Set 60123 sits within LEGO City as a civilian support vehicle for a specialized exploration setting. The subject is not a licensed spacecraft or combat craft, but a practical helicopter connected to volcano research, team movement and the supply needs of a field operation.
The set contains 330 pieces and 3 minifigures. The listed characters are a male Volcano Explorer in an olive green jumpsuit with straps, white hard hat with visor, breathing apparatus, airtanks and stubble, a second male Volcano Explorer in an olive green jumpsuit with straps, white helmet with visor and sunglasses, and a female Volcano Explorer with an olive green shirt with rope, white hard hat and hair.
