Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
Released in 2014, appearing in the 75035 Kashyyyk Troopers Battle Pack and the 75044 Droid Tri-Fighter.
Rarity
Uncommon. While part of a Battle Pack, this specific variant with the detailed camo printing is highly sought after by army builders.
Head
A solid black head piece, consistent with many LEGO Star Wars helmeted figures of that era, used to prevent features from showing through the helmet gaps.
Torso
Sand green base with intricate camouflage pattern, 41st Elite Corps markings, and utility pouch details on both front and back. Features dark green arms and black hands.
Legs
Dark brown legs with sand green hip piece. Printed with camouflage knee plates and armor detailing on the front.
Accessories
Originally included a long black blaster or a stud shooter (depending on the set). The distinctive feature is the unique Scout Trooper helmet mold in sand green.
Color Scheme
A combination of Sand Green, Dark Brown, and Olive Green camouflage, designed for forest and jungle environments.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front/back) and legs. The camouflage pattern is non-symmetrical, increasing the realism of the design compared to older versions.
Variants
This is the 2014 detailed version. Other variants include the 2005 original (sw0131) and the 2019 updated version (sw1003) which features lighter coloring and more refined visor printing.
Condition Notes
Check for torso cracks under the arms and fading on the sand green plastic. The Scout Trooper helmet visor printing can sometimes be misaligned or prone to scratching.

Character Background
Members of the 41st Elite Corps under Commander Gree, these specialized scouts served on Kashyyyk during the droid invasion of the Wookiee homeworld as seen in Revenge of the Sith.
Design Notes
This figure marked a significant leap in detail for 'army builder' clones, moving away from simple color blocks to full-body camouflage patterns.
Similar Minifigures
41st Kashyyyk Clone Trooper (sw0519), Scout Trooper (sw0505), and Kashyyyk Clone Scout (sw1003).
Collectibility
High. Because fans often want to build large-scale Kashyyyk dioramas, there is a consistent demand for multiple quantities of this specific figure.
History
First introduced in a simplified form in 2005 using the old megaphone blasters, this 2014 version refined the camouflage to match modern LEGO Star Wars aesthetic standards.
Interesting Facts
Despite being called a Scout Trooper, this figure's helmet shape is more accurately a 'BARC Speeder' helmet, though LEGO uses the Scout nomenclature in official catalogs.
Display Suggestions
Displays best in jungle-themed dioramas or on a clear stand to mimic the agility of a scout. Pairs perfectly with the LEGO 75261 Clone Scout Walker.
Modification Potential
Excellent for forest-themed MOCs; parts are frequently used by customizers to create realistic camouflage military figures.
Overall Assessment
An essential figure for any Prequel Trilogy collector. It offers great detail for its price point and remains one of the best examples of camouflaged printing in LEGO history.
