Head
Light Flesh head with a determined expression, stubble, and brown eyebrows. It is topped with a tan commando-style helmet featuring a white goggle piece.
Torso
Tan jacket over a light green shirt; features a reddish-brown bandolier with printed pouches on the front and back. Hands are black to represent gloves.

Color Scheme
Earth tones consisting primarily of Tan, Dark Tan, and Reddish Brown, accented by light green and black elements.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing with significant detail on the bandolier and leg camouflage. Printing covers the front and back of the torso.
Variants
There are several Resistance Trooper variants with different headpieces and torso colors (Olive Green vs. Tan), but the camouflage leg pattern is consistent across most.
Condition Notes
The white goggles are prone to falling off and getting lost. Check for side-cracks on the torso and friction wear on the leg joints.
Estimated Value
Used: $2.00 - $4.00 USD; New: $5.00 - $7.00 USD. Value is held back by high supply due to Battle Pack availability.
Price (New)
Originally available in a $12.99 USD Star Wars Battle Pack (75131) which included four minifigures.
Compatible Sets
75131: Resistance Trooper Battle Pack (2016); 75178: Jakku Quadjumper (2017).
Character Background
Fighters for General Leia Organa's Resistance, these soldiers were the primary ground forces fighting the First Order on planets like D'Qar.
Design Notes
The helmet is a two-part mold/assembly that was a significant improvement over the static molded goggles of earlier Star Wars eras.
Similar Minifigures
sw0698 (Resistance Trooper with Olive Jacket), sw0721 (Resistance Officer), and sw0837 (Resistance Trooper with frown).
Collectibility
Moderate for ‘Army Builders’ looking to create large dioramas, but low for high-end investors due to high circulation.
History
Represents the transition of LEGO Star Wars into the sequel era, showcasing more intricate, weathered printing compared to the Prequel/OT era troopers.
Interesting Facts
The leg printing pattern is often nicknamed the 'Mynock' pattern by the LEGO community due to its resemblance to creature markings.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in groups of 4-8 on a tan or grey baseplate to simulate a Resistance base or hangar scene.
Modification Potential
Excellent for military MOCs. The tan jacket and helmet work well for generic desert insurgent or tactical mercenary customs.
Overall Assessment
A solid, detailed army builder with high-quality printing that remains affordable and highly functional for Star Wars fans.
