Trolls World Tour
Year Released
2020, launched alongside the Trolls World Tour movie sets during LEGO's brief partnership with the DreamWorks franchise.
Rarity
Uncommon; exclusive to a single set (41250) and part of a short-lived theme that has since been discontinued.
Head
Unique molded purple head with large pointed ears, white/pink swirl eyes, cyan lipstick, and vibrant pink glitter-infused translucent hair molded into the top.
Torso
Dark Purple torso with magenta arms and purple hands; features a pixelated/glowing pink heart print surrounded by white sparkles.
Legs
Specialized mermaid tail piece (part 65373) in dark purple with translucent pink tips at the fins, designed for a 4x4 stud footprint base.
Accessories
Usually paired with a spinning dance floor or DJ booth accessories in the set; the figure itself features a hole in the hair mold for attaching LEGO bow or flower elements.
Color Scheme
Dominant Dark Purple and Magenta with cyan accents and translucent pink finishes, reflecting the 'Techno Reef' aesthetic from the film.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the face and torso; the eyes use a unique hypnotic swirl pattern. Printing is sharp and vibrant against the dark plastic backdrop.
Variants
This is the only version of the Techno Mermaid Troll; she is distinct from the standard Techno Troll (trl014) which has minifigure legs.
Condition Notes
The translucent hair is a dust magnet; check the connection between the torso and the tail as the unique mold can sometimes have tighter or looser clutch power.
Estimated Value
Used: $5.00 - $8.00 USD; New: $10.00 - $14.00 USD. Prices fluctuate based on the niche demand for Trolls collectors.
Price (New)
Only available in set 41250 Techno Reef Dance Party, which retailed for $19.99 USD in 2020.
Compatible Sets
41250 Techno Reef Dance Party (2020).
Character Background
Appears in Trolls World Tour as a resident of the Techno Reef, led by King Trollex, where they live in a high-energy underwater electronic dance music society.
Design Notes
Uses the newer mermaid tail mold which allows for more dynamic vertical display compared to the classic flat LEGO mermaid tails. The integrated hair/head mold is a theme-specific innovation.
Similar Minifigures
King Trollex (trl014), Poppy (trl001), and the Mermaid from Collectible Minifigures Series 9.
Collectibility
Moderate; highly desirable for completionists of the Trolls theme, but has lower crossover appeal for mainstream LEGO Star Wars or Marvel collectors.
History
Represents LEGO's expansion into music-focused IP. The theme was retired shortly after the movie's home release cycle ended.
Interesting Facts
The tail piece is cross-compatible with standard minifigure torsos, allowing for custom 'Techno' versions of other characters.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a neon-lit case or near RGB lighting to highlight the translucent glitter hair and tail fins. Pair with King Trollex for a full Techno Reef scene.
Modification Potential
Excellent for underwater MOCs; the torso is a great 'pixel art' element for custom sci-fi or cyberpunk minifigures.
Overall Assessment
A vibrant and unique figure that showcases LEGO's ability to create specialized molds for non-humanoid characters. 8/10 for design, 5/10 for investment value.
