Patrick Star with Tongue Hanging Out

The Patrick Star minifigure with his tongue hanging out is a must-have for LEGO SpongeBob SquarePants collectors. Patrick's simple yet expressive design, combined with the character's immense popularity, makes this minifigure highly desirable. The tongue-out feature adds a unique touch, distinguishing it from other Patrick Star minifigures.

Condition is key for collectors. A Patrick minifigure in pristine condition, with no scratches or fading on the prints, will command a higher premium. Completeness, including all original parts, also impacts its value.

This Patrick Star variant appeared in only two sets, both released in 2009. While not a limited edition in the strictest sense, its short production run and the retirement of the sets contribute to its relative scarcity on the aftermarket. It's less common than other SpongeBob minifigures that appeared in a wider range of sets over longer periods.
