Year Released
First appeared in 2011. This specific mold was a significant update over the classic 1990s blocky dog mold.
Rarity
Common to Uncommon. While it appeared in several sets, it is often a sought-after animal print compared to solid-colored dogs.
Head
Integral to the body mold. Features black eye printing, a small black nose, and black spot patterns on the ears and forehead.
Torso
The main body of the dog mold. Features a 'sitting' or 'standing' alert posture with black Dalmatian spot printing scattered across the back and sides.
Legs
Four molded legs (non-articulated) in a white base color with black spot printing on the upper haunches and lower limbs.
Accessories
None included with the animal itself, though often paired in sets with a bone (part 92691) or a red fire hydrant.
Color Scheme
Classic White and Black. The base plastic is white with high-contrast black pad printing for the spots.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing. Note that due to the nature of the printing process on curved plastic, the placement of spots can vary slightly between individual figures.
Variants
The Dalmatian has appeared with different spot patterns; specifically, a 'standing' version (part 92582pb01) and a 'Friends' style stylized version (part 12888pb03) with larger eyes.
Condition Notes
The white plastic is highly susceptible to yellowing if exposed to UV light. Check the neck and leg joints for dirt buildup. Spot printing can rub off with heavy play wear.
Estimated Value
Used: $1.50 - $3.00 USD. New: $4.00 - $6.00 USD. Value is stable but low due to high production volume.
Price (New)
N/A (Generally included in sets ranging from $10 to $150). It was never sold as a standalone retail item.
Compatible Sets
7498 Police Station (2011), 10218 Pet Shop (2011), 60002 Fire Truck (2013), and 60110 Fire Station (2016).
Character Background
Serving as the traditional mascot for Fire Stations in the LEGO City universe, the Dalmatian is a staple of emergency-themed sets.
Design Notes
This mold (part 92582) was a major leap in realism from the 1990s 'square' dog. It features a more organic shape and specific breed-standard markings.
Similar Minifigures
German Shepherd (part 92582pb03), Husky (part 16606), and the newer 2023 Golden Retriever mold.
Collectibility
Moderate. It is essential for completionists of City Fire or modular building (10218) collections.
History
LEGO dogs transitioned from the 'Fabuland' style to the 'Classic' boxy style (1980s-2000s) before landing on this more accurate breed-specific mold in 2011.
Interesting Facts
The spot pattern is asymmetrical. The print on the left side of the dog is distinct from the print on the right side.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed next to a LEGO City Fire Truck or inside a modular park scene. Use a 1x2 jumper plate to secure it to a baseplate.
Modification Potential
Difficult to modify due to the intricate factory printing, but often used as a base for custom painted 'Pet Shop' MOCs.
Overall Assessment
A charming and iconic LEGO animal. While not high in monetary value, its design is timeless and highly recognizable for fans of the City theme.
