Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
2020 (Original release in set 75286)
Rarity
Common (Base figure) / Poor (Condition). The original figure is widely available in the General Grievous's Starfighter set, but this specific unit has significant non-factory alterations.
Head
Standard Clone Trooper head (likely the 2020 'Integrated' flesh-tone face) underneath an Airborne-style helmet with orange markings.
Torso
White torso with 212th Attack Battalion orange markings and belt detailing. Note: This item shows heavy red markings that appear to be non-factory paint or ink.
Legs
White legs with orange knee pad printing and orange feet. Matching the 212th Battalion color scheme.
Accessories
Equipped with two black DC-17 blaster pistols; the base figure usually includes a long blaster rifle.
Color Scheme
White and Orange (212th Battalion colors). The figure is currently marred by red ink or paint 'blood' weathering effects added by a user.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on helmet, torso, and legs. However, the visible 'damage' effects are hand-applied and not part of the LEGO factory print.
Variants
The base trooper appeared in 2014 (sw0523) and was updated in 2020 (sw1100). This is the 2020 version, though heavily modified.
Condition Notes
Extreme play wear or intentional 'customization'. The figure has been drawn on with what appears to be red permanent marker or paint, which significantly reduces collector value.
Estimated Value
$2 - $5 USD (Damaged condition) / $12 - $18 USD (Mint condition original).
Price (New)
Included in set 75286 for $79.99 (Retail).

Character Background
Airborne Troopers were specialized clone troopers trained for high-altitude drops. The 212th Attack Battalion was led by Commander Cody and Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Design Notes
Features the unique 'Airborne' helmet mold which differs from the standard Phase II helmet. The 2020 update improved the printing contrast and leg details.
Similar Minifigures
sw0523 (2014 Airborne Trooper), sw0453 (212th Clone Trooper), sw1097 (501st Legion Clone Trooper).
Collectibility
Low in current state. While 212th Troopers are highly sought after for army building, the permanent marker damage makes this a 'filler' figure or for custom use only.
History
First introduced as a dedicated mold in 2014 for the Utapau Troopers set; redesigned in 2020 with more accurate coloration for the Revenge of the Sith line.
Interesting Facts
The helmet design is actually based on the concept art for paratroopers. This specific figure has been 'battle-damaged' by a previous owner using red ink.
Display Suggestions
Best used in a 'battle-worn' MOC (My Own Creation) or diorama where the damage can be contextualized as an injury or mud.
Modification Potential
High. The figure is already modified; it could be restored using isopropyl alcohol (at risk of removing factory print) or fully customized into a custom character.
Overall Assessment
This is a genuine LEGO sw1100 Airborne Trooper that has been heavily devalued by permanent marker. Ideal for play or custom painting, but not suitable for a mint-condition collection.
