Figure ID
loc034
Theme
Legends of Chima
Year Released
2013-2014, debuting in set 70003 Eris' Eagle Interceptor
Rarity
Uncommon. While Eris is the main female protagonist, this specific variant with the pearl gold armor and toe printing was limited to mid-range sets.
Head
Bright Light Blue animal-molded eagle head with a yellow beak, white feathers, and blue eyes. The loose head in the image appears to be a separate flesh-toned minifigure head (possibly from a Star Wars or City theme) not belonging to this figure.
Torso
White torso with gold Eagle tribe armor printing, light blue 'CHI' orb, and golden plate details. Back printing features continuation of armor. Yellow hands.
Legs
White legs with gold and light blue scale armor printing. Features distinct gold talon/toe printing on the feet and wing-shaped knee guards.
Accessories
Includes Pearl Gold 'Chest Armor with Back Stud' (Part 11097). Missing her original brick-built 'Glax' ax and white feathered wings which attach to the back stud.
Color Scheme
Primary white and light blue with pearl gold and yellow accents. Reflective of the Eagle Tribe's sky-based aesthetic.
Printing Details
High-detail pad printing on the torso and the front of the legs, including rare toe/foot printing which was a hallmark of Chima's intricate designs.
Variants
Variants include a version without armor (loc002), a 'Fire Chi' version with red wings (loc081), and a Stealthor version.
Condition Notes
Main concern is the pearl gold armor piece which can show white stress marks or scratches. The light blue printing on the white plastic is prone to fading if exposed to UV light.

Character Background
Eris is the tactical leader of the Eagle Tribe, known for her intelligence and focus. She is a core ally to Laval in the battle for CHI in the land of Chima.
Design Notes
Chima figures pushed the boundaries of specialized head molds and detailed leg printing. The Eris head mold is highly specific to this character and tribe.
Similar Minifigures
Equila, Eglor, and Ewar are other Eagle Tribe members with similar color palettes and the same head mold.
Collectibility
Moderate. Chima has a dedicated cult following, but values remain stable rather than rapidly appreciating.
History
Launched in 2013 to succeed Ninjago (temporarily), Eris represents the peak of LEGO's 'Big Bang' theme era where lore and unique molds were prioritized.
Interesting Facts
The Chima head molds are designed so the 'eyes' of the character are printed on the animal mask, unlike early Star Wars aliens where eyes were printed on a standard head inside a mask.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed with a transparent bar to simulate flight, alongside other Eagle Tribe members in a sky-themed MOC.
Modification Potential
Excellent. The pearl gold armor and detailed white legs are highly sought after for 'Space Knight' or 'Paladin' custom minifigures.
Overall Assessment
A solid example of Chima's high production value. While missing wings and weapons, the torso and legs are in good condition. The extra flesh-colored head is not related to this figure.
