Year Released
First released in 2017. It appeared prominently in the 10255 Assembly Square set celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Modular Buildings line.
Rarity
Common to Uncommon. While the individual parts are not rare, this specific assembly is highly associated with a high-priced adult collector set.
Head
Standard yellow head with black eyebrows, white pupils, and a wide-grinning open mouth showing teeth and a tongue. This face print is very common in City and Creator sets.
Torso
White torso with a pattern of horizontal red stripes; the back is typically unprinted or matches the front pattern. It features white arms and yellow hands.
Legs
Plain blue legs (standard height), no printing.
Accessories
Red short-brimmed baseball cap. In the Assembly Square set, he is often depicted with a camera or a pastry (pie).
Color Scheme
A classic primary color palette consisting of Bright Red, Bright Blue, and White with Yellow skin tones.
Printing Details
Pad printing on the torso is clean with crisp line definition for the stripes. The head print is the standard high-quality LEGO modern print with pupil highlights.
Variants
The torso with red stripes is a staple part and has appeared with different leg colors (tan, black) and different headpieces in various City and Juniors sets.
Condition Notes
The white torso is prone to yellowing if exposed to UV light. The red cap is made of a slightly different plastic than the head and can show bite marks or stress whitening easily.
Estimated Value
Used: $2.00 - $4.00 USD; New: $5.00 - $7.00 USD. The value remains low due to the high availability of the constituent parts.
Price (New)
N/A (Derived from set 10255 retailing at $299.99 or small City polybags).
Compatible Sets
10255 Assembly Square, 60153 People Pack - Fun at the Beach (as a variant), and various City Starter Sets.
Character Background
This is a generic 'Everyman' character designed to populate a bustling LEGO city. In Assembly Square, he acts as a visitor to the modular street.
Design Notes
The red-striped shirt is a nod to the classic 'Where's Waldo/Wally' aesthetic or traditional nautical wear, making it a versatile piece for city dioramas.
Similar Minifigures
cty0746 (female version with same shirt), cty0683 (classic red/white stripe with blue cap).
Collectibility
Moderate. Collectors of Modular Buildings usually want him to complete their 10255 set, but he is not a high-value chase figure.
History
The red-striped torso was introduced as a modern update to the vintage classic stripes from the 1980s and 90s Town themes.
Interesting Facts
This specific figure graphic is shown on the '1:1' scale reference on the side of many set boxes, making him one of the most 'seen' but least 'named' characters in current LEGO packaging.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a city environment, specifically near a park bench, ice cream stand, or the 10255 Assembly Square modular building.
Modification Potential
High. The torso is an excellent base for 'purist' customs of characters involving striped shirts (e.g., retro sailors or casual citizens).
Overall Assessment
A quintessential LEGO City representative. While not rare, it is a perfect example of modern LEGO City design: simple, clean, and cheerful.
