Year Released
2017 - featured in set 60130 Prison Island. Released during a transition in City design toward more expressive and character-driven crooks.
Rarity
Common. This figure was mass-produced in a high-volume flagship set for the City Police line.
Head
Detailed face with a dark brown bushy beard, thick eyebrows, and a worried/nervous expression with a slightly open mouth. Features a reddish-brown slicked-back ponytail hair piece.
Torso
Red torso with a collared shirt design, featuring a diagonal dark brown bandolier strap and a small pouch on the front. A striped prisoner shirt (black and white) is visible at the neckline with the number '15' peek-through printing.
Legs
Plain dark brown hips and legs. Modern standard leg mold without specialized printing or short-leg variations.
Accessories
This figure typically does not come with specific standalone handheld accessories in its primary set, though often associated with crowbars or loot bags in play scenes. The hair piece is the primary defining aesthetic element.
Color Scheme
Primary Red and Dark Brown, accented by Yellow skin tone. The red shirt represents his 'civilian' disguise over his prisoner stripes.
Printing Details
Standard LEGO pad printing on the head and torso front. No arm or side leg printing. Clean alignment on the sash and pouch details.
Variants
None known for this specific ID. However, the head and torso are part of a modular system where LEGO swaps parts to create 'new' crooks across different sets.
Condition Notes
Watch for loose neck clutch due to the hair piece contact and potential wear on the beard printing. Plastic is standard ABS and resistant to yellowing, but the red torso can show scratches easily.
Estimated Value
$2.00 - $4.00 USD (Used/Complete); $5.00+ (New/Unassembled). Value is primarily functional rather than speculative.
Price (New)
Included in set 60130, which retailed for $89.99 USD. Not sold as an individual polybag or blister pack.
Compatible Sets
60130-1 Prison Island; 60127-1 Prison Island Starter Set (as a variant).
Character Background
A generic crook/villain within the LEGO City 'Prison Island' narrative. He is designed to look like a character attempting to hide his inmate status under a rugged red shirt.
Design Notes
The use of the prisoner number '15' under the shirt is an excellent world-building detail. The hair piece was relatively new to City figures at the time, offering a more 'gritty' look.
Similar Minifigures
cty0617 (Crook with same hair), cty0635 (Crook with red shirt and beanie), and various crooks from the Swamp Police or Mountain Police lines.
Collectibility
Low. Primarily sought after by collectors completing specific City sub-themes or MOC builders needing generic civilian/villain parts.
History
Represents the 2010s era of City Police where 'bad guys' received more individual personality and unique facial hair, moving away from the classic simple mustache designs.
Interesting Facts
The prisoner number printed on the shirt reflects the '15' suffix common in LEGO City Prison sets from that specific production cycle.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a jailbreak scene or a secret forest hideout. Pairs well with official LEGO City Police vehicles.
Modification Potential
High. The torso and head are very versatile for custom 'Lumberjack' or 'Outdoorsman' minifigures if the prisoner under-shirt is ignored.
Overall Assessment
A solid, standard-issue City villain with high-quality printing and a great hair piece. 6/10 for design, 2/10 for rarity.
