Year Released
2023. This figure was released as part of the Disney 100th Anniversary series, celebrating a century of Disney animation. This era is marked by high-detail printing and unique molds specifically for CMF lines.
Rarity
Uncommon. As a blind-bagged Collectible Minifigure, it is more limited than general retail figures but was widely available in 2023. It is currently discontinued, increasing its desirability among Disney fans.
Head
White, special square-cylindrical shape unique to the character. It features the iconic two black dots connected by a thin line (the 'Healthcare Companion' face) on the front.
Torso
White, specialized molded 'buff' torso with rounded, bulky arms and specific hand molds. Printing includes light gray contour lines of his vinyl skin and his healthcare chip access port on the chest.
Legs
White standard legs with light gray printing to depict the creases of his inflated body and gray highlights on the feet/toes area.
Accessories
Includes two red 1x2 brick-based rechargeable station elements (often used for his armor base) and a black 3x4 display plate with 'Disney 100' silver printing.
Color Scheme
Primarily White with Light Gray accent lines and Black eye printing. The accessories provide a pop of Bright Red.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing including the chest port, arm contours, and leg creases. The printing is minimalist to match the character's clean, medical design.
Variants
This is the first and only official LEGO minifigure of Baymax in his standard 'white' healthcare form. No other official variants exist as of 2024.
Condition Notes
The white plastic is susceptible to scuffing and discoloration from skin oils. Check the neck joint for stress marks and ensure the 'bulkier' arm pieces still have firm clutch power.
Estimated Value
New (in original packet): $5.00 - $8.00 USD. Used Complete: $4.00 - $6.00 USD.
Price (New)
$4.99 USD per blind bag at retail release.

Character Background
Baymax is the deuteragonist of Big Hero 6, a healthcare companion robot built by Tadashi Hamada. He is famous for his gentle nature and 'low battery' comedic moments.
Design Notes
LEGO designers opted for a unique upper body mold rather than a standard torso to capture Baymax's soft, balloon-like physique. This is a rare instance of a non-standard limb/torso combination in a CMF line.
Similar Minifigures
Other Disney CMFs like Stitch or Olaf. In terms of bulky molds, it shares design philosophy with characters like the Hulk (though at a smaller scale) or Hiro Hamada (who would be his natural companion).
Collectibility
High. Baymax is a fan-favorite character from a popular modern Disney classic. Being part of an anniversary series makes it a staple for Disney-themed collections.
History
Fans waited nearly a decade for an official LEGO Big Hero 6 figure. This 2023 release finally fulfilled that demand, marking a milestone for Disney character inclusion.
Interesting Facts
The face design was inspired by traditional Japanese bells (Suzu). The minifigure's 'bulkier' arms use a specific jointing system that differs slightly from standard flat-chested minifigures.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside Hiro Hamada (if using custom figures) or with the San Fransokyo-style builds. Using the included Disney 100 stand is the best way to showcase the printing on the feet.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'Armored Baymax' customs. One could attempt to add red MOC armor over this white base, though the bulky torso makes traditional armor pieces difficult to fit.
Overall Assessment
A 9/10 for accuracy. The unique molding ensures he looks like the character rather than a 'human in a suit.' It is a must-have for Disney collectors due to the unique mold and anniversary context.
