Rarity
Unique/One-of-a-kind (MOC)
Head
Built from bricks rather than a single molded piece. Uses a mix of Bright Light Orange, Medium Nougat, and Brown slopes. Snout is a White 2x2 wedge plate with a Black 1x1 tile nose. Eyes are 1x1 round white tiles with black eye printing.
Torso
Segmented brick-built body using 1x2 plates and bricks in Bright Light Orange and White. Includes a small Medium Nougat tile on the side to represent her character spots.
Legs
Articulated legs built from 1x1 clip plates and 1x2 plates in Bright Light Orange, finishing with 1x1 white round plates for paws.
Accessories
Does not come with standard minifigure accessories as it is a brick-built scale model. Highly compatible with 'Keepy Uppy' balloon builds or Featherwand MOCs.
Color Scheme
Bright Light Orange, White, Medium Nougat, and Dark Brown accents to match the character's coat pattern from the television series.
Printing Details
Minimal printing. Only the 1x1 round eye tiles feature standard LEGO printing. All other details are achieved through color-blocking with bricks.
Variants
Varies by builder. Some versions use 1x1 'tooth' plates for the tail; this version appears to use a small white plate/slope combo.
Condition Notes
Subject to 'MOC' fragility. Small parts on clips can have lower clutch power than molded figures. No traditional torso cracking or head wear to report.
Estimated Value
$5.00 - $15.00 USD in individual parts. As a custom creation, value is subjective based on the design quality and instructions.
Price (New)
N/A (Cost of individual pieces roughly $3.00 if ordered via Pick-a-Brick or BrickLink).
Compatible Sets
Inspired by the 'Bluey' LEGO IDEAS submissions and various 'Bluey's House' fan MOCs.
Character Background
Bingo Heeler is the younger sister of Bluey from the Australian animated series 'Bluey'. She is a Red Heeler puppy known for her imaginative play and sensitive nature.
Design Notes
Expertly captures a 2D animated character in 3D using SNOT (Studs Not On Top) techniques for the snout and ears. Scaled to be slightly smaller than a standard Bluey MOC.
Similar Minifigures
Bluey (Brick-built), Bandit (Brick-built), Chilli (Brick-built), and various LEGO Friends or LEGO Creator dog builds.
Collectibility
High among fans of the show and 'purist' MOC collectors. Low for traditional minifigure investment collectors as it is not an official LEGO SKU.
History
Follows the massive surge in popularity of Bluey LEGO IDEAS projects, several of which reached 10,000 supporters but were ultimately not produced as official sets.
Interesting Facts
The 'Bright Light Orange' color is the perfect LEGO match for Bingo's 'Red Heeler' fur, making her easier to MOC than characters with rarer fur shades.
Display Suggestions
Place on a green baseplate next to a brick-built 'Heeler House' or alongside the 40544 Pets French Bulldog BrickHeadz for scale.
Modification Potential
Extremely high. Can be updated with 1x1 heart tiles for her 'sparkle' moments or modified into a 'floppy' pose using the ball-joint-style hinges seen in the legs.
Overall Assessment
A charming and technically proficient brick-built representation of a popular culture icon. While not a standard minifigure, it is a standout piece of fan-engineering that captures the spirit of the character.
