Rarity
Uncommon; as a blind-bag figure from 2012, it is no longer in production, making it rarer than retail City figures but common for CMF collectors.
Head
Yellow head with high-detail printing: dark tan handlebar mustache, stubble/beard texture, and silver aviator-style sunglasses with white reflections.
Torso
Light bluish gray sleeveless denim vest over a white t-shirt. Features black chest hair printing, pocket stitching, and a black studded belt with a silver skull buckle.
Legs
Black legs with intricate silver chain and skull-patterned bandana/handkerchief hanging from the right pocket. Detailed printing on the hips for the belt.
Accessories
Originally included a black motorcycle helmet and a red bandana neck piece (missing in the image).
Color Scheme
A mix of black, yellow, light bluish gray, and white, with metallic silver accents on the belt, chain, and shades.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing typical of CMF series. Features detail on the front of the torso and legs, plus detailed facial hair and 'stubble' dots.
Variants
This specific printing is unique to Series 7, though the 'Biker' archetype has appeared in many City sets with simpler designs.
Condition Notes
The image shows notable play wear: the neck stud has some grime, and there appear to be small scratches on the sunglasses. The yellow torso/arm joints are prone to hairline cracks over time.
Estimated Value
Used (without accessories): $3.00 - $5.00. New/Sealed in bag: $12.00 - $18.00. Used complete: $7.00 - $10.00.

Character Background
Part of the LEGO Collectible Minifigures lore, this character is a rough-and-tumble motorcycle enthusiast, reminiscent of classic americana biker culture.
Design Notes
Notable for the 'stubble' printing which was relatively advanced for 2012. The skull belt buckle is a standout detail that adds character edge.
Similar Minifigures
Biker from Series 18 (Race Car Guy), various City Great Vehicles bikers, and the 'Haze' or 'Snake' figures from Ninjago.
Collectibility
Moderate. It is a 'staple' figure for completionist CMF collectors but hasn't reached the cult status of figures like the Bunny Suit Guy.
History
Follows the tradition of 'vocation' or 'hobby' figures in the early CMF runs (Series 1-10) before moving into more licensed or fantasy-heavy waves.
Interesting Facts
The skull on the belt buckle is a common motif reused in Lego Pirates and LEGO Agents, but here it's styled as a silver fashion accessory.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a 1x2-2x2 stand alongside a LEGO chopper motorcycle (Part 2490) or in a city-themed bar/garage MOC.
Modification Potential
Excellent. The head and legs are popular for creating custom 'Old Man' or 'Tough Guy' characters in City layouts.
Overall Assessment
A solid, era-appropriate minifigure with great character design. While missing its accessories in this photo, the base parts remain highly recognizable and desirable for 2010s-era collectors.
