Insights

Released in 2016 and retired the same year, Ariel from the Collectable Minifigures Disney Series carries first-series provenance and a distinctive tail print that helped sustain demand among Disney and CMF collectors, while short production bolstered scarcity and later Ariel variants temper upside.

Set Facts

The Ariel minifigure from Disney's The Little Mermaid includes a clam with gemstone accessory.

The Brothers Brick

“Ariel is the only Disney Princess to make an appearance in this series. The fish body is the same as the Series 9 mermaid, though obviously the color and printing are unique to Ariel. Ariel's wavy red hair is a new piece, and has the same simplicity as Alice and Hook's hair.... More I suspect the simplicity of the hair is to mimic their animated counterparts' hair, but it doesn't suit the characters as well in 3-dimensional form. Ariel carries a clamshell with a trans-pink jewel.”

Jays Brick Blog

“This isn't the first time that LEGO Ariel as we got her in minidoll form in 40150 Ariel's Amazing Treasures and 41063 Ariel's Undersea Palace, which I think looks a lot better than the minifigure since it's more feminine and less blocky, but it doesn't detract from the Ariel... More minifigure at all. There is a large portion of LEGO fans who want nothing to do with Minidolls, so getting a proper Ariel minifigure is good news for them. That said, I really like the Ariel minifigure, partly because of her awesome hairdo but mostly because they've done a superb job on her overall design.”
