UPDATE: I’ve completed my LEGO Disney Minifigures review. Be sure to read it to see photos and my thoughts on all 18 Disney minifigures!
Earlier today, LEGO and Disney finally (and officially) unveiled their latest collaboration – LEGO Disney Minifigures! The much-anticipated mashup of LEGO’s beloved Minifigure theme and some of your most beloved Disney characters is a dream come true for Disney and LEGO fans.
The lineup consists of Disney icons: Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Stitch, Ariel, Ursula, Aladin, Genie, Captain Hook, Peter Pan, Mr Incredible, Syndrome, Maleficent, Alice, Cheshire Cat, Buzz Lightyear and the Alien from Toy Story.
A decent introduction to Disney minifigures, but drawing on Disney’s massive library of movies and characters, a 2nd and 3rd series is almost inevitable to add in more characters.
The release date for the LEGO Disney Minifigures is 1 May 2016 and should be available worldwide at around the same time. The pricing of the LEGO Disney Minifigures should remain the same – US$3.99 and AU$4.99 respectively.
I’m Rick James Bricks is currently running preorders for a full set of Disney minifigures which will cost $90. There will be free shipping on all pre-orders via his website. Look out for an upcoming collaboration with him in the coming weeks for an exclusive offer just for Jay’s Brick Blog readers! 😉
There’s no official checklist out yet, but I’ve cobbled my own together as I did with previous minifigure series featuring the character names of each of Disney minifigure in case you’re unaware of who some of them are. Much easier to view the entire lineup this way.
In a departure from the regular 16 characters in a series, The Disney Minifigure Series will see 18 characters in one complete set. I guess this is a great way to pack in 2 extra characters, although one has to wonder what the distribution of minifigures in a whole box will be.
My prediction? We’ll only see 2 complete sets in one box.
UPDATE: A user on Legend Bricks, Karleo Wong has posted the box breakdown, showing the distribution of minifigures in a box of LEGO Disney Minifigures. I’m glad that my pessimism was totally unfounded and that there are indeed 3 complete sets of Disney Minifigs in one box.
Here’s the ratio of minifigures:
- Mickey Mouse x 4
- Stitch x 4
- Genie x 4
- Mr Incredible x 4
- Syndrome x 4
- Toy Story Alien x 4
- Minnie Mouse x 3
- Donald Duck x 3
- Daisy Duck x 3
- Ariel x 3
- Ursula x 3
- Aladin x 3
- Captain Hook x 3
- Peter Pan x 3
- Maleficent x 3
- Alice x 3
- Cheshire Cat x 3
- Buzz Lightyear x 3
I’m pretty pleased that there will be 4x Aliens per box as that should aid my army building!
All in all, I’m pretty excited about this set. The Minifigures I’m most excited about are Mr Incredible & Syndrome, Ursula, Maleficent and the Cheshire Cat. I will definitely be army building the Toy Story Alien, which has always been a dream of mine. I predict that the Alien will be the most coveted minifigure out of the entire series.
Check out the gallery below for single photos of each Disney minifigure.

I think lego should make a series 2 or even more for the Disney minifigure series. E.g.:Winnie the Pooh, Big hero 6, Jungle Book, Monster University………………There are so many character that could be made. Hope that Disney allow Lego to make more series
Jay, did you try to weigh each mini-figure? I figured that the best way to guess the minifigure is by measuring the weight… I’m planning to buy a box without opening them all 😀
I have thought about it but I would need a scarily accurate scale, like the kinds they use in labs. I tried with a regular kitchen scale but it didn’t quite work.
Good luck trying to find a complete box!
These are so cool. Went into our local toyworld today to hopefully get a Buzz Lihhtyear and Minnie Mouse for our 7yr old daughter only to be told they were sold out of the preopened ones and those figures were rare in the box. They had said out of 2 complete boxes they had opened they only had 1 Buzz Lightyear and 1 Minnie in each which seems very bizarre.
Hoping we can get them before they sell out.
That sounds really fishy…every previously unopened box I’ve come across had no less than three if each figure. Minnie and Buzz are always packed at 3 each per case. Someone must be trying to create an artificial scarcity.
Yeah, that’s really weird as there are supposed to be at least 3 of each minifigure in each box. Best to grab them as soon as possible as they’re selling really, really quickly!
I’ve thought a Lego Baymax that was the white baymax, with orange armor pieces to put over him, would be all kinds of epic. But Disney have such a legacy left to mine – proper Frozen minifigs, Lion King, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Pinocchio… it’s endless!
I Hope they add Big Hero 6 Characters in a Future Series.
Agreed! Big Hero 6 was such a great surprise at the box office – if they ever made it as minifigures, they’d most certainly come with some pretty cool accessories too. A LEGO Baymax would be all sorts of cool too.

