Character Background
Snake Rattler is a recurring antagonist in the LEGO City Adventures TV series. He is characterized as a rough-and-tumble outlaw with a penchant for high-stakes robberies.
Design Notes
The use of the peg leg (part 20495) adds significant character flavor compared to standard City crooks. The mismatching hands signify a leather glove on one hand.

Introduced in 2020 as part of the shift toward named characters in the LEGO City theme to align with animated media.
Interesting Facts
The prisoner ID '86753' is a likely reference to the song '867-5309/Jenny'. The peg leg piece was originally popularized in the Pirates and Ninjago themes.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed with his signature black Stetson hat and placed in a jail cell vignette from set 60246.
Modification Potential
The peg leg and eye-patch head are highly desirable for MOC building in the Pirates or Steampunk genres.
Overall Assessment
A well-designed City villain that stands out due to specialized parts like the peg leg. A solid addition for any City collector at an affordable price.
