LEGO Collectible Minifigure Series 4 - The Punk Rocker


The Punk Rocker
is exclusive to set 8804, LEGO Series 4 Collectible Minifigures.

Parts and Accessories
The Punk Rocker is composed of four main parts - hair, head, torso, and legs.

The hair is a new part in dark pink. This is the first mohawk TLG has produced and I think they did a very good job on it.

The head features a new facial print with a raised eyebrow and open (singing) mouth.

The torso is black with yellow arms and hands creating the sleeveless look. The torso has a skull on the front that reminds me of the Day of the Dead festival.

The legs and hips are light blue with a chain and patched up tear printed on the figures right leg.

The accessory for this figure is a very nice guitar with a V body. It is black with a white plate and has three strings printed on.

LEGO.com Bio
“HEY! WHO’S READY TO ROCK?!”

The Punk Rocker never goes anywhere without his favorite electric guitar, and as long as that guitar is in his hands, you can be sure that he’ll be rocking up a storm…and waking up everybody in the neighborhood while he’s at it.

There are all kinds of legends about the noisy Punk Rocker. Some say that he used to be shy and quiet until he got hit by a bolt of lightning one day. Some say that he’s sworn never to stop rocking until his music has created world peace. But whatever you may believe, one thing that everybody has to agree on is that the Punk Rocker is very, very, very LOUD!

Army Building Potential
The army building potential for the figure is moderate. I don't see many people needing armies of Punk Rockers but I do see people seeking out this figure for the new parts and possibly creating a band.

Feeling It Out
The guitar and possibly the hair peace are what you will be looking for here.

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 whole fig is great. Many people are dying for a mohawk like this. I think that will be the biggest draw here. The guitar is also a fantastic add to the LEGO universe.
