Ariel (CMF)

The Ariel minifigure from the LEGO Collectible Minifigure Series 16 is highly desirable due to her iconic status as a Disney princess. Her unique mermaid tail and shell bra torso, combined with the accurate facial printing, make her instantly recognizable and appealing to both LEGO collectors and Disney fans. The fact that she only appeared in one set adds to her collectibility.

Collectors also seek this minifigure in excellent condition, with no scratches or fading on the printed elements. Complete figures with all original parts command higher prices. The popularity of Disney princesses ensures consistent demand for this minifigure, making her a valuable addition to any collection.

This Ariel minifigure is considered moderately rare due to its exclusive appearance in the LEGO Collectible Minifigure Series 16. While CMFs are widely distributed, individual figures from each series can become harder to find as time passes and the series is retired. The blind-bag nature of CMFs also means that collectors often have to purchase multiple bags to obtain specific figures, further driving up demand for individual characters like Ariel.
