A primary palette of Sand Blue and Dark Blue, accented by a Dark Red undershirt and classic Yellow skin tones.
Printing Details
Pad-printed torso (front only) and hip/thigh area. High-definition lines on the harness buckles. Back of torso is typically unprinted for this specific coastal variant.
Variants
Standard version. Similar torsos exist with different heads in various 2017 Coast Guard sets. This specific head (3626cpb1563) is used on many City figures.
Condition Notes
Prone to 'torso cracks' on the sides under the armpits. Sand blue plastic hides dust well but can show scratches or 'scuffs' more clearly than darker colors.
Estimated Value
Used: $1.50 - $3.00 USD. Individual parts (torso/legs) are worth approximately $0.50 - $0.80 each.
Price (New)
N/A (Part of sets ranging from $9.99 to $119.99). Average price-per-minifigure in its native sets was roughly $3.50.
Compatible Sets
60163 Coast Guard Starter Set, 60165 4 x 4 Response Unit, 60167 Coast Guard Headquarters.
Character Background
A generic City Coast Guard member. These figures represent the search and rescue teams tasked with protecting the Lego City shoreline from sharks and boat accidents.
Design Notes
The 2017 Coast Guard range moved away from the bright orange and blue suits of 2013, opting for a more 'realistic' sand blue uniform which collectors appreciated for its utility in MOCs.
Similar Minifigures
cty0814 (Female version), cty0404 (2013 Coast Guard), cty0815 (Pilot version).
Collectibility
Low. This is a utility figure meant for play. While useful for army building, it lacks the unique appeal of licensed or limited-run figures.
History
Follows the evolution of LEGO City emergency services; this version represents the pinnacle of 'City' printing detail before the shift toward the more cartoonish 'City Adventures' TV show style.
Interesting Facts
The sand blue color used for the legs and torso is a favorite among Star Wars customizers for creating civilian or rebel mechanic characters.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a harbor diorama or on a Coast Guard cutter vessel (Set 60167).
Modification Potential
High. The neutral sand blue colors make the torso and legs excellent for 'purist' customs of characters from post-apocalyptic or military themes.
Overall Assessment
A solid, era-appropriate City figure. While not a high-value investment piece, its color palette and clean printing make it a high-quality 'background' character for any LEGO collection.
