Figure ID
sw0377
Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
2012 (Released in set 9488 Elite Clone Trooper & Commando Droid Battle Pack)
Rarity
Uncommon to Rare. While it was in a low-priced battle pack, the high demand for Republic troopers and the specific ARC Trooper mold keeps its value high and availability low on the secondary market.
Head
Standard 'Clone Wars' style head with stylized large eyes and a determined expression. It features a light flesh tone. It is covered by a Phase II ARC Trooper helmet with dark red markings and a rangefinder hole.
Torso
White torso with ARC Trooper armor printing. Includes Sand Blue chest plate, dark red 'rank' dots on the left chest, and a printed ammo pouch. Back is also printed with thermal detonator and armor detailing. Arms are white with white hands.
Legs
White legs with extensive dark red and light bluish gray printing. Features knee protector details and toe printing. Topped with a dark gray/black cloth kama (waist cape) piece.
Accessories
Red rangefinder attached to the helmet, dark red cloth pauldron (shoulder cape), two DC-17 hand blasters, and a black cloth kama waist piece. This figure features a specialized 'breather' attachment on the helmet front.
Color Scheme
Primary colors are White, Dark Red, and Sand Blue. Accents include Dark Bluish Gray and Black for the equipment and cloth elements.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the helmet, torso (front/back), and legs (front). The alignment on the helmet markings is a common focal point for collectors. Features 'battle-worn' scuffs in the print design.
Variants
This is the standard sw0377 version. A similar ARC trooper (Captain Rex or Elite Clone) uses similar molds but with blue markings (sw0314).
Condition Notes
Watch for fraying on the cloth pauldron and kama edges. The red rangefinder is small and easily lost. Check for 'helmet holes' cracking or yellowing of the white plastic if exposed to UV.
Estimated Value
Used Complete: $30 - $45 USD. New/Mint: $50 - $65 USD. Parts only: Torso ~$10, Helmet ~$15.
Price (New)
Originally available in set 9488 for $12.99 USD retail, which included four minifigures.
Compatible Sets

Character Background
Based on specialized Advanced Recon Commandos from the Grand Army of the Republic. This specific color scheme is often associated with ARC Trooper Hammer or members of the Rancor Battalion seen in the Kamino defense arc.
Design Notes
Significant for introducing the unique Phase II ARC helmet mold with the integrated 'breather' apparatus and the use of dual cloth elements (pauldron and kama).
Similar Minifigures
sw0314 Captain Rex (Phase 1 ARC), sw0378 ARF Trooper, sw0605 Clone Airborne Trooper.
Collectibility
High. Army builders and Clone Wars fans consider this a staple of the 'Golden Era' of battle packs. Values have trended upward steadily over the last 5 years.
History
Represents the transition period in LEGO Star Wars design where figures moved from simple prints to highly detailed armor with multiple cloth and plastic attachments.
Interesting Facts
Though commonly called ARC Trooper Hammer by fans due to the red markings, LEGO officially titled the set 'Elite Clone Trooper'. It is one of the few figures to feature a unique molded chin piece for the helmet.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside other Rancor Battalion members like ARC Trooper Blitz or Colt (if using customs) or against Commando Droids on a Kamino-themed MOC base.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'purist' customs. The helmet and cloth parts are frequently swapped onto different clone torsos to create custom commanders.
Overall Assessment
A top-tier 'army builder' figure. Despite its age, the printing and accessory count hold up to modern 2024 standards. Highly recommended for Star Wars collectors.
