First look at the characters from LEGO Minifigures Series 13

November 27, 2014 By Jay Ong 16 Comments

UPDATE: Be sure to check out my LEGO Minifigures Series 13 review!

UPDATE (1/6/2014) : LEGO Series 13 is now on sale in Australia! Happy hunting!

LEGO Minifigures Series 13 Characters

Christmas has come early! LEGO’s Facebook page has revealed the lineup from the upcoming LEGO Minifigures Series 13. The release date for Series 13 will be January 2015 and from early impressions, it looks like this will be another fantastic series for minifigure collectors.

It only seemed like yesterday that Series 12 was released!

Here’s the full list of characters and their official names:

  • Galaxy Trooper
  • Alien Trooper
  • Evil Wizard
  • Classic King
  • Goblin
  • Lady Cyclops
  • Snake Charmer
  • Paleontologist
  • Carpenter
  • Hot Dog Guy
  • Sheriff
  • Samurai
  • Disco Diva
  • Unicorn Girl
  • Fencer
  • Egyptian Warrior

LEGO Series 13 Character Names

 

I also made this handy poster with all the Series 13 character names.

From early impressions, I can confidently say that I am absolutely loving the Classic King, Egyptian Warrior, Carpenter, Unicorn Girl, Alien Trooper, Snake Charmer and Fencer. The Fencer, Carpenter and Classic King particularly surprised me, as I initially thought they were pretty boring characters, when their names were first leaked – after seeing them, I have to say that I am quite impressed by them.

It looks like LEGO has another churned out another winner, which is impressive since this is the 13th numbered series and 16th overall, if you count The Simpsons, Olympics Team GB and The LEGO Movie.

Click on each of the thumbnails to check out a larger version and ogle at some of the great details!

Hot Dog Guy
Unicorn Girl
Snake Charmer
Classic King

Samurai
Evil Wizard
Egyptian Warrior
Disco Diva

Carpenter
Alien Trooper
Sherrif
Paleontologist

Lady Cyclops
Goblin
Galaxy Trooper
Fencer

Hope you’re as excited as I am about Series 13! Now that official images are out, let me know in the comments which ones are you most looking forward to.

    Series 13 available in Toys R Us Gloucester today along with Series 12. Whatever happened to the Movie series? They soon disappeared.

      Oh lucky you! It’s still not out here in Australia yet.

      The Movie series sold out pretty quickly – probably due to how popular the movie was with fans both new and old!

    Hey Jay,

    I wen’t looking for these today but couldn’t find them any were. I suspect I am just to early however I noticed lego store AU has them available…

    Do you have any showing up in your stores?

      Hey Waz, it’s only available online for now. They just went on sale on LEGO.com yesterday if I recall correctly.

      I don’t think any of the 2015 LEGO sets have arrived in stores yet. You’ll probably have to wait another week or so (fingers crossed) before Series 13 starts showing up in the wild. If it was anything like the rollout of series 12, keep an eye out in the toy section of Coles and Woolworths – they might show up there first.

      Watch this space! I’ll be sure to post an update when Series 13 officially arrives in the country!

    Wow, I love them all but especially unicorn girl, king and snake charmer. Cool that there are moustaches – they must be placing a small hole in some mini figure heads. Ow.

      It’s actually a “neck” part that makes it look like the moustache is suspended. I don’t have a great picture right now as I’m at work but you can see the moustache part here http://imgur.com/ZFF3q3q It’s the black part right under the pistol. It’s actually very clever!

    I really love Hot Dog Guy and Unicorn Girl. Will these be out in Australia in January?

      We’re usually not too far behind the US and Europe when it comes to Minifigures release dates – so it’s a safe bet to say they’ll be here, probably in mid-January

    I was also surprised that Series 13 was revealed this early! do they usually release the next series this fast though? anyways, I always go for the minifigures which would fit in a LEGO City setting, so I’m definitely going to get the Carpenter.

      Yeah! Time flies doesn’t it! Series 12 came out in October and new ones are released about every quarter.

      The carpenter is great! Love how simple his look is, while being very distinctive at the same time.

        I know right! I really love his laid-back facial expression and even love the fact that they’ve used a re-coloured Hard Hat Emmet’s head gear. oh and I assume that his saw is a new mold. it looks sweet.

          Yeah, the saw and the printed wooden plank is new. I’m going to have to get a few of them – can’t just have one carpenter!

    Jay,
    Where do I start with this series? I’ll have to have another look at series 12 (seemed to have almost passed me by!) before I commit to any of this series, but I have to say that I’m particularly enamoured by the snake charmer and the sheriff. The look of the sheriff is probably about as close as one will get to a Lego incarnation of one Rick Grimes. My sets have been purchases based on a number of factors, but I’ve been keeping an eye out for sets with elements I could use to create a Walking Dead diorama. IMHO, some of the orc heads from the hobbit and LOTR sets could be used as zombies, too!

    I appreciate this post, as I really wasn’t aware of the next series being released so soon.

    All the best,
    Nick

      Cool! Yeah, the sherrif looked surprisingly good! I really like his hat and moustache.

      If you’re after zombies, you should try checking out Bricklink, but just buy the heads as they are much cheaper! You can then attach them to regular minifig bodies and torsos for a relatively affordable zombie horde!

Did you know that Fiona, the @lego Friends florist Did you know that Fiona, the @lego Friends florist is one of the first minidolls depicted with Down Syndrome?

Fiona works at the flower stall on Unity Street from 41732 Friends Downtown Flower and Design Stores 

She is described as being 'good at crafts and decorating, and knows all the flower species by name.' 

It's World Down Syndrome Day today and I think it's remarkable and very important for LEGO to enhance the perspectives of children on neurodiversity, physical disabilities, ethnicity and mental health, as they've done with the LEGO Friends reboot.

Here's my review of one of the most anticipate @LE Here's my review of one of the most anticipate @LEGO Disney sets - 43217 'Up' House ahead of its release on 1 April 2023!

This set is a dream come true for many Pixar fans, and we finally get a cute, compact and great looking Up House. 

It has plenty of references to the movie, and Carl's everlasting love of Ellie, his late-wife which will absolutely delight fans. 

Despite a strong lineup of minifigures (including an awesome Dug mould), the set's incredibly expensive pricetag (US$59.99/AU$89.99) doesn't feel like good value, especially with Kevin nowhere to be found.

Here are some shots of 77013 Escape from the Lost Tomb, which let's you recreate scenes from Raiders of the Lost Ark!

Indy, Sallah, and Marion break into the Well of Souls to retrieve the Ark of the Covenant in LEGO form, and this playset is packed with dynamic play features!

Priced at only US$39.99, this set is incredible value and a great way to get started with LEGO Indiana Jones!

Here's my editorial on LEGO 2K Drive, and why you should be extremely wary of 2K's well-documented and aggressive microtransaction game design philosophy. Wanted to wait a few days to properly digest this as modern video games aren't my forte, but here's a cautionary article. Surprised that not many other LEGO media commented or did any research into 2K's reputation, or the potential impact that microtransactions and season passes could have on what looks like a really fun game. ...
