Rarity
Uncommon to Rare. While mass-produced in a retail set, the set was expensive and is now retired, making the figure highly sought after by fans of the show.
Head
Light flesh tone with a neutral/slightly concerned expression, featuring detailed brown hair integrated with a red, white, and blue trucker hat mold unique to the character.
Torso
Dark blue jacket over a teal 'Waupaca, Wisconsin' t-shirt. The printing includes a yellow and brown patterned collar detail for the inner shirt and buttons on the jacket.
Legs
Dark tan short legs (non-poseable) to represent the character's height as a child in Season 1.
Accessories
Classic oversized black walkie-talkie (brick-built with a tile/antenna) and a 1x2 transparent tile printed with a compass design.
Color Scheme
Primary colors of Dark Blue, Teal, and Dark Tan, accented by the signature red/white/blue of his iconic hat.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front and back) and head. The compass tile is a precision-printed element. Leg pieces are solid color without printing.
Variants
This is the only official minifigure version of Dustin Henderson produced by LEGO to date.
Condition Notes
Watch for paint wear on the bill of the hat and scratches on the transparent compass tile. Short legs are prone to the 'clutch power' weakening at the hip joint over time.
Estimated Value
Used: $35.00 - $45.00; New (pulled from set): $50.00+. Prices are trending upward due to the set's retirement.
Price (New)

Character Background
Dustin Henderson is a core protagonist from the Netflix series 'Stranger Things', known for his intelligence, diplomacy within the group, and his love for science and D&D.
Design Notes
The hair/hat combo is a dual-molded piece specifically created for this character to capture his iconic look accurately.
Similar Minifigures
Other characters from the same set: Mike Wheeler (stn001), Lucas Sinclair (stn003), Will Byers (stn004), and Eleven (stn005).
Collectibility
High. As the only LEGO representation of a fan-favorite character from a licensed sub-theme with only one major set, it is a blue-chip collectible for pop-culture fans.
History
Debuted with the launch of the LEGO Stranger Things line in 2019, marking LEGO's first major collaboration for an TV-14/MA rated series directed at adult fans (AFOLs).
Interesting Facts
The 'Waupaca' shirt on the torso print is a reference to a real-world location in Wisconsin, consistent with the character's attire in the show's first season.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the other 'Party' members on a forest-themed baseplate or inside the 75810 display stand. Keep out of direct sunlight to prevent the dark blue torso from fading.
Modification Potential
The head and hairpiece are often used for custom 'Goonies' or 1980s-era MOCs due to the high-quality retro hat mold.
Overall Assessment
An exceptional minifigure with a unique mold and high character accuracy. A must-have for Stranger Things fans and a strong investment piece.
