LEGO Star Wars Minifigures: ARF Trooper


The Advanced Recon Force (ARF) Trooper is exclusive to set 7913, Clone Trooper Battle Pack. This is the first time an ARF trooper has been available in the LEGO universe.

Minifigure Parts and Accessories
The ARF trooper is made up of four parts: a helmet, head, torso, and leg assembly.

The helmet is a new piece representing the distinctive design worn by the Advanced Recon Force. There is a visor as part of the design, but it is part of one single mold.

The head is a flesh clone trooper head, common to many other clones before it.

The torso appears to be a standard clone trooper torso, with print on the back.

The hips are black and the legs are white with no visible print.

The accessories for this set are varied and come with both long and short blasters.

Comparing the figures to the reference photo on the right would suggest that LEGO captured many of the details quite well.

Army Building Potential
The ABP for this figure is potentially high. The storm and clone troopers always seem to be synonymous with 'armies'.

Big Draw
The big draw will be the figure itself. Purists rejoice in a new helmet design to add further diversity to you Star Wars clone armies.
