Figure ID
hp142
Theme
Harry Potter / Fantastic Beasts
Year Released
2018; coincided with the revival of the LEGO Wizarding World line after a long hiatus following the main Harry Potter films.
Rarity
Uncommon; exclusive to a single retail set and a limited-edition Bricktober pack, making it harder to find than the CMF version.
Head
Light flesh tone with dark orange wavy hair (parted to the side); dual-sided print featuring a nervous/unsure expression and a more determined look.
Torso
Sand blue long coat with dark bluish gray vest, white shirt, and a small gold pocket watch detail; sand blue arms and light flesh hands.
Legs
Dark bluish gray hips and top of legs with black boots (dual-molded or printed); features coat-tail printing that continues from the torso.
Accessories
Typically includes a brown wand and a tan suitcase (not pictured in your image); may also be associated with Niffler or Bowtruckle figures.
Color Scheme
A muted palette of sand blue, dark bluish gray, and black, reflecting the 1920s period aesthetic of the film.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on torso front and back; includes subtle details like the gold watch chain and coat buttons; notable leg-to-torso alignment for the coat tails.
Variants
Variants include colhp22 (Series 1 CMF in dark blue coat) and hp174 (yellowish-brown vest version). This sand blue version is specific to the Grindelwald set.
Condition Notes
Watch for hairpiece paint wear and neck cracks; the junction where the sand blue print meets the black legs is prone to scratching.
Estimated Value
$10 - $15 USD used; $20+ as part of a sealed set.
Price (New)
Retail for set 75951 was $19.99, which included a carriage, a Thestral, and Grindelwald.
Compatible Sets
75951 Grindelwald's Escape and the 5005254 Harry Potter Minifigure Collection (Bricktober 2018).
Character Background
Protagonist of the Fantastic Beasts series; a Magizoologist and author of 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them'.
Design Notes
The sand blue color choice is a specific design departure from the darker teal/navy seen in the first film's merchandise to match the second film's costume.
Similar Minifigures
Gellert Grindelwald (sh0531), Albus Dumbledore (hp147), and the Collectible Minifigure Series version of Newt.
Collectibility
High for Wizarding World completists, especially as Newt is the primary protagonist of his respective sub-line.
History
First debuted in 2016 (Dimensions pack), but this specific 2018 design reflects the updated 'Crimes of Grindelwald' appearance.
Interesting Facts
The suitcase accessory often included with this figure was a new mold in 2018 designed specifically to hold more items than the older LEGO briefcase mold.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside a 1x2 tan tile representing his book or with a LEGO Niffler in a 1920s urban street MOC.
Modification Potential
The sand blue torso is a popular part for custom 1920s or Victorian-era civilian minifigures.
Overall Assessment
A solid, era-accurate representation of the character that holds value well due to the popularity of Eddie Redmayne's portrayal and set exclusivity.
