Character Background
Sergeant Hunter is the leader of Clone Force 99. He has enhanced tracking abilities and a rugged, Rambo-inspired aesthetic. He first appeared in Season 7 of The Clone Wars.
Design Notes
Features a unique helmet mold specifically designed to replicate the Phase II experimental commando armor seen in the show, rather than the standard Phase II trooper mold.
Similar Minifigures
Other members of Clone Force 99: Wrecker (sw1155), Tech (sw1154), Echo (sw1152), and Crosshair (sw1151).
Collectibility
High. As the leader of a popular specialized squad and exclusive to one retired set, he is essential for Star Wars completionists.
History
Represents a transition in LEGO Star Wars design toward high-detail, series-accurate specialized molds for named characters rather than generic troop builders.
Interesting Facts
The facial tattoo on the minifigure is slightly simplified compared to the show, but it is one of the few instances of 'face paint' being permanently printed on a clone face.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the rest of the Bad Batch on a custom gray/orange hangar plate or inside the 75314 Shuttle. Use a clear stand to show off the side leg printing.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'Season 2' or 'Season 3' customs using different colored armor plates or adding a desert-colored pauldron.
Overall Assessment
A standout figure from the modern Star Wars era. The level of detail across all limbs and the unique helmet mold make it a high-quality collectible with strong investment potential.
