Theme
Hidden Side
Year Released
2019
Rarity
Uncommon. While the character Jack Davids is the protagonist and appears in many sets, this specific construction worker disguise is limited to only two release contexts, making it harder to find than his standard hoodie versions.
Head
Standard yellow minifigure head with dual-sided printing. One side features a confident smirk with brown eyebrows; the reverse side typically features a scared/surprised expression. Note that this specific figure is missing his signature hood/hair piece in the image.
Torso
Blue sweater base with orange construction overalls printed on the front. Printing includes silver reflective strips, brown straps with buckles, a pen in a chest pocket, and a dark blue ribbed collar detail. Back printing features the continuation of the overall straps.
Legs
Solid bright orange unprinted legs. These match the orange of the printed overalls on the torso to create a cohesive uniform look.
Accessories
Missing in image. Originally came with a white 'beanie with hoodie' hair piece, a smartphone (printed 1x2 tile), and sometimes clear neon-yellow 'ghost-catching' elements or a bone for his ghost dog, Spencer.
Color Scheme
Primary colors are Azure Blue and Bright Orange. These high-visibility colors are thematic for a construction site and contrast with the darker, 'spooky' tones of the Hidden Side theme.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing. The torso features intricate metallic silver ink for the safety stripes which catch the light. Alignment between the torso print and the leg color is generally excellent for this era of production.
Variants
There are over 10 variants of Jack Davids. This version (hs050) is the undercover construction worker. Other versions include his standard red hoodie, white hoodie, diving gear, and racing suit.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include the silver printing on the torso which can scratch off with play. The orange legs are prone to visible bite marks or 'stress whitening' at the hip joints. The hands in the image (Light Bluish Gray) appear to be somewhat loose or slightly chewed.
Estimated Value
Current market value for a used complete version is approximately $3.00 - $5.00 USD. In the condition shown (missing hair/hat and accessories), the value is approximately $1.50 - $2.00 USD.

This figure was included in set 70419 (Wrecked Shrimp Boat) which retailed for $29.99 USD, and set 70425 (Newbury Haunted High School) retailing for $129.99.

Character Background
Jack Davids is the main protagonist of the Hidden Side theme, a vlogger who moves to the town of Newbury and discovers it is haunted. He uses an augmented reality app on his phone to see and capture ghosts.
Design Notes
The torso is a clever reuse of a classic construction aesthetic but modernized with better color layering. It represents a 'disguise' element of the Hidden Side storyline where the heroes blend into the environment.
Similar Minifigures
Emmet Brickowski (The LEGO Movie), generic City Construction Workers, and other members of the Hidden Side team like Parker L. Jackson.
Collectibility
Moderate. Collectors of the Hidden Side theme seek all versions of Jack, but since the theme was discontinued after a short run, supply is fixed. It is a niche item rather than a high-value investment piece.
History
Released in the debut year of Hidden Side (2019), a theme that attempted to bridge physical play with a digital AR app. This figure represents the peak of LEGO's experimental 'Phygital' era.
Interesting Facts
The smartphone accessory usually paired with this figure features a printed ghost on the screen, reflecting the actual gameplay of the mobile app associated with the sets.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a construction MOC or alongside the Wrecked Shrimp Boat set. Use a 1x2 tile with a phone print to complete the look.
Modification Potential
Excellent for City MOCs. The blue sweater/orange overall torso is versatile for any harbor or dock worker scene without looking explicitly 'fantasy' or 'supernatural'.
Overall Assessment
A solid, well-printed figure from a short-lived but creative theme. While the figure in the image is incomplete (missing the hat/hair), the torso remains a high-quality part for builders and completionist collectors.
