Year Released
2017 - Debuted in the set 41150 Moana's Ocean Voyage to coincide with the home media release of the Moana film.
Rarity
Uncommon to Rare. Being a larger 'Big-Fig' mold exclusive to only one set in the early Moana wave, it was not mass-produced across several sets like standard minifigures.
Head
The head is an integral part of the Big Figure torso mold. It features Maui's cocky smirk with detailed eyebrows and eyes. It uses a unique, large black curly hair piece (Part 28551) that fits over a specialized stud on the molded neck.
Torso
The torso is an oversized 'Big Figure' mold in Medium Nougat. It features incredibly dense black tattoo printing on the chest, back, and muscular arms, representing Maui's magical tattoos that tell his life story.
Legs
Molded as part of the body, the lower half is Lime Green with 'ripped' detailing at the bottom to represent his grass skirt, revealing Medium Nougat skin at the feet.
Accessories
Typically includes a large white 'fish hook' (Part 27263) with bone-carving printing, though the accessory is missing in the provided photo.
Color Scheme
Medium Nougat (skin), Lime Green (grass skirt), and Black (tattoos and hair).
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing covers the torso and arms. The detail is exceptional, featuring small icons and swirls that mimic the animated character's 'Mini Maui' tattoos.
Variants
There are no known design variants of this specific Big-Fig. A standard-sized minifigure version of Maui was released in 2024, but this 2017 version remains unique in scale.
Condition Notes
Check for 'bite marks' or scratches on the soft Medium Nougat plastic. The arm joints can become loose over time, and the tattoo printing on the chest is prone to rubbing off if played with heavily.
Estimated Value
Used: $20.00 - $35.00 USD; New/Mint: $45.00+ USD. The value is heavily dependent on the presence of the fish hook accessory.
Price (New)
The set 41150 retailed for $39.99 USD in 2017. As the only Big-Fig in the set, Maui was the primary value driver.
Compatible Sets
41150 Moana's Ocean Voyage (2017).
Character Background
Maui is a demigod of South Pacific legend, a shapeshifter and hero of men. He is a primary character in the 2016 Disney film Moana.
Design Notes
This figure uses the 'Big-Fig' template (similar to Hulk or Thanos) to accurately represent Maui's massive screen presence compared to the Moana mini-doll.
Similar Minifigures
Hulk (sh013), Thanos (sh504), and the newer 2024 Maui standard minifigure (dp191).
Collectibility
High. Disney collectors and completionists seek this out because it is the only large-scale representation of the character that scales correctly with Moana mini-dolls.
History
Launched in the first wave of Disney's Moana sets. It was a stylistic departure as it paired a 'Big-Fig' with a 'Mini-doll' (Moana), a combination rarely seen in LEGO sets.
Interesting Facts
The tattoos on the figure actually feature the 'Mini Maui' character from the movie, which is a rare instance of a character printed onto another character.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the 41150 Wayfinding boat. UV protection is recommended to prevent the Lime Green 'grass skirt' from fading over time.
Modification Potential
The arms are removable (compatible with other Big-Fig pins), allowing for custom 'tattooed' arm swaps for MOCs or warriors.
Overall Assessment
An iconic and essential Disney figure. The tattoo detail remains some of the best ever produced on a LEGO Big-Fig. It is a 'Buy' for any Disney Animation fan.
