The 2020 Star Wars The Black Series Phase I Clone Trooper introduces the updated Phase I armor sculpt into the Phase IV mural era, representing the earliest soldiers of the Grand Army of the Republic as they appear in Attack of the Clones. This release replaces the older 2014 sculpt with a cleaner, more screen‑accurate design featuring refined proportions, sharper helmet geometry, and improved articulation. As part of the AOTC mural line, the figure includes the red‑panel side artwork that connects to the rest of the 2020 Attack of the Clones assortment.
This standard release Clone Trooper includes both the DC‑15A blaster rifle and DC‑15S carbine, allowing collectors to recreate long‑range support roles or close‑quarters engagements. The figure’s white armor represents the baseline trooper before rank colors or battalion markings were introduced, making it the foundational clone for any Prequel Trilogy display. The sculpt emphasizes the Phase I helmet’s rounded dome, narrow T‑visor, and segmented chest armor that define the earliest clone trooper design.
