Lego Collectible Minifigures Series 8 Revealed!

July 13, 2012 | 4

Credit to the wizards at Hoth Bricks for unearthing the very first look at Series 8!

Here’s the lineup:

• Ancient Thespis with a skull
• Boy in Bavarian costume with a pretzel
• Conquistador with a rapier
• Cowgirl with a brown lasso
• Diver with a water gun
• DJ with a disc and a disc case
• Enemy Robot with a laser gun
• Evil Female Alien with a laser gun
• Fairy with wings and a wand
• Football Player with gold trophy
• Pirate Captain with gold cutlass and hook
• Red Cheerleader with red pom poms
• Santa Claus with sack
• Skier
• Trader with newspaper and suitcase
• Vampire

From first glance, it doesn’t look as impressive as Series 7 – but the few highlights are

• Conquistadors!
• Diver looks great
• The Bat-Guys look absolutely great – easy way to get them without purchasing Monster Fighter’s Vampire Castle
• We finally get a legit Santa hat!
• Is that a… pretzel on the Bavarian looking-dude? Sweet. More Lego food is always welcome
• Fairy wings, although from the looks of it, she’s wearing the same neck-piece as Series 6’s Robot
• Nice for me to get the Robot, which previously was only available in Series 1

From previous announcements, expect Series 8 to hit toy stores in September 2012. 

Look out for the black packs!
