Star Wars Black Series Clone Trooper — Every Variant and Army Builder Guide

The Clone Trooper is the Black Series’ most comprehensively army-built character type — a figure range that spans the line’s full production history and covers the Republic’s military across Phase I and Phase II armour, unit-specific markings, and the most emotionally charged clone variant in the line. No other anonymous soldier type has received this depth of coverage, and the range rewards both the collector who wants one clean army builder and the collector who wants to build the specific visual of a Clone Wars battle.

Clone Troopers in Star Wars

Clone troopers are human — genetically identical soldiers grown from the DNA of Jango Fett on Kamino, deployed as the Republic’s military in a war that was designed from both sides to produce a specific outcome. The Separatist army they fight was funded by the same interests that funded the creation of the clone army, and the war itself was manufactured to give Darth Sidious the crisis he needed to accumulate emergency powers. The clones are the instrument of someone else’s plan, fighting an enemy that serves the same master, and most of them will never know it.

What The Clone Wars animated series does with this material is the franchise’s most sustained examination of soldier identity. The individual clones — Rex, Fives, Echo, Cody, Wolffe, the Bad Batch — are not interchangeable, and the series uses that individuality to make Order 66’s implications personal rather than statistical. When Fives discovers the inhibitor chip and tries to expose it, his death is meaningful because the audience knows him. When Rex’s chip is removed before Order 66, his survival means something. When the 332nd Company paints Ahsoka’s face markings on their helmets, it’s an act of loyalty that the Order 66 command then uses against the person being honoured.

The armour design is the visual thread that connects Republic to Empire. Phase I is rounder, more organic in its lines, built for the Clone Wars’ specific environment. Phase II is more angular, more industrial, the direct precursor to the Stormtrooper armour that follows it. The transition from Phase I to Phase II across the war’s timeline is visible in the figures, and building both communicates that visual evolution on the shelf.

Phase I Army Building

Phase I covers the early Clone Wars — Attack of the Clones through the first seasons of The Clone Wars animated series. The white armour with rank-specific colour markings defines the aesthetic.

The Phase I Clone Trooper (AOTC 02) from the Galaxy Collection is the primary army builder recommendation — standard mainline, modern production quality, the accessible foundation for a Phase I display. The 2024 update (AOTC 05) is the most recent production. Both are standard white Phase I without unit markings, which makes them versatile across multiple Clone Wars contexts.

The Blue Wave Clone Trooper Sergeant and Clone Trooper Captain add rank marking variety — green for Sergeant, red for Captain — at older production quality that remains competitive for army building given the helmet obscures the face printing entirely. Mixing rank markings with standard white troopers creates the visual hierarchy of a clone unit.

The Clone Trooper 4-Pack Amazon exclusive from 2015 is the line’s original multi-pack — four Phase I troopers at a single purchase, the army builder format before the Galaxy Collection era normalised it.

Phase II Army Building

Phase II covers the later Clone Wars through Revenge of the Sith — the upgraded armour that the 501st and other elite units wore at the war’s end and that transitions directly into Imperial Stormtrooper design.

The Phase II Clone Trooper (CW 14) from the Clone Wars sub-line mainline is the standard Phase II army builder — white armour, modern production quality, the correct figure for the Order 66 display, the Siege of Mandalore context, and any late-Clone Wars scenario.

The 332nd Clone Trooper

The 332nd Clone Trooper is the line’s most emotionally significant clone variant — Phase II armour with Ahsoka Tano’s facial marking patterns painted across the helmet. The 332nd Company painted their helmets as a tribute when Ahsoka rejoined the war effort for the Siege of Mandalore, and the orange patterns immediately communicate both their unit identity and their specific relationship with the commander they’re honouring.

The Walmart exclusive status is the primary sourcing challenge. The 332nd is essential for the Siege of Mandalore display — the specific Order 66 visual of these particular clones turning on Ahsoka while wearing her face is one of the most affecting moments in the Clone Wars sub-line’s display potential. Multiple 332nd troopers alongside Clone Commander Jesse and Ahsoka Tano (Clone Wars) creates the scene.

The Battalion Variants

The 212th Battalion (Walgreens exclusive) covers Obi-Wan Kenobi’s orange-marked unit — the 212th Attack Battalion that fought at Utapau, Geonosis, and across the Clone Wars’ major campaigns. The 187th Battalion covers Mace Windu’s purple-marked legion. Both are Walgreens exclusives that require specific retail channel sourcing.

For a multi-battalion display, mixing standard white with 212th orange and 187th purple alongside named commanders creates the visual diversity of the Republic’s military across multiple fronts.

Army Building Strategy

For a focused display: the Phase I Galaxy Collection standard for AotC-era battles, the Phase II mainline for late-war and Order 66 contexts, the 332nd for Siege of Mandalore specifically. For maximum visual variety: add Blue Wave rank variants for Phase I diversity and the battalion exclusives for unit-specific colour.

The clone army’s most powerful display effect comes from depth of field — troopers arranged in formation behind named characters, communicating the scale of a military that the Clone Wars deployed across the galaxy. Quantity matters here more than for almost any other figure type.
