Theme
Legends of Chima
Year Released
2014. Released as part of the third wave of Legends of Chima, shifting from the traditional animal tribes to the introduction of prehistoric and elemental fire tribes.
Rarity
Uncommon. This figure was exclusive to only two sets from the 2014-2015 period, making it harder to find than generic tribe members but not as rare as limited promotional polybags.
Head
Unique Leopard Tribe headpiece (mold 15474pr0002). Yellow base with printed orange and black spots, a white snout, fangs, and orange eyes. It replaces a traditional hair piece and sits over a standard yellow head.
Torso
Yellow torso with Leopard spots, 'Fire CHI' harness, red straps, and white muscle definition. Back printing mirrors the leopard spots and harness design. Bright yellow arms with white hands.
Legs
Yellow legs with leopard spot printing on the hips and upper legs, dark red loincloth/tunic printing, and orange flame patterns on the knees. Features black claw/toe printing on the feet.
Accessories
Usually paired with a CHI staff or a 'Fire-Valious' weapon. The specific image shown lacks the handheld weapon, but the headpiece itself is considered part of the character's core gear.
Color Scheme
Bright Yellow, Orange, and Black (Leopard pattern) with Dark Red and White accents. Represents the Leopard tribe's transition into the 'Fire' alliance.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the headpiece, torso (front and back), and legs (front). The alignment on these figures is typically excellent, capturing the organic look of fur spots.
Variants
There are no major printing variants of Lundor, though his parts are often confused with general Leopard Tribe warriors. Lundor is distinguished by his specific harness and flame motifs.
Condition Notes
Check for 'bite marks' or scratches on the rubbery headpiece mold. The white hands are prone to discoloration, and the yellow leg prints can wear off at the feet edges.
Estimated Value
Used: $5.00 - $8.00 USD. New: $12.00 - $15.00 USD. Markets fluctuate based on interest in Chima nostalgia.
Price (New)
Originally available in Set 70135 ($29.99) and Set 70147 ($79.99). He was never sold as a standalone low-cost blister pack figure.
Compatible Sets
70135 Cragger's Fire Striker (2014), 70147 Sir Fangar's Ice Fortress (2014).
Character Background
Lundor is the historian and record-keeper for the Leopard Tribe. Unlike his more aggressive allies, he is more concerned with the history of Chima, though he fought during the Fire vs. Ice conflict.
Design Notes
Utilizes a specialized animal head mold that fits over the neck post. This era of Chima design focused heavily on dual-molding and complex texture printing to mimic fur and scales.
Similar Minifigures
Laval (Fire CHI version), Li'Ella (Lion Tribe), and generic Leopard Tribe warriors (loc071).
Collectibility
Moderate. Chima has a dedicated cult following, and completionists of the Leopard tribe specifically seek out Lundor to complete their roster.
History
Chima was LEGO's successor to Ninjago (though both ran concurrently). Lundor represents the peak of the theme's detailed printing before it was eventually retired for themes like Nexo Knights.
Interesting Facts
Despite being a Leopard, Lundor's head mold is remarkably similar to the Lion tribe's mold, but lacks the mane, emphasizing the streamlined leopard physique.
Display Suggestions
Looks best in a Chima fire-themed vignette with orange trans-clear pieces or alongside other Fire CHI characters like Tormak and Li'Ella.
Modification Potential
The headpiece is popular for MOC (My Own Creations) builders creating custom furry characters or Dungeons & Dragons Tabaxi minifigures.
Overall Assessment
A solid, highly detailed figure from a unique era of LEGO. He is the definitive version of the character and a great example of the creative risks LEGO took in the mid-2010s.
