Character Background
A celestial being based on the Orion constellation. He represents a mythological/supernatural element within the 2024 Space sub-theme relaunch.

Interesting Facts
The Data Matrix code on the box (6589462 / 604S6) revealed by the photo confirms this internal box contains Orion, allowing collectors to bypass the 'blind' aspect of the packaging.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for display on a backlit shelf to highlight the transparent purple plastic. Looks best when paired with other Series 26 Space figures or Galaxy Explorer sets.
Modification Potential
Great for custom Marvel 'Eternals' or 'Cosmic' characters. The trans-purple legs and arms are highly sought after by customizers (purist kit-bashing).
Overall Assessment
9/10. One of the standout figures of 2024 due to its unique material and striking visual identity. A must-have for LEGO Space enthusiasts.
