Year Released
2021, debuting in set 75314 The Bad Batch Attack Shuttle.
Rarity
Uncommon to Rare. This specific torso and leg combination is exclusive to a single, retired set that was priced at a mid-to-high tier.
Head
Missing in image. The official figure features a Light Nougat skin tone with heavy scarring, a printed computer interface/headgear on the right side of the head, and white eyes with dark circles.
Torso
Light Bluish Gray with detailed armor printing. The front features white chest plating, a tool belt with pouches, and Aurebesh lettering. The arms are Dark Bluish Gray, and the right arm is notable for representing the mechanical scomp link arm.
Legs
Light Bluish Gray legs with printing. Design includes black kneepads, utility pockets, and detailed straps to match the tactical gear of the Bad Batch team.
Accessories
Missing in image. Usually includes a black neck bracket supporting a backpack (Quiver piece 25526 used as tech input), a gray 'candle' piece for the scomp link, and two handheld pistols.
Color Scheme
A tactical palette of Light Bluish Gray, Dark Bluish Gray, and White, with Black and subtle Sand Blue accents for the utility components.
Printing Details
High-fidelity pad printing. Features '75' (his original Clone unit code) in Aurebesh on the chest and wraps around to the back. Fine line work on the thermal detonator on the rear belt.
Variants
None for this specific outfit. However, this figure is a significant upgrade from the earlier fan-requested ARC Trooper versions, utilizing unique armor molds.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include 'arm cracks' on the sides of the torso and friction loss in the hips. Current image shows the figure is missing its head, helmet, and left-hand accessory.
Estimated Value
Current market value for a complete figure is $25-$35 USD. In its current 'headless' state, the value is approximately $12-$15 USD based on the torso and legs.
Price (New)
The retail price of set 75314 was $99.99 USD. The minifigure's individual value has appreciated significantly since the set was discontinued.
Compatible Sets

Character Background
Echo was originally a ARC Trooper in the 501st Legion. After being captured by Techno Union and turned into a cyborg, he joined Force 99, a group of elite clones with genetic mutations/augmentations.
Design Notes
LEGO utilized a standard hand for the scomp link but added a gray connector. Most notable is the custom helmet mold that incorporates his cybernetic ear pieces.
Similar Minifigures
Hunter (sw1154), Tech (sw1151), Wrecker (sw1152), and Crosshair (sw1155). Together they form the full squad from the animated series.
Collectibility
High. Since the Bad Batch series concluded on Disney+, demand for the original squad in their Season 1 armor has remained very high among LEGO Star Wars completionists.
History
Follows a long line of specialized Clone Troopers. Echo was a fan favorite for nearly a decade before receiving an official 'Clone Force 99' version in 2021.
Interesting Facts
The Aurebesh on his chest does not translate to 'Echo' but rather stylized numbering consistent with his designation CT-1409.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed alongside the rest of the Bad Batch crew on a custom baseplate resembling the Kamino rainy platforms or the interior of the Havoc Marauder.
Modification Potential
Excellent. Many collectors use the torso and legs for custom Cyborg or Tech-themed MOCs. The scomp link arm can be upgraded with 3rd party custom molded prosthetic arms.
Overall Assessment
The figure shown is an incomplete but authentic Echo (sw1153) from the 2021 Bad Batch set. It remains a highly desirable figure despite missing components due to the unique torso and leg printing.
