Year Released
2015. This figure debuted in September 2015 as part of the 'Force Friday' event for the upcoming movie The Force Awakens, marking a significant redesign of the classic Stormtrooper aesthetic to fit the Sequel Trilogy style.
Rarity
Common to Uncommon. While mass-produced in several sets between 2015 and 2017, the specific 'pointed mouth' variant was later replaced by a slightly updated print, making the early versions desirable for army building.
Head
Features a white First Order Stormtrooper helmet with a pointed black mouth grille and narrow visors. Beneath the helmet is a 'standard angry clone face' (flesh tone with scowling expression), which was the standard head for troopers of this era before the transition to varied skin tones.
Torso
White torso with First Order armor plating print. Features a detailed utility belt, pectoral plates, and a subtle light gray shaded area to represent the chest contour. The back includes the thermal detonator and backplate printing. Arms are white with black hands.
Legs
White legs with black hip piece. The printing includes knee pad details and specialized First Order boot segment lines. The print is crisp but limited to the front of the legs.
Accessories
This figure typically includes a F-11D blaster rifle or a SE-44C blaster pistol. The example in the image is missing its accessories.
Color Scheme
High-contrast White and Black with Light Bluish Gray shading. This represents the sleek, modern aesthetic of the First Order compared to the more utilitarian Imperial era.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing. The helmet print is particularly complex with multiple layers of black and gray. The torso print aligns with the hip piece to complete the utility belt look.
Variants
There are several variants: sw0905 (with updated 'rounded' mouth print), versions with Pauldrons (sw0668), and heavy artillery versions with vests (sw0671). The sw0667 shown is the standard grunt.
Condition Notes
Prone to 'yellowing' if exposed to UV light due to the white plastic. Common wear points include the neck of the torso (cracking) and the printing on the helmet visor rubbing off. The example in the image shows slight dust build-up and a few minor scuffs on the legs.
Estimated Value
Used: $3.00 - $5.00 USD. New: $7.00 - $10.00 USD. Value remains stable due to high demand for army building.
Price (New)
Originally available in sets ranging from $12.99 (Battle Packs) to $149.99 (Millennium Falcon). The most efficient way to acquire them was the 75132 First Order Battle Pack ($12.99).
Compatible Sets
75103 First Order Transporter, 75101 First Order Special Forces TIE Fighter, 75132 First Order Battle Pack, 75105 Millennium Falcon, and 75197 First Order Specialists Battle Pack.
Character Background
Soldiers of the First Order, abducted at birth and trained through simulation and indoctrination. They are the successor to the Galactic Empire's Stormtroopers, appearing primarily in Episodes VII, VIII, and IX.
Design Notes
The helmet is a single-mold piece, unlike later 2019 Stormtroopers which used dual-molding. This era of design focused on capturing the 'organic' curves of the Michael Kaplan-designed costumes from the films.
Similar Minifigures
Imperial Stormtrooper (sw0585), First Order Flametrooper (sw0666), First Order Snowtrooper (sw0657), and First Order Officer (sw0670).
Collectibility
High for 'Army Builders' who seek to create large dioramas. Moderate for individual collectors as it is a base-level grunt. Value is expected to remain stable as long as Sequel Trilogy content is produced.
History
This design represented the first major overhaul of the Stormtrooper look in LEGO Star Wars history since 1999, coinciding with the first new Star Wars film in a decade.
Interesting Facts
The 'Pointed Mouth' vs 'Rounded Mouth' print is a major point of contention for collectors; the pointed version (shown) is considered more accurate to the Episode VII costume, while the rounded version appeared later.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in ranks or squads of 4 or more. They look excellent against dark gray (Imperial/First Order interior) backgrounds or on a Jakku-themed sand baseplate.
Modification Potential
Excellent for purist customs. The helmet and torso are often used to create custom First Order Sergeants or specialists by adding colored cloth pauldrons from third-party sellers.
Overall Assessment
A solid, iconic figure of the modern era. While common, its clean design and importance to the Sequel Trilogy make it a staple for any Star Wars collector. Rating: 7/10.
