Year Released

Rarity
Uncommon. This figure was exclusive to a single Battle Pack (75088) released in 2015. While mass-produced at the time, it has been retired for years, making it harder to find in mint condition.
Head
Standard black 'head-placeholder' piece used under helmets in 2015. It features the standard Phase I-style helmet specifically molded for the Senate Guard/Commando character with a unique visor and forehead fin.
Torso
Blue torso with black Clone Trooper armor printing. It features specialized Senate Commando chest plating, belt detailing, and muscular contouring in black. The arms are blue with black hands.
Legs
Blue legs with intricate black printing on the front and hips. The print depicts the lower armor plates and knee pads consistent with the Clone Wars animated series aesthetic.
Accessories
The base figure in the image is missing its weapon. Originally, it came with a black stud-shooter blaster. It does not utilize capes or shoulder pauldrons like the Captain variant.
Color Scheme
A striking monochromatic Blue (Lego color: Bright Blue) with high-contrast Black printing for the armor details and visor.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing typical of the mid-2010s. The printing is limited to the front of the torso and legs, plus the helmet. There is no arm printing or side-leg printing.
Variants
There is a 'Senate Commando Captain' (sw0613) from the same set, which features a white 'lightning bolt' print on the helmet and torso. The sw0614 is the standard grunt version.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include the neck joint (cracking), torso sides, and the 'fin' on the helmet which can get chipped. Used figures often show loose leg joints or faded printing on the belt.
Estimated Value
Used: $5 - $8 USD | New: $10 - $14 USD. Values fluctuate based on the condition of the helmet's white print (if it were the Captain) or general play wear.
Price (New)
This figure was part of set 75088, which retailed for $12.99 USD in 2015. The set contained four minifigures, valuing this figure at roughly $3.25 at retail.

Character Background
Senate Commandos were an elite security force and a division of the Senate Guard. They appeared primarily in the 'Star Wars: The Clone Wars' animated series, serving as protectors for the Galactic Senate and Chancellor Palpatine.
Design Notes
The 2015 version features an updated, more detailed print compared to the original 2009 version (sw0244). The blue is much more vibrant, and the visor printing is more accurate to the TV show.
Similar Minifigures
sw0613 (Senate Commando Captain), sw0244 (Original Senate Commando), sw0011 (Classic Senate Guard).
Collectibility
Moderate. It is a 'base' trooper, meaning collectors often seek them in multiples for army building. Demand remains steady due to the popularity of the Clone Wars era.
History
First introduced in 2009 in set 8039, the Senate Commando design was overhauled in 2015 to match the modern 'refined' style of Star Wars minifigures with thinner lines and more detailed belt prints.
Interesting Facts
The helmet for this figure is a unique mold that differs from standard Clone Trooper Phase I or II helmets; it specifically mimics the Mandalorian-inspired design of the Coruscant guards.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a phalanx or row alongside the Senate Commando Captain. They look excellent when placed on light-gray Coruscant-style architecture MOCs.
Modification Potential
Excellent for custom Mandalorian builds due to the blue armor pieces. The torso is often used for blue-armored MOCs or Purist custom Mandalorians.
Overall Assessment
B-Grade. A solid army builder with a great color profile. Its value has held steady, and it remains the definitive LEGO version of the character.
