Year Released
2017: This figure debuted in the 60146 Stunt Truck set during a period when LEGO City focused on high-action extreme sports vehicles.
Rarity
Common: It was widely available in a budget-friendly 'Great Vehicles' set and was in production for several years.
Head
Standard yellow skin tone with a cocky, confident smirk and glasses/goggles printing. It is topped with a teal (Dark Turquoise) racing helmet with a chin strap detail.
Torso
Teal arms with purple hands. The torso is white with a complex racing suit print featuring teal and purple panels, gold stars, and a circular central logo with a star.
Legs
White legs with a purple hip joint. Printing includes teal and purple stripes that continue the racing suit aesthetic and gold 'kneepad' or belt hardware details.
Accessories
Usually paired with the Stunt Truck vehicle. Most copies of this figure do not come with handheld accessories, though a trophy or wrench are often thematic additions.
Color Scheme
A vibrant 90s-inspired palette of Dark Turquoise (Teal), Purple, White, and Gold accents.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing typical of the late 2010s. The detail on the torso aligns well with the hip piece and continues seamlessly onto the legs.
Variants
There is a very similar version in the 'City Stuntz' line (2021) which features similar colors but more modern armor printing and updated leg designs.
Condition Notes
Watch for 'arm cracks' on the teal torso and fading of the gold printing on the knees, which is prone to abrasion from play.
Estimated Value
Used: $2.00 - $4.00 USD. New/Mint: $5.00 - $7.00 USD. It is not a high-value investment piece due to high supply.
Price (New)
Originally available in set 60146 which retailed for $9.99 USD.
Compatible Sets
60146 (Stunt Truck), 60152 (Sweeper & Excavator - as a cameo driver in some regions).
Character Background
While not explicitly named on the box, many fans view this as a legacy nod to 'Rocket Racer,' the antagonist from the 1999 LEGO Racing video game, due to the color scheme.
Design Notes
The use of Dark Turquoise (Teal) was relatively fresh at the time of release, as the color had just been brought back into LEGO's active palette.
Similar Minifigures
Rocket Racer (LR001), City Stunt Pilot (cty1459), and various Xtreme Team collectors' figures from the early 2000s.
Collectibility
Low to Moderate. It is a great 'completionist' figure for City fans but does not hold significant investment potential.
History
Represents the evolution of the 'Stunt' sub-themes, bridging the gap between the old 'Xtreme Team' and the modern 'City Stuntz' flywheel-powered range.
Interesting Facts
The star logo on the chest is a direct stylistic descendant of the 1990s 'Octan' and 'Racing' team logos, maintaining a 'Classic City' DNA.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed next to generic race cars, monster trucks, or in a stadium MOC using bright LED lighting to catch the gold printing.
Modification Potential
The torso is excellent for custom 'Space' themed figures or superhero costumes due to the unique color blocking.
Overall Assessment
A solid, well-printed City figure with a great color palette. It scores high on aesthetics but low on rarity. A perfect 'pocket money' figure.
