Mace Windu & 187th Legion Clone Trooper 2-Pack — Star Wars The Black Series

Overview

The Mace Windu & 187th Legion Clone Trooper 2-pack is the first release in the Clones of the Republic series, 2024. $44.99. Two figures: Mace Windu with his distinctive purple lightsaber and the 187th Legion Clone Trooper in the violet-detailed Phase II armour that marks Windu’s personal battalion. The 2-pack format puts the general and his troops together as they appear in the films — the Jedi Master who commands the 187th, and the soldier who serves under him.

This is the most complete Mace Windu release the Black Series has produced. Previous Windu figures — the 2019 Red Line release at P3-82, the TPM 50th Anniversary version — covered individual configurations. The Clones of the Republic version is Windu in his Clone Wars command configuration, paired specifically with the trooper type he leads into battle.

Mace Windu

Mace Windu is the Jedi Council’s most formidable warrior — the practitioner of Vaapad, Form VII lightsaber combat, the style that edges closest to the dark side and requires its user to find strength in their own darkness without being consumed by it. Only Windu mastered it fully. The purple lightsaber, unique in the Order, is the visible marker of someone who occupies a position no other Jedi chose to occupy.

His role in the Clone Wars was consistently at the sharp end — commanding ground forces, leading assaults that other Jedi directed from a distance, and maintaining the Jedi Order’s role as military commanders despite the fundamental tension that role created with their function as peacekeepers.

The figure features Photo Real face printing and comes with his purple lightsaber. The Clones of the Republic packaging pairs him with the trooper who wears his colours, which is the right context — Windu as a commanding officer rather than as a standalone character.

The 187th Legion Clone Trooper

The 187th Legion is Mace Windu’s personal battalion, identified by the violet accents on their otherwise standard Phase II Clone Trooper armour. The same distinctive shade of purple that marks Windu’s lightsaber appears on the helmet and armour panels of every trooper under his command — a visual statement that these soldiers belong to a specific Jedi general and carry his identity into battle.

Phase II Clone Trooper armour is the upgraded design introduced midway through the Clone Wars — sleeker than the Phase I helmets from the opening of the conflict, with the distinctive rounded visor that became the template for Imperial Stormtrooper design after Order 66. The 187th trooper’s violet detailing is specific enough that the figure is immediately identifiable as Windu’s battalion rather than a generic Clone.

The trooper comes with a blaster rifle and a pistol. The articulation is the current Phase 4 standard for Clone Trooper figures.

The Clones of the Republic Series

This 2-pack is the opening release in the Clones of the Republic series — Hasbro’s dedicated format for pairing Jedi generals with their specific clone battalions. The format makes collecting sense: the relationship between a Jedi commander and their troops is central to the Clone Wars, and pairing them in a single purchase covers both sides of that relationship at once.

The 187th pairing is an obvious starting point. Mace Windu is one of the most significant Jedi in the prequel era, and the 187th Legion’s violet-accented armour makes them one of the most visually distinctive clone units. Together they make a strong opening statement for the sub-line.

Mace Windu in the Black Series — All Versions

The Black Series has covered Windu across several configurations:

Mace Windu (2019) — The Red Line Phase 3 release. The foundational Black Series Windu.

Mace Windu (TPM, 50th Anniversary) — Windu in his Phantom Menace configuration, from the 50th Anniversary Best Buy exclusive wave.

Mace Windu (Clone Wars Tartakovsky, 50th Anniversary) — The stylised Genndy Tartakovsky animated series version.

Mace Windu & 187th Legion Clone Trooper (2024) — This release. Windu in his Clone Wars command configuration with his battalion trooper.

For display purposes the 2024 Clones of the Republic version is the current production standard and the most complete Windu release — Photo Real face printing, the paired 187th trooper, and the specific Clone Wars command context.

Display

The natural display is the Clone Wars battlefield — Windu and his 187th Legion troopers. The single Clone Trooper in this 2-pack is a starting point; the separately available 187th Battalion trooper allows you to build out the formation. Three or four 187th troopers alongside Windu creates a compelling Clone Wars command display.

The 2-pack also works well alongside other Jedi/clone pairings if Hasbro continues the Clones of the Republic series — the format is well-suited to building a complete Clone Wars commanders shelf.

Secondary Market

$44.99 at launch. The 2-pack format at this price point is fair value for two fully articulated figures. Secondary market pricing reflects the 2-pack format — typically moderate given the wide retail availability.

Our Verdict

The Mace Windu & 187th Legion Clone Trooper 2-pack is the definitive Mace Windu release in the Black Series. The Clone Wars command configuration, paired with the specific trooper who wears his colours, is the right way to present the character. For anyone who wants Mace Windu on a Clone Wars display shelf, this is the version to get.
