Rarity
Common. This figure was widely available in multiple City Demolition sets during 2015, making it easily accessible for most collectors.
Head
Standard yellow minifigure head with orange tinted safety goggles, a smirk, and eyebrows. The goggles are the distinguishing feature to comply with construction safety themes.
Torso
Orange safety vest over a dark gray shirt. Features silver reflective stripes and a pocket with a radio printed on the back. Dark gray arms and yellow hands.
Legs
Dark gray legs with utility pocket printing and yellow knee pads. These legs are highly detailed for a City theme figure of that era.
Accessories
Includes a dual-mold/assembly jackhammer (Flat Silver) and a red construction hard hat with integrated black ear protection/earmuffs.
Color Scheme
A high-visibility palette of Bright Orange, Dark Stone Grey (Dark Gray), and Red, accented by yellow skin tones and silver reflective prints.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso front and back. The legs feature crisp pocket and knee pad prints, which was an upgrade from the blank legs of older City workers.
Variants
Variations of this worker exist with different head prints (beards, different glasses) but use the same torso and leg assembly. This specific version is the standard Goggled Demolition worker.
Condition Notes
Prone to silver paint wear on the torso stripes if played with heavily. The ear protection on the helmet can show stress marks if removed and reattached frequently.
Estimated Value
Used: $2.00 - $3.50. New/Unassembled: $4.00 - $6.00. This is an affordable entry-level collectible.
Price (New)
Original sets ranged from $12.99 (Starter Set) to $89.99 (Demolition Site). Individually, the figure value was roughly $3.00 at launch.
Compatible Sets
60072 Demolition Starter Set, 60076 Demolition Site, and 60073 Service Truck.
Character Background
A generic City worker skilled in demolition and heavy machinery operation. These characters represent the 'everyday heroes' that populate the LEGO City universe.
Design Notes
Matches the cohesive 2015 Demolition sub-theme aesthetic. The use of dark gray instead of the classic blue for construction workers reflects a more modern industrial look.
Similar Minifigures
cty0542 Demolition Worker with beard, cty0537 Demolition Worker Female, and various 'Great Vehicles' construction workers.
Collectibility
Low to moderate. While common, they are highly desired by MOC (My Own Creation) builders for filling out construction-site dioramas.
History
Part of the 2015 wave that refreshed the City Construction line. This era marked a shift toward more detailed 'utility' printing on legs for standard figures.
Interesting Facts
The jackhammer accessory consists of a specialized body piece that hasn't changed design significantly in years, proving its effective original design.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a city construction site MOC or on a gray baseplate with 'broken' masonry bricks (1x1 round plates) to simulate work.
Modification Potential
Excellent. The dark gray utility legs and orange vest are highly versatile for custom mechanics, industrial workers, or explorers.
Overall Assessment
A solid, well-detailed utility figure. While not a high-value investment, it is a perfect example of mid-2010s LEGO City quality and realism.
