Theme
Angry Birds
Year Released
2016 - Debuted in the set Stella's Egg Chase. Released during the height of licensed mobile-to-movie merchandise transitions.
Rarity
Uncommon. While the theme was widely distributed, it had a very short production run (one year), and Stella specifically only appeared in one set (75824).
Head
Non-standard. The head and body are a single unique molded piece. Features large blue eyes with black eyelashes, a yellow beak, and a pink crest of feathers atop the head.
Torso
Integrated into the body mold. Light pink coloring with a large white circular print on the 'belly' featuring light feather textures. Arms are molded into the sides of the body shell.
Legs
Unique molded bird feet in bright light orange (yellowish-orange). These are shorter than standard minifigure legs and feature three frontal toes with two connection points on the bottom.
Accessories
Typically none included for this specific character in its retail set, though she is designed to be launched from the catapults found in the theme's sets.
Color Scheme
Main body is Bright Pink (Light Purple/Pink). Accents include white for the chest, blue for the eyes, and bright light orange for the feet and beak.
Printing Details
Pad-printed eyes and chest. The printing is high quality with crisp registration on the eye lashes. There is no back printing as the character's detail is primarily frontal.
Variants
There are no official LEGO variants of Stella. This is the only version produced during the theme's lifespan.
Condition Notes
Susceptible to paint rubbing on the beak and crest. The connection between the leg piece and the body can become loose over time with heavy play/launching. Check for 'flea bites' on the pink crest edges.
Estimated Value
Used: $5.00 - $8.00 USD; New (taken from sealed box): $10.00 - $14.00 USD. Value is stable but niche.
Price (New)
Retail set (75824 Pig City Teardown) was $39.99 USD. Effectively valued at ~$4.00 at retail launch.

Character Background
Stella is a spunky, optimistic, and fiercely independent character from the Angry Birds franchise. In the movie, she is known for her parkour skills and leadership of her own flock.
Design Notes
Utilizes the specific the 'Angry Birds' format where the head and torso are merged into a rounded, bottom-heavy mold to mimic the aesthetic of the mobile game characters.
Similar Minifigures
Red (ang001), Chuck (ang002), Bomb (ang003), and Matilda (ang005).
Collectibility
Moderate. Desirable for complete Angry Birds collection fans and enthusiasts of 'weird' or non-standard minifigures. Investment potential is low to neutral.
History
Produced only in 2016 to coincide with the release of the first Angry Birds Movie. The theme was discontinued shortly after due to underwhelming set sales compared to other licenses like Star Wars.
Interesting Facts
Stella's mold is significantly taller than the 'Red' or 'Chuck' figures to properly represent her movie design. She is one of the few female characters in the initial wave.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed with the Pig City Teardown structures or on a standard white brick baseplate. Keep away from direct sunlight as the light pink plastic can fade over long periods.
Modification Potential
Low. Because it uses a unique body mold, it is not compatible with standard LEGO torsos, arms, or headgear.
Overall Assessment
A well-executed representation of a licensed character that sacrifices traditional LEGO modularity for screen-accurate sculpting. Rated 7/10 for accuracy, 4/10 for versatility.
