Theme

Year Released
2016
Rarity
Uncommon. As a blind-bagged figure from a retired CMF series, it is no longer available at retail. There were 3 Satyrs per full box of 60.
Head
Medium Nougat skin tone with a mischievous smirk, white pupils, and faint cheek lines. It features a unique hair/headgear mold in Dark Orange that includes pointed ears and two small black horns.
Torso
Dark Stone Grey with a simplistic tunic print, featuring a dark grey cravat/scarf and a black belt with a silver buckle. The arms are Dark Stone Grey with Nougat hands.
Legs
Standard black legs. Note: The official release came with unique fur-textured, hoof-style legs in Medium Nougat. The figure in the image appears to have been modified with generic black legs.
Accessories
Missing official accessories. The original figure included a Tan flute (panbound) and a green printed 2x2 tile element with a foliage design. Included here is a standard black cloth cape not original to the set.
Color Scheme
A mix of Dark Orange (hair/ears), Medium Nougat (skin), Dark Grey (torso), and Black (legs/horns).
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing typical of CMF series. Features detail on the front of the torso and facial features. The specific head mold is the standout element.
Variants
This is the only version of this specific Satyr character, though the hoof leg piece has been reused for characters like the Series 18 Unicorn Guy and various Centaurs.
Condition Notes
The head and torso appear to be in good condition. The main issue is the 'franking' (mixing parts)—the legs are incorrect and a cape has been added. CMF heads often show wear on the horns.
Estimated Value
$3.00 - $5.00 for the head and torso as shown. A complete, original figure sells for $12.00 - $18.00 USD.
Price (New)
$3.99 USD (original blind bag retail price in 2016).

Character Background
Based on the Satyr of Greek mythology (or Faun in Roman mythology). Typically depicted as a woodland spirit with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a goat.
Design Notes
The 'hoof' leg mold introduced with this figure was a significant design milestone for LEGO, allowing for more accurate mythological and animal characters.

Series 22 Troubadour (similar torso/vibe), Series 13 Goblin, Series 21 Centaur Warrior.
Collectibility
High for the original complete version. The Satyr is popular for fantasy MOC builders and those completing the Series 15 collection.
History
Released in January 2016 as part of the 16-figure Series 15. This was during a peak era for original CMF designs using unique molds.
Interesting Facts
The Pan flute included in the original set was a brand-new mold at the time. This figure is frequently used by fans to create custom 'Mr. Tumnus' figures from Narnia.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a woodland or forest vignette. Pairs excellently with other mythological figures like the Medusa or Minotaur.
Modification Potential
High. The head piece is excellent for custom fantasy characters. This specific figure is already a 'custom' mix due to the incorrect legs and added cape.
Overall Assessment
The head and hairpiece are the most valuable components here. As a 'purist' collector item, this figure is incomplete and 'incorrect' due to the substituted black legs, but the rare specialized head mold remains a desirable part.