We got to the store yesterday and I let each of my children pick out 2 bags. We didn’t feel the bags, we aren’t seasoned enough to figure it out. Out of 10 bags, we got 3 Alice’s, 2 Cheshire, 1 Mickey, 1 Malificent, 2 Daisy, 1 Minnie- we were a little disappointed, but excited to try again when they aren’t sold out-
Yeah me too.
I must get the Syndrome. I really like it.
Yeah, his hairpiece was a real treat! Thank goodness its made out of ABS plastic!
Hey Jay, Any update on the collaboration offer with Rick James Bricks you mentioned in the article?
Also I keep getting the Disney minifigures showing as unavailable to preorder on Rick Jams Bricks too?
Hey Jake, sorry I’ve got nothing to share at this moment!
Have you checked the link again? It should work now!
Any news on why preorders are closed on Rick James? I’d love to preorder, but it’s showing up as not available.
Also, anyone seen these in the wild yet?
Hey, just checked with Rick James Bricks and they’re back up!
Ugh I know right?! Our local woollies hasn’t had any new ones since series 13, still flogging Simpsons too! Coles has been a little better but they still have the monster series atm. Shocking!
LOL not at all, but when I hear security called I feel dodgy ? Like I’ve probably been there too long & ive got blind bags spread everywhere!
Haha I’m sure they’re used to it by now. Speaking of which, I’m surprised that the Series 15 minifigs haven’t ended up in Coles yet. My local is still trying to flog off Simpsons Series 2s!
No way, the hunt is fun! Even if you do hear Coles call security over the loud speaker… ?
Haha! If security is after you, I think you’re doing it wrong 😛
OH MY GOSH THIS IS AWESOME!!! 😀 😀 😀 I will be getting these! (and hoping for Mr. Incredible) 😀
I know! Now that Disney minifigs are a thing, there’ll be SO many characters that they can turn into minifigs! Can’t wait!
They better make more waves!!! I want to see characters from Big Hero 6, Wreck-it-Ralph, Frozen (minifig form), Inside Out, Zootopia, and Narnia. 🙂 Although, the Cheshire cat on two legs is a bit weird, but if they’re going to do that, they should do The Lion King! 😀
I myself have to satisfy my OCD & complete sets however even if I didn’t, I’d still be collecting the full set of these! I shall also await the special deal from Rick & get my set this way but I’ll also go on the hunt, my kids will want a couple of these each for themselves & they’re perfect for rewards! Mummy’s minifigs are not for kiddie fingers lol
Haha nice! I think Rick also sells loose minifigs so that’ll be a good alternative if you want to avoid hunting and competing with everyone else!
Wow! Awesome series, I’m gonna get Mickey, Donald, Minnie, Buzz, Alien (Probably 3), Cheshire Cat, Mr. Incredible and Syndrome. Considering Peter Pan for those knife pieces which are great for DC villain Mocs
Yeah the Pearl Gold knives are great. Wish they’d bring back those chrome silver ones from Aquazone!
I’m most excited for the Toy Story alien minifig!! I collected every Toy Story alien I came across for many years so I see myself getting multiples of that figure. Second on my list is the Cheshire Cat & Alice. Then Maleficent and Ursula, of course a Buzz to accompany the alien….. I see myself collecting quite a few from this series!!! 🙂
A Toy Story Alien kindred spirit! I only have like… 3 Aliens, so my collection definitely needs bolstering!
Very excited for this series, ah I can’t wait to get my hands on the set!
Wait… Both Aladin and the Genie come with a lamp? Shouldn’t Aladin come with a carpet or monkey instead?
But that Stitch and Buzz… Oh I will need those. Ursuline and Maleficent look fantastic too.
Well, it kinda makes sense so they’re both standalone minifigs with their own accessories. A printed tile carpet wouldve been nice though!
Ursula is so well done!
I’m looking forward to own Alladin (finally, a figure with skintone other than yellow or flesh I can own) Mr. Incredible (and I hope there’s Elastigirl in the next series). Oh, and I hope there would be a Hercules figure in the next seriess, IF any.
Ugh, I’ve got so many on my Series 2 wishlist as well. Elastigirl would be cool but Frozone would be awesome! I’d love Hercules too, and also Mulan while we’re at it!
I’m interested in Mr. Incredible but it’s too bad that the rest of his family aren’t included. I bet there’s going to be a Part 2 just like The Simpsons.
I know! The Incredibles is one of my favourite movies of all time. Really hoping we get not only Elastigirl but Frozone in Series 2!
This’ll probably be the first full set I get (yes Rick, I’m looking at you :)). Love the specially-molded stuff like Buzz’s headpiece. And Stitch – must have Stitch! The number of rockets I will build him!
Nice 🙂
Glad someone appreciates Buzz. He’s been getting a lot of flak because he doesn’t have a moulded head like the ones in the Toy Story sets. I like the change, some variety is always nice.
