Year Released
2015. Debuted in set 41062 Elsa's Sparkling Ice Castle during the peak of the original Frozen film's global popularity.
Rarity
Common. This specific mini-doll was mass-produced for one of LEGO's best-selling Disney sets ever and appeared in subsequent magazine gifts.
Head
Light flesh mini-doll head with green eyes, freckles, and a friendly smile. Topped with a unique bright light yellow side-braid hair mold (part 18228).
Torso
Light aqua torso with silver and dark azure snowflake/shimmer pattern. Light aqua arms and light flesh hands. Printing is high quality with metallic silver flake highlights.
Legs
Dark azure long skirt piece (2x2x2 slope) with white shimmering icy vertical line pattern. No articulation in this specific leg piece.
Accessories
Missing in this image. Originally comes with a translucent blue glitter fabric cape. Often paired with translucent light blue 'ice' power crystals or snowflakes.
Color Scheme
A cool palette of light aqua, dark azure, and bright light yellow, accented by silver metallic prints to simulate ice and snow.
Printing Details
Very high detail on the torso including corset-style crosshatching. The skirt features stars and vertical lines that align with the torso's aesthetic.
Variants
Numerous variants exist: dp002 (different skirt), dp035 (Frozen II outfit), and dp074 (Olaf's Frozen Adventure). This is the 'classic' 2015 version.
Condition Notes
Hair piece is prone to color rubbing on the braid tip. Skirt printing can scratch easily. Check for neck cracks in the torso, common in older mini-dolls.
Estimated Value
Used: $3.00 - $5.00 USD. New/Unassembled: $7.00 - $10.00 USD. Value is lower due to high production volume.
Price (New)
Retail set (41062) was $39.99. Also released as a magazine foil pack for approximately $5.00.
Compatible Sets
41062 Elsa's Sparkling Ice Castle, 41148 Elsa's Magical Ice Palace, and Disney Princess Magazine 2016 Issue 1.
Character Background
Elsa, the Snow Queen of Arendelle. A central protagonist from Disney's Frozen who possesses cryokinesis. One of Disney's most commercially successful modern characters.
Design Notes
The use of the 2x2x2 slope for the skirt was the standard for 'formal' mini-dolls in 2015, prioritizing aesthetic accuracy over leg mobility.
Similar Minifigures
Anna (dp015), Olaf (71024), and subsequent Elsa variants like the 'Spirit' version (dp083).
Collectibility
Moderate. While common, it is a staple figure for any Disney collector. Demand remains steady due to new generations of Frozen fans.
History
This figure represents the first iteration of Elsa's signature 'Let It Go' dress in LEGO form, marking the beginning of the highly profitable LEGO Frozen line.
Interesting Facts
The hair piece was a brand-new mold in 2015 specifically created to capture Elsa's iconic thick side-braid, which was difficult to replicate with existing parts.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed with the glitter cape (missing here) against a translucent blue backdrop. Pairs perfectly with the 43197 Ice Castle set.
Modification Potential
The hair piece is highly sought after by MOC-builders for custom medieval or fantasy female characters. Torso can be used for custom ice-themed warriors.
Overall Assessment
A quintessential 2010s Disney mini-doll. While missing its cape, the figure remains a high-quality representation of a cultural icon. Rating: 7/10.
