Antonia (Ghost)
hs066 · Hidden Side
Wave 2 (Newbury Juice Bar) · 2020
Figure ID
hs066
Theme
Hidden Side
Year Released
2020
Rarity
Uncommon. Exclusive to a single set (40358) that was a promotional or small-scale release, but the character herself is part of the niche Hidden Side line which was discontinued after a short run.
Head
Transparent Bright Green (Neon) head with dual-sided printing. One side shows a 'haunted' cyborg face with a red cybernetic eye and a grimacing mouth. The head is topped with a standard Black Beanie/Stocking Cap piece.
Torso
Light Bluish Gray Hoodie with a dark brown sash containing three lime green 'juice' or potion vials. It features mismatched arms: the right arm is Dark Stone Gray with a Light Bluish Gray hand, and the left arm is Lime Green representing a ghostly mutation.
Legs
Dark Blue unprinted legs. These are standard 1x2 leg assemblies providing a grounded look to contrast the chaotic torso and head.
Accessories
In its original set, she typically comes with a wrench or juice-related items. The beanie is considered her primary headgear accessory. No cape or neck bracket are included in the base figure.
Color Scheme
A high-contrast mix of Light Bluish Gray and Dark Blue with striking Transparent Neon Green and Lime Green accents to represent the 'Glooom' infection/ghostly possession.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front and back) and head. The head printing is particularly notable for how opaque the colors appear over the transparent plastic. The torso features fine details like the zipper and the smiling faces on the vials.
Variants
Antonia appears in human form (hs054) with a dark tan jacket and normal flesh tones in other sets. This 'Ghost' version is the specific supernatural variant of the character.
Condition Notes
Main concern is the Transparent Bright Green head, which can show scratches easily. The black beanie can also suffer from 'biting' or tooth marks. Check for torso cracks under the arms, common in 2020-era figures.
Estimated Value
Used: $4.00 - $6.00 USD. New: $7.00 - $10.00 USD. The value is relatively stable as Hidden Side is a cult favorite but not a primary 'blue chip' investment theme.
Price (New)
Originally included in set 40358 (Newbury Juice Bar) which retailed for approximately $12.99 USD, making the figure roughly 1/3 of the set's value.
Compatible Sets
40358 Newbury Juice Bar (2020).
Character Background
Antonia is a resident of Newbury. In the Hidden Side lore, she is a friend of the main protagonists (Jack and Parker) and works at the juice bar before becoming possessed by the 'Glooom'—the ghostly essence from the Hidden Side.
Design Notes
Hidden Side figures are famous for 'mismatched' aesthetic parts to depict possession. The use of a transparent head on a 'civilian' body is a signature design choice for this theme.
Similar Minifigures
Possessed versions of other Newbury citizens like Jack (hs063), Chef Enzo (hs014), or the various 'Glooom' infected characters from the 2019-2020 waves.
Collectibility
Moderate. Collectors of 'spooky' or Halloween-themed LEGO appreciate this figure. While not highly expensive, it is essential for a complete Hidden Side character collection.
History
Released during the second wave of Hidden Side, which integrated AR (Augmented Reality) gameplay. This was LEGO's attempt to bridge physical play with a digital app, leading to highly creative minifigure designs.
Interesting Facts
Antonia is one of the few side characters to receive both a human and a fully 'possessed' variant across the theme's lifespan. The vials on her sash are a nod to the 'vibe' of the juice bar setting.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed under UV light to make the transparent green head glow. Pair her with the Newbury Juice Bar build or other ghost-hunting characters like JB.
Modification Potential
The transparent green head and lime green arm are highly sought after for MOC (My Own Creation) builders making radioactive mutants, aliens, or cyborgs.
Overall Assessment
A solid, mid-tier collectible that showcases the peak of LEGO's experimental 2020 design era. It is a visually distinct figure that offers great value for the price for horror and sci-fi fans.
