Year Released
2013 (First release coincided with the LEGO City Undercover video game launch)
Rarity
Uncommon; originally exclusive to a single high-priced set and a promotional polybag during its initial run.
Head
Yellow head with bushy brown eyebrows, a slight smirk/cocky grin, and a printed black headset/microphone. Topped with a reddish-brown messy hair piece (frequently called the 'Han Solo' hair).
Torso
Bright Light Blue torso with a Dark Bluish Gray tactical vest print. Features include a gold police badge, various pockets with zippers, a utility harness, and back printing showing continuation of the vest.
Legs
Bright Light Blue legs and hips with black and silver printing detail representing a rappelling harness or utility leg straps.
Accessories
As pictured, the figure is missing its primary accessories. Originally included a black grappling hook gun and a pair of silver handcuffs.
Color Scheme
Bright Light Blue (often called 'Sand Blue' by mistake, though specifically part of the 2013-era police uniform), black, and reddish-brown.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front and back) and the front of the legs. The headset print is precise and characteristic of the 2013 evolution in face detailing.
Variants
There are several variants: cty0741 (Police uniform with different torso), cty0847 (Crook/disguise version), and cty0825 (updated 2017 version). This specific one (cty0383) is the 'classic' original game version.
Condition Notes
The arms show minor scuffing. Check for stress marks at the hips which are common due to the leg printing. The hair piece is prone to 'teeth marks' from younger play.
Estimated Value
Used Complete: $8 - $12 USD; New/Sealed in Polybag: $15 - $20 USD. The torso and legs are the most valuable components.

Character Background
Chase McCain is the protagonist of 'LEGO City Undercover'. He is a legendary detective who returns to LEGO City to hunt down the escaped villain Rex Fury.
Design Notes
The figure was designed to bridge the gap between digital game assets and physical toys, resulting in a more 'action hero' aesthetic than typical City police officers of the time.
Similar Minifigures
Han Solo (due to the hair), Rex Fury, and various high-detail LEGO City Police Elite officers from the 2013-2015 era.
Collectibility
High for City fans; Chase McCain is one of the few 'named' characters in the City theme to achieve icon status through media cross-over.
History
Represents the first time a LEGO City character was given a fleshed-out personality and backstory via an open-world video game, moving away from generic 'Police Officer' roles.
Interesting Facts
The headset printed on the face was specifically designed to reflect his 'communicator' used in the game to talk to Ellie Phillips.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed with a blue sports car or a police cruiser. Looks great alongside other 'hero' minifigures like Emmet or Batman in a crossover display.
Modification Potential
The torso and legs are excellent for 'Special Ops' or tactical MOCs. The hair piece is highly sought after for customizing Star Wars characters.
Overall Assessment
A quintessential 2010s minifigure. While the City theme is often overlooked by adult collectors, this specific version of Chase McCain is a cornerstone of the 'Undercover' sub-line and holds steady value.
