Theme
Speed Champions
Year Released
2017 - Released as part of the McLaren Mercedes Pit Stop set, coinciding with the era of complex Technic and Speed Champions collaboration.
Rarity
Uncommon. While not a limited convention exclusive, it was exclusive to a single, high-priced set that was retired relatively quickly compared to standard City sets.
Head
Yellow head with female facial features, neutral expression, and thin eyebrows. Topped with a Black Flat Cap (Cabbie Hat / Newsie Cap).
Torso
Dark Blue torso with McLaren Speedmark logo on left chest, orange zipper and collar detail, and a repeating hexagonal mesh pattern. Back is plain dark blue.
Legs
Dark Green legs with yellow pinstripe printing on the sides to match the McLaren team aesthetic. Features light printing for pockets or fabric folds.
Accessories
Standard figure includes the Black Flat Cap. In the original set, she is associated with logistics tools like a computer station or trolley, though none are pictured.
Color Scheme
Primary Dark Blue and Dark Green with accents of Orange and Yellow. This specific combination reflects the McLaren logistical team colors from the mid-2010s.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on torso and legs. The side-leg printing is a premium touch for the Speed Champions line, though common for licensed car themes to ensure team accuracy.
Variants
There are no major printing variants, but the male counterpart in the same set (sc039) shares the same torso but has a different head and hair.
Condition Notes
The Dark Green legs are prone to showing small white stress marks if the hip joint is tight. The delicate orange pinstripe on the legs can wear away from heavy play.
Estimated Value
Used: $4.00 - $7.00; New/Mint: $8.00 - $12.00. Value has remained stable since the set's retirement.
Price (New)
Included in Set 75881 (McLaren Mercedes Pit Stop) which originally retailed for $29.99 in the US. The user mention of a $500 set likely refers to current reseller markup of the larger 75883 set ($250-$300+) or a different Formula 1 set.
Compatible Sets
75881 Speed Champions: McLaren Mercedes Pit Stop (2017).
Character Background
A generic logistics or team management staff member representing the operational side of Formula 1 racing, specifically supporting the McLaren-Honda or McLaren-Mercedes partnership era.
Design Notes
The torso uses a highly detailed mesh texture that was a significant step up in realism for the Speed Champions theme, moving away from more simplified 'classic' LEGO prints.
Similar Minifigures
sc039 McLaren Team Member (Male), sc106 McLaren Racing Team Member, and various Ferrari or Mercedes pit crew members from the 2015-2020 Speed Champions era.
Collectibility
Moderate. Speed Champions completionists often seek out the full crew for their garage MOCs. It is desirable for its unique Dark Blue/Dark Green color combo.
History
Part of the third wave of Speed Champions. This era marked LEGO's shift toward highly detailed licensed racing suits rather than generic 'Racing' logos.
Interesting Facts
The Dark Green legs are a relatively rare color choice for non-forest or non-military minifigures, making the parts useful for custom character builders.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a 1:29 scale garage MOC or standing next to the 75881 McLaren car. Use a clear acrylic case to protect the side-leg printing from oils.
Modification Potential
Excellent for custom 'modern' city residents or logistics workers. The torso is frequently used for custom DHL or industrial worker MOCs due to its professional logo placement.
Overall Assessment
A solid, well-detailed licensed figure. While not the 'star' of the set, its unique color palette and clean printing make it a high-quality addition to any racing-themed collection.
Notes
This came from a $500 Lego set
