Collectible Minifigures
Year Released
2015. It was released as part of the blind-bag collection for the 13th series of the CMF line.
Rarity
Uncommon. As a blind-bag figure, it was common during its release year, but since it was retired, it has become harder to find in mint condition.
Head
Olive green skin with a distinct pointed ears mold (integrated into the head or specifically molded for this figure's profile). Features a devious grin showing sharp teeth and glowing yellow eyes with dark circles.
Torso
Dark orange/brown rugged tunic with printed leather lacing on the front, a white rope belt, and patch details. The arms are olive green with lime/olive green hands.
Legs
Dark brown short legs with printing representing the bottom of a tunic and a hanging rope. Features jagged hemlines over olive green 'bare' legs.
Accessories
In its original retail blind-bag, it includes a dark grey bag/sack and a grey scimitar-style sword. These accessories are missing from the pictured figure.
Color Scheme
Primary olive green and dark orange/brown, used to convey a forest-dwelling or subterranean creature aesthetic.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head, torso, and the front of the legs. The rope belt and lacing details are sharp, typical of the CMF specialized printing standards.
Variants
There are no official variants of this specific Series 13 Goblin, though LEGO has produced other goblins like those in the Hobbit line (e.g., Goblin Soldiers) or Gringotts goblins.
Condition Notes
Prone to loose neck joints if the head is swapped frequently. The olive green printing on the legs can sometimes show wear at the edges. The ears are a potential point for paint rubbing.

Character Background
A generic fantasy-themed goblin. Unlike the licensed goblins from Middle-earth, this character represents a classic Dungeons & Dragons style mischievous monster.
Design Notes
The head mold is particularly noteworthy for the large, prominent ears which distinguish it from standard minifigures. It uses the short-leg piece to represent the creature's small stature.
Similar Minifigures
The Hobbit Goblin Soldier (lor030), Series 6 Highland Battler (for the rugged look), and Series 2 Orc (col02-12).
Collectibility
Moderate. It is a popular 'army builder' for fantasy MOC (My Own Creation) builders who want to create goblin hoards.
History
Part of the transition period where LEGO CMF began experimenting with more unique head molds beyond just standard hairpieces or helmets.
Interesting Facts
This was one of the first 'classic' goblins in the CMF line, following the Series 3 Elf which established the 'pointed ear' mold style.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a fantasy forest scene or a dungeon diorama. Looks great alongside the Series 20 Knight or Series 13 King.
Modification Potential
Excellent for fantasy MOCs. The head is often used for custom gremlins, imps, or alien species.
Overall Assessment
A solid, well-designed figure for any fantasy fan. While this specific unit is missing its sword and sack, the core figure remains a charming example of LEGO's creature design.
