Rarity
Common; this torso was produced in high volumes and appeared in multiple accessible City sets during the early 2010s.
Head
Not present in image. In original sets, typically paired with a standard yellow male face, often with sunglasses or a grin.
Torso
Black torso with a v-neck collar revealing a yellow undershirt. Features a printed yellow ID badge with a silhouette, two horizontal grey reflective stripes at the bottom, and silver radio/pockets printed on the right arm.
Legs
Not present in image. Originally paired with dark blue or black plain legs.
Accessories
Not present in image. Typically accessorized with a grey walkie-talkie, handcuffs, or a tan park ranger hat.
Color Scheme
Dominant black with yellow accents (hands/neck) and grey/silver utility printing.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing. Notable for the detailed ID badge on the chest and the rare arm printing featuring utility pockets/radio.
Variants
The torso itself (part 76382 or 88585) has slight internal mold variations but the print remained consistent across set 4430 and 4209.
Condition Notes
Check for 'torso cracks' on the sides under the armpits. The silver arm printing is susceptible to rubbing/fading from heavy play.
Estimated Value
The complete minifigure is valued at $2.00 - $4.00 USD. The torso alone as shown is valued at approximately $0.50 - $1.00 USD.
Price (New)
N/A (Component of sets ranging from $19.99 to $79.99 retail).
Compatible Sets
Set 4430 (Fire Transporter), Set 4209 (Fire Plane), and Set 4645 (Harbor).
Character Background
A generic City professional acting as either a forest fire technician, a harbor security officer, or a park ranger.
Design Notes
One of the earlier 'City' torsos to include arm printing, which was a premium feature for non-licensed themes at the time.
Similar Minifigures
City Firefighters (2010-2012), Coast Guard members, and standard Police Officers with ID badges.
Collectibility
Low; primarily sought by MOC builders for 'army building' security staff or park personnel rather than high-end collectors.
History
Released during the 'City Forest' wave which transitioned City sets from urban environments to more rural, specialized service roles.
Interesting Facts
The ID badge print is so small that the silhouette on the card is technically a 'minifigure of a minifigure'.
Display Suggestions
Best utilized in a City fire station or a forest-themed diorama. Looks excellent when grouped with several identical guards.
Modification Potential
Excellent. The black specialized torso is perfect for custom SWAT, security, or technician-style minifigures.
Overall Assessment
This is a torso fragment of a 2010-era City worker. While not valuable, the arm printing makes it a superior detail piece for City life builds.
