Year Released
2013
Rarity
Uncommon but specific; primarily released as a promotional polybag or within the short-lived Galaxy Squad/Universe tie-in era.
Head
Yellow head with aviator-style sunglasses, a smirk, and short orange hair visible under the headgear. The facial print features thin eyebrows and minimal smile lines.
Torso
Dark Stone Grey (Dark Bluish Gray) with a light grey vest print, orange piping details, and a high-collared utility vest design. This part was actually originally associated with the 'Galaxy Squad' secondary characters and 'Lego Universe' players.
Legs
Dark Stone Grey (Dark Bluish Gray) with printing that continues the orange piping and utility belt aesthetic from the torso, including some technical padding details and a slight honeycomb mesh print on one leg.
Accessories
Included in the photo: Lime Green Scarf (piece 92239), Dark Blue Baseball Cap with ponytail (piece 92356). Note: The scarf is a popular accessory addition frequently used to customize this figure's scout/pilot look.
Color Scheme
A technological palette of Dark Bluish Gray and Orange accents, contrasted by 'pop' colors in the accessories like Lime Green and Dark Blue.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing typical of early 2010s LEGO. Includes front torso and leg printing, but usually lacks arm or side-leg printing.
Variants
The torso and legs are shared with several 'Galaxy Squad' generic pilots (gs012), though the 'Quinton' character/head combination is specific to the Universe promotional releases.
Condition Notes
The lime scarf is prone to minor stress marks if bent, and the silver/orange piping on the torso can wear off with heavy play. Always check the 'neck' area of the torso for cracks.
Estimated Value
New: $12.00 - $18.00; Used: $5.00 - $9.00 depending on the presence of the scarf and specific hair piece.
Price (New)
Originally released in polybags ranging from $3.99 to $4.99 at retail or as a free promotional item with purchase.
Compatible Sets
Set 40065 (Major Quinton Polybag), and parts elements shared with 70701 Swarm Interceptor.
Character Background
Major Quinton was a character intended to bridge the world of the LEGO Universe MMO with physical sets, acting as a high-ranking officer or scout within the space-faring factions.
Design Notes
Features the 2013-era 'tech' aesthetic which used orange as a primary highlight color for space and sci-fi themes, popularized by the Galaxy Squad line.
Similar Minifigures
Galaxy Squad Blue Team pilots, Jack Fireblade, and various LEGO City Arctic explorers who utilize the scarf element.
Collectibility
Medium. While not a household name like Darth Vader, the figure is highly sought after by completionists of the 2010-2015 'Space' era and fans of the defunct LEGO Universe game.
History
Represents the 'silver age' of LEGO sci-fi where distinct sub-themes (like Galaxy Squad) were being experimented with alongside digital media tie-ins.
Interesting Facts
The accessory combo shown in the image (lime scarf + blue cap) is a common 'Customized Purist' setup, as the original polybag often featured a helmet; this specific configuration is a fan-favorite 'scout' look.
Display Suggestions
Looks best in a Hoth-style or Arctic diorama, or placed within a Galaxy Squad ship deck. Use a white baseplate to make the lime green and grey pop.
Modification Potential
Extremely high. The neutral grey and orange colors make these parts excellent for 'Mandalorian' MOCs or generic Sci-Fi soldiers.
Overall Assessment
A solid, stylish minifigure from a creative peak in LEGO's original sci-fi IP development. The color blocking is excellent, and the inclusion of the scarf makes it a standout for display.
