Year Released
2017: Released alongside the theatrical debut of The LEGO Batman Movie, representing the film's unique aesthetic.
Rarity
Uncommon: Exclusive to a single, medium-priced set. While not ultra-rare, its exclusivity makes it harder to find than Batman variants.
Head
Light Flesh dual-sided head. Side A features an angry/determined expression with glasses and a thick brown mustache. Side B features a surprised/scared expression.
Torso
Dark Brown suit jacket over a light blue shirt with a dark blue tie. Includes a printed gold GCPD police badge clipped to the belt line. Light flesh hands.
Legs
Dark Tan legs with dark brown coattail/jacket bottom printing on the hips and upper leg sections to match the torso.
Accessories
Missing in image. Originally included a 1x1 printed round tile 'GCPD' warrant/search light element and a walkie-talkie.
Color Scheme
Primary Dark Brown and Dark Tan. Accents of Light Blue and Gold. This earthy tone distinguishes this 'Civilian' version of Gordon.
Printing Details
High quality pad printing. Excellent alignment between the torso and the hip/leg coattail printing to create a seamless jacket effect.
Variants
This is the 'Film' version. Other variants include the classic comic version (sh043), the 'Dark Knight' version (sh596), and the younger GCPD version.
Condition Notes
The Dark Brown plastic is resilient, but check for coattail print rubbing at the hip joint. Ensure the neck isn't cracked from the head pressure.
Estimated Value
Used: $12 - $18 USD. New/Mint: $22 - $28 USD. Value is rising as LEGO Batman Movie sets are long retired.
Price (New)
Included in set 70908 The Scuttler, which retailed for $79.99 USD in 2017.
Compatible Sets
70908-1: The Scuttler.
Character Background
Commissioner of the Gotham City Police Department. In the LEGO Batman Movie, he is portrayed as slightly older and ready to retire, handing the reins to Barbara Gordon.
Design Notes
Features a unique hair piece (Part 25972) in Reddish Brown, specifically designed to capture the character's look in the animated film.
Similar Minifigures
sh325 Barbara Gordon, sh326 Dick Grayson, and the CMF Series 20 Gordon.
Collectibility
High. Completionists for The LEGO Batman Movie cast consider this a core figure as he is a primary supporting character.
History
Launched in the first wave of 2017 sets. This version is more stylized than the 2006 or 2012 versions, following the 'Minifigure as an actor' design philosophy.
Interesting Facts
This specific version of Gordon has a very thick mustache, which became a running visual gag in the film's promotional materials.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the Scuttler set or inside a custom GCPD office diorama. Looks best next to the Barbara Gordon (sh325) figure.
Modification Potential
The torso is excellent for custom 'Old Man' characters, detectives, or 1970s-era civilian MOCs due to the brown suit aesthetic.
Overall Assessment
A solid 8/10. Great printing and character-specific hair make it a standout for fans of the movie, despite being missing its original accessories.
