Rarity
Rare. This figure was exclusive to a single, mid-range set that has been retired for nearly a decade. Its tie to the popular 'Wolfpack' squad increases secondary market demand.
Head
Standard 'Clone Trooper' head with 'Angry Clone' expression. It features light flesh skin tone, black eyebrows, and a grimacing mouth. The 'Phase II' helmet included features the unique jagged grey Wolfpack markings, a black rangefinder, and holes for attachments.
Torso
White torso with Wolfpack (104th Battalion) armor printing. Features light bluish gray markings on the chest and dark bluish gray arms with black hands. Back printing includes the thermal detonator and armor plating details.
Legs
Dark bluish gray legs with light bluish gray hips. Printing includes white and light gray armor plating on the front of the legs and knees, matching the Wolfpack aesthetic.
Accessories
Equipped with a black DC-15S blaster carbine, a white jetpack (bolted to the neck bracket), and a black rangefinder attached to the side of the helmet.
Color Scheme
Primary white and dark bluish gray with light bluish gray accents. This palette represents the 104th Battalion's 'Wolfpack' livery under Commander Wolffe.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the helmet, torso, and legs. Key features include the sharp jagged lines on the helmet and the intricate belt detailing. There is no side-arm or side-leg printing on this version.
Variants
Identical in design to the sw0521 variant (which used sand blue components and appeared in the 2014 Advent Calendar), this dark bluish gray version is the version specifically from set 75045.
Condition Notes
Prone to hairline cracks in the heels and torso sides. The rangefinder can become loose over time. The white plastic is susceptible to yellowing if displayed in direct sunlight.
Estimated Value
$60.00 - $85.00 USD (Used, complete); $100.00+ USD (New/Mint condition). Total value can fluctuate based on the presence of the original jetpack and rangefinder.
Price (New)
Included in set 75045 (Republic AV-7 Anti-Vehicle Cannon) which retailed for $49.99 USD in 2014.

Character Background
A member of the 104th Battalion, also known as 'The Wolfpack,' led by Jedi General Plo Koon and Commander Wolffe. They are famous for their grit and specialized armor designs during the Clone Wars.
Design Notes
This figure marks the transition to the Phase II Clone Trooper design for the Wolfpack. The dark bluish gray color was chosen to represent their more subdued, tactical animation look compared to earlier sand-blue iterations.
Similar Minifigures
Commander Wolffe (sw0330), Wolfpack Clone Trooper Phase I (sw0331), and the 2014 CMF-style Wolfpack variant (sw0521).
Collectibility
Very High. Clone Trooper legions are among the most collected niches in LEGO Star Wars. The 'Wolfpack' is a fan-favorite sub-group, making this a cornerstone for army builders.
History
Launched in the winter 2014 wave of LEGO Star Wars sets, this figure represented the evolution of Clone Wars-era printing, moving away from the 'large eye' animation style toward a more realistic Phase II look.
Interesting Facts
Despite their popularity, Phase II Wolfpack troopers have only ever appeared in one retail building set and one advent calendar, making them much harder to 'army build' than 501st or 212th troopers.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside Jedi Master Plo Koon and Commander Wolffe. Use a clear acrylic stand to highlight the jetpack and the unique helmet printing profile.
Modification Potential
Highly compatible with official LEGO cloth pauldrons or kamas to create custom specialist ranks within the 104th Battalion. Often used in Clone Wars MOCs depicting the Battle of Umbara.
Overall Assessment
An elite-tier Star Wars minifigure. With its unique color palette and sharp printing, it remains one of the most aesthetically pleasing Clone Troopers ever produced. A 'must-buy' for serious Star Wars collectors.
