Uncommon. This specific version was only available in two sets released in 2015 and 2016, making it harder to find than standard white troopers.
Head
Standard 'Angry Clone' face (flesh tone) under a Phase II helmet. The helmet features red markings characteristic of the Coruscant Guard.
Torso
White torso with Clone Trooper armor printing, featuring distinct red arms and red details on the chest plate. Black hands are used to represent gloves.
Legs
White legs with red printing on the kneecaps and hips to match the Shock Trooper aesthetic. Standard Phase II armor detailing.
Accessories
Usually paired with a DC-15S blaster carbine or a DC-15A blaster rifle (not pictured in the image).
Color Scheme
Primary white and bright red, with black accents for the visor, joints, and belt.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the helmet, torso, and legs. Includes thermal detonator detailing on the back of the torso and crisp line work on the helmet vents.
Variants
There are older versions (sw0091) from 2005 with classic mega-visors and newer 2023 versions (sw1281) with holes for helmet attachments.
Condition Notes
Prone to 'torso cracks' on the sides under the arms and yellowing of the white plastic if exposed to sunlight. Helmet printing on the nose can sometimes be misaligned.

Character Background
Shock Troopers served as elite tactical support and security on Coruscant. They are most famous for searching for Yoda in the Senate chamber after his duel with Palpatine.
Design Notes
This version uses the 'Rebels' era styling which features slightly thinner lines and a more stylized visor compared to the movie-accurate 'realistic' line.
Similar Minifigures

Collectibility
High. Clone Trooper variants are highly sought after by army builders and prequel-era enthusiasts.
History
First introduced in 2005 for Revenge of the Sith sets, the Shock Trooper has seen four major design overhauls, with this 2015 version representing the mid-period 'Rebels' aesthetic.
Interesting Facts
Despite being called 'Shock Troopers,' they are actually the Coruscant Guard. This specific printing style was bridged between the Clone Wars TV show and the Rebels TV show designs.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a Coruscant-themed MOC or alongside Emperor Palpatine to simulate the end of Episode III.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'purist' customs; the red arms are often harvested by collectors to upgrade other specialized clone battalions.
Overall Assessment
A solid B+ tier minifigure. It offers great color contrast for a collection and holds its value well, though it lacks the leg printing detail of more modern 2020+ iterations.
