These highly trained tactical ops clone troopers accompany Darth Vader on a mission to destroy the Jedi. Vader and the troopers storm the Jedi Temple and, with crack marksmanship and coordinated team maneuvers, quickly eliminate the Jedi inside.
Points of Interest:
501st Legion Trooper is a repaint of 2005's ROTS Clone Trooper III-41. This time around, the armor is clean.
This Saga Legends figure was released in an earlier assortment using the body of the Tactical Ops Trooper.
When the Tactical Ops Trooper was orignally shown at Comic-Con 2005, it sported the Super-Articulated Clone body, but the actual figure ended up being a repainted AT-TE Tank Gunner because of the tooling available at the time. By request, fans can finally get the SA body repainted in 501st colors at long last!
