Rarity
Uncommon/Specific Search. While part of a mass-produced blind series, the shift to cardboard boxes makes specific figures harder to individualize without weight analysis or QR code scanning.
Head
Features a dual-sided print with a fierce avian-inspired expression and a more neutral look. Skin tone is light nougat with purple tribal-style markings around the eyes. Does not include traditional hair, but utilizes a unique mold for the harpy headgear.
Torso
Dark purple base with intricate printing of gold feathered armor and light nougat skin. The design flows into the leg pieces and includes back printing that aligns with the wing attachment point.
Legs
Dark purple hips and legs with gold and light nougat printing. Notable for featuring 'claw' or 'talon' printed feet, representing the hybrid nature of the character.
Accessories
Equipped with large, trans-neon green/yellow wings that attach via a neck bracket, and a gold-colored trident/spear. The wings are the standout accessory of this figure.
Color Scheme
A combination of dark purple, gold, and light nougat with vibrant translucent accents in the wings.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head, torso (front and back), and the front of the legs. The level of detail in the feather texture on the armor is exceptionally fine.
Variants
No official LEGO variants exist for this specific figure as it is a unique design for Series 25.
Condition Notes
As a new release in cardboard packaging, the primary concern is out-of-the-box scratches on the translucent wing pieces. The neck bracket can also cause slight 'torso flare' if left on long-term.
Estimated Value
$5.00 - $8.00 USD (New/Opened). Being a recent release, its value is currently tied closely to retail price plus a small premium for identification.
Price (New)
$4.99 USD (MSRP per blind box).

Character Background
A creature from Greek mythology, the Harpy is often depicted as a half-human, half-bird wind spirit. This version leans into a warrior aesthetic suitable for fantasy-themed MOCs or Castle displays.
Design Notes
This figure stands out for its bold use of translucent plastic for the wings and the cohesive use of purple and gold, which is a departure from historical, more muted LEGO harpies.
Similar Minifigures
Mythology-based figures like the Series 15 Faun, Series 9 Cyclops, or the Harpy from the LEGO Studios/Hogwarts sets (though much older).
Collectibility
High for fans of mythology and fantasy. The figure is a popular 'army builder' for fantasy dioramas, which may increase long-term demand.
History
Follows a long tradition of LEGO using the CMF line to introduce mythological creatures that wouldn't fit into standard licensed themes.
Interesting Facts
The QR code shown in your image (on the bottom of the Series 25 boxes) can be scanned by third-party apps to identify the figure inside without opening the box, a response by fans to the removal of 'feelable' foil bags.
Display Suggestions
Looks best in a flight pose using a trans-clear bar. Complements other Series 25 figures like the Goat Herd or the Vampire Knight.
Modification Potential
The wings and headpiece are highly sought after for custom fantasy builds, specifically for creating custom Valkyries or avian aliens.
Overall Assessment
Rating: 8/10. A strong fantasy design with excellent part utility. It is one of the more visually striking figures in the Series 25 lineup due to the wing span and vibrant colors.
