Rarity
Common. This figure appeared in a highly accessible starter set, making it widely available in the secondary market.
Head
Yellow skin, silver glasses with black frames, slight smile, and stubble printing. It is topped with a light bluish gray beard accessory (6132) and a red hard hat.
Torso
Orange safety vest over a blue shirt with a printed silver ID badge and tan reflectors. Light blue arms and yellow hands.
Legs
Plain orange legs without printing (Standard size).
Accessories
Includes a light bluish gray beard, a yellow 1x1 round brick (likely representing a level or tool), and a black jackhammer tool.
Color Scheme
Primary orange and bright blue with red accents from the hat and yellow skin tones.
Printing Details
Standard City-level printing on the torso (front and back). Clear lines on the ID badge and zipper for the era.
Variants
The torso and head are used across many City sets; the specific combination with the wrap-around beard makes this specific ID.
Condition Notes
Watch for 'beard sag' where the accessory loosens over time, and silver paint wear on the glasses printing.
Estimated Value
Used: $1.50 - $2.50 USD; New: $3.00 - $4.00 USD. Value is driven by utility for City MOCs rather than rarity.
Price (New)
Originally part of City Starter Set 60072, which retailed for approximately $9.99 USD.
Compatible Sets
Primary set: 60072 (Demolition Starter Set) released in 2015.
Character Background
An unnamed demolition expert or construction worker within the LEGO City universe, typical of the 2015 'Demolition' sub-theme.
Design Notes
The use of the 'Santa-style' beard in light gray for a construction worker was a creative way to add character to generic City figures.
Similar Minifigures
Other figures from the 60072 set, including the female welder (cty0535) and other City construction workers with orange safety gear.
Collectibility
Low to Moderate. Good for army building or populating a City layout, but not a high-value investment piece.
History
Represents the mid-2010s era of City design where specialized accessories (like the beard) became more common in low-priced starter sets.
Interesting Facts
The torso print includes an ID card that features a tiny minifigure head silhouette, a meta-detail common in City sets.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed with heavy machinery sets like the 60075 Excavator or 60076 Demolition Site.
Modification Potential
High. Parts are standard; the beard can be reused for old man characters or fantasy dwarves in other themes.
Overall Assessment
A classic, charming LEGO City figure that perfectly captures the aesthetic of the 2015 Demolition wave. Excellent for play and diorama building.
