Figure ID

Theme
Collectible Minifigures
Year Released
2018 (Released to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the LEGO Minifigure)
Rarity
Uncommon. While part of a blind bag series, he was produced in standard quantities (3 per box of 60), unlike the 'Classic Policeman' from the same series.
Head
Yellow head with a determined expression, black eyebrows, and a small smirk. Note: In the image, the head appears to be a generic female yellow head (two eyelashes, thin lips), suggesting this specific figure is a 'mismatch' or custom assembly using the Dragon Suit body.
Torso
Green Dragon Suit torso with bright yellow belly/chest plates outlined in black. Includes green arms and dark green hands.
Legs
Green legs with black claw/toe printing on the feet, matching the dragon costume aesthetic.
Accessories
The official figure includes a green dragon headpiece with horns and a dragon tail. The image provided is missing these key accessories but retains the green dragon wings (inserted between the head and torso).
Color Scheme
Primary color is Green, with Bright Yellow accents on the belly and face, and Dark Green/Black details.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso front and the toes. The belly scales are well-defined with sharp black outlines.
Variants
This is the green version; a red version of this mold exists (Dragon Suit Guy, Series 23). The figure in the photo is a variant/mismatch because it uses a female head instead of the standard male smirking head.
Condition Notes
The wings are made of a slightly softer plastic and can show stress marks at the neck ring. The printing on the toes is prone to rubbing off over time.
Estimated Value
The complete figure is worth approximately $4-$7 USD. In the incomplete and mismatched state shown (missing headpiece/tail/correct head), it is valued at approximately $1-$2 USD.
Price (New)
Originally sold in blind bags for $3.99 USD in 2018.

Character Background
Part of the 'Costume Suit' mascot tradition in the CMF line. He is a person dressed as a dragon for the 40th-anniversary minifigure party.
Design Notes
The wing element is a specific mold designed to fit around the neck post, allowing it to be used on any standard minifigure.
Similar Minifigures
Dragon Suit Guy (Series 23 Red version), Lizard Man (Series 5), Dino Guy (Series 13).
Collectibility
Moderate. Costume suit characters are highly collectible as a sub-group, but this specific figure is incomplete.
History
Series 18 was a milestone series celebrating four decades of minifigures, introducing several iconic 'party' and 'costume' themed characters.
Interesting Facts
The dragon suit tail and head pieces are compatible with the Red Dragon from Series 23, allowing for 'MOC' color swapping.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a CMF-specific shadow box or alongside other 'Suit Guys' like the Shark Suit Guy or Pizza Costume Guy.
Modification Potential
Excellent for fantasy MOCs. The wings and torso are often used by fans to create custom 'Dragonborn' or reptile-man characters.
Overall Assessment
This is an incomplete Dragon Suit Guy (col314) with a non-standard head. While the torso, wings, and legs are authentic, the missing headpiece and tail significantly reduce its value to collectors.
