Figure ID
cty0365
Theme
City
Year Released
2013
Rarity
Common to Uncommon. While it appeared specifically in a seasonal set, there were many of these produced. However, finding one in mint condition with all specific parts can be slightly more difficult than standard City figures.
Head
Standard yellow skin tone with a 'Scared/Worried' expression featuring raised eyebrows, wide eyes, and an open, slightly jagged mouth. It is topped with a black messy/swept hair piece (Part 98385).
Torso
White torso with teal/blue hoodie printing including a large front pocket, drawstrings, and a lime green/white striped shirt visible underneath at the collar. The arms are white with yellow hands.
Legs
Short, non-bending legs in solid bright orange. This depicts a child character in the LEGO scale.
Accessories
In the image, the figure is holding a white 1x1 round brick (open stud), representing a mug or a small container. In its original set, it included a remote control and a small RC car.
Color Scheme
Primary white and orange, accented by teal and lime green. Black hair provides a high-contrast top-heavy visual.
Printing Details
Pad-printed torso front with high-contrast lines for the hoodie. The head features standard black and white eye/mouth printing. No back torso printing or leg printing is present on this specific variant.
Variants
The torso appears on various figures (e.g., cty0327), but the specific combination of the scared face and orange short legs makes this the character from the 2013 Advent Calendar.
Condition Notes
Prone to 'torso cracking' on the sides under the arms if played with heavily. The orange short legs are durable, but the white torso can show dirt or 'play wear' scratches easily. Yellowing may occur if exposed to UV.
Estimated Value
$2.00 - $4.00 USD (Used/Complete). Individual parts (torso/head) are worth approximately $0.50 - $1.00 each.
Price (New)
Originally included in set 60024 (City Advent Calendar 2013) which retailed for $29.99 USD. The per-figure value at retail was approx. $1.25 given the 24 items in the set.
Compatible Sets

Character Background
A generic young citizen of LEGO City. In the context of the 2013 Advent Calendar, he is often depicted as a kid playing with winter toys or being surprised by holiday mishaps.
Design Notes
Uses the 'Short Leg' mold introduced for children and shorter characters. The hoodie design is a classic 'City' aesthetic from the early 2010s aiming for a realistic modern look.
Similar Minifigures
cty0327 (Boy with same torso but different head/legs), and various other City children from the 2012-2015 era.
Collectibility
Low to Moderate. It is a 'filler' figure for most collections but holds nostalgic value for those who collected the 2013 City Advent Calendar. Not a high-growth investment piece.
History
Part of the transition era in City where more expressive faces (beyond the classic smile) became standard for civilian figures.
Interesting Facts
The 'scared face' used here is one of the most versatile LEGO heads, appearing in themes ranging from City to Harry Potter and Star Wars for various background characters.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for winter village dioramas or snow-themed MOCs. As shown in the image, placing it in real snow creates a great scale effect, though moisture should be dried off immediately to protect the plastic and friction of joints.
Modification Potential
High. Because it uses standard child parts, the head and torso are frequently swapped by fans to create 'Self-MOC' child figures or custom townspeople.
Overall Assessment
A charming, standard City figure that perfectly captures a moment of childhood surprise. It is a solid 6/10 for collectors—not rare, but highly evocative for scene building.
