Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
Released in 2022. It debuted in the 75337 AT-TE Walker set, representing the shift toward highly detailed, movie-accurate grunt soldiers.
Rarity
Uncommon. While available in a mass-market set, it is a specific 2022-modern update. Phase 2 clones are always high in demand, preventing them from being truly 'common' in the secondary market.
Head
Light Nougat head with the 'standard' Clone Trooper angry expression (black eyebrows, downturned mouth). No headgear is present in the image, but it typically includes a white Phase 2 helmet with a black T-visor.
Torso
White torso with updated 2022 Phase 2 armor printing. Features light bluish gray detailing on the chest plate and abdominal area. Back is printed with armor plating and thermal detonator. White arms with black hands.
Legs
White legs with extensive printing including knee plates, thigh armor, and toe detailing. The hip piece is white with printed black belt segments.
Accessories
The figure is holding a standard black LEGO DC-15S blaster carbine. Missing its original Phase 2 helmet in the provided image.
Color Scheme
Primary white with black and light bluish gray accents. Flesh-toned (light nougat) head.
Printing Details
High-fidelity pad printing. This version features refined lines compared to the 2014 versions, including specific toe printing which was a major upgrade for this era of Star Wars figures.
Variants
This is the 'clean' version. Variants include 'sw1100' (Bad Batch versions with different prints) and 'sw0541' (the older 2014 design with different head/torso styles).
Condition Notes
The torso shows no visible cracks. Common wear points include the neck post (from helmet removal) and the soles of the feet. Being white, it is highly susceptible to UV yellowing over time.
Estimated Value
$10 - $15 USD for a complete used figure. In its current state (missing helmet), value is approximately $5 - $7 USD.
Price (New)
Originally included in set 75337 which retailed for $139.99 USD. The figure itself accounts for a significant portion of the set's army-building value.
Compatible Sets
75337 AT-TE Walker, 40558 Clone Trooper Command Station (Blister pack variations).
Character Background
Standard Republic Clone Trooper during the latter half of the Clone Wars. These soldiers transitioned from Phase 1 to Phase 2 armor as the war progressed toward the events of Revenge of the Sith.
Design Notes
The 2022 design introduced holes on the sides of the helmets (not shown) for accessories like visors and rangefinders, representing a significant mold update for the theme.
Similar Minifigures
sw0541 (Phase 2 Clone 2014), sw1094 (501st Legion Clone), sw1235 (212th Utapau Clone).
Collectibility
High. Clone Troopers are the most collected 'army builder' figures in the Star Wars theme. This specific version is highly desired for its modernized print detail.
History
Follows a long lineage of Phase 2 clones starting from the original 2005 version (sw0126), moving through the 2014 'realistic' era to this 2022 'standard' design.
Interesting Facts
This specific printing style was long-awaited by fans who wanted 'plain' clones to match the updated 501st and 212th legion figures released shortly before it.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for large-scale MOC dioramas of the Battle of Utapau or Geonosis. Best displayed on a gray baseplate alongside a Republic vehicle like an AT-TE or Gunship.
Modification Potential
Excellent. Many collectors use these 'plain' torsos and legs as a base for custom decaling to create specific named clones like Captain Rex or Commander Cody.
Overall Assessment
A top-tier army builder figure. While this specific unit is currently 'incomplete' due to the missing helmet, the parts are in excellent crisp condition. Recommendation: Buy a replacement helmet to restore full value.
