Year Released
Released in May 2024 as part of the specialized 71046 Space-themed CMF wave, celebrating LEGO's historical space sub-themes.
Rarity
Common (Current Retail), though demand is high for its unique translucent parts. The Data Matrix code on the box allows collectors to identify it without opening.

A physical club/mace represented by a transparent Light Blue club piece; a large transparent Light Blue shield printed with the Orion constellation.
Color Scheme
A 'cosmic' palette of Dark Blue, Metallic Silver, and Transparent Light Blue (Trans-Light Blue) with glitter/sparkle effects.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head, torso (front and back), legs, and the shield accessory; alignment is generally excellent across translucent surfaces.
Variants
No official production variants; however, the Data Matrix code 6623274 (scannable via apps) specifically identifies this figure within the production run.
Condition Notes
Transparent parts are highly susceptible to micro-scratches and fingerprint oils; the box (6589464) is prone to crushing if not handled carefully.
Estimated Value
New/Sealed: $5.00 - $7.00 USD; Used: $4.00 - $5.00 USD. Value is currently tied to retail price due to ongoing production.
Price (New)
$4.99 USD per blind box. Price-per-figure ratio is 1:1 as an individual blind-packaged collectible.
Compatible Sets
71046 LEGO Minifigures Series 26 Space; 66764 Space Series 6-Pack.
Character Background
A personification of the Orion constellation; a celestial warrior designed to bridge the gap between Greek mythology and sci-fi space exploration.
Design Notes
Features a record amount of transparent material for a standard CMF; utilizes the 'trans-light blue with glitter' resin to simulate a nebula effect.
Similar Minifigures
Stargazer (Series 26), Ice Planet 2002 Explorer (Series 26), and various Trans-Blue figures from the Galaxy Squad or Nexo Knights themes.
Collectibility
High demand for MOC builders due to the unique transparent parts; standard collectibility for complete CMF series hunters.
History
Part of the first-ever CMF series dedicated exclusively to the 'Space' genre, released during the 2024 Year of Space marketing campaign.
Interesting Facts
The code '013286' and '610R6' on the box indicates a specific production batch; Orion is one of the few figures where the accessory (shield) is a vital part of the character design's lore.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a backlit stand to allow light to pass through the head and limbs; looks excellent alongside the Series 26 Alien Tourist or M-Tron Powerlifter.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'Ghost' or 'Hologram' customs in Star Wars MOCs; the trans-blue limbs are highly sought after for elemental-themed characters.
Overall Assessment
9/10 Quality Rating. Orion stands out as a technical achievement in LEGO's use of transparent plastics and detailed silver printing.
