Rarity
Uncommon. While not part of a limited run, this specific ghost combination was only available in high-piece count Heroica sets which are now discontinued.
Head
Transparent Neon-Green with black eyes and a wide, mischievous grinning mouth with printed white teeth.
Torso
Dark Purple torso with a Dark Blue and White tattered spirit/cloth print. It features Dark Blue arms and Lime Green hands.
Legs
N/A - Features a Trans-Neon Green and Dark Blue swirled 'ghost tail' or spirit base piece (Part 64448pr0002).
Accessories
Usually comes with no handheld accessories, though often paired with weapons from Heroica sets like swords or axes.
Color Scheme
Primary colors are Trans-Neon Green, Dark Purple, and Dark Blue, creating a spectral, supernatural aesthetic.
Printing Details
Pad-printed tattered detail on the front of the torso. Face print is high-contrast black and white against the transparent green plastic.
Variants
Variations of this spirit mold exist in other colors (e.g., solid white, trans-clear) for motifs like Ninjago ghosts or Star Wars Force spirits.
Condition Notes
The trans-neon green plastic is prone to hairline cracks if stressed. Check the connection point between the tail and torso for 'clutch power' fatigue.
Estimated Value
Used: $4.00 - $7.00 USD. Value is relatively low due to the niche nature of the Heroica line.
Price (New)
Available in sets ranging from $14.99 to $29.99 in 2011; not sold individually.
Compatible Sets
3860 Castle Fortaan, 3857 Draida Bay.
Character Background
Generic enemy spirits/ghosts encountered by heroes in the world of Heroica, a LEGO-based micro-dungeon crawler game.
Design Notes
Uses the leg-replacement 'ghost tail' mold first popularized in the Ninjago and Monster Fighters lines to give a floating appearance.
Similar Minifigures
Ninjago ghosts (Cursed Realm spirits), Force Ghost Obi-Wan, Vitruvius Ghost (The LEGO Movie).
Collectibility
Moderate. Appealing to fans of the short-lived Heroica game system and collectors of transparent LEGO pieces.
History
Part of LEGO's push into the board game market in the early 2010s; this ghost was one of the larger-scale figures in a line mostly comprised of micro-figures.
Interesting Facts
The 'ghost tail' piece seen here was a revolutionary mold for the time, allowing minifigures to 'levitate' on a single stud.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a graveyard MOC or a dungeon-themed display case with UV lighting to make the trans-neon green pop.
Modification Potential
Excellent for custom fantasy MOCs or as spectral enemies in Dungeons and Dragons LEGO campaigns.
Overall Assessment
A visually striking figure with great use of transparency. It stands as a cool relic of LEGO's experimental board game era.
