Character Background
The protagonist of The LEGO Movie, Emmet Brickowski is an ordinary construction worker who is mistaken for the 'Special'
Design Notes
Uses mismatched colored arms to simulate pajama sleeve patterns; one of the few times LEGO uses three different shades of blue on one torso assembly
Similar Minifigures
Pajama Batman (sh457), Pajama Jack Skellington (colnm02), and other Emmet variants
Collectibility
Moderate; essential for 'The LEGO Movie' completists and fans of the franchise, though supply remains relatively steady on second-hand markets
History
Part of the massive marketing push for the 2014 film, marking the first time LEGO created a wide range of civilian outfits for a single character
Interesting Facts
The star on his pajamas is a nod to the 'Star' characters seen later in the sequel; the mismatched arms are meant to represent the chaotic nature of Master Builder creativity
Display Suggestions
Display in a bedroom MOC or alongside other 'Everyday' versions of the movie cast within a dedicated CMF-style frame
Modification Potential
The sand blue legs are useful for custom police or doctor figures; the pajama torso is popular for 'bedtime' dioramas
Overall Assessment
A charming and unique variant of a classic character. While it lacks its hair piece in the photo, the torso rarity makes it a solid piece for any collection.
