Character Background
An avid outdoorsman designed to fit within the nature-themed CMF characters. Usually depicted with a map and compass finding his way through the wilderness.
Design Notes
Notable for the 'Sand' colored cap-hair mold and the introduction of a detailed trekking map (missing here) which used a unique print for the time.
Similar Minifigures
Series 16 Wildlife Photographer, Series 10 Decorator, City Outdoor Adventures figures.
Collectibility
Medium; highly desired by 'City' builders for park or mountain scenes, but widely produced enough to remain affordable.
History
Released during a transition period where LEGO was increasing the level of torso/leg detail in the CMF line compared to standard City sets.
Interesting Facts
The map accessory originally included with this figure features a trail map that actually looks like a simplified LEGO mountain layout.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for mountain-climbing dioramas or placed atop the 'LURP' (Large Ugly Rock Piece) seen in the provided photo.
Modification Potential
Great for customization; the green vest is a versatile piece for any hiker, worker, or civilian custom figure.
Overall Assessment
A solid, well-designed figure that serves as a staple for modern LEGO wilderness themes. The example in the photo is modified with a weapon, deviating from its original peaceful hiker persona.
