Theme
Collectible Minifigures
Year Released
2019. This figure was released as part of the second wave of LEGO Disney Collectible Minifigures, released globally in May 2019 to celebrate Disney's legacy.
Rarity
Uncommon. While part of a blind-bag series, Huey was produced in a quantity of 3 per box of 60, making him moderately common compared to rare 'chase' figures, but now harder to find as the series is retired.
Head
A unique, custom-molded white duck head featuring Huey's specific wide-eyed expression, blue eyes, an orange beak, and a small tuft of white feathers on top. This mold is shared with his brothers Dewey and Louie.
Torso
A plain red torso representing his signature shirt. It features red arms and white hands. There is no printing on the front or back of the torso piece.
Legs
Short white legs to denote his stature as a child, featuring orange 'duck feet' printing at the bottom of the legs. The hips are white.
Accessories
As pictured, the figure is missing its original accessories. Officially, it comes with a Junior Woodchucks guidebook (printed 2x2 tile) and a red hat (which utilizes a pin-hole on the head mold).
Color Scheme
The primary colors are red, white, and orange, matching the traditional color palette of the character from the DuckTales and Disney shorts.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the eyes and beak of the molded head and dual-colored look on the legs created via orange printing on white plastic. The torso is deliberately unprinted to reflect the simple cartoon aesthetic.
Variants
Huey is nearly identical in construction to his brothers Dewey (dis033) and Louie (dis034), differing only by the color of his shirt/hat (red) and his specific eye-printing.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include paint rubbing on the tip of the orange beak and the printed 'feet' on the legs. The neck joint on the custom head mold can sometimes become loose over time.
Estimated Value
Current market value for a Used Complete figure is approximately $5-$8 USD. As pictured (missing hat and book), the value drops to $3-$4 USD. A New/Sealed bag can fetch $10-$15 USD.
Price (New)
Original retail price was $3.99 USD per blind bag in 2019.

Character Background
Huey is one of the triplet nephews of Donald Duck and the grand-nephew of Scrooge McDuck. He is typically portrayed as the most responsible leader of the trio and is a member of the Junior Woodchucks.
Design Notes
LEGO used a specialized head mold for the ducks in this series to ensure they captured the iconic Disney profile, which wouldn't have been possible with a standard minifigure head.
Similar Minifigures
Dewey (dis033), Louie (dis034), Donald Duck (dis001), Scrooge McDuck (dis031), and Daisy Duck (dis002).
Collectibility
Highly collectible for Disney fans. Completing the set of Huey, Dewey, and Louie is a priority for most sub-theme collectors, maintaining steady demand on the secondary market.
History
This figure marks the first and only time Huey has appeared as a physical LEGO minifigure, following the success of the first Disney CMF series in 2016.
Interesting Facts
The head mold features a small hole on top for the hat accessory; because the brothers share the same head mold, the hat color is the only way (besides shirt color) to distinguish them in traditional LEGO form.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for display in a frame or on a tiered stand alongside Scrooge McDuck and his brothers. Adding a forest-themed baseplate suits their Woodchuck background.
Modification Potential
The red torso is a standard part and can be swapped for others; however, the specialized head mold makes the figure difficult to 'purist' modify into anything other than a duck character.
Overall Assessment
A charming and accurate representation of a classic Disney character. While the torso is simple, the custom head mold is excellent. Desirability remains high for those looking to complete the Duck family collection.