Stitch seems to be a fan favourite with the rest of the commenters!
These are fabulous. I am most excited about Alice, Captain Hook and Peter Pan. Thanks for the update ?
Nice picks! Peter Pan looks brilliant. Really needs a Tinkerbell in an upcoming Disney Princess set or Series 2!
I want Stitch, but all the other figures are pretty bland. I am disappointed in the genie an Captain Hook figures.
Yeah Genie looks a little off. I’m just looking forward to swapping out their faces for generic LEGO smiley faces and see how they look, heh.
Well, Genie had a different head shape altogether. Maybe they should’ve did that instead? Either way, we finally get an official Lego tribute to Robin Williams! RIP, you great actor, you.
I’m going after Stitch. And Buzz. And Peter and Maleficent and OH SCREW IT I’M GETTING THEM ALLLLLLLLLLLL!
You can preorder from us today: http://imrickjamesbricks.com.au/disney-minifigures-full-set/
Ooooh. But no thank you, I can hunt for them. It’s what makes this fun!
I’m still gonna hunt for Aliens :p
Yeah, hunting is fun! Also, got the Batman Gotham City Cycle Chase set! Holy jeez, it’s a great set. Just one complaint: tan Batman. Just tan Batman. So I took that head off and replaced it with one of my lighter beige flesh ones. Headband’s fine with me for now.
Ah I just picked that up 2 days ago! Looking forward to building it! I’m moving at the moment so I’ve had zero time/space to build till everything is unpacked. Ugh, not Tan Batman again.
I ordered the last series from Rick James Bricks this way, it was great not having to stand in Kmart for hours feeling bags haha! Will definitely be buying this set from you too, just waiting for the special collab that Jay mentions in this blog post!
Nice! It sure does help save so much time eh? I still stand in stores feeling up bags, if I’m after multiple minifigs :p
Stay tuned for news in the next few weeks!
Hmmm. I’ve been sitting here for several minutes trying to decide how I feel about this lineup. I love the older Disney films and cartoons represented in the series, but I’m always more excited about the original CMF lineups, and don’t usually collect figures that don’t fit with the traditional themes. The Incredibles figures and maybe Aladin and the genie would probably fit in with what I already collect, Captain Hook would have been better with a specially molded head, he looks too weird without his trademark huge nose and chin. And no Goofy?
Oh my goodness! I am so excited about these. It’s an interesting collection of figures for their first release and, I presume, aiming at a cross-section of fans to generate excitement for future sets.
I love the look of the leg/skirt pieces for Minnie and Alice. If they’re actually moulded plastic (as they look in the pictures), it’s a nice departure from the wrap-around fabric skirts the minifigures usually get.
I am most excited about Mickey Mouse, and of course I’d have to get Minnie to stand beside him 🙂
My kids haven’t gotten into many of the Disney movies, but will be super excited about Buzz and the Alien, and Mr Incredible too.
Hopefully we can see Woody in the next collection.
Yeah, those skirt pieces caught my eye. I’m curious to see if they’re actually moulded to the legs or if they’re a separate piece like Series 15’s Ballerina.
Poor Buzz, can’t believe he won’t have his buddy with him! Also no Lilo as well which was kind of weird but then again, if you’re listing out missing minifigs you could literally go on and on!
Like the Red Queen and Jessie and all the Disney Princesses and Jasmine and Cruella and The Evil Queen and Snow White and Stinky Pete the Prospector and the Green Army Men (new design please) and Bo Peep and Tinkerbell and Mr. Smee and Goofy and Pete and Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps (I’d really like a Zootopia minifig collection, with Nick, Judy, Bogo, Lionheart, Peter Moosebridge, Gazelle, Clawhauser and a few others. Maybe Duke or Bellweather.) …What was I saying again? I’ve spoken for so long I can’t remember. Oh, I’ll just stop right he-
And it’s probably a separate piece. Just a hunch.
You’re probably right on the money. Minnie’s skirt looks near identical in shape.
Disney should hire you. Zootopia? Just gimme some Hamster businesspeople
That’s very kind. Disney should do this more often! Please let there be more Pixar in wave 2.
Really? I think the Alien will be the LEAST coveted figure, given that he is very dimilar to an existing Toy Story figure.
I wish we could have got more minifigs I like… the only one I think I’ll be getting is Buzz… I was hoping for… I don’t even know… overall I’m dissapointed though.
I think it’ll be highly coveted because it’s the only minifig that would look good in multiples. I can’t see anyone amassing an army of Mickeys or Genies.
Toy Story came out a long time ago, and these Aliens cost about AU$10 (average price) on Bricklink, so these should be a much cheaper way to pick a few up.
Buzz is cool but I’m pretty sad that Woody wasn’t included to accompany him 🙁
Woody being saved for next series!
Goofy too! LEGO and Disney sure make for a really potent money making machine.
