Collectible Minifigures
Year Released
2022 - Debuted in the Muppets blind-bag series (71033) during a peak era for high-detail licensed CMF series.
Rarity
Uncommon. While part of a standard CMF release, it was only available for a short production window and is now retired.
Head
Unique dual-molded head piece featuring red textured fur, black eyebrows, googly-eyes print, a large orange nose, and an open mouth with a pink tongue.
Torso
Orange torso with yellow and dark orange vest printing, a rope-laced neckline, and detailed back-side printing of the vest patterns.
Legs
Dual-molded legs with brown on top (shorts) and orange on bottom (fur), featuring a white rope belt print and jagged 'torn' fabric' printing.
Accessories
Includes two tan bar pieces representing drumsticks and a unique printed 2x2 round tile for a drum (though only the drumsticks are visible in the provided image).
Color Scheme
A vibrant palette of Red, Orange, Yellow, and Brown, recreating the chaotic look of the character's Muppet fur and 1970s rocker attire.
Printing Details
High-fidelity pad printing on the torso and legs, plus intricate color-separation on the rubberized/plastic hybrid head mold.
Variants
No official LEGO variants exist for this specific Animal figure, making this the definitive version.
Condition Notes
Watch for paint rubbing on the nose and eyebrows. The head is a softer material which can attract dust and lint more easily than standard ABS plastic.
Estimated Value
Used: $5 - $8 USD | New (Sealed in bag): $10 - $14 USD. Prices are stable but slowly rising as Muppets fans seek to complete collections.
Price (New)
Originally $4.99 USD per blind bag at retail in 2022.
Compatible Sets
LEGO Minifigures - The Muppets Series (71033) and The Muppets 6 pack (71035).
Character Background
The wild, percussion-obsessed drummer of 'Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem' from Jim Henson's The Muppets. Known for his limited vocabulary and high energy.
Design Notes
An exceptionally accurate sculpt that breaks the traditional 'minifigure head' silhouette to preserve the character's iconic Muppet look.
Similar Minifigures
Other members of the CMF Muppets series like Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, and Gonzo.
Collectibility
High. Anything Muppets-related has a strong cross-over appeal between LEGO collectors and general pop-culture nostalgia collectors.
History
This was the first and only time Animal has been produced as an official LEGO minifigure since LEGO acquired the Muppets license for a CMF run.
Interesting Facts
The head piece is noticeably larger than most CMF heads, making Animal stand slightly taller and wider than his bandmates.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed with a custom LEGO drum kit or alongside the other 11 figures from the 71033 series on a tiered stand.
Modification Potential
The head is highly sought after for MOCs of cavemen, monsters, or custom rock band builds using standard band-themed torsos.
Overall Assessment
A 10/10 character translation. LEGO perfectly captured the chaotic essence of the character with unique molds and vibrant colors. A must-have.
