Clone Trooper (332nd) — Star Wars The Black Series #TCW 03
The Black Series 332nd Clone Trooper — Phase 4 Clone Wars Collection #03, 2020. Ahsoka's orange-marked clone troopers of the Siege of Mandalore with blaster rifle. Walmart exclusive. The TCW Collection's most distinctive army builder.
Overview
The 332nd Clone Trooper at #TCW 03 is the TCW Collection’s most visually distinctive army builder — the orange-marked clone troopers who served under Ahsoka Tano during the Siege of Mandalore, their helmets painted with the Togruta markings of their commander in an act of loyalty that is one of The Clone Wars’ most affecting details. Blaster rifle. 17 joints. Walmart exclusive. $24.99. 2020.
The Orange Markings and Their Meaning
The 332nd Company’s specific visual identity — the orange face-paint on their helmets, mimicking Ahsoka’s Togruta facial markings — was their choice. When Ahsoka rejoined the Grand Army for the Siege of Mandalore, the clones of the 332nd painted their helmets to honour her command. It is one of the Clone Wars series’ most quietly powerful moments: soldiers who were made to be identical choosing to mark themselves with their commander’s identity.
The figure at #TCW 03 carries those markings in Phase 4 plastic. The orange-on-white paint configuration is immediately recognisable to anyone who watched the Siege of Mandalore arc, and it communicates the specific relationship between Ahsoka and her troops more directly than any amount of display text.
Army Building Ahsoka’s Company
The 332nd Clone Trooper is the army builder you display alongside Ahsoka Tano (#TCW 02) — the orange-marked formation of her personal command, the troopers who painted their helmets for her. Multiple 332nd figures alongside Ahsoka create the Siege of Mandalore context: the Padawan who left and came back, and the soldiers who marked themselves in her honour.
We’d recommend at least three. The formation effect — multiple helmets in the same orange-marked pattern — communicates the company as a unit rather than as individual purchases.
Walmart Exclusive Context
The 332nd Clone Trooper’s Walmart exclusive status, alongside the other exclusives in the TCW Collection’s opening wave, means Walmart sourcing is the primary route. Secondary market is the main option now, and the army builder status means the price reflects collector demand for multiples.
The Siege of Mandalore Connection
The Siege of Mandalore is The Clone Wars series’ finale — the last major arc, set concurrently with Revenge of the Sith, ending with Order 66 and Ahsoka’s escape. The 332nd Company’s orange markings tie the TCW 03 army builder directly to that arc. Displaying Ahsoka (#TCW 02) and multiple 332nd Troopers (#TCW 03) creates the specific command structure of the Clone Wars’ final battle.

Our Verdict
The 332nd Clone Trooper at #TCW 03 is the TCW Collection’s most emotionally resonant army builder — the soldiers who painted their helmets for Ahsoka, in Phase 4 plastic, ready for the Siege of Mandalore display. Buy three alongside Ahsoka at #TCW 02. The formation tells the story without any additional context.
Why the 332nd Are the TCW Collection’s Best Army Builder
We think the 332nd Clone Trooper is the best army builder in the entire TCW Collection, and the argument is straightforward: the orange markings create visual interest at quantity that the standard white Kamino clone doesn’t have. A formation of Kamino clones is visually uniform. A formation of 332nd troopers is visually uniform in a way that communicates something specific — these are the soldiers who painted their helmets for Ahsoka, and every copy in the formation is making the same statement.
Three or four 332nd troopers alongside Ahsoka (#TCW 02) create the specific command relationship that the Siege of Mandalore arc built over its episodes: the Padawan who came back, and the soldiers who showed her she had their loyalty before a word was spoken. The display communicates that relationship without any additional context.
The 332nd’s Place in Clone Wars History
The Siege of Mandalore arc is widely considered The Clone Wars’ finest achievement — the culmination of seven seasons of character development, the concurrent narrative with Revenge of the Sith, the Ahsoka and Rex storyline that extended Order 66 into something even more personal than the film had room to convey. The 332nd Clone Trooper is the army builder of that arc’s Republic side. For collectors who want the Siege of Mandalore display, this is the figure they buy in multiples.
The 332nd Clone Trooper is one of Phase 4’s most specifically meaningful army builders — the soldiers who painted their helmets for Ahsoka, in the orange that matches her Togruta markings, making a statement of loyalty visible across a formation. That detail, multiplied across three or four copies in the display, is what makes this the TCW Collection’s best army builder choice.
The orange paint on the 332nd helmet is the Clone Wars series’ most quietly moving detail — individualisation in a species bred for uniformity, loyalty expressed through the specific act of painting your helmet to match your commander’s face. The figure carries that detail in Phase 4 plastic. The army builder that means more the more of them you have in the display.
The orange helmets. The loyalty made visible. The army builder that tells a story in formation. Buy three alongside Ahsoka and the Siege of Mandalore display begins to communicate itself without any additional context.
The 332nd Company painted their helmets for Ahsoka. That detail — the specific, chosen act of individualisation by clones who were made identical — is what makes this army builder special. The orange is loyalty made visible. Three or four copies in the display, and the loyalty reads as formation.
Orange helmets, loyalty made visible, the army builder the Siege display demands.
The orange. The formation. The loyalty. Buy the 332nd.
Three 332nd Troopers, one Ahsoka Tano, the Siege of Mandalore’s Republic side assembled. That display is worth the sourcing effort.
The 332nd Clone Trooper is not just the TCW Collection’s best army builder — it is the army builder that makes the Ahsoka display work. Without the formation of orange-marked helmets behind her, Ahsoka at #TCW 02 is a great figure without a context. With three 332nd troopers flanking her, she is the commander of the Siege of Mandalore, exactly as the series staged her.
