The 2023 Star Wars The Black Series Phase II Clone Trooper is the modern, definitive “clean white” Clone Trooper for the Phase IV Galaxy Collection — the baseline trooper that every battalion repaint, commander variant, and exclusive release builds upon. This figure represents the Grand Army of the Republic at its most iconic moment: the transition into Phase II armor during the final year of the Clone Wars and the execution of Order 66.
This release uses the excellent 2020 Phase II Clone body, but with updated deco, cleaner whites, and a standardized finish that aligns with the 2023 Galaxy Collection aesthetic. It is not a reissue of the 2020 Kamino Clone, nor a repaint of a battalion figure — this is the pure, unmarked Phase II trooper collectors have been waiting for since Phase IV began.
As a standard retail figure, this Clone Trooper is designed for troop building, diorama anchoring, and battalion-neutral display setups. It is the essential “blank slate” trooper for any Clone Wars or Revenge of the Sith shelf.
Technical Details & Sculpt
Overall Sculpt & Proportions
The figure uses the refined 2020 Phase II Clone Trooper body, known for:
- natural, realistic proportions
- clean armor segmentation
- unobtrusive articulation
- accurate Phase II silhouette
The armor plates sit close to the body, avoiding the bulkiness of earlier Clone sculpts. The chest, shoulder bells, and thigh armor all feature crisp panel lines and subtle curvature.
The silhouette is clean, disciplined, and unmistakably Phase II.
Helmet Sculpt
The helmet is one of the strongest elements of the figure:
- narrow, accurate T-visor
- crisp cheek vents
- sharply defined aerators
- clean dome curvature
- matte finish for realistic lighting response
The deco is intentionally minimal — this is the pure, unmarked Phase II helmet.
Body & Armor
The armor features:
- layered plating
- reinforced gauntlets
- sculpted belt pouches
- clean panel lines
- matte white finish
The figure avoids weathering, aligning with the “fresh deployment” look seen in early Revenge of the Sith scenes.
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 intentionally clean and minimal:
- matte white armor
- black undersuit contrast
- subtle grey accents on vents and joints
- no battalion markings
- no weathering
This is the “pure template” Phase II trooper.
