Year Released
2023 - Debuted in the 75354 Coruscant Guard Gunship
Rarity
Uncommon. While not a limited edition, it only appeared in one set which was priced as a mid-tier enthusiast set, making army building more expensive than standard battle packs.
Head
Standard 'Clone' fleshy head for the 2020-present era, featuring more realistic facial detail (stubbe, eyebrows) and a neutral expression. It is hidden under a Phase 2 Clone Trooper helmet with red Coruscant Guard markings and a grey sun visor/macrobinoculars attachment.
Torso
Highly detailed red and white printing representing the Phase 2 Clone Trooper armor. Features complex chest plate weathering, utility belt, and red arms with black hands. Back printing includes the thermal detonator and backplate ventilation.
Legs
Dual-molded or heavily printed legs in red and white. Includes knee pad printing, toe detail, and side-thigh red armor plating consistent with the 65th Coruscant Guard's uniform.
Accessories
Typically comes with a standard black DC-15S blaster carbine. This specific unit is equipped with a dark bluish grey clone visor/macrobinoculars piece attached to the helmet holes.
Color Scheme
A striking blend of Red and White, signifying their status as the Coruscant Guard (Shock Troopers). Black hands and grey visor provide secondary accents.
Printing Details
High-fidelity modern LEGO pad printing. This version features 'waist cape' printing directly on the legs rather than a physical cloth kama, which is a point of discussion among collectors.
Variants
This is the 2023 updated version. Previous versions include the 2007 (sw0091) and the 2014 (sw0531) figures which had significantly different printing styles and helmets.
Condition Notes
The red plastic is generally durable, but the white printing on the red base of the torso can sometimes be thin. The visor attachment should be checked for stress marks around the pins.
Estimated Value
Used complete: $8.00 - $12.00; New: $15.00+; Market value remains stable but can rise as the source set retires.
Price (New)
$139.99 (Set 75354 retail price), making individual figures roughly $10-$15 on the secondary market out of the box.
Compatible Sets
75354 Coruscant Guard Gunship (2023).
Character Background
Part of the 65th Coruscant Guard, an elite unit of clone shock troopers tasked with maintaining peace on the Republic's capital planet and providing security for the Galactic Senate.
Design Notes
Uses the newer 'holed' Phase 2 helmet mold which allows for attachments like visors and rangefinders. The printing matches the aesthetic of the 2020 '212th' and '501st' troopers.
Similar Minifigures
sw0531 (2014 Shock Trooper), sw1170 (Clone Trooper Commander), and sw1097 (501st Legion Clone Trooper).
Collectibility
High. Clone Trooper variants, especially colored legion units, are the primary targets for 'Army Builders' and Star Wars completionists.
History
Represents the 15-year evolution of the LEGO Shock Trooper, moving from basic shapes to highly intricate, film-accurate weathering and accessory compatibility.
Interesting Facts
The 2023 version was highly anticipated because the previous version had become extremely expensive on the aftermarket (hitting over $60 before this release).
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in groups or beside a Chancellor Palpatine or Commander Fox minifigure to recreate Coruscant-based movie scenes.
Modification Potential
High. Collectors often swap the printed waist cape for third-party fabric kamas or add pauldrons to create custom officers like Commander Thire.
Overall Assessment
An excellent modern trooper. While the printed-on waist details are a minor drawback for purists, the overall print quality and helmet mold make it a top-tier addition to any Clone Wars collection.
