Year Released
2019 - Released as part of the second wave of Disney Collectible Minifigures (CMF), expanding the roster of iconic animated characters after the massive success of Series 1 in 2016.
Rarity
Uncommon - While mass-produced in the CMF series, it is no longer in production. Its rarity is compounded by the fact that collectors often seek the full trio (Huey, Dewey, and Louie), driving up demand for individual units.
Head
Unique molded white duck head piece featuring Huey's specific blue eye printing and a small tuft of feathers on top. The orange bill is a dual-molded element of the head piece.
Torso
Bright red torso designed to mimic Huey's classic shirt. It features red arms and white hands. There is no printing on the front or back, emphasizing a minimalist classic cartoon aesthetic.
Legs
Short white legs with bright light orange feet. The feet are achieved through a dual-molding process or specialized lower leg piece, representing the webbed feet of the character.
Accessories
Missing in image. Officially, this figure comes with a Junior Woodchucks guidebook (printed 1x2 tile) representing Huey's role as the most responsible of the triplets.
Color Scheme
Primary Colors: White, Red, and Bright Light Orange. The red shirt is the primary identifier for Huey among his brothers (Dewey is Blue, Louie is Green).
Printing Details
Minimal but high quality. Pad printing is limited to the eyes and the guidebook tile (not pictured). The focus of this figure is on the unique mold of the head and the dual-molded legs/feet.
Variants
Huey has appeared in this specific form only once. Variations of the character exist in other formats like DUPLO, but this is the only standard LEGO minifigure version.
Condition Notes
The bill of the duck head is a common point for paint transfer or scuffing. Check for 'neck cracks' on the red torso and ensure the short legs have firm clutch power on the hip pin.
Estimated Value
Used: $5.00 - $8.00 USD. New (sealed in original blind bag): $10.00 - $14.00 USD.
Price (New)
$3.99 USD - Original retail price for a single blind bag in the 71024 Disney Series 2 CMF line.
Compatible Sets
71024 Disney Series 2 Collectible Minifigures; often displayed with 71044 Disney Train and Station or 71040 Disney Castle.
Character Background
Huey is one of the three identical triplets of Donald Duck and the grandnephew of Scrooge McDuck. He is traditionally depicted wearing red and is known as the 'leader' or the most studious of the trio, especially in DuckTales.
Design Notes
Features a specialized head mold shared with Dewey, Louie, and Donald Duck, but with unique eye printing. The short legs limitations prevent sitting, which is a standard design trade-off for child-sized characters.
Similar Minifigures
Dewey (dis036), Louie (dis037), Donald Duck (dis001), and Scrooge McDuck (dis038).
Collectibility
High. Because he is part of a famous trio, his value is tied to his brothers. Completing the 'Duck' family is a high priority for Disney LEGO collectors.
History
Followed the 2016 release of Donald and Daisy. The 2017 DuckTales reboot renewed interest in these characters, leading to their inclusion in the 2019 CMF series.
Interesting Facts
The headpiece used for the triplets is a slightly different mold than the original 2016 Donald Duck head, featuring a different eye shape and tuft to reflect their younger age.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a tiered CMF stand alongside Dewey, Louie, Scrooge McDuck, and Donald Duck. Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent the white plastic from yellowing.
Modification Potential
The red torso is very common and can be used for any child-sized MOC. The head is very character-specific and difficult to use outside of Duck universe customs.
Overall Assessment
A faithful and vibrant recreation of a classic Disney character. While simple in printing, the unique molding makes it a standout piece for fans of DuckTales or classic Mickey & Friends animation.
