Standard Light Nougat male head with angry expression. It is covered by a specialized Stormtrooper helmet molded in Light Bluish Gray with unique black, white, red, and gold kintsugi-style printing.
Torso
White Stormtrooper armor base with extensive red wrapping (fabric) prints and gold 'cracked' lacquer patterns. Features black utility belt printing and plain white arms with black hands.

White hips and legs with printing that continues the red fabric wrappings and gold kintsugi cracks. Includes black knee joint and boot detailing.
Accessories
Standard black medium blaster (E-11 style).
Color Scheme
Primary colors are White and Light Bluish Gray, accented by Dark Red fabric and Metallic Gold crack repairs.
Printing Details
High-level detail featuring dual-molding/complex printing on the helmet and 360-degree thematic alignment between the torso and legs. Includes metallic gold ink.
Variants
There are three distinct Night Trooper variants (sw1304, sw1305, sw1306) which differ in their helmet color and pattern of red wrappings.
Condition Notes
Watch for alignment of the red band printing between torso and legs. Check the gold printing for scratches, as metallic inks can rub off easier than standard pigments.

Character Background
Undead or 'reanimated' Stormtroopers serving Grand Admiral Thrawn and the Great Mothers on the planet Peridea. Their armor is repaired with gold and bound in red fabric in a custom known as Kintsugi.
Design Notes
A masterclass in textural storytelling; the gold kintsugi cracks represent 'repairing with beauty,' making these some of the most visually distinct Stormtroopers ever produced.
Similar Minifigures
Enoch (sw1307), other Night Trooper variants (sw1305, sw1306), and standard 2020-style Stormtroopers (sw1097).
Collectibility
High. Army builders desire multiples of these, and the unique connection to the Ahoska series makes them a high-priority for specialized Star Wars collectors.
History
Debuted in the 2023 LEGO Star Wars wave alongside the Disney+ Ahsoka television series. This marks the first official LEGO depiction of 'Zombi-troopers'.
Interesting Facts
The 'gold crack' design is based on the real Japanese art of Kintsugi, where broken pottery is repaired with gold lacquer to celebrate its history rather than hide the damage.
Display Suggestions
Display in a group led by Captain Enoch or Grand Admiral Thrawn. They look best against dark, rocky terrain or on a Peridea-themed MOC.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'zombie' or 'post-apocalyptic' Star Wars MOCs. The parts are frequently swapped to create an army where no two troopers look identical.
Overall Assessment
9/10. An exceptional design that breaks the monotony of standard white Stormtroopers with high-quality printing and a hauntingly beautiful aesthetic.
