-fidelity printing make it a standout piece of the modern LEGO Star Wars era. For collectors, this is a 'must-buy' before secondary prices rise further.
