Figure ID
sw0518
Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
Released in 2014, debuting in the set 75035 Kashyyyk Troopers. It appeared during a period when LEGO was transitioning to highly detailed, movie-accurate 'camouflage' prints for battle packs.
Rarity
Uncommon. While it appeared in a relatively affordable battle pack, that set was retired years ago. It is less common than generic stormtroopers but easily accessible on secondary markets.
Head
The figure in the image is missing its head. The official version features a light flesh head with a determined expression, a chin strap print, and an olive green commando helmet with a printed specialized brim.
Torso
Olive green torso with front and back camouflage printing in a pixelated lime/tan pattern. It features a tactical vest design with a silver/gray collar, a bandolier strap across the chest, and several pouches at the waist.
Legs
Olive green legs with matching pixelated camouflage printing on the front. Includes printed pocket details and seam lines. The hip piece is also olive green.
Accessories
Commonly paired with a long blaster rifle or a stud shooter (which was the standard for 2014 battle packs). This specific figure in the image is missing all original headgear and weapons.
Color Scheme
Primary color is Olive Green. Accents include Sand Green, Tan, and Lime for the camouflage pattern, with Black and Dark Gray for line detailing and tactical gear.
Printing Details
High-quality digital/pad printing. The camouflage is unique for the era as it uses a 'speckled' or 'digital' effect. Printing extends from the torso onto the hips and legs for a continuous uniform look.
Variants
Technically sw0518 is the specific variant. It is nearly identical to sw0519 (another Trooper in the same set) but differs in head printing/facial expression. This torso was also used for Kashyyyk-themed troopers despite the 'Endor' naming convention in some databases.
Condition Notes
The neck stud shows significant wear or deliberate marking (blacked out). The hands are tan/flesh, which are prone to cracking at the wrists. The olive green plastic hidden inside the torso can develop stress marks if legs are swapped frequently.
Estimated Value
As an incomplete figure (missing head and helmet), the value is approximately $2.00 - $4.00 USD. A complete version in good condition typically sells for $8.00 - $12.00 USD.
Price (New)
Originally found in the 75035 Kashyyyk Troopers Battle Pack which retailed for $12.99 USD and included four minifigures.

Character Background
These troopers represent the elite guerrilla fighters of the Rebel Alliance, specifically outfitted for forest environments like the Forest Moon of Endor or the jungles of Kashyyyk. They specialize in sabotage and scout missions.
Design Notes
This design marked a shift away from the simple 'blocky' camouflage of the early 2000s toward a more realistic, detailed 'pixel' camo that better matched the scout troopers and Wookiees of the 2014 wave.
Similar Minifigures
sw0519 (Kashyyyk/Endor Trooper alt face), sw0520 (41st Elite Corps Trooper), and sw0016 (Classic Endor Rebel).
Collectibility
Moderate. High demand for diorama builders looking to create 'Army Builds' of Rebel forces. Value remains stable as it is a foundational 'grunt' character for Star Wars collectors.
History
The Rebel Commando has existed in LEGO form since 2002. This 2014 iteration represents the 'modern' standard of detail before LEGO moved toward even more complex dual-molded legs in later years.
Interesting Facts
Despite being labeled 'Endor' in many checklists, the set it comes from is explicitly 'Kashyyyk Troopers,' showcasing how LEGO often uses versatile camouflage prints to represent different planetary divisions.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for forest-themed dioramas. Should be displayed with a standard Rebel Commando helmet (Part 30663) in olive green to be considered 'complete.'
Modification Potential
Excellent for custom military MOCs. The olive green camouflage torso is highly sought after by 'BrickArms' enthusiasts and modern military builders for non-Star Wars applications.
Overall Assessment
A solid, high-detail trooper. While the example in the image is in poor 'parts-only' condition due to the missing pieces and marked neck, the torso and leg assembly remain valuable for collectors looking to repair or customize figures.
