Nesquik Rabbit-Man!
My story with this minifigure goes back to the mid-1990's, when I got it free from the official 'LEGO Magazine' as part of a Nesquik promotion. At the time it probably didn't mean much to me, as 'collectable' minifigures back then were almost none existent, so naturally, I kept the character purely because he was so unusual.
Of course, fast-forward many years and now the Nesquik Rabbit is a collectable LEGO minifigure. The parts consist of brown legs, hands and bunny helmet (all of which are very much a tasty chocolate colour!) while the torso piece is bright yellow with the "N" from the Nesquik logo present. The helmet can be removed to reveal a bright white head with a unique head piece to this-set only. As for the helmet, it is a slightly shiny surface with bendy long ears. Again, I believe this piece is a unique item.
Obviously, the playability is ridiculous! How on Earth do you fit a 'bunny' into your LEGO City? Is it a real bunny or a man? If it is a man, why is his face bright white with funny eyes and mouth?
Who knows, but this mystery makes the set brilliant. Unfortunately it barely fits in the yellow 'Minifigure Box' you can buy from the LEGO store because the ears are so long, but its one of my best additions to the LEGO collection purely because its so unusual.

Nesquik Bunny
This Nesquik bunny is possibly the greatest thing I have bought of ebay.co.uk to date. Great head piece with nice yellow torso with letter 'N' on it.
Always keep an eye on it on ebay or other sites - you never know, you might just get it very cheap.1 out of 3 people thought this review was helpful.
One of my favourite minifigures
I bought this minifigure off of eBay for just £0.99, I bought it just for the rabbit headpiece, but it turns out the whole minifigure is just as good as the headpiece.
The Minifigure
Pros:
- Exclusive rabbit headpiece
- Nice head, has accurate eye and mouth printing
- Headpiece fits over head to show the eyes that are on the head
- Torso has a "N" on it, instead of being plain
- Legs match colour with the headpiece
- Fits in with the "Studio" theme it was released in
Cons:
- Is now worth a considerable amount of money
- Seems a small set compared to its now big price tag
- It doesn't have much playability, a child may find it boring
In conclusion, I would give this set a 5/5 because of the reasons above, the only way Lego could have improved this set, would have been by giving the bunny a accessory or something other extra.

This figure is purely awesome. Luckily this promotion come to Poland too :D
The best part of this bunny is his head - white with part of black eyes and smile.
I higly recomend this little "set".
