Character Background
The 187th Legion was a unit of clone troopers that served under the command of Jedi Master Mace Windu. They are distinguished by their unique purple armor markings, reflecting the color of Windu's lightsaber blade.
Design Notes
Interesting lore-to-toy transition: the 187th Legion design used here actually originated from Hasbro action figures and fan-canon before LEGO canonized this specific color scheme for the unit in 2022.
Similar Minifigures
187th Legion Clone Commander (sw1206), 501st Legion Clone Trooper (sw1094), 212th Attack Battalion Clone Trooper (sw1235).
Collectibility
High; Clone Trooper 'army building' is one of the most popular niches in LEGO collecting, ensuring long-term demand for legion-specific variants.
History
Part of the transition to the 2020 'universal' clone trooper style which attempts to bridge the gap between Live Action and Animated appearances.
Interesting Facts
Despite their popularity, the 187th Legion is rarely seen in mainstream media, making this minifigure a rare deep-cut for fans of the Expanded Universe and Mace Windu's lore.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed alongside Mace Windu (sw1205) and the Republic Fighter Tank, or in a 'march' formation with other purple-tinted clones.
Modification Potential
Excellent for army building; helmet and legs are highly sought after for custom commanders or specialized troop types.
Overall Assessment
A standout trooper due to the unique purple color palette. Essential for Clone Wars completionists and a high-quality example of modern LEGO Star Wars printing.
