Set Facts

The figure is heavily praised for its highly detailed printed outfit, capturing his mystical aesthetic with sand-blue robes, gold rune patterns, and gold accents across both the torso and the arms.
True to the film, Merlin features detailed prints running up his classic conical wizard hat.
The figure features dual-molded legs to represent his tunic shorts and bare legs. While highly detailed with side-leg printing, some collectors have noted minor print alignment issues on the skin tones due to the complexity of the side-leg graphics.

Brick Fanatics

“Merlin is perhaps one of the more surprising inclusions in the series. His role in Shrek the Third is important, but I didn't expect to see him as a minifigure. The magical effect pieces, pointy hat and incredibly detailed torso and legs make him a figure that would look... More just as good in a medieval or fantasy display as he would alongside the rest of the Shrek cast.”
