Year Released
2016 - First released in April as part of the initial movie tie-in wave.
Rarity
Uncommon. While the theme was widely distributed, it had a very short production lifespan (one year), and this specific version was exclusive to a single larger set.
Head
Single-piece specialized mold comprising the entire body; features lime green skin, printed wide-open smiling mouth with white teeth and red tongue, black eyebrows, and protruding ears.
Torso
Integrated with the head and legs; features lime green arms with black hands. No separate torso component exists as the body is a single specialized plastic shell.
Legs
Integrated into the body mold; stump-style non-articulated legs with printed lime green toe indentations at the base.
Accessories
None included with the figure itself in this image; typically interacts with brick-built catapults or structures in its parent set.
Color Scheme
Dominant Lime Green with Black (hands), White (eyes/teeth), and Red (tongue).
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on a curved lime green surface. Features large facial details and subtle dark green freckle dots near the eyes. No back printing.
Variants
Several similar pigs exist: ang003 (standard hands), ang004 (Chef Pig), ang009 (Foreman Pig), ang010 (King Pig), and ang019 (Pirate Pig). This variant is distinct for its black hands.
Condition Notes
The lime green plastic is prone to visible scuffing and scratches. The black hands are thin at the wrist and can suffer from stress marks or breakage. Check the stud on top for tooth marks.
Estimated Value
Used: $3.00 - $5.00 USD; New: $7.00 - $10.00 USD. Value is driven primarily by completionsists of the short-lived theme.
Price (New)
Included in set 75824 (Pig City Teardown) which retailed for $39.99 USD in 2016.

Character Background
The 'Minion Pigs' are the primary antagonists of the Angry Birds franchise, serving King Pig in his quest to steal eggs. This version represents the generic common pig as seen in the 2016 animated film.
Design Notes
This figure represents a departure from the 'system' minifigure, utilizing a unique 2-part assembly (front and back shells) rather than traditional head/torso/legs to better mimic the spherical nature of the game characters.
Similar Minifigures
Other pigs from the 2016 line (ang003, ang020) and various versions of the birds like Red (ang001) or Chuck (ang002).
Collectibility
Medium-Low. While unique and nostalgic for fans of the era, the non-standard parts limit its appeal for MOC builders, and the theme is currently dormant.
History
Released to coincide with the first Angry Birds Movie. The theme only lasted through 2016. These figures were controversial among purists for being 'doll-like' and not traditional minifigures.
Interesting Facts
The studs on top of the pig's head allows it to wear standard LEGO hats, such as bird nests or crowns, adding a layer of system compatibility to the specialized mold.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for a vertical 'game level' vignette using clear trans-blue bricks to simulate glass or brown plates for wood, imitating the physics gameplay of the source material.
Modification Potential
Low due to specialized mold, though the studs on top allow for various headgear. The arms are standard minifigure arms and can be swapped for other colors easily.
Overall Assessment
A charming, accurate representation of the movie character. It suffers from limited utility outside of its theme but remains a fun piece of LEGO history from a peak period of licensed brand experimentation.
