Rarity
Uncommon; while mass-produced, it was part of a limited blind-bag series that is no longer in production.
Head
Molded blue head with a signature long curved lavender nose, large white eyes with printed pupils, and blue feathered texture.
Torso
Yellow shirt with chili pepper pattern, dark tan belt print, and a black chili-themed necktie. Blue hands to match the character's fur.
Legs
Dark tan medium legs (fixed, non-posable) representing his trousers, with subtle printing for shoes.
Accessories
Usually includes Camilla the Chicken (a small white molded chicken piece). Note: Accessory is missing in the provided photo.
Color Scheme
Bright yellow, blue, and dark tan; accurately mimics Gonzo's loud fashion sense and unique skin tone.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso front and back; the chili pepper pattern is crisp and vibrant, typical of modern CMF standards.
Variants
This is the only LEGO version of Gonzo ever produced; no official variations exist.
Condition Notes
The molded nose is a potential point of wear (paint rubbing). Check the neck joint for stress marks, though the Muppet heads are generally sturdy.
Estimated Value
$5.00 - $8.00 USD (Used complete); $10.00 - $15.00 USD (New/Sealed bag). Value is lower if Camilla the Chicken is missing.
Price (New)
$4.99 USD (MSRP per blind bag during release).

Character Background
The resident daredevil and performance artist of The Muppets, known for his love for Camilla and his eccentric 'Whatever' species status.

Features a unique head mold specifically created for this character to capture his iconic profile and long nose.
Similar Minifigures
Kermit the Frog (colmu-1), Fozzie Bear (colmu-2), and other figures from the 2022 Muppets CMF series.
Collectibility
High for Muppet fans; part of a popular one-off series that likely won't see a sequel soon, maintaining steady demand.
History
Part of the transition to sustainable CMF packaging (though this series was still in foil bags), marking a major licensing milestone for LEGO.
Interesting Facts
Gonzo is the only Muppet in the series provided with a distinct animal companion (Camilla) as his primary accessory.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a 71033 layout or a custom Muppet Theater stage MOC. Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent blue plastic fading.
Modification Potential
Medium legs are swappable for standard legs if you want him to stand taller, or short legs for a 'classic' look.
Overall Assessment
9/10 - An excellent likeness of the character with high-quality custom molding and vibrant printing. A must-have for Muppet enthusiasts.
