Theme
The LEGO Movie
Year Released
2014 - Released as a lead antagonist for the first LEGO Movie wave.
Rarity
Common - This figure was widely available in multiple sets and is relatively easy to find on the secondary market.
Head
Dual-sided yellow head: One side features Bad Cop's stern expression with silver sunglasses; the other side features 'Scribble Face' (Good Cop with face wiped dry-erase style). He wears a black Custodian / Bobby helmet with a silver badge print.
Torso
Black torso with police uniform printing: includes a silver police badge, pockets, and a utility belt. Plain black arms and yellow hands.
Legs
Plain black legs with no additional printing or dual-molding.
Accessories
Notably pictured here with an 'Evil Beard' (Sensei Wu style in black) which is likely a custom addition by a user as it did not come in his official sets. His standard accessories include a phone-piece walkie-talkie and a weaponized pair of handcuffs.
Color Scheme
Predominantly black and yellow with silver and blue accents on the torso printing to denote the police uniform.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head and torso. The silver metallic ink on the badge and sunglasses is particularly reflective and crisp.
Variants
There are several variants: tlm021 (with regular Good Cop face), tlm111 (as a young cop), and tlm002 (the Scribble Face version shown here).
Condition Notes
The silver ink on the sunglasses is prone to scratching over time. The helmet's chin strap printing on the head can also show wear from taking the helmet on and off.
Estimated Value
Used: $3.00 - $5.00 USD; New/Sealed (Minifigure only): $6.00 - $8.00 USD. The value is relatively low due to high production numbers.
Price (New)
Originally included in sets ranging from $19.99 (70802 Bad Cop's Pursuit) to $69.99 (70815 Super Secret Police Dropship).
Compatible Sets
70802 Bad Cop's Pursuit, 70815 Super Secret Police Dropship, 70819 Bad Cop Car Chase.
Character Background
Voiced by Liam Neeson, Bad Cop is Lord Business's primary enforcer. He suffers from a split personality (Good Cop), but Lord Business uses 'Kragle' to erase his Good Cop face, resulting in the 'Scribble Face' depicted in this figure.
Design Notes
The use of the classic British 'Bobby' helmet mold for a high-tech enforcer was a stylistic choice to blend classic LEGO elements with a modern cinematic aesthetic.
Similar Minifigures
Classic Town Police officers, Detective (CMF Series 5), and other LEGO Movie antagonists like Robo SWATs.
Collectibility
Moderate - A vital character for fans of the movie, though the abundance of the figure keeps it from being a high-value investment piece.
History
This figure marked the transition of LEGO into cinematic property-driven themes where characters often featured more 'wear' or story-specific damage (like the scribbled face).
Interesting Facts
The 'Scribble Face' is a meta-reference to how children might draw on or modify their own minifigures with markers.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed with his specialized police interceptor or alongside Lord Business and the Robo SWAT units.
Modification Potential
The figure in the image is already modified with a black 'Sensei Wu' beard piece (Part 6030386), which is popular for making 'Evil' versions of characters.
Overall Assessment
A fantastic, expressive minifigure that captures the humor and storytelling of The LEGO Movie. A must-have for movie completionists but very common for general collectors.
