Design Notes
Uses a unique oversized head mold that fits over the torso neck peg but is not a standard head-and-hair combination
Similar Minifigures
Series 1 Caveman, Series 13 Goblin, Series 15 Faun, and the larger mold Cyclops from the Heroica or Castle themes
Collectibility
High demand for 'army builders' and fantasy enthusiasts; value has remained stable but shows slow long-term appreciation
History
Part of the ninth wave of the Collectible Minifigures line which helped expand LEGO's original character IP
Interesting Facts
The Cyclops is the first minifigure to feature a headpiece that includes molded ears, a horn, and tusks as a single solid piece
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a fantasy Diorama with 'Ancient Greek' or 'Castle' builds; looks great with the S10 Medusa
Modification Potential
The head is frequently used by MOC builders for creating custom Orcs, Trolls, or alien species
Overall Assessment
A solid, well-designed figure that serves as a cornerstone of the early CMF fantasy characters. Highly recommended for affordable collection building.
