Rarity
Uncommon; as a modern Collectible Minifigure (CMF), it is limited to the blind-boxed series production window, though not considered ultra-rare due to mass distribution.
Head
Standard yellow minifigure head with dual-sided printing: one side features sunglasses (orange lenses) with a cool smirk, the other features a broad smile. Hair is not included as the costume serves as the headgear.
Torso
Pink torso with light pink arms and yellow hands. The front features a print of the character's face peeking through a bubble tea cup opening, though the primary visual is the pink 'Boba' overlay piece.
Legs
Standard light pink unprinted legs to match the arm color.
Accessories
Includes a unique trans-pink 'Boba' cup costume overlay piece with a printed 'boba' logo and black tapioca pearls, a straw element, and two cherry-shaped accessories held in each hand. Comes with a black 3x4 CMF display stand.
Color Scheme
Monochromatic pink theme consisting of Bright Pink and Light Pink, accented by transparent pink plastic and yellow hands/head.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the transparent costume piece including the white 'boba' logo and dark circles for pearls. The face print includes detailed orange-tinted sunglasses with white highlights.
Variants
None known at this time as this is a new release for 2025. This is the standard Series 27 version.
Condition Notes
Watch for scratches on the large transparent pink costume piece, as trans-clear plastics show wear easily. Ensure the small straw/cherry elements are not lost as they are unique colors for these molds.

Current market value is approximately $5.00 - $7.00 USD for a new/identified figure. Resale value typically stays close to MSRP during the initial release year.

Character Background
Part of the LEGO CMF 'Costume' sub-line, which features characters dressed as food or objects. This character represents the modern global popularity of bubble tea culture.
Design Notes
The 'Boba' costume piece is a brand-new mold for 2025, utilizing dual-molded effects or high-quality printing on transparent plastic to simulate liquid inside a cup. It follows the tradition of the Series 18 'Pizza Suit' and similar food-based figures.

Pizza Costume Guy (col315), Pea Pod Costume Girl (col355), Watermelon Dude (tlm156), and Popcorn Costume Guy (col403).
Collectibility
High for 'costume' completionists. LEGO food-themed minifigures tend to hold value well over time due to their popularity in city-themed MOCs and dioramas.
History
Debuted in the first wave of 2025, continuing the long-running Collectible Minifigures line that began in 2010. It reflects LEGO's trend of incorporating more Gen-Z and Gen-Alpha lifestyle trends into their designs.
Interesting Facts
The straw piece is a repurposing of a standard LEGO bar element, but the cherries in bright pink are a rare color variation for that specific plant/food element.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a CMF-specific wall case or a city scene next to a beverage stand or mall area. Use bright white lighting to make the transparent pink plastic 'glow'.
Modification Potential
The transparent cup piece is excellent for custom MOCs involving giant beverage containers or sci-fi stasis pods. The pink legs and arms are useful for custom 'Barbie-core' or monochrome-themed figures.
Overall Assessment
A standout figure of Series 27 due to its vibrant colors and unique mold. Highly recommended for collectors who enjoy the whimsical 'costume' sub-series of the CMF line.
