I found this unique printing/molding error over on Flickr over on Jeremy Moody’s photo Stream here.

You may remember Jeremey’s photo Stream from a few weeks ago when he posted the Hang on the Wall Lego Color Chart which was everywhere on reddit and Facebook for a few days.  I even posted about it here as well even though it was not a minifigure.

In case you missed that, you can see it here on his Flickr page.  It was a really nice piece.  I almost thought about making one of my own until I started to price out what it would cost.  🙂

I have seen Lego Marbled bricks before, but this is the first Lego Marbled Minifigure that I have ever seen.  I am sure that more exist, but this is the first one I have come across.  If any of you know of others, drop me a PM or an email or leave a comment on this post.

A Lego Marble Error happens when the Lego employees do not fully clean out the Machine when they decide to print pieces in a new color.  I imagine that this is a by product of cleaning the machine and that these are figures are usually just destroyed or thrown into the recycling bin.  In this case, it would appear that the brown from the Wicket minifigure was not fully cleaned out and they were starting a run of tan Pabloo figures.

One of the employees must have taken a shine to this and took it home.  I am glad that they did since this is a really nice piece.

This particular error appears to come from the Lego Wicket and Pabloo Minifigures included in the Ewok Attack set from the 2002 Star Wars line.  Set Number 7139 (Click to see Bricklink reference for this set)

I think that I would have included this with my post on Lego Star Wars Prototypes if I had seen this before I wrote that post.  You can see all of the Star Wars Prototype minifigures that I have been able to find in this post here.

I did a quick google search here for marbled bricks if you want to see a few others, just click here.

I also noted a forum on BrickSet here with some additional information about Marbled bricks.  I did not see anything on minifigures, but the concept is the same.

Thanks for looking
