Rarity
Common for Series 25, but retired from production. This figure was distributed in blind boxes rather than pouches, making specific identification harder without scanning QR codes.

Yellow skin tone with a happy expression and closed-mouth smile. It is worn beneath a large, molded goldfish headpiece featuring googly-style eyes, an orange pouty mouth, and scale printing.
Torso
Bright Orange with printed yellow scales on the front and back. The arms are replaced with specialized orange fin-shaped pieces that lack traditional hands.
Legs
Standard Bright Orange legs with printed yellow scale patterns on the front to match the torso.
Accessories
Includes a 1x1 yellow round brick with a goldfish-food label print, a 1x1 blue round tile representing a bowl lid, and a lime green 3x4 stand.
Color Scheme
A vibrant monochromatic orange and yellow palette, intended to mimic a classic goldfish (Carassius auratus).
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the headpiece, torso, and legs. Subtle scale patterns are aligned across the seams of the torso and legs.
Variants
No official variants exist for this specific figure as of Series 25.
Condition Notes
Prone to scratches on the large glossy surface of the goldfish headpiece and friction wear on the fin-arm connections.

Character Background
Part of the long-standing tradition of 'Costume Suit' characters in the CMF line, such as the Shark Suit Guy or the Lobster Suit Batman.
Design Notes
The fin-arms are a distinct departure from standard minifigure articulation, sacrifice hand grip for character-specific silhouette accuracy.

Collectibility
High demand for 'Costume Suit' completionists; however, current market supply is high since it is a recent release.
History
Part of the first 2024 CMF wave, continuing the transition into sustainable cardboard packaging.
Interesting Facts
The printed fish food tin is a 1x1 round brick, which is less common than the standard 1x1 plate usually used for food accessories.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed with other marine-themed costume characters or in a LEGO City pet shop scene.
Modification Potential
The torso and headpiece are excellent for fantasy MOCs (My Own Creations) involving fish-people or merfolk.
Overall Assessment
A charming and well-executed figure with a unique mold for the fins. A must-have for costume-suit collectors.
