Rarity
Uncommon; while the torso and head were used in City and Adventurers-style sets, the specific combination and the popularity of the aviator cap make it a nostalgic find for collectors.
Head
Yellow head with black eyes, thin eyebrows, and a large white handlebar moustache. This is the classic 'Old Style' moustache print often associated with vintage pilots or sea captains.
Torso
Reddish brown torso featuring an aviator-style bomber jacket print; includes a yellowish-white fur collar (shearling style), a printed belt with a buckle, and pocket details on the chest.
Legs
Plain dark tan legs without printing. The hip piece is the same dark tan color, providing a cohesive utilitarian look common for 2010-era City figures.
Accessories
Includes a reddish brown aviator/pilot helmet with movable light bluish gray goggles piece. The goggles can be flipped up or down over the eyes.
Color Scheme
A rugged palette of Reddish Brown, Dark Tan, and Yellow, accented by the light gray of the goggles and the white of the moustache.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front only for this specific 2011 version). The fur collar has a stippled texture effect to simulate wool.
Variants
Similar pilot torsos exist with back printing in later years; some versions feature a reddish-brown moustache or are paired with different leg colors like light gray or tan.
Condition Notes
The light gray goggles are prone to becoming loose over time. Check for stress marks on the side of the helmet where the goggle pegs insert.
Estimated Value
Used: $3.00 - $6.00 USD; New/Mint: $8.00 - $12.00 USD. Value is driven primarily by the aviator helmet/goggles assembly.
Price (New)
Originally available in City sets ranging from $19.99 (4642) to $79.99 (7208). As a standard City figure, it did not have a separate individual MSRP.
Compatible Sets
7208 Fire Station (2010 version), 4642 Fishing Boat, and various City accessory packs from the early 2010s.
Character Background
A generic City pilot often associated with sea-planes or transport helicopters. The white moustache gives him a 'Veteran Pilot' or instructor aesthetic.
Design Notes
The aviator helmet is a beloved piece from the LEGO Pirates/Adventurers era that transitioned perfectly into modern City aviation sub-themes.
Similar Minifigures
Adventurers Baron Von Barron, City Coast Guard Pilots, and the Series 3 Collectible Minifigure Pilot.
Collectibility
Moderate. It is a staple for those building MOC airports or historical hangers, but is not a 'grail' figure for high-end investors.
History
Represents the refinement of the City theme in the early 2010s where character expressions moved slightly beyond the basic 'smiley' face while retaining classic charm.
Interesting Facts
The torso print is a direct spiritual successor to the jackets worn by the 1990s LEGO Adventurers characters, particularly Johnny Thunder's associates.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed next to a small propeller plane or in a vintage flight school scene. Use a trans-clear bar to pose him mid-flight.
Modification Potential
Excellent for Indiana Jones customs or steampunk MOCs due to the neutral but detailed leather jacket design.
Overall Assessment
A charming and highly functional figure that captures the 'Golden Age of Flight' aesthetic perfectly within the LEGO City system.
