Under the command of Clone Commander Gree and Jedi General Luminara Unduli the Clone Troopers of the 41st Elite Corps (and some of the 501st Legion) are seen supporting the Wookiees in the Battle Of Kashyyyk in Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith.
The Kashyyyk Clone Trooper forms the other half of 75035 Kashyyyk Trooper Battle Pack alongside the fantastic minifigure of the 41st Elite Corps Scout Trooper.
This minifigure is unique to this set and like the 41st Elite Corps Scout Trooper has the same distinctive camouflage colouring to the front of the helmet, torso, legs and rear of the torso.
The helmet is a standard Phase 2 Clone Armour helmet in form, with camouflage printing to the front, top and side, it transitions to a full yellowish-green colour to the rear. The printing to the front is impressive. The T shaped visor is distinctly blue-green in colour with black and grey lines to emphasise the form of the helmet. In the following photo I show a comparison to the 501st Phase 2 Clone Trooper from 2013.
The head piece is the same single print as the 2013 Phase 1 Armour Clone Trooper, which is also used on the 41st Elite Corps Scout Trooper.
The Torso is based on the print that we saw in the 2013 Phase 1 Clone Trooper with details described by black and grey lines. I have commented before on how handsome a torso print I think it is. I was a little surprised to see this again, but it takes on a different appearance when depicted in camouflage yellowish-green mottling.
On the rear of the Torso the print is evolved somewhat with the depiction of a back pack in black and grey. The Torso has dark tan arms and black hands.
The legs are a yellowish-green colour with camouflage printing to the front on a dark tan base.
The legs are printed to the front in a similar manner to the 75037 BARC Trooper released in the same Winter 2014 wave. This does not include any unit insignia but has the same upper leg armour plating and knee plating described by grey and black lines. The legs are plain dark tan to the rear.
The figures are of course equipped with the new 2014 blaster: not accurate to the film, but great for playability.
A very satisfying minifigure in an accessible and affordable set. Good job Lego.

I recently bought two of this set. It's good to see more detailed clones being made by lego. CloneArmyCustoms can get expensive, and seeing this new influx of clone troopers this year has already saved me a lot of money.
