The 2020 Star Wars The Black Series Clone Trooper (Kamino) is one of the foundational figures of the Phase IV Galaxy Collection launch wave — a clean, atmospheric repaint of the newly engineered Phase II Clone body that set the standard for modern Clone Wars releases. As the first wave of the new packaging era, this figure helped define the visual identity of Phase IV: angled side art, color-coded media stripes, and a sculpt-first approach to articulation and silhouette.
Kamino Security Troopers occupy a unique place in the Clone Wars visual language. Unlike front-line battalions with bold color flashes and battle-worn armor, Kamino’s security forces are defined by restraint: crisp white plating, muted grey markings, and a clinical aesthetic that mirrors the sterile cloning facilities they protect. Their presence in The Clone Wars Season 6 — patrolling the rain-lashed platforms and sterile interiors of Tipoca City — gives them a distinctive identity within the Grand Army of the Republic.
This figure captures that identity with precision. Built on the 2020 Phase II Clone body, it features improved proportions, unobtrusive articulation, and a helmet sculpt that finally corrected the long-standing issues of the earlier Black Series clones. The result is a release that feels both essential and atmospheric — a troop-builder that anchors any Kamino-themed display.
Technical Details & Sculpt
Overall Sculpt & Proportions
The 2020 Phase II Clone body is a major leap forward from the original 2014 sculpt. The proportions are more screen-accurate, the stance is natural, and the articulation is integrated cleanly into the armor. The chest plate sits closer to the torso, the shoulder bells float more naturally, and the thigh armor avoids the bulky silhouette of earlier releases.
The Kamino variant uses this improved body to full effect. The grey markings are subtle but crisp, adding visual interest without overwhelming the clean white armor. The sculpt’s panel lines, vents, and reinforced plating all read sharply under directional lighting.
Helmet Sculpt
The helmet is one of the strongest elements of the figure. The Phase II design is captured with precision:
- narrow, accurate T-visor
- crisp cheek vents
- sharply defined aerators
- clean dome curvature
The grey stripe across the dome and cheeks is applied with tight edges, reflecting the Kamino security palette seen in the series. The visor is deep and glossy, adding contrast to the otherwise muted deco.
Body & Armor
The armor features layered plating and natural curvature that reflect the Clone Trooper’s evolution from Phase I to Phase II. The belt includes sculpted pouches and a clean buckle, while the back plate features the standard life-support module. The forearms include sculpted ridges and vents, adding depth to the design.
The overall silhouette is clean, disciplined, and unmistakably Kaminoan.
Articulation
The articulation system supports both action poses and parade-ground discipline. 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 subtle lean and twist. The legs support stable stances, essential for security patrol or defensive poses.
Paint & Deco
The deco work is clean and restrained. The white armor features subtle matte variation, while the grey Kamino markings are sharply applied across the helmet, shoulders, and chest. The black undersuit provides contrast, and the visor is glossy and opaque.
The figure avoids heavy weathering, aligning with the pristine aesthetic of Kamino’s cloning facilities.
