Man, Blue Torso, White Legs, Light Bluish Grey Hair

This minifigure represents Al the Barber from the acclaimed LEGO Creator Expert Detective's Office (set 10246). Instantly recognizable by his dapper blue-and-white striped vest, crisp white shirt collar, and bright red bow tie, Al operates the nostalgic barbershop situated on the ground floor of the classic modular building.

Minifigure collectors and modular town builders prize this figure for his exclusive torso print, which perfectly evokes a vintage mid-century tradesperson aesthetic. Paired with the timeless classic LEGO yellow grin and slicked-back light bluish gray hair, he remains one of the most characterful civilians in the entire Modular Buildings collection.

Condition is paramount for collectors, as the white legs and light torso printing can easily show play wear or scuffing if handled frequently outside display environments.

Appearing in only one set—the 2015 Detective's Office (10246)—this minifigure is technically exclusive. The set enjoyed a standard production run until retiring in late 2019, but because Modular Buildings are largely bought by adult collectors who keep sets intact, loose copies of Al the Barber are relatively scarce on the aftermarket.

Minifigures from retired LEGO Modular Buildings consistently maintain strong secondary market demand. Because complete modular sets appreciate substantially post-retirement, individual minifigures like Al benefit from buyers looking to replace lost figures or town builders seeking authentic vintage modular civilians for custom city layouts.

While generic civilian figures generally hold modest ceilings compared to licensed superheroes or Star Wars icons, Al's single-set exclusivity and connection to a flagship Creator Expert release give him solid long-term stability.
