Lego Minifigures Series 6 Review Part 1

January 10, 2012 By Jay Ong 6 Comments

Series 6 has finally hit Malaysia! Randomly went into Brickboy’s yesterday and my heart did a double take as I saw the white box on their counter. Wasted no time in picking up a few packs but as I suspected, Lego fans with connections to Brickboys had already swept through the boxes picking up all the Legionaries, Highlanders and Space Girls.

Not surprised one bit and I will have some time in the future to amass my army of Roman Legionaries in due time.

Each random pack of minifigures cost RM9.90

Here’s a bunch of minifigs I managed to pick up.

Classic Alien “The truth is around here somewhere!”

Lego Minifigures Series 6 -  Alien

First up, we’ve got a classic Area 51 Alien guy! Overall a simple but effectively done minifigure capturing the essence of the popular image of extra terrestrials. Scores points for being true to its source material and minimalism.

Minifig Rating: 8/10

Lady Liberty “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled Minifigures yearning to build free!”

Lego Minifigures Series 6 -  Statue of Liberty

I love everything about this stunning rendition of the Statue of Liberty. From the colours, to the flame to the hair piece and the tablet she’s holding. Everything is spot on, right down to the text on the tablet, which is the date of the American Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776. Do note that the hairpiece is made of squishier, non-ABS plastic but that’s fine with me, the quality doesn’t feel suspect.

Minifig Rating: 9/10

Leprechaun “Sure, I’ll show you where my gold is hidden! Just close your eyes and spin around three times…”

Lego Minifigures Series 6 -  Leprechaun

The mythical Irish creature has all the trappings of a cute minifigure to get. I wouldn’t call this a must-get, but I liked it enough to warrant a purchase. For me, I like the green Top-Hat (will come in handy for any St Patrick’s Day builds!), pot and the print on the Leprchaun’s torso (even though he has a 3 leaf clover instead of a 4). Only bit I’m disappointed in is the inclusion of pearly gold 1×1 round bricks instead of traditional Lego Golden Coins.

Easily rectified, this time with a pot of real gold under a rainbow.

Lego Minifigures Series 6 - Pot of Gold

Minifig Rating : 6/10

Clockwork Robot “Beep-boop! Who-wants-a-hug?”

Lego Minifigures Series 6 -  Robot

This. This is everything a new minifig should be. Charming, unique and just lovingly designed. The Clockwork Robot is the perfect combination of cute and goofy. Excellent torsio and feet painting (the knobs are shiny!), wonderful use of colours, a new unique square head and red hands. I liked them I bought two (for now… A robot army MAY come in handy, you never know) and what’s a clockwork robot without a clockwork wind me up key?

One if not the best minifigs of Series 6.

How can you not love these little dudes!

Minifig Rating: 12/10

That’s all for now, stay tuned for part 2! Hope I get to find some Roman Legionaries soon!

    The three leaf clover is the Irish Shamrock. A famous plant in Irish culture.

Here's my review of 41757 Botanical Garden, hands Here's my review of 41757 Botanical Garden, hands down one of THE best sets of 2023 and a gleaming beacon of just how far the LEGO Friends theme has matured. 

When you see the LEGO Friends Botanical Garden, it quickly becomes apparent that LEGO have something special on their hands with a design that's simply beautiful.

Hit the link in bio to read my full review!

It's truly a mark of a mature theme, that LEGO could debut a tasteful design like this into LEGO Friends, but crafted in such a way that it will also have broad appeal to City builders, or even fans who want a stunning architectural masterpiece to display their minifigures or minidolls in.

With so many amazing designs and sets being produced by Billund, 41757 Botanical Garden deservedly takes it's place as one of the best LEGO sets of 2023 and I can heartily recommend this set to everyone, and I have a gut feeling that this will be one of the best-selling LEGO Friends set of the year.

LEGO have revealed a whole bunch of Marvel and DC LEGO have revealed a whole bunch of Marvel and DC Comics sets including the highly anticipated 76261 Spider-Man Final Battle featuring all 3 Spider-Man from No Way Home!

Got a chance to see a preliminary model of 76261 a few months ago, and while the minifigure lineup is impressive, the model is absolutely tiny.

Venomised Groot is super cute, and the Batwing is an absolute winner at this scale and price.

This is LEGO 40364 Icons of Play, a set celebratin This is LEGO 40364 Icons of Play, a set celebrating some of the most accomplished female football players.

It features minifigures of @samanthakerr20, @mrapinoe, @yuki_nagasato and @asisat_oshoala, and is set to be released on 6 June 2023! 

I read some extremely disgusting misogynistic comments on this set, from the usual terminally-online, incel-esque dudebros who probably need to get out a little.

Women's football is on the up and up, with exponential growth in game attendance, and TV viewership, and this is really smart timing on LEGO's part, releasing this just before the FIFA Women's World Cup starts.

Women's football has massive grassroots support, and is a hugely popular sport for young girls, the very builders of tomorrow that LEGO is continually trying to inspire.

LEGO is even a sponsor of the Australian national women's team @thematildas!

It's not even a bad set, and will integrate nicely into LEGO City, with clear references to the popular Football theme from the early 2000s.

Still, it's very disappointing (but not surprising) to see large LEGO pages continue to encourage and not take a stronger stance against sexism and misogyny. 

Do better with your influence and reach.
