Hi all, you were so fabulous last time I had an identifiable minifigure, I wondered
whether I could ask for your help again.

Found this one in the bottom of a box. Not sure whether the hair is the original
hair. Face looks a little bit worn. Is it Lego or a Lego lookalike? Legs look
the same as Lego at the back with the circles cut out.

Did the usual searches on everywhere and can't find anything like it ...
anybody come across this one before?

I wouldn’t even want to know what minifig it is.
I hope you will not do anything else other than keeping it or throw it away.
You call that face looks ‘a liitle bit worn’, it is in very bad shape, there
is a dent on the torso and a few on the legs.
I hope you see the problems with this minifig.

Plus the legs look damaged due to the big gap at the hips and there is some unusual
flashing on the left arm at the wrist.

Wasn't going to do anything with it was just interested in finding out what
it was. But thanks for your help in trying to identify it.

BTW, try using the search feature for unknown Minifigs before posting on the
Forum - I searched "Fire Sunglasses" and this was the first entry that
appeared.

It might be the angle but the torso looks very rounded at the shoulders.

I don't recognize the torso print. The first step is always take the head
off and look for the logo on the top of the neck.

The left arm, where the left hand is plugged in, is showing a ragged fringe.
I think that is a knockoff mold. Also, the left leg is fully installed, but
sticking out past the hips on the outside. LEGO legs are flush when fully installed.

I'd take a look at the neck and see if there is a Lego logo stamped on top.
It doesn't look like Lego to me.

Do any of the parts have the LEGO logo on them? This means you wold have to take
apart the minifigure to check.

That minifgure looks very tired out to me, but at least he's still smiling
about his ordeal.

If any of his parts are not LEGO, they cannot be sold on this site.

If it is the case that some parts are LEGO with others that are not LEGO, you
have the option to part it out and sell the individual parts that are LEGO separately,
and send the rest to either a recycling center that takes plastic toys or to
a charity. If placed in a waste bin it would become landfill, which is not exactly
ideal for plastics.

I hope that helps.

Cheers ...

Agreed. The flash on the hands is enough to tell me it’s not Lego quality.

It doesn't look like genuine LEGO. The head looks too tall to be a LEGO minifigure
and the hips, legs, and torso don't line up properly.
