Year Released
Released in 2020 as part of the 21161 The Crafting Box 3.0 set, during a period of expansion for the Minecraft theme into more diverse player skins.
Rarity
Uncommon; it is exclusive to a single larger 'Crafting Box' set, making it harder to find than standard Steve or Alex figures.
Head
Medium Lilac 2x2x2 cube head with pixelated printing: yellow eyes, white mask area, and pink/magenta pixel geometric patterns on top and forehead.
Torso
Medium Lilac torso with pixelated pixel art print on front, featuring Dark Purple, Magenta, and Light Pink blocks; lilac arms and white hands.
Legs
Standard solid Black unprinted legs with black hip piece.
Accessories
As shown, the figure is missing its original accessories which include a white bow and a TNT block.
Color Scheme
A vibrant combination of Medium Lilac, Dark Purple, Magenta, and White, designed to stand out against standard Minecraft biomes.
Printing Details
High-quality pixel-style pad printing on the front of the torso and the front of the cube head; no printing on back, sides, or legs.
Variants
None known; this specific pixel skin/pattern is unique to the min084 identifier.
Condition Notes
The cube head edges are prone to 'flea bites' or paint chipping; check the white hands for cracks which are common in play-worn figures.
Estimated Value
Used complete is valued at $4.00 - $6.00 USD; used incomplete (as shown) is approximately $2.50 - $4.00 USD.
Price (New)
Available in set 21161 which retailed for $79.99 USD in 2020.
Compatible Sets
21161 Minecraft The Crafting Box 3.0 (2020).
Character Background
Represents a 'Griefer' player skin, a term in Minecraft culture for players who intentionally destroy others' creations or cause chaos using TNT and bows.
Design Notes
Utilizes the specialized 2x2x2 Minecraft head mold with recessed under-neck connection; the pixel art aligns with the 8-bit aesthetic of the game.
Similar Minifigures
Other player skins like the Potion Enthusiast (min081) or various Steve and Alex variants.
Collectibility
Moderate; desirable for 'skin collectors' who want every unique player avatar released in the Minecraft theme rather than just mobs.
History
Part of the third iteration of the 'Crafting Box' series which focuses on creative building rather than a set location.
Interesting Facts
Despite the name, this figure is a 'hero' skin provided to players in the manual to act as an antagonist in their custom-built dioramas.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside TNT blocks or a Creeper to emphasize the 'Griefer' persona in a Minecraft village MOC.
Modification Potential
The head and torso are excellent for building custom 'End' themed characters or neon-styled cyberpunk minifigures.
Overall Assessment
A solid B-tier Minecraft figure; the unique lilac color and pixel pattern are visually striking, though it lacks the 'iconic' status of a Creeper or Enderman.
