Flying Saucer Costume Fan

LEGO Series 26 — Space · 71046 No. 7
🛸

The costume tradition that has already given LEGO a hot dog, a banana, a shark and a dinosaur reaches orbit here, with a round dish element and a transparent dome clamped between head and torso so that the wearer becomes his own flying saucer.

Data Matrix codes: Flying Saucer Costume Fan

One of these codes is printed on the bottom of the box, next to the barcode.

LEGO prints a different code for each production batch and region, which is why one item has several. The scanner recognises all 3.

About this minifigure

In space the running joke finds new material. The outfit impersonates a UFO, the green face under the dome leaves it pleasantly unclear who is piloting whom, and children and adults read the idea equally quickly.

For the youngest it is simply a funny figure that begs to be flown around the room. For parents there is a useful detail: it requires no knowledge of any cartoon, so it works as a small present on its own comic merits.

Anyone collecting the costume characters wave by wave has to pick this one up, since the tradition turns up just once in space-themed Series 26. Star printing on the torso and legs, plus the Earth on the back, make it catch the eye on a shelf more readily than most astronauts do.

Did you know: The saucer is built from a round dish element and a transparent dome slotted between head and torso, and the back of the costume is printed with the Earth.
