The 2022 Walgreens-exclusive Clone Trooper (212th Battalion) brings one of the most iconic Republic units into the Phase IV Galaxy Collection with a clean, screen-accurate deco pass and the modern Phase II Clone body. The 212th Battalion — led by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Commander Cody — is one of the most recognizable Clone units in Revenge of the Sith, distinguished by its bright orange markings and its role in the Utapau campaign.
This figure arrived during a transitional moment in the Black Series: the Phase IV packaging system was fully established, Walgreens exclusives were becoming increasingly rare, and Hasbro was leaning heavily into Clone repaints built on the excellent 2020 Phase II body. The 212th Trooper quickly became one of the most sought-after Walgreens releases due to its battalion importance, its compatibility with Cody, and its clean, realistic-style deco.
Unlike the 2020 Walmart-exclusive Clone Wars figures, this release is firmly rooted in the Revenge of the Sith aesthetic — matte white armor, crisp orange striping, and minimal weathering. It is one of the most display-critical clones for collectors building out Utapau, Order 66, or Obi-Wan-centric scenes.
Technical Details & Sculpt
Overall Sculpt & Proportions
The figure uses the modern 2020 Phase II Clone Trooper body, known for:
- improved proportions
- natural stance
- unobtrusive articulation
- crisp armor segmentation
The armor plates sit close to the body, avoiding the bulkiness of earlier Clone sculpts. The helmet is sharply defined, with accurate cheek vents, a narrow visor, and clean dome curvature.
The silhouette is clean, disciplined, and unmistakably 212th.
Helmet Sculpt
The helmet is one of the strongest elements of the figure:
- narrow, accurate T-visor
- crisp aerators
- sharply defined cheek vents
- bright orange striping with tight edges
The deco is screen-accurate to Revenge of the Sith, avoiding the stylized look of the animated Clone Wars variants.
Body & Armor
The armor features:
- layered plating
- reinforced gauntlets
- sculpted belt pouches
- clean panel lines
- subtle matte finish
The orange markings are applied across the chest, shoulders, and helmet, matching the battalion’s Utapau deployment scheme.
Articulation
The articulation system supports both action poses and formation stances. The figure includes:
- ball-jointed head
- hinged neck base
- butterfly shoulders
- swivel-hinge elbows
- swivel wrists
- torso ball joint
- ball-jointed hips
- thigh swivels
- double-jointed knees
- rocker ankles
The butterfly shoulders allow for natural rifle-holding poses, while the torso joint provides expressive lean and twist.
Paint & Deco
The deco work is clean and restrained:
- bright orange battalion markings
- matte white armor
- black undersuit contrast
- minimal weathering (ROTS-accurate)
The overall palette reflects the crisp, realistic look of the 212th in Revenge of the Sith.
Accessories & Equipment
DC‑15A Rifle
Long-range infantry rifle with reinforced barrel and crisp sculpting.

Display & Photography Notes
The 212th excels in warm, high-contrast lighting. Orange rim light enhances the battalion markings, while the DC‑15A rifle supports dynamic firing poses. For dioramas, the figure fits naturally into Utapau sinkhole platforms, Order 66 scenes, or Obi-Wan-led formations.
Ideal for:
- Utapau assault displays
- 212th battalion formations
- Order 66 scenes
- Phase II Clone lineups
