Figure ID

Theme
City
Year Released
2005
Rarity
Common. This figure was mass-produced during the soft reboot of the City theme, appearing in high-volume entry-level sets.
Head
Yellow classic skin tone. Features a broad grin with white teeth and large orange-tinted wrap-around sunglasses. Accompanied by a white motorcycle/racing helmet with a trans-black visor.
Torso
Dark blue jumpsuit pattern. Front printing includes a silver police badge with a star, two silver zippers, a grey radio/ID patch, and pocket outlines. Plain dark blue back. Dark blue arms and light bluish grey hands.
Legs
Plain dark blue legs without printing. Standard hip piece.
Accessories
Includes an orange 'donut' (1x1 round tile with hole/print) held in the left hand. Commonly paired with motorcycles or police vans in official sets.
Color Scheme
Primary dark blue with white and yellow accents. Orange sunglasses provide a pop of high-visibility color consistent with mid-2000s emergency themes.
Printing Details
Simple digital/pad printing characteristic of the early City era. Detail is sharp but lacks the complex texturing or side-printing of modern 2020s figures.
Variants
Variations of this torso exist with different head combinations, including versions with standard sunglasses or stubble. This specific combination is the most iconic for the 2005 Police line.
Condition Notes
Visors are prone to scratching and 'fogging'. Check for gold/silver fading on the badge print. Hand joints may show small stress cracks due to age.
Estimated Value
Used: $2.00 - $4.00 USD. New: $7.00 - $10.00 USD. Value is largely sentimental as it is a common 'bulk' figure.
Price (New)
Originally available in sets ranging from the $5.99 Police Motorcycle to the $80.00 Police Headquarters (2005).
Compatible Sets
7235 Police Motorcycle, 7237 Police Headquarters, 7744 Police Headquarters, 7245 Dual-Heli Transport.
Character Background
Generic law enforcement officer. In the 2005 City lore, these officers were part of the first generation of 'modern' LEGO City, replacing the older 'World City' aesthetic.
Design Notes
The orange sunglasses were a significant departure from the classic 'aviator' look of 90s LEGO police, aiming for a more sporty, active-duty appearance.
Similar Minifigures
cty0009 (Police with hair), cty0058 (Police with vest), and early 2000s Race Car Drivers using the same helmet mold.
Collectibility
Low to Moderate. Primarily collected for nostalgia or to bolster large City dioramas. High supply keeps investment potential low.
History
This figure marked a milestone where LEGO moved away from the specialized 'World City' molds back to a more traditional, system-based City design that remains the standard today.
Interesting Facts
The 'donut' accessory seen in the user photo is a fan-favorite trope that LEGO designers eventually leaned into, making it a staple accessory for City police figures.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a LEGO City 60410 style motorcycle or standing outside a classic 7237 Headquarters. Pairs well with standard blue-and-white police vehicles.
Modification Potential
Highly modular. The jumpsuit torso is excellent for custom mechanics, pilots, or specialized workers by swapping the head/gear.
Overall Assessment
A quintessential 2000s-era LEGO figure. While not financially valuable, it represents a peak era of LEGO City playability and remains a staple of many childhood collections.
