Year Released
2019 - Debuted in set 75976 Watchpoint: Gibraltar during LEGO's brief partnership with Blizzard Entertainment.
Rarity
Uncommon to Rare - The Overwatch line was short-lived and discontinued prematurely due to controversies surrounding Blizzard, making these figures harder to find than standard licensed themes.
Head
Light Flesh head with white hair piece (Swept Back/Tousled style). Detailed visor print featuring orange translucent glow effect, blue and silver tactical mask, and mechanical details.
Torso
Dark Blue torso with white and light blue jacket printing. Features a '76' logo on the back, tactical straps, and a zipper design. Blue arms with red hands representing tactical gloves.
Legs
Dark Blue legs (flat silver/dark stone grey) with printing for tactical belt, knee pads, and utility pockets. The printing align with the torso's utility belt line.
Accessories
Missing in image. Originally includes a Heavy Pulse Rifle (brick-built using multiple parts) and a tactical visor attachment/transparent piece. This specific figure in the image is missing its weapon.
Color Scheme
Blue, White, Red, and Silver. These colors represent the character's American-themed tactical attire and the Overwatch organization's branding.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing with excellent registration. Includes back torso printing, front torso detail, and face mask printing that wraps slightly to the sides.
Variants
There are no official variants of this specific skin; however, a 'Jack Morrison' classic skin was planned but never mass-produced for standard retail in this scale.
Condition Notes
Common wear includes silver paint rubbing on the visor and torso scratching. The white hair piece can easily pick up dust or discoloration if not stored properly.
Estimated Value
$10 - $18 USD for used/complete. The figure in the image is missing accessories, lowering its value to approximately $7 - $10 USD.
Price (New)
Included in Set 75976 ($89.99 RRP). Given the set's piece count, the approximate value of the figure at launch was weighted significantly as it was a main protagonist.

Character Background
Soldier: 76 (Jack Morrison) is the former strike commander of Overwatch, now a vigilante seeking to bring those responsible for the organization's fall to justice.
Design Notes
Utilizes a modern hair mold and very specific tactical printing for the visor. The use of red hands effectively mimics his signature gloves without requiring dual-molded arms.
Similar Minifigures
Reaper (ow003), McCree (ow002), and various other Overwatch heroes. Visually similar to tactical City or Agents figures but with higher detail.
Collectibility
Moderate to High. Due to the cancellation of the Overwatch 2 sets, interest in the original 2019 wave has stayed consistent among Blizzard fans and gaming collectors.
History
Part of the initial 2019 launch. The Overwatch theme only lasted for one full wave and a few smaller sets before being shelved indefinitely.
Interesting Facts
The '76' on the back is a nod to his character name; it is one of the few LEGO figures to feature a numeric identifier so prominently as a core character design.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside Reaper to recreate their cinematic duel. Use a transparent 'action stand' to pose him mid-sprint using his 'Sprint' ability from the game.
Modification Potential
The head and hair are excellent for custom 'Old Man' superhero characters or sci-fi pilots/bounty hunters. The torso is popular for custom MOCs of tactical soldiers.
Overall Assessment
A well-executed translation of a complex video game character into brick form. It captures his grizzled, tactical aesthetic perfectly, though it loses value without his signature Pulse Rifle.
