While scouting (pun intended for later reference) for Star Wars Legos minifigures, I came across a separately sold ARF trooper helmet. Originally included in the Elite Clone Trooper & Commando Droid Battle Pack (set 9488) from 2012, this helmet immediately seized our attention.
The unique mold features a fin on top, larger mouth area, and a built-in visor. The design is evocative of an Imperial scout trooper/biker scout, but what sets this helmet apart is the intricate and distinctive printing.
While this version has been attributed to the Rancor Battalion, the helmet's logo and top-helmet red markings clearly depict a member of the 104th Wolfpack Battalion.
The Advanced Recon Force (ARF) trooper was primarily charged with scouting and intel gathering, often riding an animal, AT-RT, or BARC speeder on such missions. The rarity of the minifigure itself and the stellar detail work of the helmet made this a must-get for our building team.
Go Pack.
