In the photo I have two LEGO Series Nine minifigs of the knight. On the left the knight is in his included accessories and on the right the knight is wearing the Rhino Helm and holding the Minotaur Axe from Brick Warriors. While I like the look of the accessories from Brick Warriors, especially the silver metallic plastic I do like that the LEGO helm has a visor that raises and lowers and has a hole for a plume. The LEGO sword is made from that metallic silver plastic and that looks good with fairly decent details. I would love to see Brick Warriors create some accessories based on weapons from cartoons like He-man’s sword, The Sword of Omens, the blasters from Slugterra, there are many possibilities.
I buzzed through Walmart on the way to work tonight and there I saw that the LEGO blind bag minifig series nine set has been released. These are sixteen new minifigs that are purchased as single figures. They come with new faces and special accessories. With them being blind bag (no way you can tell which one you are getting) there is the risk of getting multiple of the same minifig. Of course if that happens you can try to find someone who needs that minifig or you could go to Brick Warriors and get some other pieces of armor, weapons or accessories and completely change the figure around.
This new series has a bunch of figures that I’d like to collect including the Mermaid, Ogre, Alien, Spaceman and Archery queen (which could probably be thought of as Merida from Brave). There is also a guy in a chicken outfit which would be funny as well. I’ll probably pick up a few of these sets to stuff into Easter eggs for Eva to find on Easter morning. I usually find things like this or Hot wheels cars for that purpose.
While at Toy Fair 2013 I got a tour of the LEGO booth and saw that this year there will be the release of Series 9, 10 and 11 of this popular line of collectible minifigs.
What types of minifigs do you wish LEGO would produce?
