Rarity
Uncommon. While part of a retail series, Series 18 had a specific distribution; the Forest Elf was 1 of 3 figures per box of 60.
Head
Yellow classic skin tone with a smile, subtle eyeshadow, and beauty mark. Features long bright light orange hair with an integrated silver metallic tiara/crown.
Torso
Bright green torso with lime green, dark green, and silver printing. Design depicts a leafy, nature-inspired lace or leaf-patterned bodice.
Legs
2x2x2 sloped dress piece (skirt) in bright green with lime and silver filigree printing matching the torso pattern.
Accessories
Includes a transparent clear goblet and a small white unicorn foal with a pearl silver horn and gold-colored mane/tail.
Color Scheme
Primary colors are Bright Green and Lime Green, accented with Pearl Silver printing and Bright Light Orange hair.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso front and the front section of the dress slope. No printing on the back of the torso or hair. Alignment is typically excellent.
Variants
Prior to this release, 'Forest' themed female figures appeared in the Castle theme (e.g., Forest Maiden), but this specific design is exclusive to Series 18.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include the silver horn on the unicorn foal (paint rub) and scratches on the transparent goblet. The hair piece is hard plastic and durable.
Estimated Value
Used: $5.00 - $8.00; New (sealed in foil pack): $10.00 - $14.00. The value is relatively stable.

Character Background
This figure represents a guest at a costume party celebrating the minifigure's 40th anniversary. Like others in the series, she is wearing an elaborate forest/nature-themed costume.
Design Notes
The use of the dress slope instead of traditional legs limits mobility but enhances the 'elfin' or 'royal' aesthetic. The unicorn foal was a highly sought-after element at release.
Similar Minifigures
Series 9 Forest Maiden (col131), Series 22 Night Protector, or various Elves theme figures.
Collectibility
High for 'Party' completionists. The unicorn foal accessory makes it popular even for general collectors who don't collect the full CMF line.
History
Part of the landmark Series 18, which was the first CMF series to feature a 'chase' figure (The Classic Police Officer) and focused entirely on a costume party theme.
Interesting Facts
The unicorn foal is one of the smallest molded creatures with a separate horn color; the leaf printing on her dress is stylistically similar to the LEGO Elves theme aesthetic.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside other Series 18 party-goers or in a fantasy-themed MOC. Works well in woodland settings with botanical elements.
Modification Potential
The head and hair are excellent for high-fantasy 'Noble' customs. The dress piece is unique and fits well with 'Forestmen' or 'Elven' castle builds.
Overall Assessment
A charming and well-designed figure. While not the most expensive in its series, the included unicorn foal provides excellent value and visual appeal for collectors.
