Rarity
Common - This figure (or its primary components) appeared in mass-produced LEGO City sets, though the combination of parts seen here is widely distributed across City Rescue themes.
Head
Standard yellow head with orange sunglasses, a smile with teeth showing, and reddish-brown flat-top/spiky hair. This head is common for technical and sports-based City figures.
Torso
Red Coast Guard jacket print with white and blue panels, featuring a blue Star of Life (medical/rescue) emblem on the left chest. This specific print was standard for the 2017 Coast Guard sub-theme.
Legs
Medium Azure (bright light blue) unprinted legs. These represent the standard jumpsuit trousers for the Coast Guard team during this era.
Accessories
None visible in the image. Usually, this figure would be accompanied by a life jacket (orange), walkie-talkie, or binoculars depending on the specific set.
Color Scheme
Primary colors are Red, Medium Azure, and Yellow, with white and dark blue accents in the printing to denote emergency services.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso front and back. The back typically features the 'COAST GUARD' text or emblem. No printing on the arms or legs.
Variants
There are several variants of Coast Guard personnel using this torso, including female versions with different hairpieces (e.g., cty0765) and male versions with different head/hat combinations.
Condition Notes
Prone to scratches on the plain light blue legs. The torso printing is durable, but 'neck cracks' can occur on the torso from repeated head removal. Check for fading of the orange sunglasses print.
Estimated Value
Used: $2.00 - $4.00 USD; New/Mint: $5.00 - $7.00 USD. The value is relatively low due to the high production volume of the sets it appears in.
Price (New)
Original sets ranged from $9.99 (Starter Set) to $119.99 (Coast Guard HQ) in 2017.
Compatible Sets
Set 60163 (Coast Guard Starter Set), 60165 (4x4 Response Unit), and 60167 (Coast Guard Headquarters).
Character Background
This is a generic Coast Guard responder. The 2017 wave focused on shark rescues and shipwreck recovery for the LEGO City coastline.
Design Notes
The torso utilizes the modern Star of Life symbol, which LEGO began using more frequently in the mid-2010s to give Hospital and Rescue sub-themes a more 'authentic' look.
Similar Minifigures
cty0765 (Female Coast Guard), cty0405 (2013 Coast Guard version), and various Fire/EMS minifigures from the 2016-2018 era.
Collectibility
Low to Moderate. While not a high-investment piece, it is essential for collectors looking to complete a full 'City' emergency services layout.
History
Follows the evolution of LEGO rescue themes from the classic 1990s simple jackets to the highly detailed, multi-colored tactical gear used in current City sets.
Interesting Facts
The Medium Azure color for the legs was specifically chosen for this wave to differentiate the Coast Guard from the standard Police (Dark Blue) or Fire (Black/Dark Grey) themes.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed with a Life Jacket piece (part 2610) on a beach-themed baseplate or next to the 60163 Starter Set coast guard ATV.
Modification Potential
Excellent for MOCs (My Own Creations). The torso is perfect for custom paramedics, ski patrol, or mountain rescue figures due to the versatile color palette.
Overall Assessment
A solid, well-designed City minifigure that exemplifies the high-detail printing of the late 2010s. It is an affordable and recognizable part of the Modern LEGO City era.
