Theme

Year Released
2022 (Debuted in set 75322 Hoth AT-ST)
Rarity
Common; available in high-volume retail sets and battle packs, making them ideal for army building.
Head
Nougat skin tone with a single-sided print featuring an intense, scowling expression with dark brown eyebrows. It is topped with a tan Rebel Hoth helmet with molded-on white goggles.
Torso
Dark tan jacket with light grey and dark brown printing detailing a cold-weather tactical vest, pockets, and a rank badge. Back printing continues the vest quilted texture. White arms and white hands.
Legs
Plain white unprinted legs, representing the standard snow trousers issued to Rebel Echo Base personnel.
Accessories
Includes a black medium blaster rifle (E-11 style) and a white 1x2 tile with a printed pattern representing a keypad or binocular data display (swapped or additional accessory seen in image).
Color Scheme
Primary white and dark tan, reflecting the camouflage used for the snow-covered environment of Hoth.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso front and back. The face printing uses modern flesh-toned palette which has narrower tolerances than older yellow-era prints.
Variants
This specific facial variant (Nougat) is one of several 'generic' Hoth troopers released in 2022 to provide diversity; others include different skin tones and female facial prints.
Condition Notes
Prone to dirt marks on the white legs and minor 'scuffing' on the helmet's white goggle paint. Check for torso cracks under the arms which is a common stress point for modern plastic.
Estimated Value
$3.00 - $5.00 USD (Used); $6.00 - $8.00 USD (New/Mint). Values are low due to high supply from Battle Packs.
Price (New)
Originally included in sets ranging from $19.99 (Battle Pack) to $49.99 (Hoth AT-ST).
Compatible Sets
75322 Hoth AT-ST, 75320 Snowtrooper Battle Pack (as various Rebel reinforcements), and 75313 UCS AT-AT (complementary figures).
Character Background
These troopers are the infantry of the Rebel Alliance stationed at Echo Base on the ice planet Hoth during the opening act of The Empire Strikes Back.
Design Notes
Features the redesigned 2022 Hoth helmet mold which is more accurate to the film prop than the 'chunky' helmets used between 2007 and 2021.
Similar Minifigures
sw1184 (Female Hoth Trooper), sw0252 (Classic Hoth Rebel), and sw1186 (Rebel Trooper with different facial hair).
Collectibility
High for 'army builders' who seek to populate large-scale Hoth dioramas, though low for 'investment' as they are widely available.
History
Represents the 4th major redesign of the Hoth Rebel Trooper since the sub-theme's inception in 1999, focusing on realistic skin tones and specialized molding.
Interesting Facts
The helmet used here is a dual-molded piece in some versions, but this particular run features a painted white goggle rim on a tan base.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in groups on a white 'snow' baseplate, ideally flanking a Rebel P-Tower or inside a GR-75 transport MOC.
Modification Potential
The plain white legs are frequently swapped for printed legs from the 2016-era Hoth troopers by collectors seeking maximum detail.
Overall Assessment
A solid, highly screen-accurate representation of a classic Star Wars background character. Highly recommended for dioramas but standard for rare-figure collectors.
