LEGO Farmer (71011)

About This Set

The Farmer opens the checklist of Collectable Minifigures Series 15, released at the start of 2016, and he is the everyday heart of the line-up. He wears printed blue overalls, with the straps, pockets and stitching drawn across both the front and back of his torso, and leg printing that wraps his trousers into worn work boots. A wide-brimmed brown hat shades a cheerful face. LEGO's official biography for him has him up at sunrise when the rooster crows, pulling on his overalls and boots to slop the pigs, milk the cows, feed the horses and collect the eggs — a working day summed up in a three-inch figure.

What lifts the Farmer from a pleasant civilian to a collector favourite is what he brings with him. In one hand he carries a pitchfork, one of the oldest and most recognisable farm tools in the LEGO parts library. At his side stands a pig: a proper little animal figure with fresh printing, at a time when animal accessories were among the most sought-after extras in the Collectable Minifigures line. A pig unlocked a whole farmyard for builders — it could populate a City farm scene, a Castle-era village or a Fairytale display — and the Farmer was the only route to it in the series. He was packed three to a box of sixty, making him one of the less common figures in the case and a genuine find for anyone feeling through blind bags in a shop.

Theme Background

Series 15 (71011) arrived in early 2016 with sixteen figures balancing the everyday and the fantastic: the Farmer shared the series with an Astronaut honouring classic Space, a Frightening Knight drawn from the Fright Knights of the 1990s, a Jewel Thief, a Queen, and a Tribal Woman carrying the first LEGO baby figure. The Farmer's pig connected him to a long farm tradition in LEGO Town and City sets, where farm animals have always been prized parts, and his overalls-and-pitchfork design made him a natural citizen for farm, village and countryside displays of any era.
