Rarity
N/A as a figure; components are common to uncommon.
Head
LEGO Head #3626cpr2001: Yellow with orange goggles/sunglasses and black sideburns. Originally from the 2017 City Jungle Explorers theme (e.g., Jungle Explorer cty0789).
Torso
LEGO Torso #973pb0476c01: Black suit with dark tan fur collar, white shirt, and black tie printing. Originally from The LEGO Batman Movie - The Penguin (sh315).
Legs
LEGO Legs #970c00: Plain black or sparsely printed black legs. While the torso is intended for short legs for The Penguin, these appear to be standard length black legs.
Accessories
Black Top Hat (part 3878). This is a classic LEGO headgear piece used across many themes since the 1970s.
Color Scheme
Dominant Black with Yellow skin, Brown/Tan fur accents, and Orange eyewear details.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on torso and head. The torso features detailed texture for the fur collar and buttons. Head includes detailed sideburns and translucent-effect orange goggles.
Variants
This is a custom assembly; therefore, no direct official variants exist. The head has a dual-sided version in some sets.
Condition Notes
Inspect the neckline of the torso for cracks (common in black torsos). Check the top hat for 'bite marks' or scratches. Ensure the head printing isn't fading at the bridge of the nose.
Estimated Value
Approximately $5.00 - $8.00 USD. Torso: $3.00, Head: $1.50, Hat: $0.50, Legs: $0.50.
Price (New)
N/A (Individual parts originated in sets ranging from $10.00 to $80.00).
Compatible Sets
Torso from 70909 Batcave Break-in. Head from 60158 Jungle Cargo Helicopter. Hat from various Modular Buildings and City sets.
Character Background
A custom-created figure. Visually, it resembles a Victorian-era explorer or a stylized version of DC's The Penguin with an updated head choice.
Design Notes
This assembly utilizes pieces from the late 2010s. The 'Jungle Explorer' head is often used by fans for steampunk or retro-futuristic characters due to the goggles.
Similar Minifigures
The Penguin (sh315), Ebenezer Scrooge (hol181), and various City Jungle Explorers.
Collectibility
Low as a complete unit for official collectors, but the individual 'Penguin' torso and 'Top Hat' are useful pieces for customizers.
History
This figure represents the 'Purist MOC' (My Own Creation) culture where collectors mix official parts to create new characters.
Interesting Facts
The torso belongs to one of the most detailed versions of The Penguin ever produced by LEGO, while the head is from one of the first sets to feature the 'Jungle' sub-theme.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for a Steampunk diorama, a Victorian London street scene, or as a civilian in a Batman Gotham City display.
Modification Potential
High. Replacing the legs with 'short' legs would return the torso to its original 'Penguin' proportions. Swapping the hat for a Fedora would create a 'Mob Boss' look.
Overall Assessment
A well-coordinated custom assembly. While not an official figure, the parts are 100% authentic LEGO and the aesthetic is cohesive and professionally designed.
