Figure ID
sw0614
Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
2015. It debuted in the 'Senate Commando Troopers' battle pack during a period where LEGO was updating Clone Wars designs with more realistic printing styles.
Rarity
Uncommon. While it appeared in a low-cost battle pack, that set has been retired for several years and this specific monochrome blue variant is highly sought after for army building.
Head
The head is a standard Light Nougat 'Clone Trooper' head with a determined expression, hidden entirely by the helmet. The helmet is a unique Blue Senate Commando mold with a distinct fin and T-visor printing.
Torso
The torso is solid Blue with black contour lines representing commando armor. It features a utility belt design and chest plate detailing. The back is also printed with armor plating. The arms are solid blue with black hands.
Legs
Solid Blue legs with black printing on the hips and knee plate detailing. There is no side leg printing, which was standard for battle pack figures of the 2015 era.
Accessories
The figure originally came with a black stud-shooter blaster. Note: In the provided image, the accessory is missing. Historically, these characters also use DC-15A blaster rifles.
Color Scheme
A striking monochromatic Blue palette with Black accent printing. This specific shade of blue is used to signify the Senate Guard's elite status in the Star Wars universe.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing focused on the front and back torso, helmet visor, and front of the legs. The alignment is generally precise, typical of LEGO's mid-2010s production standards.
Variants
This is the 'realistic' 2015 version. A previous version (sw0447) existed with 'Clone Wars' stylized eyes on the visor. There is also a Captain version (sw0615) which features additional white markings on the helmet and torso.
Condition Notes
The blue plastic is prone to visible scratches and 'flea bites' on the edges. The helmet fin is a high-wear point that can show stress marks or paint rubbing on the visor area.
Estimated Value
Used: $5 - $8 USD; New: $10 - $14 USD. The price varies based on the condition of the visor printing which is easily scratched.
Price (New)
The figure was part of set 75088 which retailed for $12.99 USD. This set contained four minifigures, making the initial value approximately $3.25 per figure.

Character Background
Senate Commandos are elite soldiers tasked with protecting the Galactic Senate and high-ranking officials on Coruscant. They are more skilled than standard Senate Guards and appeared frequently in 'The Clone Wars' animated series.
Design Notes
The 2015 update moved away from the large 'cartoon' eyes on the helmet visor, replacing them with a sleek black T-visor that looks more consistent with the phase 1 Clone Trooper aesthetic.
Similar Minifigures
Senate Commando Captain (sw0615), Senate Commando - Clone Wars (sw0447), Royal Guard (sw0521), and various Blue Phase 1 Clone Troopers.
Collectibility
High. Because they are army builders, many collectors seek them in quantities (5, 10, or more), which keeps the steady demand and secondary market prices stable.
History
First introduced in 2013 for the Clone Wars line, this character saw its final 'realistic' iteration in 2015. It represents the transition period where LEGO unified the art styles of various Star Wars media.
Interesting Facts
Despite appearing in a 'Clone' themed battle pack, Senate Commandos are technically recruited human soldiers, not clones, though they wear armor inspired by the clones' Phase 1 design.
Display Suggestions
Display in ranks of four or more behind a Senate podium or alongside Chancellor Palpatine. They look best when paired with the Captain variant in a symmetrical formation.
Modification Potential
Excellent for custom MOCs of the Coruscant Guard. The blue parts are also popular for creating custom Mandalorian warriors or 'blue-squadron' pilots.
Overall Assessment
A solid, classic Star Wars minifigure. While missing its accessory in the image, the figure appears to be in good condition. It is a mandatory addition for anyone building a Coruscant or Senate-themed LEGO layout.
