Year Released
Mixed parts (range roughly 2012-2023)
Rarity
Unique (Custom Assembly). While individual parts may be common, the combination and third-party accessories are specific to the creator.
Head
Yellow LEGO head with smirk, eyepatch, and headset/microphone printing (Likely from LEGO City or Dino themes, e.g., part 3626cpb0704). Features a Tan Tactical Helmet probably by BrickArms or Brickmania with attached Night Vision Goggles (NVG).
Torso
Plain Blue LEGO torso and arms with Yellow hands. It is obscured by a Tan Tactical Plate Carrier / Ballistic Vest accessory from a third-party vendor like BrickArms, SI-DAN, or Battle Brick.
Legs
Plain Blue LEGO unprinted legs (Part 970c00). Standard 2x2 stud hip connection.
Accessories
Includes a black modern tactical rifle (likely a BrickArms M4 or HK416 variant), a Tan tactical vest with pouch detailing, and a Tan helmet with quad-eye Night Vision Goggles. A small tan briefcase or equipment box is held in the right hand.
Color Scheme
A 'Blue Collar' or 'Security' aesthetic: Blue and Yellow base (traditional LEGO palette) contrasted with Tan and Black tactical gear (realistic/military palette).
Printing Details
Head printing only; the character detail is provided by the physical 'over-mold' accessories rather than torso or leg printing. This is a common style for purist/semi-purist military builders.
Variants
Infinite variants exist as this is a modular custom; the head choice (eyepatch) suggests a specific veteran or mercenary character archetype.
Condition Notes
Look for clutch power on third-party accessories; some non-LEGO plastic can stress official LEGO neck or hand joints. Check the head for print fading/wear common on play-sets.
Estimated Value
Market value is the sum of parts: ~$2 for LEGO parts, ~$5-8 for high-quality third-party tactical gear. Total estimated: $8.00 - $12.00 USD.
Price (New)
N/A - Not sold as a set. Individual accessories typically retail for $1.00 - $2.50 per piece from custom vendors.
Compatible Sets
Fits perfectly with custom military vehicles (MOCs), Brickmania kits, or LEGO City Police/Undercover scenes.
Character Background
Likely an original character created for a 'Modern Warfare' or 'Tactical' diorama. The blue outfit could represent a pilot, a technician in a combat zone, or a high-security operative.
Design Notes
Uses a 'Purist+' approach—combining official LEGO base figures with precision-molded third-party weapons and gear to achieve a realism LEGO's official 'no modern military' policy prevents.
Similar Minifigures
Brickmania custom soldiers, United Bricks printed figures, or official LEGO figures like 'Ultra Agents' or 'Galaxy Squad' which feature heavy armor.
Collectibility
Low for purist collectors; High for military MOC enthusiasts. Value is subjective based on the brand of the accessories (e.g., BrickArms vs. generic knock-offs).
History
Reflects the 2010s-present trend of AFOLs (Adult Fans of LEGO) augmenting standard figures with realistic military hardware from third-party manufacturers.
Interesting Facts
The NVG attachment on the helmet is one of the most popular 'tacticool' accessories in the custom community, often modeled after the real-world GPNVG-18 used by Navy SEALs.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside a custom Tan Humvee or Little Bird helicopter MOC. Best viewed on a desert or urban-themed baseplate.
Modification Potential
Maximum. The base blue figure can be swapped for camouflage-printed parts from vendors like Citizen Brick or TMC to increase realism.
Overall Assessment
A well-assembled custom figure using high-quality aftermarket tactical gear on a classic LEGO base. It represents a hobbyist's bridge between a child's toy and a military scale model.
