Year Released
2024. Released in September as part of the official LEGO and Wizards of the Coast collaboration for the 50th anniversary of D&D.
Rarity
Common (Blind Box). However, due to the high demand for D&D figures, specific characters like the Elf Bard/Maim are highly sought after compared to other common CMFs.
Head
Dual-sided light flesh head. One side features a cheerful singing expression with closed eyes, and the reverse shows a more serious, focused expression. Character features pointed elf ears combined with a new tan hairpiece mold.
Torso
Highly detailed green and gold tunic printing. Features leather straps, a small pouch, and intricate elven embroidery. Printing continues onto the back. Light flesh arms with light blue sleeves.
Legs
Dual-molded legs with green top and brown bottom to represent boots. Front and side printing includes leather armor plating and lacing details.
Accessories
Includes a blue printed lute (exclusive print), a rapier (sword), and a 1x1 round tile with a printed gold coin pattern. Comes with a black display stand featuring a D&D logo print.
Color Scheme
Primary colors are forest green, tan, and brown, with accents of gold and azure blue, reflecting a classic forest-elf aesthetic.
Printing Details
Premium CMF quality with high-resolution pad printing on the head, torso (front/back), and legs (front/side). The lute features a specialized wood-grain and string print.
Variants
This is the primary version. The character is designed to be customizable as a generic Elf Bard or the specific character Maim.
Condition Notes
Since this is a new 2024 release, common issues involve manufacturing scratches on the lute or rapier. The blind box packaging (6623274 scan code visible in image) protects the figure from UV but not from 'shaking' wear.
Estimated Value
New (Sealed): $5.00 - $7.00. Used Complete: $4.00 - $6.00. Value stays close to MSRP due to current availability.
Price (New)
$4.99 USD. This was the individual blind box retail price at launch.
Compatible Sets
71047 LEGO Minifigures - Dungeons & Dragons Series; also highly compatible with 21348 Dungeons & Dragons: Red Dragon's Tale.
Character Background
Maim is an Elf Bard, a class known for using music and magic to inspire allies and hinder enemies. Bards are iconic figures in D&D lore, often serving as the heart of an adventuring party.
Design Notes
Features a new hair-and-ear combined mold specifically designed to allow for pointed ears without requiring a separate head attachment. The lute print is a significant upgrade over previous versions.
Similar Minifigures
Series 24 Elf Maiden, Series 22 Night Protector, and the characters within the 21348 Red Dragon's Tale set.
Collectibility
Extremely high. This series is expected to hold value well due to the crossover with the Dungeons & Dragons hobbyist market.
History
Represents the first time LEGO has produced a dedicated CMF series for a licensed tabletop RPG, marking a major milestone in LEGO's collaborative history.
Interesting Facts
The QR-style data matrix code on the bottom of the box (scannable via apps) allows collectors to identify the figure inside without opening the blind packaging, a feature return based on fan feedback.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a tavern MOC or alongside a D20 die. Use a clear tiered display case to show off the back printing of the tunic.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'purist' customs; the head and hair can be used to create Legolas variants or other fantasy elves. The lute is a highly desired part for medieval MOCs.
Overall Assessment
10/10. An essential figure for fantasy fans. The level of detail on the lute and the dual-molded legs make it one of the strongest entries in the 71047 series.
