Rarity
Uncommon. As a Series 9 figure from 2013, it is discontinued and increasingly difficult to find in pristine condition, though not as rare as limited-edition movie licensed figures.
Head
Unique Sand Blue molded head piece with a single large yellow eye and a white protruding horn. It features printed teeth and pointed ears integrated into the mold.
Torso
Sand Blue torso with an Olive Green tattered tunic print. The print includes bone details and jagged edges. The arms are solid Sand Blue with Sand Blue hands.
Legs
Sand Blue short legs with Olive Green tattered loincloth printing on the hip and top of the legs, matching the torso aesthetic.
Accessories
Originally includes a brown wooden club accessory and a black 3x4 display stand. (Note: Accessories are missing in the provided image).
Color Scheme
Primary Sand Blue skin tone with Olive Green clothing accents and a highlight of bright yellow for the single eye.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the eye and torso. Printing is crisp, typical of early 2010s CMF standards, with minimal alignment issues.
Variants
No official color variants exist; however, this mold was a significant departure from standard minifigure heads of the era.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include the tip of the rubberized/plastic horn which can get scuffed, and the joints (hips/arms) losing clutch power over time. The photo shows minor grime and used play condition.
Estimated Value
Used: $5 - $8 USD; New/Sealed in bag: $12 - $18 USD. Individual head piece: $3 - $4 USD.
Price (New)
Originally retailed for $2.99 USD in 2013 as part of the blind bag Series 9 line.
Compatible Sets
71000 LEGO Minifigures Series 9; also fits well in MOCs for Castle, Fantasy, or Mythology themes.
Character Background
Based on the mythological Greek creature, the Cyclops is characterized in LEGO lore as a somewhat dim-witted but strong mythical inhabitant of caves and mountains.
Design Notes
The head is a unique mold that combines the head and headgear into one single piece to accommodate the large singular eye design accurately.
Similar Minifigures
Cyclops (Series 13 - specialized female variant), Caveman (Series 1), and various monsters from the 'Monster Fighters' or 'Mythology' themed lines.
Collectibility
Moderate to High. Completionists of the CMF line frequently seek this figure to finish their Series 9 collection. It remains popular due to its mythological theme.
History
Part of the first few years of the CMF era (post-2010), representing LEGO's move toward highly specific, single-character molds that couldn't easily be made using standard parts.
Interesting Facts
The Cyclops head mold was later reused and recolored for other 'monster' or 'alien' type characters in various themes, but this specific Sand Blue version is the original.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed with the Series 13 Lady Cyclops or in a cavernous scene with other Series 9 figures like the Forest Maiden or the Knight.
Modification Potential
The head piece is a solid candidate for custom sci-fi alien MOCs. The olive green tattered printing makes it useful for orc or barbarian customs.
Overall Assessment
A solid, classic Collectible Minifigure with a great unique mold. While the image shows it is missing accessories, the figure itself is a nostalgic piece of the 2013 CMF wave.
