Collectibility
Low to moderate - primarily sought by those completing full LEGO City collections or building Coast Guard dioramas
History
Part of the third major iteration of the LEGO City Coast Guard line (following 2008 and 2013), marking the first use of the lime-accented uniform
Interesting Facts
This specific face print with the sweat drops is often used for pilots or characters in high-stress situations to convey a sense of 'adventure' and 'near-misses'
Display Suggestions
Best displayed inside the cockpit of a 60166 helicopter or on the deck of a Coast Guard patrol boat alongside a rescue dog figure
Modification Potential
Torso is excellent for custom MOCs involving SWAT teams or high-altitude flight suits due to the tactical black and silver print
Overall Assessment
A solid, standard-issue LEGO City figure. While not rare, the printing quality was a high point for City figures in the late 2010s. Highly recommended for playability and diorama building.
