Colette

Colette is a minidoll character from the LEGO Friends universe, specifically introduced in the 2024 wave of sets. Minidolls, while different from traditional minifigures, have a dedicated following, especially among collectors of the LEGO Friends theme. Colette's appeal stems from her fresh design and the fact that she represents a new character within the Heartlake City universe.

Collectors will appreciate the unique elements that comprise Colette, such as her reddish-brown hairpiece with the braid and her distinct torso print featuring a red jacket and striped shirt. The combination of these elements makes her easily identifiable and desirable for completing a LEGO Friends collection. Condition is always important, so collectors should look for figures with pristine printing and no scratches or wear.

Colette appears in only one set as of now: the Heartlake City Preschool (42636-1), released in 2024. This single appearance initially suggests a degree of scarcity, as collectors must acquire this specific set to obtain the Colette minidoll. However, given that the set is currently in production and widely available, her immediate rarity is moderate. As the set potentially retires in the future, Colette's value and rarity may increase, especially if she does not appear in subsequent sets.

As a relatively new character, Colette's investment potential is currently speculative. The LEGO Friends theme generally holds a steady, rather than explosive, investment potential. The value of Colette will likely depend on her continued presence (or absence) in future sets, the overall popularity of the Heartlake City Preschool set, and the general demand for LEGO Friends minidolls. Keeping an eye on aftermarket prices and the retirement status of her associated set will be crucial for assessing her long-term investment viability. Comparing her performance to other LEGO Friends characters introduced in recent years can also provide valuable insights.
