Figure ID
sw0377
Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
2012 (Debuted in the Elite Clone Trooper & Commando Droid Battle Pack)
Rarity
Uncommon / Highly Sought After; as it was exclusive to a single battle pack that has been discontinued for over a decade.
Head
Standard 'Clone Wars' style flesh-toned head with large stylized eyes and determined expression; covered by a Phase 1 ARC Trooper helmet with red markings and rangefinder attachment.
Torso
White torso with ARC trooper armor printing, featuring sand blue chest plates, pouches, and a red rank identification badge. Includes black hands.
Legs
White legs with dark red and grey printing to simulate specialized ARC trooper armor plates; black hips.
Accessories
Includes a red plastic kama (waist cape), a red plastic rangefinder/visor attached to the helmet, and a one-shoulder cloth pauldron in tan/sand color. Typically armed with dual DC-17 blaster pistols (not pictured).
Color Scheme
Primary white and dark red with sand blue accents and tan cloth details.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing for the era; features detailed armor gaps, utility pouches on the chest, and precise leg printing on the shins.
Variants
This specific printing is unique to sw0377. It is often compared to the ARC Trooper Captain (Red) from the same era but features distinct sand blue chest printing.
Condition Notes
Prone to fraying on the cloth pauldron. The red rangefinder can easily snap at the attachment point. Dark red plastic from this era can occasionally be brittle.
Estimated Value
$35.00 - $55.00 USD used (complete); $100.00+ USD in a sealed 9488 set.
Price (New)
Originally included in set 9488 which retailed for $12.99 USD in 2012.
Compatible Sets
Set 9488: Elite Clone Trooper & Commando Droid Battle Pack.
Character Background
Inspired by the Advance Recon Commandos (ARC Troopers) featured in the ‘Star Wars: The Clone Wars’ TV series, specifically the defense of Kamino arc.
Design Notes
Uses the 2008-2014 'animated' style Clone Trooper face; notable for the early use of multi-part armor additions like the plastic kama and cloth pauldron.
Similar Minifigures
ARC Trooper (sw0377 variant), Clone Trooper Captain (sw0492), and newer 2023-style Phase 2 ARC Troopers like Fives.
Collectibility
Extremely high for Star Wars army builders; Phase 1 ARCs are becoming increasingly nostalgic for collectors who grew up with the show.
History
Part of the final waves of 'stylized eyes' Clone Wars figures before LEGO transitioned back to realistic facial prints for the Star Wars line.
Interesting Facts
Though unofficially named Hammer or Havoc by fans based on the Rancor Battalion, LEGO officially marketed the figure simply as an 'ARC Trooper'.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a wall-mounted minifigure case alongside ARF Troopers and Commando Droids from the same battle pack.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'purist' MOCs; the pauldron and kama are frequently used to upgrade standard clone troopers into officers.
Overall Assessment
An iconic piece of the Clone Wars era LEGO line. It remains one of the most uniquely detailed 'Battle Pack' figures ever produced, making it a staple for any serious Star Wars collection.
