Design Notes
This torso is a classic design for female beach-goers of the era, predating the more complex 'Friends' or modern City aesthetic.
Similar Minifigures
cty0095 (Beach Girl with alternate hair), cty0054 (Beach Boy), and various early Mermaids.
Collectibility
Moderate to low; mostly of interest to completionists of the 2000s LEGO City era or those building beach MOCs.
History
Represents the transition period where LEGO City began introducing more specific civilian outfits beyond standard uniforms.
Interesting Facts
The shell bikini torso (part 973px476) is one of the few 'swimwear' designs that LEGO reused across multiple sub-themes including Town and early Paradisa-style revivals.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a beach or poolside diorama alongside the 7639 Camper or a Lego City harbor.
Modification Potential
The plain white legs are an easy swap for longer legs or skirts; the torso is frequently used for custom mermaid or vacationer figures.
Overall Assessment
A charming, nostalgic City figure that perfectly captures the simple design language of the mid-2000s LEGO Town era.
