Theme
The LEGO Movie
Year Released
2014, released alongside the first LEGO Movie sets as part of the initial wave reflecting the Old West segment of the film.
Rarity
Uncommon. While not a limited promotional item, he only appeared in two sets and his specific torso and head printing are unique to this character design.
Head
Features a light gray head piece representing a full mask/balaclava; yellow eye area with determined black eyebrows and white eyes; the mask has slight fabric crease printing.
Torso
Dark brown vest over a tan shirt with a light blue neckerchief/bandana; includes a silver and gold six-pointed star sheriff's badge; light flesh-colored arms with light gray hands.
Legs
The legs are missing in the image; they should officially be dark brown with a silver belt buckle and tan printing on the hips to match the vest.
Accessories
A light gray cowboy hat with a molded-in silver/white star emblem on the front; usually equipped with a long rifle or silver revolvers (missing in photo).
Color Scheme
A blend of earth tones (Dark Brown, Tan, Light Flesh) contrasted by Light Gray structural parts and a punch of Yellow for the eyes.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing typical of the 2014 era; the badge detail is sharp and the bandana print shows layered shading; features back printing of the vest straps.
Variants
None. This specific configuration is the only version of this generic lawman from the film.
Condition Notes
The light gray hands are prone to cracking at the wrists; the hat's star paint can rub off with heavy play; check for torso side-cracks under the armpits.
Estimated Value
Complete: $4.00 - $6.00 USD. Current state (missing legs/accessories): $1.50 - $2.50 USD. The torso and head are the primary value drivers here.
Price (New)
Included in sets ranging from $24.99 (Getaway Glider) to $69.99 (Creative Ambush).
Compatible Sets
70800 Getaway Glider; 70812 Creative Ambush.
Character Background
A law enforcement official in the Old West world of 'The LEGO Movie' (2014), one of the characters tasked by Lord Business to capture Emmet (The Special).
Design Notes
Unique use of a full-head gray mask printing on a standard head piece to create a masked look without using a separate cloth piece or dual-molding.
Similar Minifigures
Sheriff (Western Theme 1996), Wiley Fusebot, and Deputron from the same LEGO Movie wave.
Collectibility
Medium. He is a 'background' character but essential for those completing a full LEGO Movie cast collection or building large Western dioramas.
History
Released during LEGO's massive brand expansion surrounding their first theatrical film; marked a return to Western themes not seen since the Lone Ranger sets.
Interesting Facts
Despite having a Badge and the title 'Sheriff', his mask implies he might be an outlaw in disguise or simply a robotic henchman of Lord Business.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed alongside Emmet and Wyldstyle on a 'Wanted' poster vignette or within a Desert/Western town MOC.
Modification Potential
The head is excellent for custom ninjas, bank robbers, or winter-themed survivalist MOCs due to the gray balaclava design.
Overall Assessment
A solid supporting character minifigure with high-quality printing. While incomplete in this photo, the torso and head remain iconic to the 2014 LEGO Movie line.
