Theme
City
Year Released
Released in 2008 as part of the City Police wave; specifically debuted in the 7744 Police Headquarters set.
Rarity
Uncommon. While part of a flagship set, this specific torso/head combination was less mass-produced than standard officers.
Head
Yellow head with a grimacing/determined expression, white teeth, stubble/five o-clock shadow, and black eyes with pupils.
Torso
Tan shirt with two pockets, a silver police badge, a radio with cord, and a brown utility belt. Includes tan arms and yellow hands.
Legs
Plain dark blue legs with no printing.
Accessories
As pictured, it lacks accessories, but originally would include a police cap or a prisoner's hat depending on set context.
Color Scheme
Tan, dark blue, and yellow. Includes metallic silver highlights for the badge and radio mesh.
Printing Details
Detailed pad printing on the torso front; the badge and radio cord show crisp lines, though the tan base is prone to looking 'thin' over yellow plastic.
Variants
Several similar figures exist with different leg colors (sand green or tan) or without the stubble on the face.
Condition Notes
Heavy scratching visible on legs; dust accumulation in the neck and arm pits. Torso shows some discoloration/fading common in late 2000s tan plastic.
Estimated Value
$2.00 - $4.00 USD used. In this scratched condition, it would likely value on the lower end ($1.50).
Price (New)
Included in set 7744 which retailed for $99.99 in 2008.
Compatible Sets
7744 Police Headquarters (2008).
Character Background
A generic law enforcement officer or undercover operative typical of the late 2000s LEGO City aesthetic.
Design Notes
This figure reflects the transition from 'classic' smiling faces to the more detailed, expressive 'stubble' faces that defined the mid-2000s City line.
Similar Minifigures
cty0013 Police Officer, cty0088 Forest Police, and various World City-era generic officers.
Collectibility
Low to Moderate; mainly sought after by those looking to complete the 7744 headquarters set or building out a large city department.
History
Represented a shift toward more 'realistic' police uniforms (tan/khaki) before City Police returned largely to blue and black.
Interesting Facts
The head print used here was very common for 'crook' characters in this era, making this tan-shirt version appear somewhat like a corrupt or rough-around-the-edges officer.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for a police station MOC or a city-life diorama behind a desk; pair with a modern motorcycle for a traffic patrol look.
Modification Potential
Excellent for custom army building or civilian characters; the tan torso is neutral enough for desert explorers or mechanics.
Overall Assessment
A solid, classic City figure with some wear. Good for play or filling out a scene, but not a high-value collector's piece.
