Color Scheme
A mix of Black, Dark Bluish Gray, and Bright Light Orange (Yellow). The dark orange hair provides a pop of color that matches the ginger hair trope often used in maritime themes.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head including detailed stubble and eyes. The torso (though partially obscured) features a wet-suit style print with blue and gray accents.
Variants
Variations of this figure exist in the same sets with different hair pieces or expressions, but the 'cty0799' specifically identifies this head/torso combination.
Condition Notes
The life jacket can cause light scratching on the torso printing over time. Check for 'neck cracks' on the torso and loose arm joints.

Character Background

Interesting Facts
The 'scared' face on the back of the head is often used for the rescued civilian in sets, making this figure versatile for storytelling.
Display Suggestions

Modification Potential
High; the head and hair are very popular for creating custom 'Everyday Man' figures or Star Wars background characters.
Overall Assessment
A solid, functional City minifigure. While not ivory-tower rare, it features excellent head printing and a highly useful life jacket element.
