Theme
Legends of Chima
Year Released
2013: Debuted in the first wave of Legends of Chima sets. This era marked LEGO's attempt to create a massive original IP with an accompanying TV show and media blitz, following the success of Ninjago.
Rarity
Uncommon: Worriz is the leader of the Wolf Tribe and appeared in several sets, but specifically in this detailed armored configuration, he is harder to find than the standard versions. Sets were retired years ago, decreasing availability.
Head
The figure features a double-sided head (aggressive and devious expressions) with yellow/amber eyes. It includes the signature black molded Wolf headpiece/mask with red 'war paint' markings on top and a textured fur mold.
Torso
Black torso with highly detailed printing including grey fur textures, red tribal patterns, and blue/white jewel accents. It is overlaid with a black shoulder armor piece (part 11097) which is a separate molded element.
Legs
Dark grey/black legs with extensive printing. The design features a brown belt with a circular buckle, blue/white padding on the knees, and silver/grey fur textures extending down the shins.
Accessories
In the image, the figure is wearing black spiked shoulder armor. Typically, he would be equipped with a 'CHI' orb and a buildable 'Wolf' themed sword or axe, though these are missing in the provided photo.
Color Scheme
A dark, aggressive palette consisting of Black, Dark Stone Grey, and Red, with bright Trans-Light Blue accents representing the CHI energy source.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing covers the front and back of the torso, as well as the front and sides of the legs. The intricate patterns on the wolf mask use specialized printing to align with the mold's ridges.
Variants
Multiple versions exist including 'Cape Worriz' (loc036), 'Fire Worriz' (loc108), and a 'Fire CHI' version with translucent orange parts. This version is the standard armored variant from 2013.
Condition Notes
The wolf mask is prone to paint rub on the red markings. The shoulder armor can cause stress marks on the torso neck stub if applied too tightly. Check friction for red hands.
Estimated Value
Used: $4.00 - $7.00 USD. New: $10.00 - $15.00 USD. Values fluctuate based on the inclusion of the specific CHI weapon accessories and the condition of the mask printing.
Price (New)
N/A - Originally included in sets ranging from $14.99 (Worriz's Combat Lair) to $79.99 (The Wolf Truck).
Compatible Sets
70009 Worriz's Combat Lair, 70013 Equila's Ultra Striker, 70115 Ultimate Speedor Tournament.
Character Background
Worriz is the cunning and often treacherous leader of the Wolf Tribe in the Land of Chima. He is a primary antagonist who often switches alliances to ensure his tribe's survival and dominance.
Design Notes
The Legends of Chima figures were notable for their dual-molded and highly detailed headpieces which significantly changed the silhouette of a standard LEGO minifigure.
Similar Minifigures
Wilhurt (loc008), Wakz (loc009), Winzar (loc010), and later Fire-themed Wolf tribe members.
Collectibility
Moderate: Chima has a dedicated cult following. While not as mainstream as Ninjago or Star Wars, tribe leaders like Worriz are essential for completing a tribe collection.
History
Chima ran from 2013 to 2015. Worriz remained a consistent character throughout the run, evolving through the 'Fire vs Ice' era with updated armor designs.
Interesting Facts
Worriz is one of the few characters in the series who consistently maintains a moral gray area, often betraying friends for the 'good' of his pack.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed with other Wolf Tribe members in a pack formation. Using Trans-Light Blue studs or plates to represent CHI crystals enhances the thematic look.
Modification Potential
The wolf head mask is a favorite for MOC builders creating fantasy gnolls, werewolves, or tribal beastmen in Castle themes.
Overall Assessment
A solid example of Chima's high-detail era. The figure stands out due to the unique head sculpt and aggressive armor. Highly recommended for fans of anthropomorphic themes.
