Rarity
Unique/Rare. While the parts themselves are standard, the specific combination and the 'Minifigure Factory' torso printing make it a personalized item often limited to flagship stores.
Head
Yellow classic skin tone with black hair piece. Features a face with yellow-rimmed glasses, a black beard, and a smiling expression. This head is common across City and Creator themes.
Torso
Black torso with highly detailed 'Minifigure Factory' printing. The design features a medieval chainmail collar, purple vertical double-stitched lines, and a silver decorative belt with a dragon/serpent buckle. Includes a white cape/scarf neck attachment.
Legs
Plain black unprinted legs with a black hip piece. This is the most common leg color in LEGO history.
Accessories
Includes a white rigid neck cape/collar piece and a black 2x2 tile or small rectangular plate held in the right hand, likely representing a tablet or book.
Color Scheme
Primary colors are black and yellow, with silver and purple accent printing on the torso. The white neck accessory provides a high-contrast focal point.
Printing Details
High-quality UV digital printing (standard for Minifigure Factory). Features intricate scale patterns on the chainmail and fine line-work on the purple tunic details. No arm or leg printing.
Variants
Infinite variants exist as the Minifigure Factory allows users to mix and match any available head, hair, and legs with custom-printed torsos.
Condition Notes
Look for UV print fading on the torso or scratches on the plain black legs. The white neck piece is prone to 'fanning' out or catching dust in the crevices.
Estimated Value
$15.00 - $30.00 USD. The value is tied more to the novelty of the custom torso than the rarity of the individual plastic components.
Price (New)
$11.99 - $14.99 USD (Standard price for a custom Minifigure Factory experience in LEGO stores).
Compatible Sets
Not available in retail sets; created through the LEGO Minifigure Factory stations in flagship stores like London, New York, or Berlin.
Character Background
Likely a 'SigFig' (Signature Minifigure) representing the owner or a specific character created using the modular design system in a LEGO Brand Store.
Design Notes
The torso design is a digital interpretation of classic 'Black Knights' or 'Fright Knights' aesthetics, updated with modern purple accents and high-resolution detailing.
Similar Minifigures
Classic Black Knights, Fright Knights Basil the Bat Lord, or other LEGO Store exclusive Build-a-Minifigure knights.
Collectibility
Moderate. Collectors of 'Brand Store' memorabilia highly prize unique torso prints that cannot be found in standard boxed sets.
History
Represents the modern era of LEGO personalization, where technology (UV printing) allows for on-demand custom figures inside retail environments.
Interesting Facts
The Minifigure Factory was first trialed in Copenhagen in 2018 before rolling out globally. The 'Castle' theme remains one of the most popular templates for custom designs.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a Minifigure Factory box or a custom acrylic tiered case to highlight the unique torso print.
Modification Potential
Excellent; because it uses standard connections, it can be upgraded with official LEGO Castle shields, swords, or more detailed dual-molded legs.
Overall Assessment
A charming example of LEGO's 'Minifigure Factory' customization. While not a high-value vintage rarity, it holds sentimental and unique 'one-off' collector value for its specific print.
