LEGO Collectible Minifigure Series 4 - The Ice Skater

(Click to Enlarge)
The Ice Skater is exclusive to set 8804, LEGO Series 4 Collectible Minifigures.

Parts and Accessories
The Ice Skater is composed of five main parts - hair piece, head, torso, skirt, and legs.

The hair piece is new with sweeping bangs and bun in tan.

The head features a new female facial print with a smiling face, blue eyeshadow, and stars on the face. There's even a star on her teeth!

The torso is light blue with one light blue arm and one yellow arm. The hands are yellow. The print on the torso resembles a striped, asymmetrical top with a large star on the left side. There's also print on the back of the torso as seen above.

The legs are white with yellow print to resemble 'bare' legs. The hips are light blue. There is also a light blue cloth skirt with jagged edges that attach on the hip posts.

The accessory for this figure are a pair of flat sliver skate blades. These are a new part and are only shared currently with the Series 4 Hockey Player. There is a stud on the top of the skates which allow them to attach at the minifigure's feet. Although not shown here, the minifig can stand on the skates if the legs are straight.

LEGO.com Bio
“Just give me music and I’ll skate to it!”

Elegant, graceful and light on her feet, the Ice Skater can create an elaborate figure skating routine for any music…any music at all! Just play something, no matter how fast or slow, loud or soft, and she’ll show you a dazzling display of ice skating skill that will leave you applauding and shouting for more.

But that’s not all! For her most stunning feat, the Ice Skater will start out up at the top of a huge block of ice and begin to skate. By the time she’s done with all of her spinning jumps and pirouettes, she’s used her shining skates to carve out a beautiful ice sculpture based on any subject you choose!

Army Building Potential
The army building potential for the figure is low.

Feeling It Out
I would try for the hair piece and perhaps the skates. If the skates can actually be felt through the bag, try to see if you can't feel the accessories of the Hockey Player.

Pre-Identifying Figures
Series 4 will be using the same 'dot code' approach to identifying which figures are inside each pack. The following dot codes were provided by minifigcollector.com who will have a corresponding app for Android smart phones. You can see the entire dot code sheet here.


The Big Draw
The hair piece and skates would seem to be the 'must have' items for this figure. The skirt may also be desirable as it is a new and unique cloth element.
