Theme
Legends of Chima
Year Released
2013 - Debuted in the first wave of Chima sets. This era was marked by LEGO's attempt to create a high-fantasy successor to Ninjago with anthropomorphic animal tribes.
Rarity
Common to Uncommon. While easily obtained in 2013-2014, the theme is discontinued. High production volume keeps price low, but finding her with all armor and wings intact is rarer than the figure alone.
Head
Bright light blue head with orange eyes and brown feather detailing; features a white dual-molded Eagle headpiece/helmet with a yellow beak. The headpiece is highly detailed with feather textures.
Torso
Bright light blue torso with white arms and yellow hands. Printing depicts anatomical breastplate muscle definition and a gold belt with Eagle crest on both front and back.
Legs
White legs with bright light blue hips. Printing includes gold/tan loincloth and claw/talon details on the feet. The print quality is high with multi-colored patterns extending down the shins.
Accessories
Trans-light blue 1x1 round plate CHI orb, Pearl Gold chest armor with stud for CHI attachment, and white feathered wing assembly attached via a neck bracket.
Color Scheme
Primary Colors: White and Bright Light Blue. Accents: Pearl Gold, Yellow, and Trans-Light Blue. The scheme represents the sky-dwelling nature of the Eagle Tribe.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on head, torso (front/back), and legs (front). The alignment on the Eagle tribe figures was generally excellent, featuring fine feather lines.
Variants
Standard (loc002), Fire CHI version (loc103) with translucent wings, and a version with silver armor (loc036). This image shows the original 2013 standard version.
Condition Notes
The white plastic is susceptible to yellowing over time if exposed to UV. The wing clip (neck bracket) can develop stress marks, and the printing on the toes often wears off first from play.
Estimated Value
Used Complete: $5.00 - $8.00; New: $12.00 - $18.00. Value varies significantly based on whether the gold armor and white wings are included.
Price (New)
Available in sets ranging from $9.99 (70001) to $79.99 (70011). The most affordable way to acquire her was through the Eris' Eagle Interceptor set ($34.99).
Compatible Sets
70001 Crawley's Claw Ripper (2013), 70003 Eris' Eagle Interceptor (2013), 70011 Eagle's Castle (2013), 70114 Sky Joust (2013).
Character Background
Eris is a strategic and level-headed female warrior of the Eagle Tribe and a close ally to Laval of the Lion Tribe. She is known for her intelligence and flight capabilities in the TV series.
Design Notes
Chima introduced the dual-molded headpieces that sit over standard minifigure heads, a design choice that allowed for high detail while maintaining the 'humanoid' LEGO shape.
Similar Minifigures
Equila (Eagle Tribe), Ewar (Eagle Tribe), and other Chima leaders like Laval (Lion) or Cragger (Crocodile).
Collectibility
Moderate. Chima has a dedicated cult following, but lacks the mainstream investment potential of Star Wars or Ninjago. Demand is stable for completionists of the 2013 era.
History
Launched in 2013, Chima was a 'Big Bang' theme for LEGO. Eris was one of the central female protagonists, receiving several redesigns before the theme's cancellation in 2015.
Interesting Facts
The 'Eagle' headpiece is actually a helmet worn over a standard head, which was a point of contention for some fans who preferred molded animal heads like in the Fabuland era.
Display Suggestions
Display on a transparent flight stand to simulate her flying. Looks best when flanked by other Eagle Tribe members against a blue sky background.
Modification Potential
Excellent for fantasy MOCs. The wings and armor are popular in the AFOL community for creating custom Valkyries or winged celestial warriors.
Overall Assessment
A quintessential Chima minifigure. It showcases LEGO's 2010s-era complexity in part molding and printing. Highly recommended for fans of fantasy-themed LEGO.
