LEGO Collectible Minifigure Series 3: The Snowboarder


The Snowboarder is exclusive to set 8803, The Collectible Minifigure Series 3.

Minifigure Parts and Accessories
The Snowboarder is composed of four main parts: helmet, head, torso, and legs.

The helmet is a pink variant of part 2446 with white snow goggles.

The head print is a new, smiling female print.

The torso and arms are white with gray hands. The torso print resembles a snow jacket with pink highlights and zippers. There is no print on the back of the torso.

The legs and hips are white with printed zippers on the legs near the hips and highlights on the feet.

The accessory that comes with this figure is, what else, a snowboard! This is the first time this part has been available since the 2003 Gravity Games sets and comes in black. There are pink and blue snowflakes printed on the snowboard.


Army Building Potential
The ABP for the figure is low - outside of filling out a series 3 collection, this figure is not likely to be sought in multiples. The snowboard, perhaps, but not the figure itself.

Feeling It Out
The snowboard should be easy to identify by feeling it through the bag.

Bar Codes
Unlike previous series of collectible minifigures, there will be no secondary bar codes to help determine what figure is inside. However, there are a series of 'bumps' on the bottom of the packages that can be used to identify the contents (LEGO Series 3 Collectible Minifigure Codes). These codes were provided courtesy of FBTB.net and Rick Theroux.

The Big Draw
The snowboard is the real draw here.
