Theme
World City
Year Released
2003 - Released during the transition phase from the classic Town theme to the more specialized World City line.
Rarity
Uncommon. While not a limited convention exclusive, she appeared in a specific era of World City that lasted only two years, making her harder to find in mint condition than modern City figures.
Head
Yellow classic skin tone. Features a female face with wrap-around black sunglasses and a confident, slight smirk. Topped with a distinctive Dark Pink (Magenta) bob-cut hair piece.
Torso
Black police suit jacket over a white shirt and dark blue tie. Features a gold 6-pointed star badge on the left side and a utility pocket on the right. Plain back printing.
Legs
Plain black legs with a black hip piece. No additional printing or detailing.
Accessories
In set 7035, she is equipped with a translucent neon-orange chainsaw and a grey briefcase. In the image shown, she is presented as a standalone figure.
Color Scheme
Primary: Black. Accents: Yellow (hands/face) and Magenta (hair). This stark contrast was a hallmark of early 2000s LEGO character design.
Printing Details
Pad-printed details. The torso features standard early-2000s line work for the lapels and badge. The head print for the sunglasses is thick and opaque.
Variants
There are minor hair color variations in later 'city' iterations, but this specific Magenta-haired version is unique to the World City launch era.
Condition Notes
The Magenta hair piece is prone to surface scuffing which shows white marks. The torso print, specifically the gold badge, can rub off if handled frequently.
Estimated Value
Used Complete: $5.00 - $12.00 USD. New/Mint: $15.00 - $25.00 USD. Value is rising slightly due to the nostalgia for the World City era.
Price (New)
Originally included in set 7035 (Police HQ) which retailed for approximately $50.00 USD in 2003.
Compatible Sets

Character Background
Miss Demeanor is one of the early named 'villains' in the LEGO Police sub-themes. Despite her name, she is often depicted as a high-tech thief or corporate saboteur rather than a petty criminal.
Design Notes
The choice of magenta hair was a bold departure from the standard yellow, black, and brown hair pieces of the 90s, signaling LEGO's shift toward more 'extreme' and colorful character designs in the early 2000s.
Similar Minifigures
Lego City criminal 'Daisy Kaboom' from 2020, and the classic 'Alpha Team' agents who shared a similar aesthetic.
Collectibility
Moderate. She is a nostalgic favorite for those who grew up in the mid-2000s but is not an 'investment' piece like a Cloud City Boba Fett.
History
World City was the direct predecessor to the current 'LEGO City' theme. Miss Demeanor represented a shift toward character-driven play rather than generic town citizens.
Interesting Facts
Her name is a pun on the legal term 'Misdemeanor.' She was one of the first female antagonists in a LEGO theme that wasn't fantasy or space-based.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside other World City police vehicles (like the 7034 Surveillance Truck) to capture the early 2000s aesthetic. UV protected cases are recommended to prevent the Magenta hair from fading.
Modification Potential
The head and hair are excellent for custom 'Agent' or 'Modern Civilian' MOCs. The torso is a great generic suit for any city-based scene.
Overall Assessment
A quintessential example of the 2003-2004 LEGO design language. She is a solid 7/10 for collectors of Town/City history due to her unique hair and role as an early named villain.
