Released during the peak of the Clone Wars animated series multimedia push, bridging the gap between Episode III merchandise and the TV show.
Interesting Facts
Unlike later modern clones that feature leg printing, this 2008 variant relies purely on torso and helmet details, highlighting the simpler era of LEGO Star Wars design.
Display Suggestions

Modification Potential
Can be upgraded with purist custom black arms or custom cloth kama/pauldron pieces to simulate higher-ranking shock troopers.

An absolute must-have classic for Clone Army builders, offering great nostalgic value and solid secondary market appreciation.
