Light flesh tone with a blue domino mask printed around the eyes. Features a wide, determined grin showing teeth. Single-sided printing. Topped with a Bright Light Orange spiked/messy hair piece.
Torso
Yellow torso with complex printing representing a tactical jumpsuit. Features blue armor plates, a circular red light detail (representative of a calculator screen/button), brown utility belts, and harness straps. Bright Light Orange arms with blue hands.
Legs
Yellow legs with extensive black and brown horizontal/vertical line printing to mimic a grid or 'calculator' aesthetic. The printing wraps around the front of the legs and hips.

Color Scheme
Primary colors are bright yellow and blue, with accents of brown, light orange, and black lines for the grid pattern.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing typical of CMF series. The leg printing is particularly detailed with a fine grid pattern. No arm or side leg printing, but high detail on the torso front/back.
Variants
This is the only official LEGO minifigure version of The Calculator to date.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include the blue hands (cracking) and the hair piece (pointy edges can get blunted). Check for fading on the yellow leg printing.
Estimated Value
Used: $3.00 - $5.00 USD; New (sealed bag): $6.00 - $9.00 USD. Value is relatively low due to the character being an obscure villain.

Character Background
Noah Kuttler, aka The Calculator, is a DC Comics villain known for his genius-level intellect. In The LEGO Batman Movie, he is reimagined in a costume that pays homage to his classic 1970s look.
Design Notes
The grid pattern on the legs is a clever nod to technical graph paper and old calculator displays. The hair mold is a re-use of a common style but in a specific orange hue.
Similar Minifigures
Other obscure Batman Movie villains like Killer Moth (sh349), Eraser (colbat1-14), or Zodiac Master (colbat2-14).
Collectibility
Moderate. Essential for completionists of The LEGO Batman Movie collection, but not a high-value 'grail' figure for general DC fans.
History
Released during the second wave of the highly successful LEGO Batman Movie CMF line, which focused on more obscure 'D-list' villains from Batman's rogue gallery.
Interesting Facts
The character in the comics eventually became a dark information broker (the evil version of Oracle), but LEGO chose his much sillier original costume for this figure.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed with other villains from the Gotham City energy plant scene or on a dedicated CMF display frame.
Modification Potential
The grid-printed legs are highly useful for custom 'matrix' or techno-themed MOCs. The hair piece is great for custom anime figures.
Overall Assessment
A fun, well-printed figure that captures the quirky humor of the LEGO Batman franchise. Excellent value for money due to the high density of printing.
