Tuba Player
The tuba stands almost as tall as the minifigure carrying it, and that exaggeration is precisely why brass works at brick scale. Brass sections hardly ever reach minifigure form, so this one counts as a genuine surprise.

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
You can spot a tuba from the far end of a hall, and roughly the same thing happens on a shelf: the character has its personality before it has played a note.
The audience is broader than you might think: children in music lessons, families with a brass band somewhere in the background — a tradition still very much alive across the north of England and in Wales — and anyone building a parade, a concert or a school performance. Drop it into a town hall or market square set and it belongs immediately.
Within the wave this is a filler in the best sense of the word. On its own it causes no stir, yet without it a band scene looks unfinished. It is also rarely the first target of a hunt, which is quite an advantage when you are working through all twelve.
Did you know: The tuba is a relatively young instrument — it was patented in Berlin in 1835 by Wilhelm Wieprecht and Johann Gottfried Moritz.
