Year Released
2017 - Debuted in the 60153 People Pack - Fun at the Beach. This was during a period where LEGO increased the production of 'People Packs' to provide fans with high volumes of civilian minifigures.
Rarity
Common. It was widely available in a high-volume figure pack, though it is now discontinued as the set is retired.
Head
Yellow head with female features: black eyelashes, thin eyebrows, and a wide-open smile showing teeth. This head (part 3626cpb1016) is common to many City-themed female figures.
Torso
Dark Pink Tank Top featuring Orange horizontal stripes and a central logo of a grey shark in front of a sunset. Below the graphic is a printed brown belt with a silver buckle. Back printing includes the continuation of the stripes and belt.
Legs
Plain Black legs. Standard short-scale or full-scale hinge legs depending on the specific assembly, though this specific ID uses standard 970c00 legs.
Accessories
In its original set (60153), this figure was associated with a surfboard or a camera, though no accessories are present in the provided image.
Color Scheme
A vibrant palette of Dark Pink and Orange for the torso, contrasted with Yellow skin tones and solid Black legs.
Printing Details
Pad-printed torso with high detail on the shark logo and sunset. The stripes are aligned well with the side seams. Face print is standard high-quality LEGO pad printing.
Variants
The torso piece (973pb2746c01) appeared on figures with different hair/head combinations within the City and Juniors lines, but the specific cty0744 configuration is the most recognized.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include the side of the torso where arms rub against the pink print and the neck stud which can show friction marks. Yellowing is less common on these colors, but black legs attract visible dust/scratches.
Estimated Value
Used: $1.50 - $2.50 USD. New/Mint: $3.00 - $4.00 USD. Value is driven primarily by the unique shark-graphic torso.
Price (New)
Originally included in set 60153 which retailed for $39.99 USD. The set contained 15 minifigures, putting the cost-per-figure at roughly $2.66.
Compatible Sets
60153 People Pack - Fun at the Beach (2017).
Character Background
A civilian character intended to populate beach or harbor dioramas in a LEGO City layout. In the 'People Pack' context, she represents a tourist or local enjoying various water sports.
Design Notes
The shark logo on the torso is a stylistic nod to vintage 'Shark' graphics and the long-running LEGO City Coast Guard sub-themes. The use of dark pink stripes was a modern color choice for the 2017 wave.
Similar Minifigures
Other figures from the 60153 Fun at the Beach pack, and female beach-goers from the City 60163 Coast Guard Starter Set.
Collectibility
Moderate to Low. While not a high-value investment piece, it is highly sought after by 'MOC' (My Own Creation) builders looking to add realistic variety to city street or beach scenes.
History
Part of the first major wave of 'People Packs' (started in 2016) which revolutionized how collectors acquired large numbers of civilians without buying large buildings.
Interesting Facts
The shark logo on her shirt is a meta-reference to the various LEGO shark molds produced over the years, stylized to look like a surfing brand logo.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a beach diorama, on a boardwalk, or inside a beach-themed modular building. Pair with a surfboard or ice cream accessory.
Modification Potential
Excellent for purist customs. The torso can be repurposed for any modern female civilian, and the black legs are the most versatile part in the LEGO inventory.
Overall Assessment
A solid, well-designed civilian figure. While it lacks the 'wow' factor of a licensed movie character, the quality of the torso printing and the charm of the shark graphic make it a staple for City collectors.
