Boba Cup Fan
The cup, tapioca pearls and all, is the whole character here, and it dates the figure to right now more precisely than any uniform could.

About this minifigure
Bubble tea stopped being a novelty a long time ago and became a routine, and LEGO has finally noticed. This minifigure is queuing for a drink and taking the choice of toppings entirely seriously.
It is the kind of character the numbered series reaches for more and more: not a job, not a monster, just a contemporary person with a recognisable habit. It blends into LEGO City scenes — a cafe, a high street, a kerbside stall — without needing a plot or a backdrop.
Children who drink bubble tea themselves, or know it from videos online, read this as a figure about them, and those always land hardest. Everyday urban minifigures have a second advantage as well: they fit literally anywhere, from a bus stop to a school corridor, so they rarely end up in the pile of unwanted duplicates.
Did you know: Bubble tea was invented in Taiwan in the 1980s, and the signature boba pearls are made from tapioca, the starch of the cassava root.
