Year Released
2020. Released during a transition period where Lego City began incorporating specific characters from the 'City Adventures' animated series.
Rarity
Uncommon. While part of the standard City line, this specific variant with the green jacket and red legs appeared in a limited number of sets relative to generic police officers.
Head
Classic yellow head with black dot eyes and a standard smile. It is covered by a black bandana/neck wrap accessory.
Torso
Bright green jacket over a light bluish-gray shirt. The printing features jacket lapels, pockets, and a silver 'S' pendant necklace belonging to the character Snake Rattler. Green arms with yellow hands.
Legs
Solid bright red legs with no printing. Standard adult minifigure height.
Accessories
Dark brown fedora (slouched hat) and a black bandana/scarf piece that fits over the neck peg.
Color Scheme
A vibrant mix of green, red, gray, and brown. This clashing color scheme is iconic to the 'Snake Rattler' character, intended to make him stand out as a flamboyant villain.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front and back). The 'S' necklace is a crisp silver metallic print. No printing on the legs or arms.
Variants
Several versions of Snake Rattler exist, including versions with different colored jackets (tan/brown) or different leg colors, reflecting his various disguises in the TV show.
Condition Notes
The black bandana piece can cause minor stress marks on the neck peg over time. The brown fedora is durable, but the silver printing on the torso necklace can fade with heavy play.
Estimated Value
$4.00 - $7.00 USD for used complete; $8.00 - $12.00 USD for new condition. Values are stable but not rapidly appreciating.
Price (New)
Commonly found in sets ranging from $20.00 to $40.00, such as the Police Highway Arrest set.

Character Background
Snake Rattler is a recurring antagonist in the 'LEGO City Adventures' TV series. Known as a smooth-talking, somewhat bumbling bandit with a Western-inspired aesthetic.
Design Notes
This figure successfully translates a cartoon character into brick form. The choice of the 'S' necklace on the torso print is a key design element that identifies him specifically as Snake Rattler rather than a generic crook.
Similar Minifigures
Vito (cty1154), Big Betty (cty1152), and various other named antagonists from the City Adventures line.
Collectibility
Moderate. Highly desirable for fans of the City Adventures show or those completing a 'Rogues Gallery' of LEGO City criminals.
History
Represents the shift in LEGO City from generic 'Crook' and 'Police' figures to named characters with distinct personalities and backstories starting in 2019/2020.
Interesting Facts
The character's name 'Snake Rattler' is a play on the rattlesnake, fitting his slippery outlaw persona. The hat mold used was originally popularized by the Adventurers theme.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for a high-speed chase scene featuring City police vehicles. Looks best when paired with his trademark motorcycle or getaway car.
Modification Potential
Great for Western MOCs (My Own Creations) or post-apocalyptic scavengers due to the bandana and fedora combination.
Overall Assessment
A solid 7/10 figure. It offers great personality and unique colors for a City-themed character, making it a standout addition to any modern Lego town collection.
