Legends of Chima
Year Released
2014 - Released during the peak of Chima's original run, debuting in the largest sets of the ice-themed wave.
Rarity
Uncommon. While he is the primary antagonist of his wave, he only appeared in two retail sets and one specialized accessory pack.
Head
Features a unique Saber-tooth Tiger head mold in Sand Blue with a translucent light blue underside to mimic ice/frozen flesh. One eye is printed red to indicate corruption/power.
Torso
White torso with highly detailed printing of 'CHI' armor, featuring an orange/brown bone motif and a central light blue 'CHI' orb. Left arm is Trans-Light Blue (ice), right arm is White.
Legs
Dual-molded or uniquely printed legs: The right leg is White with fur printing, while the left leg is Trans-Light Blue to represent a frozen limb, featuring black claw marks.
Accessories
Typically comes with a large 'Saber-toothed' staff or ice-powered sword and a Trans-Light Blue cape (not pictured). The figure in the image is missing the cape and weapons.
Color Scheme
A 'frozen' palette consisting of White, Sand Blue, and Trans-Light Blue, accented by a contrasting warm orange armor print.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front and back) and legs. The 'ice' effect is achieved through the use of translucent plastic combined with printing to create depth.
Variants
There are three main variants: This standard version (loc082), a version with a slightly different cape, and a 'Straitjacket' version (loc103) from the Tigers' Mobile Command.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include the 'ice' arm and leg which are made of polycarbonate and can develop cracks at the joints more easily than standard ABS plastic.
Estimated Value
$8.00 - $12.00 USD (Used/Incomplete as shown), $20.00 - $25.00 USD (Used Complete with cape/weapons), $35.00+ (New/Mint condition).

Character Background
Sir Fangar is the leader of the Saber-tooth Tiger Tribe and the primary villain of the 'Fire vs. Ice' storyline. After being frozen for millennia, he leads the Hunters to freeze all of Chima.
Design Notes
Significant for its early use of large-scale translucent limb elements. The mold for the head is unique to the Saber-tooth tribe, emphasizing their larger fangs compared to the Lion or Tiger tribes.
Similar Minifigures
Stealthor (loc083), Maula (loc090), and Strainor (loc084) — all members of the Ice Hunter tribes featuring similar frozen aesthetics.
Collectibility
High for Chima fans. Sir Fangar is the 'big bad' of the second half of the series, making him essential for completing the main character lineup.
History
Chima was LEGO's 'Big Bang' theme successor to Ninjago. This figure represents the transition into more complex, multi-material minifigure designs used in the mid-2010s.
Interesting Facts
Sir Fangar is one of the few LEGO characters whose design intentionally features a 'disability' or physical transformation, represented by his transparent ice-molded limbs.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a white or trans-blue baseplate to simulate snow. He looks best when flanked by his Saber-tooth soldiers or facing off against Fluminox.
Modification Potential
The translucent limbs are highly sought after by MOC builders for creating elemental beings or ice-themed fantasy characters.
Overall Assessment
A visually striking minifigure with excellent material variety. Despite the missing accessories in the photo, the figure's unique frozen limbs and detailed head mold make it a standout piece of Chima history.
