Classic yellow head with brown eyebrows, mustache, goatee, and a wide, open-mouthed grin showing teeth. Dual-sided printing featuring an alternate worried or shouting expression on the back. No hairpiece or hat is currently attached.

Color Scheme

Bright orange, dark bluish-grey, white, yellow, and dark blue.

Printing Details

High-quality modern pad printing with crisp lines on the torso and dual-sided face details. Alignment is generally precise for mid-2010s LEGO production standards.

Variants

Multiple variants of Emmet exist across The LEGO Movie themes, including versions with construction hardhats, cowboy hats, Master Builder gear, and Sleepy pants.

Condition Notes

The minifigure appears to be missing its standard brown hairpiece and construction hardhat. Standard wear can include minor scratching on the torso and fading of the facial printing.

Estimated Value

1.00 USD to 3.00 USD depending on completeness and condition (lacking hair/hat reduces value).

Character Background

Emmet Brickowski is an ordinary, rules-following, unremarkable construction worker who is mistakenly identified as the Special, the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the universe.

Design Notes

Designed specifically for The LEGO Movie, featuring Emmet's iconic everyday outfit that visually establishes his average, conformist nature before his heroic journey begins.

Similar Minifigures

Other Emmet variants from The LEGO Movie and The LEGO Movie 2, generic construction worker minifigures from LEGO City.

Collectibility

Low to moderate collectibility due to high production numbers, though essential for fans of The LEGO Movie theme.

History

Released in 2014 alongside the theatrical release of the first LEGO theatrical feature film, marking a major milestone for LEGO original entertainment properties.

Interesting Facts

Emmet's design was intentionally kept as generic and unassuming as possible to emphasize his status as an everyday average minifigure.

Display Suggestions

Best displayed alongside other main characters from The LEGO Movie like Wyldstyle, Benny, and Unikitty on a standard black LEGO display plate.

Modification Potential

High versatility for custom City layouts, construction site MOCs, or swapping parts to create custom modern civilian minifigures.

Overall Assessment

A nostalgic, highly recognizable main character figure from a blockbuster animated film, though common and lacking secondary accessories in this loose state.
