Figure ID

Theme
Speed Champions
Year Released
2015. Included in the first wave of the Speed Champions theme which focused on high-performance licensed automotive brands.
Rarity
Uncommon. While not a limited edition, this figure was only available in specific McLaren-branded sets that are now retired, increasing its rarity over time.
Head
Yellow classic skin tone with black sunglasses and a confident smirk. Topped with a dark orange messy/curly hair piece (Part 15443).
Torso
Dark Stone Grey (Dark Bluish Gray) torso with McLaren team jacket printing. Features horizontal grey quilting, a red zipper line, and black side panels. Back printing includes the McLaren logo.
Legs
White plain unprinted legs. These represent the team's official pit crew uniform trousers.
Accessories
Large black open-end wrench (spanner). This is a standard LEGO tool element, but central to the pit crew identity of this character.
Color Scheme
Grey, White, and Red. Specifically Dark Bluish Gray, White, and Bright Red accents to match the McLaren racing team colors of the 2014-2015 era.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front and back). The alignment of the zipper and the horizontal ribbing on the jacket is quite precise for the 2015 era.
Variants
Standard version. Note that other figures in the McLaren sets might have different head pieces (helmets vs. hair) or different facial expressions.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include the white legs which are prone to discoloration/staining and the 'hands' which can crack if the wrench is left in place for years.
Estimated Value
Used: $4.00 - $7.00 USD. New/Mint: $8.00 - $12.00 USD. The value is largely tied to the specialty torso printing.
Price (New)
Originally included in sets ranging from $14.99 (75909) to $29.99 (75911). It was never sold as an individual blister pack or CMF figure.
Compatible Sets
75909 McLaren P1 and 75911 McLaren Mercedes Pit Stop.
Character Background
Represents a generic McLaren Mercedes technician or driver from the 2015 Formula 1 / Supercar era. Based on real-world team apparel worn by McLaren staff.
Design Notes
The torso represents a transition in LEGO's design style toward more detailed, realistic apparel printing for licensed themes, moving away from simple shapes.
Similar Minifigures
sc003 McLaren Mercedes Pit Crew (Helmet version), and various Ferrari or Porsche pit crew members from the same wave.
Collectibility
Moderate. High appeal for car enthusiasts and Speed Champions completionists, but less 'must-have' for general collectors compared to Star Wars or Marvel.
History
Part of the debut wave of Speed Champions. This figure helped establish the standard of high-detail torso prints for the entire automotive line.
Interesting Facts
The 'messy hair' mold in dark orange used here is often used for casual or 'cool' characters across City and licensed themes, such as Ron Weasley in some Harry Potter sets.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed inside a custom garage MOC or standing next to the LEGO 75909 McLaren P1. Use an acrylic tiered case to keep the white legs dust-free.
Modification Potential
Excellent torso for custom automotive MOCs. The white legs are easily swapped for light grey or black to create different racing team variations.
Overall Assessment
A solid, era-appropriate minifigure with a high-quality torso print. Standout features are the accurate McLaren branding and the 'cool' sunglasses head.
