Theme
Scooby-Doo
Year Released
Released in 2015 via the Mystery Mansion and Mystery Machine sets. This period marked LEGO's acquisition of the Hanna-Barbera license, characterized by highly character-accurate, stylized molds.
Rarity
Rare. This figure was exclusive to only five sets during a short 2015-2016 production run and has since been discontinued, leading to high aftermarket demand.
Head
Yellow head with dual-sided printing: one side features a scared, open-mouthed expression with gritted teeth, and the reverse side features a friendly, smiling expression. Includes unique dark orange hair mold with an integrated lavender headband.
Torso
Medium Lavender torso with plain printing on the front and back; however, this specific figure appears to have a plain Dark Purple torso which indicates it may be a partial assembly or a customized version of the character.
Legs
Dark Red legs (also known as Dark Brown depending on light) which are standard unprinted legs used to represent her hosiery/tights.
Accessories
Common accessories for this figure in its original sets included a camera or a magnifying glass. The figure in the image is shown without accessories.
Color Scheme
The character is known for a purple, lavender, and lime green palette; however, this figure consists of dark orange (hair), yellow (skin), dark purple (torso), and dark red (legs).
Printing Details
High-quality facial printing with distinct eyelashes and purple eyeshadow. The torso in the image lacks the iconic green scarf and hem line printing found on the official sc002, suggesting it is a blank purple torso piece.
Variants
There is a variant found in the Dimensions Mystery Mansion set. Most authentic versions feature light/medium lavender torsos with scarf printing. This specific figure uses a non-standard plain purple torso.
Condition Notes
Look for scratches on the hair piece and 'neck cracks' on the torso. The yellow skin tone is resistant to fading, but white stress marks can appear on the leg joints if played with heavily.
Estimated Value
An authentic, complete sc002 Daphne is valued between $30.00 and $55.00 USD. This specific version (due to the incorrect plain torso) is valued primarily for its hair and head pieces, roughly $15.00 - $20.00 USD.
Price (New)
Included in sets ranging from $29.99 (Mystery Machine) to $89.99 (Mystery Mansion) in 2015.
Compatible Sets
75902 The Mystery Machine, 75904 Mystery Mansion, and 75901 Mystery Plane Adventures.
Character Background
The 'fashionista' of Mystery Inc., Daphne Blake is a core member of the Scooby-Doo gang, known for finding clues (and getting into trouble) across decades of animation.
Design Notes
The hair mold is the standout feature, perfectly capturing her 1969 'Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!' aesthetic. It is a dual-molded style piece that collectors highly prize.
Similar Minifigures
Velma Dinkley (sc003), Fred Jones (sc004), Shaggy Rogers, and diverse versions of Scooby-Doo.
Collectibility
Extremely high. The Scooby-Doo theme was short-lived and nostalgic, making the core gang members some of the most sought-after licensed figures from that era.
History
First introduced in 2015. LEGO has not renewed the license for traditional sets since, making the 2015 wave the definitive and only version of these characters in standard minifigure form.
Interesting Facts
The hair piece is a custom mold that has rarely been reused in other themes, making it one of the most expensive individual components of the figure.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the 75902 Mystery Machine with the rest of the gang. Use a UV-protected case to prevent the orange hair from fading.
Modification Potential
The head and hair are frequently used by customizers to create other orange-haired characters or 'damsel in distress' MOCs.
Overall Assessment
While this specific figure appears to be wearing an incorrect plain torso, the head and hair are genuine and high-value components of one of LEGO's most popular retired licensed characters.
