Harumi / Avatar Harumi

Avatar Harumi is a desirable minifigure for Ninjago collectors due to her unique appearance and connection to a major character arc. The minifigure represents Harumi after she is resurrected as an Avatar, giving her a distinctive look with the red markings and stern expressions. As a villainous character with a dedicated fanbase, any Harumi minifigure holds appeal.

The exclusive nature of this minifigure, appearing in only one retired set, adds to its collectibility. Collectors seeking to complete their Ninjago villain roster will prioritize acquiring Avatar Harumi, especially if they missed the Gamer's Market set during its initial release.

Avatar Harumi appears exclusively in the Gamer's Market (71708-1) set, which was retired. This single appearance immediately increases her rarity compared to characters appearing in multiple sets. While the Gamer's Market was not a limited edition or regional exclusive, the fact that it's no longer in production makes Avatar Harumi's availability solely dependent on the aftermarket. Her rarity is moderate, leaning towards the rarer side due to the single set appearance.

As a character-specific minifigure from a popular theme, Avatar Harumi has some investment potential. The Ninjago theme maintains a strong following, and villainous characters often see increased demand. The retirement of the Gamer's Market set should lead to a gradual increase in the minifigure's value over time, especially as more sets are retired and fewer sealed copies of 71708-1 become available. Comparable Ninjago villains with limited appearances have shown steady appreciation.
