Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
2023 (Debuted in the UCS Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser 75367)
Rarity
Uncommon to Rare. Originally exclusive to an expensive UCS set, but later released in a more affordable Microfighter (sw1350 variant).
Head
Standard clone head with a determined expression and 'Rex' bandage print on the side; fits into a Phase 2 helmet with unique tally mark 'Jaig Eye' printing.
Torso
Detailed white armor with blue markings; features front and back printing including the Captain's distinctive survival pack and weathered weld marks.
Legs
Standard white legs with blue 501st Legion markings, kneepad printing, and detailed toe/boot markings.
Accessories
Includes a blue cloth pauldron, a gray rangefinder attached to the helmet, and two black DC-17 blaster pistols; cloth waist cape (kama) is printed on legs.
Color Scheme
Primary white and blue (501st Legion) with accents of black, gray, and dark blue; features 'weathered' printing to simulate battle damage.
Printing Details
Extremely high-quality pad printing including arm printing (which was a major upgrade over the 2013 version) and printed rangefinder details.
Variants
The sw1315 version (Microfighter) is nearly identical but lacks the arm printing and cloth pauldron seen in the initial sw1291/75367 release.
Condition Notes
Check for fraying on the cloth pauldron and ensuring the rangefinder isn't loose. The arm printing is susceptible to 'point of contact' wear if played with heavily.
Estimated Value
New: $40 - $60; Used: $30 - $45. Value dropped significantly after the release of the $13 Microfighter set.
Price (New)
$649.99 (Retail of set 75367) or $12.99 (Retail of set 75391 for the variant).
Compatible Sets
75367 UCS Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser and 75391 Captain Rex Y-Wing Microfighter (variant).
Character Background
Captain Rex (CT-7567) is the commander of the 501st Legion and a primary protagonist in 'The Clone Wars' and 'Rebels' animated series.
Design Notes
A massive leap in design compared to the 2013 version (sw0450). Features dedicated arm printing and more screen-accurate 'tally marks' on the helmet.
Similar Minifigures
sw0450 Captain Rex (2013), sw1291 Captain Rex (UCS), and various 501st Legion Clone Troopers.
Collectibility
High. Despite being more available now, it remains one of the most iconic and sought-after clone characters in the LEGO Star Wars lineup.
History
Follows a 10-year gap where Phase 2 Rex was one of the most expensive 'white whales' in the hobby, reaching prices over $200 before this remake.
Interesting Facts
The 'Jaig Eyes' on his helmet are an award for bravery in Mandalorian culture. Fans petitioned for years for this specific arm-printed version.
Display Suggestions
Display on a stand next to the UCS Venator or alongside Ahsoka Tano and a squad of 501st troopers. Keep out of direct sunlight to prevent white brick yellowing.
Modification Potential
Commonly modified with custom waist capes (kamas) from third-party vendors like Cape Cantina to replace the printed-on leg version.
Overall Assessment
9/10. An excellent figure that corrected the scarcity of the previous version. Standout features include the helmet printing and cloth pauldron.
