Collectibility
High as an entry-point character for Disney collectors; stable value since retirement.
History
Part of the first-ever LEGO Disney CMF series which paved the way for multiple Disney-themed sets and series.
Interesting Facts
Despite his importance, Mickey was not the rarest figure in this series; characters like Maleficent and Stitch often commanded higher secondary prices.
Display Suggestions
Displays well alongside Disney Series 1 Minnie Mouse against a Castle-themed background or in a framed CMF display case.
Modification Potential
Low for purist collectors due to a unique head mold; parts are iconic and hard to repurpose for MOCs.

9/10 - An essential cornerstone for any LEGO Disney or CMF collector due to its iconic status and faithful design.
