LEGO Minifigures Series 2 Traffic CopI picked up the LEGO Traffic Cop for one simple reason: I didn't have one yet. I had no need for another cop figure, but toy collecting often begets bad behavior, and what better figure to serve as a representation of this than a cop? I was in a closing bookstore chain and figured I should go ahead and snag anything they had that I didn't. If nothing else, it would be a fun way to remember Waldenbooks other than as "the place I bought Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures comic books issues 6-13" and "the place I went to at the mall when I was done at Kay-Bee Toys."

There is nothing here to surprise you as the figure design goes. The design is interesting, which is really while we're all here. The face has a smirk that reads "gotcha," with a gradient in the lenses which gives him a slightly exaggerated sense of reality. The uniform is particularly nice, with a badge, walkie-talkie, buttons galore, belt, belt buckle, and little pouches for (I'm assuming) Tic-Tacs. Or ammo. Whatever. The legs have no deco, but the upper torso also has a white undershirt, meaning he's wearing more than a lot of other figures you own. So score one for what you can do with paint.

LEGO Minifigures Series 2 Traffic CopThe accessories are what really sell this figure. Sure, the helmet is nice, but this guy comes with a speeding ticket and handcuffs. The speeding ticket reads "Highway Patrol Speeding Ticket" and from there it's pretty much impossible for mere mortals to read. I think it's telling you how great your eyesight must be if you can read it. It's even signed, which is a nice touch.

Rounding out the set is a pair of handcuffs, and you can attach them to pretty much any LEGO figure with two arms. The plastic feels like a softer PVC, which is what you want here. There's a little give so they hopefully won't snap during play. The entire package is neat, but I wouldn't suggest overpaying for this one unless you really need a LEGO Speeding Ticket... and now that I type out that sentence, I think I do need one.
