Year Released
2017 - Debuted in the 2017 Coast Guard sub-theme wave, specifically appearing in the 60167 Coast Guard Headquarters set. This era focused on highly detailed, utility-based printing for City characters.
Rarity
Uncommon - While not a limited edition, this specific torso/head combination was restricted to just two sets during the 2017-2018 run of the Coast Guard theme.
Head
Yellow head with thick black eyebrows, a smirk/lopsided grin, and a subtle chin dimple. He wears a Dark Tan baseball cap. The face print is a common City male head used for adventurous characters.
Torso
Orange torso with zipper, cargo pockets, a walkie-talkie printed on the left chest, and a green coiled rope with carabiner printed over the right shoulder. Dark Orange highlights provide depth to the jacket design.
Legs
Plain Dark Blue legs with a Dark Blue hip piece. No printing is present on the legs, which is typical for standard City-themed minifigures of this period.
Accessories
In its original set (60167), this figure is often associated with a orange life jacket (piece 91347), a red megaphone, or binoculars, though only the hat is pictured here.
Color Scheme
Primary Orange and Dark Blue. Accent colors include Dark Tan (hat), Bright Green (rope), and White/Silver (radio details). This is the classic 2017 Coast Guard livery.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front and back). The torso detail is quite dense including textured zipper lines and radio microphone mesh. Standard alignment with no limb printing.
Variants
The torso appears in several variations; some versions of this coast guard member have different head prints or different colored legs (such as light gray) depending on the set role.
Condition Notes
The Dark Blue legs are prone to visible scratches and 'scuffing.' The Orange plastic of the torso is generally durable but check for 'arm cracks' at the side seams and fading on the rope print.
Estimated Value
Used: $2.50 - $4.00 USD; New (taken from sealed set): $5.00 - $7.00 USD. The value is relatively low as it is a modern City figure with high production numbers.
Price (New)
This figure was part of the 60167 Coast Guard Headquarters ($119.99) and 60168 Sailboat Rescue ($29.99). It was never sold as a standalone blind-bag figure.
Compatible Sets
60167 Coast Guard Headquarters (2017), 60168 Sailboat Rescue (2017).
Character Background
An unnamed member of the LEGO City Coast Guard. These characters are depicted as the brave first responders who manage sea rescues, shark sightings, and boat fires in the LEGO City harbor.
Design Notes
The 2017 Coast Guard wave introduced the green rope print on the torso, which was a significant upgrade from the older, more simplistic 'life vest' prints of the 2013 and 2008 versions.
Similar Minifigures
cty0769 (Coast Guard female), cty0771 (Coast Guard with Life Vest), and other rescue personnel from the 2017 wave.
Collectibility
Moderate. It is essential for completionists looking to round out a 2017 City display, but it lacks the high investment potential of licensed themes like Star Wars or Marvel.
History
LEGO Coast Guard has been a recurring sub-theme since the late 1980s (Town). This 2017 version represents the 'Modern Era' of the sub-theme before it was replaced by general 'Ocean Exploration' waves.
Interesting Facts
The walkie-talkie printed on the torso is modeled after the actual physical LEGO walkie-talkie accessory piece 19220.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a dock-themed MOC or inside the 60167 Headquarters. Pairs perfectly with the Coast Guard 4x4 or rescue helicopter.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'Tactical' or 'Adventurer' MOCs. The torso print, if the 'Coast Guard' context is ignored, works well for a park ranger, hiker, or industrial worker.
Overall Assessment
A solid, well-detailed City figure that captures the 'Action-Rescue' aesthetic perfectly. While not a high-value collector's item, the printing quality on the torso stands out as some of the best in the 2017 City line.
