Color Scheme
Primary: Medium Azure. Accents: Pink, Magenta, Silver, and Black. Topped with a vibrant Red helmet.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso and legs. The torso features a distinctive 'brain in a jar' look. The head has basic 2000s-era City printing.
Variants
The proper Kraang (tnt004) would have a pink brain-shaped head piece. This specific figure is a 'mismatched' variant created by a previous owner.
Condition Notes
Look for silver paint wear on the toes and belt line of the legs. Check the neck for cracks and the hard hat for bite marks.
Estimated Value
Torso and Legs: $2.00-$4.00; Head and Hat: $0.50. Total value: Approximately $3.00 - $5.00 USD.
Price (New)
The Kraang originally came in sets ranging from $12.99 (79100) to $59.99 (79104). It was an entry-level soldier figure.
Compatible Sets
Torso/Legs appeared in: 79100 Kraang Lab Escape, 79104 The Shellraiser Street Chase, and 30270 Kraang Turtle Target Practice.
Character Background
The body belongs to The Kraang, extra-dimensional utilitarian aliens from Dimension X. The head/hat are generic civilian worker parts.
Design Notes
The Kraang was one of the first figures to use Medium Azure so extensively. The torso print is designed to look like a window into the robot's chest.
Similar Minifigures
Kraang (tnt014 variant), Foot Soldier (tnt003), and various City Construction Workers.
Collectibility
Low in this mismatched state. Collectors usually seek the unique pink translucent Kraang head piece to complete the figure.
History
Released in the 2013 debut of the LEGO TMNT line. The head is significantly older, dating back to the late 2000s City 'female' face designs.
Interesting Facts
The Kraang torso is almost identical to the 'The Kraang' figure, but there are slightly different leg variants across the TMNT sets.
Display Suggestions
Best used in a 'Body Snatcher' or 'Disguised Robot' scene within a LEGO City MOC due to the worker head on the alien body.
Modification Potential
Excellent. The Medium Azure parts are great for custom robotic or sci-fi MOCs. The head can be easily swapped for the proper pink brain part.
Overall Assessment
This is a 'franken-figure' combining the body of a 2013 Kraang with a 2008 City worker's head. It has low value but high charm as a custom creation.
