The LEGO promotional period for the LEGO Seasonal Gingerbread Man (5005156) is now live on Shop@Home. You can get for free with purchases of $50 or more from December 12-18, while supplies last. I’ve seen images of this Gingerbread Man side-by-side next to the original one from the Series 11 Collectible Minifigures (71002) and this new one is actually a little darker than the previous one however it does not come with the red “Dunk Me” cup.

So it’s a new color and not Medium Dark Flesh? Or is it down to Lego color inconsistencies?
It could be that the CMF Gingerbread Man was 100% Chinese. There’s some goofiness to the colors used on the Jor-El minifig from a few years ago, and that was Chinese. If these are made in Europe, I would expect there to be some color/material differences. Even if they’re not, the Chinese stuff is a lot more inconsistent than the European stuff.
Well I can confirm now that it’s not just a little darker or any “new” color. It’s a completely different color: Dark Orange.
I’m in the process of completing my monochrome minifig collection. I was planning on wiping the Gman I got today because he was supposed to be entirely printed Medium Dark Flesh. Just so happened that yesterday I received x2 new Ugha Warriors from 2008, which besides their hips and hands, are entirely printed Dark Orange.
I have the 2 standing next to each other. They are exactly the same color. Dark Orange.
