Official reveal of the LEGO Disney Minifigures

March 30, 2016 By Jay 65 Comments

LEGO Disney Minifigures

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.

LEGO Disney Minifigures Lineup

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! 😉

LEGO Disney Minifigures Character Names

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.

LEGO Disney Minifigures Box Breakdown

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.

    • Matt Merrill says

      May 8, 2016 at 10:37 AM

      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.

      May 9, 2016 at 8:18 AM

      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!

      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-

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

    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!!! 🙂

    But that Stitch and Buzz… Oh I will need those. Ursuline and Maleficent look fantastic too.

      March 31, 2016 at 9:02 PM

      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.

      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!

    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?

    Reply
  26. Naomi says

    March 30, 2016 at 9:23 AM

    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!

    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.

    Reply
    • Jay says

      March 30, 2016 at 10:00 AM

      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 🙁
