Barista, Reddish Brown Apron, Dark Brown Hair

The Barista minifigure is likely to be a desirable addition for collectors interested in expanding their LEGO City or modular building displays. The reddish-brown apron with the coffee mug print adds a touch of realism and detail, making it a unique and appealing figure for creating scenes in cafes or town squares. The inclusion of Freya McCloud's head with green glasses gives this barista a distinct personality.

The dark brown ponytail hairpiece is a nice touch, adding to the overall charm of the figure. As this minifigure is currently only available in one set, its collectibility will depend on the set's popularity and availability. The rarity of the individual components could also increase its collectibility over time.

Currently, this Barista minifigure only appears in The Art of Chocolate set (910039-1), released in 2025. This limited availability initially suggests a higher degree of rarity compared to minifigures found in multiple sets. However, the actual rarity will depend on the production volume of The Art of Chocolate set. As the set is newly released, it's widely available on the aftermarket, but that may change once the set is retired.

As a brand-new minifigure, the investment potential of the Barista is currently uncertain. Its value will largely depend on the success and longevity of The Art of Chocolate set. If the set becomes highly sought after or is retired quickly, the minifigure's value could increase. However, as a generic figure, its appreciation may be limited compared to licensed or exclusive characters. Keep an eye on aftermarket trends and the set's retirement status to assess its long-term investment potential.
