Year Released
2015. Released as part of a dedicated horror/monster themed CMF wave, signaling LEGO's increased interest in original IP characters.
Rarity
Uncommon. While part of a standard CMF wave, Series 14 is highly sought after by horror fans. It is no longer in production.
Head
Unique molded fly head in Lime Green with large red compound eyes (visible under the mask/helmet) and black bristles. The face printing on the underlying head features a distressed expression with a green tongue.
Torso
Lime green with detailed printing representing tattered scientist clothes stained with slime and acid. Features a small printed fly on the lower right.
Legs
Standard height legs with matching lime green and olive-green printing, depicting shredded trousers and monstrous protrusions.
Accessories
Includes a claw-hand piece (replaces one standard hand) and a transparent round tile with a fly-print motif representing a microscopic view or a specimen.
Color Scheme
Primary Lime Green and Olive Green with white and red accents. Features black for fly-bristle details.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head, torso (front and back), and legs. Detail includes textured slime drips and insectoid features.
Variants
No official LEGO variants exist for this specific figure ID, though it pays homage to the 1950s/1980s film 'The Fly'.
Condition Notes
The molded head is a soft plastic/rubber hybrid; check for 'tackiness' or dust adhesion. Claw hand can suffer from stress marks if forced.
Estimated Value
Used Complete: $12 - $18 USD. New/Sealed in bag: $20 - $25 USD.
Price (New)
$3.99 USD (original retail price for a single blind bag in 2015).
Compatible Sets
71010 Collectible Minifigures Series 14.
Character Background
A scientist whose experiment went horribly wrong, merging his DNA with a common housefly. A clear parody of horror cinema classics.
Design Notes
Uses a highly specific oversized head mold that is rarely reused in other themes, making this a standout piece for custom monster builders.
Similar Minifigures
Spider Lady (Series 14), Monster Scientist (Series 14), and Seth Brundle-inspired customs.
Collectibility
High. The Monsters series is one of the most popular CMF waves. Demand remains stable due to its unique aesthetic and Halloween appeal.
History
Part of the first CMF series to feature a unified 'spooky' theme rather than a random assortment of characters.
Interesting Facts
The accessory tile features a fly print that is a direct 1:1 scale representation of the character's former self.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a laboratory setting or alongside other Series 14 monsters in a dedicated CMF frame.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'The Bug' MOCs (Men in Black) or sci-fi horror dioramas. The headpiece fits most standard minifigure necks.
Overall Assessment
A top-tier CMF entry with a unique mold and great storytelling. Highly recommended for fans of retro horror and unique LEGO parts.
