Clara the Criminal

Clara the Criminal is a fun and relatively accessible minifigure for LEGO City collectors. Her unique head print, featuring a black eyemask, gray lips, and a scar, gives her a distinct look that stands out from typical City minifigures. The combination of the leather jacket torso and the convict striped shirt adds to her character and makes her instantly recognizable as a 'bad guy'.

The fact that she only appears in one set adds to her collectibility. While the Elite Police Boat Transport set isn't particularly rare or expensive, it does mean that Clara isn't overly common. Collectors looking to complete their LEGO City police or criminal lineups will definitely want to add her to their collection.

Clara the Criminal's rarity is moderate. She appears in only one set, the Elite Police Boat Transport (60272-1), which was released in 2020 and has since been retired. While the set itself wasn't a limited edition or regional exclusive, the fact that it's retired means that new copies of the set, and therefore new Claras, are no longer being produced. Aftermarket availability is good, but prices may gradually increase as time goes on.

Clara the Criminal has some investment potential, although it's not exceptionally high. Her unique design and limited availability make her desirable to collectors of LEGO City minifigures, especially those who focus on police and criminal characters. As the Elite Police Boat Transport set becomes harder to find, the value of Clara is likely to appreciate modestly. Comparable minifigures, such as other uniquely designed LEGO City criminals, have shown steady value growth over time.
