Year Released
2013. This figure debuted in the first wave of Chima, released alongside the animated series to compete with Ninjago's popularity.
Rarity
Common. This specific version was widely available in multiple sets and a polybag during the initial launch of the theme.
Head
Double-sided printing on a lime green head, featuring yellow reptilian eyes. Most significantly, it features a unique Dark Green crocodile-head mask/helmet with detailed scales and orange eyes.
Torso
Lime Green torso with Dark Red and Silver harness printing. It features a central blue 'CHI' orb and detailed crocodile muscular patterns. The back has matching harness and scale printing.
Legs
Lime Green legs with Dark Red hips. Printing includes a Dark Red loincloth, silver buckle, scale patterns, and yellow-white claws printed on the toes.
Accessories
Usually paired with a Venglov (staff weapon) or similar CHI-powered blade, and a trans-blue 1x1 round plate representing a CHI orb. The accessory is missing in the image.
Color Scheme
Primary Lime Green and Dark Green, accented with Dark Red, Silver, and Transparent Blue for the CHI element.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing including toe claws, multi-colored torso harness, and intricate eye details on both the head and the molded headpiece.
Variants
Numerous. Variants include Cragger with heavy armor, a fire-chi version, and versions from later waves (loc055, loc096). This is the original standard version.
Condition Notes
Watch for paint wear on the tip of the crocodile snout and the toe claws. The rubbery texture of some early Chima headgear can attract dust or become sticky if stored poorly.
Estimated Value
Used: $3.00 - $5.00 USD. New (extracted from sets): $7.00 - $10.00 USD. The value is stable due to high supply.
Price (New)
N/A (Individual figure context). Set prices varied from $14.99 (70001) up to $79.99 (70006).
Compatible Sets
70001 Crowley's Claw Ripper, 70006 Cragger's Command Ship, 30250 Ewar's Acro-Fighter (Polybag), and 70208 CHI Cragger (Technic-style variant).
Character Background
Cragger is the main antagonist turned friend in the Legends of Chima series. He is the Prince (later King) of the Crocodile Tribe who was corrupted by the CHI but eventually redeemed.
Design Notes
Features a specialized dual-molded headpiece that fits over the standard minifigure head, defining the unique 'anthropomorphic animal' look of the Chima line.
Similar Minifigures
Crominus, Crooler, and other Crocodile Tribe members like Crowley. Shares mechanical design similarities with the Ninjago Serpentine figures.
Collectibility
Moderate. Chima has a dedicated cult following, but because Cragger was the face of the theme, he is very easy to acquire for collectors.
History
Chima was LEGO's massive 2013 big-bang theme intended to replace Ninjago (which was temporarily planned for retirement). Cragger was the central rival character.
Interesting Facts
Cragger is one of the few characters across LEGO history to have both a standard minifigure and a buildable Technic-style 'Constraction' figure released simultaneously.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside his rival Laval (the Lion). Looks best in a swamp-themed vignette or inside the 70006 Command Ship.
Modification Potential
Excellent for lizard-men or dragon-born characters in Dungeons & Dragons MOCs due to the detailed head mold and green skin tone.
Overall Assessment
The definitive version of a major LEGO character. While not financially valuable, it is a high-quality figure with excellent mold design and detailed printing.
