Emmet Brickowski is an ordinary, rules-following, unremarkable construction worker who is mistaken for the Special, the prophesied master builder destined to save the LEGO universe from Lord Business.
Design Notes
Uses a standard male minifigure body with a specialized tousled blonde hair piece created specifically for the movie's main protagonist to capture his goofy yet lovable personality.
History
Debuted in 2014 as the face of LEGO's cinematic universe expansion, representing a massive shift toward entertainment-driven proprietary themes.

Collectibility
Moderate to low collectibility for this specific common variant due to high production numbers, though essential for complete The LEGO Movie character collections.
