Theme

Year Released
2015 - Released as part of the initial wave of sets for The Force Awakens, marking a significant update to the Stormtrooper design lineage in LEGO form.
Rarity
Uncommon - While mass-produced in several sets from 2015 to 2017, this figure is specific to certain vehicle sets rather than battle packs, making it less ubiquitous than standard First Order Stormtroopers.
Head
Standard plain white head or light flesh tone with a specific stern expression (depending on the set version). In the image, the focus is on the specialized First Order Flametrooper helmet, which features a narrow visor and specific breathing apparatus mold.
Torso
White torso with First Order Flametrooper chest plate printing and life support equipment. Printed front and back with light bluish gray and black thermal detailing. Grey arms with white hands.
Legs
White legs with specialized printing showing protective knee plating and thermal piping. The design is unique to this trooper variant to denote fire-resistant armor.
Accessories
Includes a black short blaster (as seen in image). In original sets, it typically includes a buildable flamethrower consisting of a black nozzle, translucent orange stud, and a neck-bracket attached backpack connected by a black flexible tube.
Color Scheme
Predominantly White and Light Bluish Gray with black printing. The armor is designed to look sterile and functional, following the First Order aesthetic.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the helmet, torso, and legs. Features sharp line work for the narrow visor and detailed technical panels on the chest. The leg printing is well-aligned with the torso belt line.
Variants
The primary variant is the sw0666. A visually identical version appeared in 2019 but sometimes used different internal head prints (Angry Clone vs. Flesh tone).
Condition Notes
Common wear points include the neck bracket (if used) causing torso cracks and friction wear on the black blaster. The white plastic is susceptible to yellowing if exposed to UV light.
Estimated Value
Used: $5 - $8 USD; New: $10 - $14 USD. Values can fluctuate based on whether the complex buildable flamethrower accessory is included.
Price (New)
Originally available in sets ranging from $49.99 (75103 First Order Transporter) to $149.99 (75189 First Order Heavy Assault Walker).
Compatible Sets
75103 First Order Transporter (2015), 75149 Resistance X-Wing Fighter (2016), 75166 First Order Transport Speeder Battle Pack (2017), 75177 First Order Heavy Scout Walker (2017).
Character Background
Specially trained First Order stormtroopers who utilize D-93 incinerators to flush out entrenched enemies and destroy civilian settlements, as seen in the opening village raid of The Force Awakens.
Design Notes
The helmet is a unique mold introduced specifically for this trooper, characterized by the 'slotted' visor restricted view intended to protect the wearer's eyes from intense glare and heat.

Collectibility
Moderate-high. Necessary for collectors building a complete First Order army. Popularity remains stable due to the unique helmet mold and technical detailing.
History
Debuted in the first wave of The Force Awakens sets. It represented a shift in LEGO Star Wars toward more specialized trooper molds for variant designs rather than just torso-print variations.
Interesting Facts
The helmet design was inspired by real-world 20th-century tank crew goggles and gas masks to give it a more menacing, utilitarian look compared to the standard Stormtrooper.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed alongside a First Order Transporter or in a 'Battle of Jakku' MOC. Use a low-angle light to highlight the specific mold details of the unique helmet visor.
Modification Potential
Excellent for MOCs; the torso and legs are often used for custom sci-fi 'hazard suit' characters or space-faring engineers beyond the Star Wars theme.
Overall Assessment
A standout specialist trooper with a superb unique helmet mold. It holds its value well and serves as a high-quality example of the 'New Trilogy' LEGO Star Wars design language. Rating: 8/10.
