Boy

This micro-scale 'Boy' figure holds a unique place in LEGO collecting due to its appearance in the highly sought-after 2013 LEGO Employee Christmas Gift set, A LEGO Christmas Tale (set 4000013). Employee gift sets are produced in strictly limited runs and gifted exclusively to company staff during the holidays, making any figure tied to these sets a point of interest for dedicated holiday and oddity collectors.

The figure features a minimalist micro-build design, utilizing a standard printed yellow child head, dark brown tousled hair, and a plain blue hollow stud head with a clip plate to represent a miniature torso and legs. While the individual pieces are not exclusive molds, the character represents an essential story element in the vintage pop-up book scene constructed within the set.

Because this figure was only distributed inside the 2013 LEGO Employee Gift set, its official boxed availability was restricted to LEGO Group staff and never sold at retail. This gives the parent set an inherently low production run compared to standard retail releases.

However, because each of the four component elements consists of widely produced standard LEGO elements, collectors can easily recreate the figure via loose parts. As a result, authentic standalone copies derive their provenance primarily from verified complete copies of the employee set rather than impossible-to-find unique elements.

The parent set, A LEGO Christmas Tale, commands strong appreciation and high collector value on secondary markets due to the enduring popularity of seasonal employee gifts. Individual micro-figures from the set do not usually trade at the sky-high prices of exclusive-print minifigures, but they remain necessary for collectors looking to restore incomplete boxed sets to 100% completion.

From an investment perspective, keeping the figure paired with its full original set yields the highest return, as parting it out removes key value from the employee gift package.
