Display Suggestions
Best displayed next to the orange Vita Rush car from set 60256 or in a racing pit lane diorama with other Octane figures.
Modification Potential
Excellent for custom racing MOCs. The torso can be used for any orange-themed sports crew or uniform.
Overall Assessment
A solid, bright, and thematic City figure. While not financially valuable, it has great 'play' value and contributes to the lore of LEGO's in-house brands.
