Rarity
Uncommon to Rare; as a blind-bag figure from 2011, it is no longer in production, making it a sought-after retired collectible.
Head
White head with a traditional Geisha-style face: black eyebrows, small red lips, and thin eyeliner. It features the 'Geisha' hair piece in black with a molded bun and floral detail.
Torso
Red kimono design with a dark blue under-layer, featuring a black 'obi' (sash) with gold/dark orange patterns and white cherry blossom (sakura) printing on the front.
Legs
Sloped 2x2x2 'dress' element in red, continuing the kimono wrap pattern with white cherry blossoms and dark blue hem details at the bottom.
Accessories
Originally packaged with a dark pink folding fan; the image provided is missing this accessory.
Color Scheme
Primary red with accents of white, dark blue, black, and pale flesh for the hands and head.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing across the torso and the front of the sloped dress piece. The white cherry blossoms are crisp and contrast well against the red plastic.
Variants
There are no official LEGO variants of this specific Series 4 figure, though similar Kimono-clad figures appeared in the Ninjago theme and later CMF series with different designs.
Condition Notes
Prone to scratches on the large surface area of the sloped dress piece. The white head can show dirt or scuffs easily due to its pale color. Check for 'neck cracks' on the torso.
Estimated Value
Current market value for a used complete figure is approximately $10-$15. In new/sealed condition (within the original foil pack), it can fetch $20-$25.
Price (New)
Originally sold for an MSRP of $2.99 in 2011 as part of the Series 4 blind bags.

Character Background
Inspired by traditional Japanese Geisha culture, this figure represents a classic performer in a formal kimono, fitting well into both historical and cultural displays.
Design Notes
Notable for using the sloped brick for the lower body to simulate a long dress rather than standard legs, a technique LEGO uses for formal gowns and robes.
Similar Minifigures
Ninjago's Nya (Kimono version), Series 19's Fox Costume Girl (who has a similar hair mold), and the Series 3 Samurai Warrior.
Collectibility
High demand among CMF completionists and builders of Japanese-themed MOCs (Modulars or Zen Gardens).
History
Released during the 'Golden Age' of the CMF line when LEGO began experimenting with more detailed cultural representations and unique headpieces.
Interesting Facts
This was one of the first figures to use the specific Geisha hair mold, which has since been recolored for various other characters in the Ninjago theme.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a 16-slot CMF frame or placed in a LEGO Architecture 'Himeji Castle' or 'Tranquil Garden' set for scale and context.
Modification Potential
The sloped dress piece and hair are highly valuable for customs of other East Asian historical figures or fantasy characters.
Overall Assessment
A beautiful and iconic entry from the early CMF runs. Despite the missing fan in this specific photo, the figure remains a high-quality example of LEGO's attention to cultural detail.
