Year Released
2014 - Released in set 75037 Battle on Saleucami during the Wave 1 'Microfighters' / 'P2 Battle Pack' era.
Rarity
Uncommon to Rare. While originally in a relatively affordable set, it was exclusive to that single set and features unique printing that hasn't been reissued.
Head
Standard 'Angry Clone' flesh-tone head (3626cpb1016) with black eyebrows and scowl, used extensively in the 2014-2018 era.
Torso
White torso with 91st Recon Corps armor printing: features a small red circular logo on the right chest, dark bluish gray straps, and a utility belt. The left arm is solid red, while the right arm is white.
Legs
White legs with 91st Recon Corps printing: features armor plating lines and a distinctive red circular logo on the right thigh. Standard black hips.
Accessories
Missing in image. Originally came with a standard black DC-15S blaster carbine. No cloth pauldrons or kamas were included in the official set.
Color Scheme
Primary white and black base with distinctive dark red (maroon) accents, specifically the solid red left arm and red corps insignia.
Printing Details
Highly detailed pad printing for the era. Features the 91st Recon logo on the helmet, torso, and thigh. This was part of the shift toward more screen-accurate Phase 2 armor detail.
Variants
This is the only version of the 91st Recon Trooper in Phase 2 armor produced by LEGO. It is often referred to as a '91st Commander' due to the red arm, though it represents a standard trooper of that specific corps.
Condition Notes
Common wear includes torso cracks (especially under the arms), loose arm joints on the red arm, and yellowing of the white plastic if exposed to UV light.
Estimated Value
Current market value for a used complete figure is approximately $35 - $45 USD. New/Mint condition can exceed $60 USD.
Price (New)
The original set (75037) retailed for $12.91 in 2014, making this figure currently worth significantly more than the entire original set's retail price.

Character Background
Members of the 91st Mobile Reconnaissance Corps, led by CC-4420 'Neyo', served under Jedi Generals Adi Gallia and Stass Allie. They are known for their reconnaissance expertise and specialized BARC speeders.
Design Notes
Significant for featuring the 'Neyo-style' specialized helmet mold, despite being a standard corps trooper. The red arm is a bold design choice that makes the figure stand out in army builds.
Similar Minifigures
sw0519 Phase 2 Airborne Clone Trooper, sw0541 Clone Trooper (Phase 2), and sw1093 187th Legion Clone Trooper.
Collectibility
High demand among 'Clone Army' builders. Its exclusivity to a single, retired set and its unique corps markings make it a staple for Star Wars collectors.
History
Followed the 2005-style Phase 2 clones. This design reflects the transition toward the highly detailed 'modern' clone aesthetic that preceded the current 2020-style hole-in-helmet molds.
Interesting Facts
Though identifying as a 91st Recon trooper, the helmet used is actually the same mold as the BARC Trooper/Commander Neyo, which is technically an aesthetic mismatch for a standard infantry grunt but highly prized by fans.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a BARC speeder or alongside other Phase 2 clones in a 'March on the Jedi Temple' or 'Saleucami' diorama.
Modification Potential
Excellent for purist customs; many fans add a dark red cloth pauldron and kama to promote this figure to a Commander Neyo custom.
Overall Assessment
A top-tier Phase 2 Clone Trooper. Its unique asymmetric color (red arm) and specialized helmet make it one of the most visually distinct troopers from the 2014 era.
