Legs
White legs with intricate Pearl Gold and Dark Blue printing depicting feathers, belt detail, and three golden talons printed on the feet.

Color Scheme
A palette comprising White, Medium Azure, Pearl Gold, and Yellow hands to simulate the avian character design.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing typical of the Chima era. The leg printing includes detailed talons on the toes, which was a high level of detail for 2013.

Condition Notes
Common wear points include the tip of the eagle beak and potential stress marks on the gold chest armor bracket. This figure should have a headgear piece that is missing here.

$3 - $6 USD for used/incomplete (as shown). $8 - $12 USD for complete with wings and weapons.

Retail sets ranged from $9.99 (Speedorz) to $50+. Individual figure value was approximately $4.00 at launch.
Compatible Sets
70003 Eris' Eagle Interceptor, 70013 Equila's Ultra Striker, and 70101 Target Practice (Speedorz).
Character Background
Eris is the main female protagonist of the Legends of Chima series, a strategic and courageous warrior belonging to the Eagle Tribe and a loyal friend to Laval.
Design Notes
The Chima line introduced highly specialized molded animal headpieces. The layering of chest armor and wing backpacks was a design hallmark of this theme.
Similar Minifigures
Equila (loc004), Eglor (loc005), and other Eagle Tribe members like Ewar.
Collectibility
Moderate. Chima has a dedicated cult following, but values have remained stable rather than skyrocketing compared to Star Wars or Marvel.
History
Chima was LEGO's big 'in-house' replacement for Ninjago (though both ended up running simultaneously). Eris was the flagship female character for the brand.
Interesting Facts
The Eagle Tribe was known for their high-altitude 'Eagle Spires' and their rivalry with the Raven Tribe, based on intelligence over greed.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a transparent flying stand to simulate air combat, ideally next to Laval (Lion Tribe) or against Razar (Raven Tribe).
Modification Potential
Excellent for fantasy MOCs. The white and gold feathered legs are popular for Dungeons & Dragons Aarakocra custom minifigures.
Overall Assessment
A beautiful figure representing the peak of LEGO's original fantasy worldbuilding. This specific unit is incomplete (missing headgear/wings) but the base parts remain in good condition.
