Year Released
2024. This figure debuted in January as part of LEGO's shift toward cardbox packaging for CMF series.
Rarity
Uncommon distribution. While part of a standard series, the new box format prevented traditional 'feeling' of bags, making specific figures harder to find without scanner apps.
Head
Yellow skin, features a friendly expression with a ginger beard, red eyebrows, and light green eyes. No dual-sided printing.
Torso
Dark green jacket with gold button printing, a lime green vest, and a light-tan backpack strap print. Back printing continues the strap and jacket details.
Legs
Dual-molded short legs in dark green (top) and black (bottom) to represent boots. No additional leg printing.
Accessories
Includes a green forest-ranger style hat with a gold buckle, a brown walking stick/staff, and a 1x1 round tile printed with a 'clover' or 'leaf' design.
Color Scheme
Primarily dark green and lime green, with tan, gold, and ginger accents reflecting a woodland folklore aesthetic.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing typical of CMF series. Excellent crispness on the gold buttons and beard texture. Features printing on both the front and back of the torso.
Variants
There are no official production variants of this specific figure; however, it is a thematic successor to Series 6 Leprechaun and Series 4 Kimono Girl's fans/colors.
Condition Notes
Prone to scratches on the hat buckle printing. Since it comes in a box, check for factory errors or missing pieces as parts are loose inside the box.
Estimated Value
$5.00 - $8.00 USD (New/Unopened), $4.00 - $6.00 USD (Used complete). Large fluctuation based on local availability.
Price (New)
$4.99 USD original retail per blind box.
Compatible Sets
71045 Collectible Minifigures Series 25 (Individual Box or 6-pack 66763).
Character Background
A modern take on the Leprechaun, reimagined as a forest scout or adventurer rather than a traditional pot-of-gold guardian.
Design Notes
Uses the newer short-leg mold which provides better proportions for dwarven or child characters. The hat mold is a standout piece for this figure.
Similar Minifigures
Series 6 Leprechaun (col084), Series 11 Forest Maiden (col172), and Series 24 Carrot Mascot.
Collectibility
High for CMF completionists. Its value is expected to remain stable due to the popularity of fantasy/folklore figures in LEGO Castle or woodland MOCs.
History
Part of the second full series to utilize the cardboard recyclability initiative, marking a major turning point in LEGO packaging history.
Interesting Facts
The Data Matrix code on the bottom of the box (shown in your image: 640S5) can be scanned by apps like 'BrickSearch' to identify the figure inside without opening the box.
Display Suggestions
Place in a forest-themed vignette or a custom CMF display case. Pairs exceptionally well with 'Series 24 Highland Battler' or 'Forestmen' sets.
Modification Potential
The dark green torso and hat are highly sought after by 'Castle' and 'Forestmen' MOC builders for creating custom civilian or scout factions.
Overall Assessment
A charming and well-executed figure that balances traditional folklore with a modern adventure twist. Its high-quality printed elements make it a standout for its price point.
