Year Released
2013 (Released as part of the Series 11 blind-box wave)
Rarity
Uncommon; as a retired blind-box figure from over a decade ago, it is becoming more difficult to find in pristine condition.
Head
Yellow classic skin tone with a unique facial print featuring a thick brown handlebar mustache, bushy eyebrows, and a black chin strap to match the Custodian helmet.
Torso
Black torso with high-quality pad printing of a traditional British police uniform, featuring silver buttons, a badge, a grey belt, and collar numbers '1337'.
Legs
Plain black legs (standard minifigure height) with a black hip piece.
Accessories
Traditional black Custodian 'Bobby' helmet with a silver badge molded in. This specific figure originally came with a grey baton (truncheon), which is missing in the image.
Color Scheme
A strictly formal Black and Yellow palette with silver/grey metallic accents for the uniform detailing.
Printing Details
High-detail pad printing on the front of the torso and head. No back-of-torso printing, which was common for several CMF figures of this specific era.
Variants
There are no official LEGO variants of this specific Series 11 Constable, though it pays homage to older classic police figures from the 1980s.
Condition Notes
The helmet crest is prone to silver paint wear. Check for 'neck cracks' on the black torso and ensure the mustache print isn't fading from handling.
Estimated Value
Used (without baton): $8-$12 USD; Used (complete): $15-$20 USD; New (sealed in foil pack): $25-$35 USD.
Price (New)
Original MSRP was $2.99 USD in 2013.
Compatible Sets
Collectable Minifigures Series 11 (Set 71002).
Character Background
Modeled after a classic British 'Bobby,' this character is a staple of UK law enforcement history, often seen in media patrolling London streets with a polite but firm demeanor.
Design Notes
Uses a specialized helmet mold unique to this figure at the time of release. The collar number '1337' is a 'leetspeak' Easter egg for 'LEET' (Elite).
Similar Minifigures
Classic Police officers from the 1970s/80s, the Series 9 Policeman, and the Series 18 1978-style Police Officer.
Collectibility
High. The 'occupational' figures in the CMF line hold value well for City builders and MOC enthusiasts creating European-themed scenes.
History
Part of the transition period where CMF figures began receiving more specialized, unique accessory molds like the Custodian helmet.
Interesting Facts
The '1337' on the collar is a wink to early internet/gaming culture. He is one of the few police figures in LEGO history to feature a chin strap printed on the head.
Display Suggestions
Displays perfectly in a London-themed vignette alongside a red phone booth or a Series 8 Highland Battler.
Modification Potential
The head is highly desired for custom Victorian-era or Steampunk MOCs due to the period-appropriate facial hair.
Overall Assessment
A quintessential CMF figure that perfectly captures a cultural icon. Highly recommended for its unique helmet and humorous collar detailing.
