About this item
Cucumber and a chewing face
Jay's Brick Blog, The Brothers Brick and Merlin's Bricks all mention the cucumber tile, and BrickOwl lists it in the inventory. Under the hood are two expressions: a closed-eye smile and one that looks mid-chew. Merlin's Bricks was less taken than the others and called the figure rather average.
A costume fan before Series 28
Series 27 has one more animal costume, the Pterodactyl Costume Fan. A year later LEGO gave animal costumes a whole release — Series 28 Animals, twelve fans from frog to parrot.

FAQ
What is the code for the Series 27 hamster?+
Scan the square Data Matrix code under the box: the Hamster Costume Fan reads 6522982 or 6522994, the two numbers both BrickNav and Minifigure Scanner list (checked 20 October 2026). Open it and the cucumber tile should be there too.
Is the hamster the first LEGO animal costume in a while?+
Jay's Brick Blog calls it the first animal-costume collectible minifigure since Series 23. It shares Series 27 with the Pterodactyl Costume Fan, the series' second costumed figure.
