Theme
Stranger Things
Year Released
2019 (Released as part of set 75810 The Upside Down)
Rarity
Uncommon to Rare. While the set was a mass-market D2C (Direct to Consumer) release, as of 2024 it is retired, making individual figures from the set increasingly hard to find.
Head
Missing in image. Usually features Steve Harrington's distinct thick brown hair mold and a double-sided flesh-toned head with confident and frightened expressions.
Torso
White torso with blue horizontal stripes. Features a sailor-style 'Scoops Ahoy' collar with a dark blue knotted scarf. Arms are flesh-toned with short white sleeves printed on the top; yellow hands.
Legs
Dark blue (Navy) legs without printing; dark blue hip piece.
Accessories
Missing in image. Typically includes a white sailor hat (Dixie cup style) and an ice cream sundae or a flashlight.
Color Scheme
A nautical palette of White, Dark Blue, and Medium Blue stripes, accented by Light Flesh skin tones and Yellow LEGO hands.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso. The stripes are crisp and wrap cleanly around the front. The collar and scarf print is sharp, utilizing dark blue ink on white plastic.
Variants
This is the only official LEGO version of Steve in his sailor uniform. Other variants of Steve exist in different themes (like modern fan-customs), but this is the sole official LEGO release.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include neck-stud stress marks. The white torso is prone to showing dirt or light scratches more easily than darker colors. Hands are yellow, which is standard but sometimes prone to bite marks.
Estimated Value
$40.00 - $65.00 USD for a complete figure. In the current state (torso/legs/hands only), the value is approximately $15.00 - $20.00 USD.
Price (New)
$199.99 (Original retail price of the set 75810, which contained 8 minifigures).

Character Background
Steve Harrington is a main character from Netflix's Stranger Things. This specific outfit represents his job at the 'Scoops Ahoy' ice cream parlor in the Starcourt Mall during Season 3.
Design Notes
The use of short-sleeve printing (flesh arms with white top sections) was a premium touch for the time. The hair mold was specifically selected or modified to capture the character's signature 80s volume.
Similar Minifigures
Robin Buckley (st003) who shares the same sailor-themed uniform, or other figures from the 75810 set such as Dustin Henderson.
Collectibility
High. Stranger Things sets are currently retired and the single-set nature of this theme makes every unique character highly desirable for completionists.
History
This minifigure was a milestone as it represented LEGO's first foray into more mature-oriented streaming service content (Netflix), released during the peak of the show's popularity.
Interesting Facts
Despite the show being darker in tone, the 'Scoops Ahoy' Steve is one of the most 'cheerful' looking figures in the wave. The name tag on the torso is too small for text but indicated by a small printed rectangle.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed inside a custom 'Starcourt Mall' MOC or alongside Robin Buckley. Keep out of direct sunlight to prevent the white torso from yellowing.
Modification Potential
The torso and legs are excellent for custom 'Sailor' or 'Navy' MOCs. The short-sleeve arms are highly sought after for creating custom casual-wear minifigures.
Overall Assessment
9/10 Quality. A fantastic representation of a fan-favorite character. This specific specimen is currently a 'work in progress' as it is missing the critical head, hair, and hat pieces.
