Theme
The LEGO Batman Movie
Year Released
2017 - Released as part of the massive marketing campaign for The LEGO Batman Movie, which satiricalized the character's history and brooding nature.
Rarity
Uncommon - While mass-produced in the blind-bag series, it is a retired figure from a specific 20-character series, making it harder to find in mint condition today.
Head
Standard Batman cowl in Bright Pink with large rounded ears. The head underneath is a light flesh-tone with a white headband (to represent the eyes through the cowl) and a dual-sided expression: one determined/grumpy and one slightly confused.
Torso
Pink torso with printed Batman logo encased in a white heart/oval. Details include muscle definition and a pink utility belt. Arms are pink with black 'tutu' frill printing at the shoulder; hands are pink.
Legs
Pink hip piece with short pink 'tights' printing. The legs transition to a black 'tutu' mid-thigh print, with pink lace-up ballet slipper printing on the lower shins and feet.
Accessories
In its complete original form, the figure includes a pink wand with a star and a set of white translucent fairy wings that attach via a neck bracket. (Note: These are missing in the provided photo).
Color Scheme
Monochromatic Bright Pink and Light Pink, with accents of White and Black for the tutu and lace details.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing featuring 360-degree application including the front, back, and sides of the legs to simulate ballet slippers and the tutu transition.
Variants
This is the primary version from the CMF series. A similar 'Pink Power Bat-Suit' (sh351) exists but features a different torso print without the tutu theme.
Condition Notes
Common wear includes 'heel cracks' on the legs from being placed on studs, and scratches on the pink cowl. The white wand accessory is fragile and prone to snapping.
Estimated Value
Used (Complete): $5-$8 USD; New/Sealed in bag: $10-$15 USD. The figure in the photo is missing wings and wand, lowering value to roughly $3-$4 USD.
Price (New)
Originally sold in blind bags for $3.99 USD in 2017.
Compatible Sets

Character Background
Based on a brief sight gag in 'The LEGO Batman Movie' where Batman shows off his massive wardrobe of alternative 'Bat-suits' to Robin. It represents the character's flamboyant and humorous side.
Design Notes
Utilizes the distinct 'LEGO Batman Movie' cowl mold which features shorter ears than the standard DC Comics version. The contrast of the 'tough' Batman persona with the soft fairy aesthetic is a masterpiece of character design.
Similar Minifigures
Clan of the Cave Batman, Vacation Batman, Glam Metal Batman, and the Pink Power Bat-Suit.
Collectibility
High for 'Bat-suit' completionists. The LEGO Batman Movie suits are highly sought after by collectors who enjoy the humorous 'puns' on the Batman brand.
History
Part of the First Wave of LEGO Batman Movie CMFs, which expanded the lore of the movie by providing all the weird and wacky suits that didn't fit into the retail play sets.
Interesting Facts
The tutu printing on the legs was one of the first times LEGO used such intricate side-leg printing for a non-licensed superhero line figure.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a wall-mounted CMF frame alongside the other 19 characters from Series 1, or in a 'Bat-Cave' MOC featuring a rotating wardrobe rack.
Modification Potential
The pink cowl is a popular part for 'Pink Lantern' or 'Pink Arrow' custom superhero builds. The torso and legs are often used for custom ballerina figures.
Overall Assessment
A humorous, iconic, and well-designed figure that encapsulates the spirit of the 2017 film. Highly recommended for any Batman fan, though the example provided is missing essential accessories.
