Year Released

Rarity
Uncommon. Originally a promotional pre-order bonus and polybag, now primarily found on the secondary market.
Head
Yellow head with a double-sided print: one side features a confident wink/smirk and the other features a wide, happy smile. Topped with standard swept-back brown hair.
Torso
Bright light blue torso with a vertical pinstripe pajama pattern, featuring a v-neck opening showing yellow 'skin', four black buttons, a breast pocket, and waistline creases.
Legs
Bright light blue legs with matching vertical pinstripe printing that aligns with the torso pattern.
Accessories
Commonly packaged with a red 'Piece of Resistance' (brick 1x2 with a side stud) though the minifigure itself is the primary component.
Color Scheme
Primary color is Bright Light Blue accented with white stripes, yellow skin tones, and dark brown hair.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front) and legs (front). The stripes are crisp and the alignment between the torso and hips is a key quality marker for this figure.
Variants
This is the pajama-clad version of Emmet. Other variants include his standard construction worker outfit, piece-of-resistance variant, and wasteland 'Apocalypseburg' versions.
Condition Notes
Look for torso cracks under the arms and fading on the facial prints. Ensure the pinstripe printing on the legs hasn't been rubbed off by excessive play.

Character Background
Emmet Brickowski is the protagonist of The LEGO Movie, a perfectly average construction worker who is mistaken for the 'Special'. This version depicts him in his morning pajamas.
Design Notes
Notable for the 'Bright Light Blue' color which was relatively rare at the time of release. The design captures the 'innocent everyman' aesthetic perfectly.
Similar Minifigures

Collectibility
Medium. essential for 'The LEGO Movie' completists, though not as expensive as rare superhero or Star Wars figures.
History
Marketed heavily during the 2014 'Everything is Awesome' craze. It remains one of the most recognizable promotional figures from the film's marketing blitz.
Interesting Facts
The pajama pinstripe pattern is a nod to classic 'everyman' sleepwear, contrasting his later 'Chosen One' status. The wink face is unique to Emmet's early personality expressions.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for a bedroom MOC or placed inside the 70818 Double-Decker Couch set. Best displayed under natural light to show off the light blue plastic.
Modification Potential
The pajama parts are highly popular for MOC creators making domestic scenes or 'lazy day' versions of other characters.
Overall Assessment
A charming, high-quality promotional figure that encapsulates the humor of the first LEGO Movie. Highly recommended for affordable character collecting.
