Lego Minifigures Series 6 Review Part 2

January 14, 2012 By Jay 5 Comments

Here’s part 2 of the review! On another note, I found this shop tucked away in Bangsar Shopping Centre which so happened to have a fresh box of Series 6 minifigs! So I’ve pretty much got everything I want this time round. I could always do more with more Roman Legionaries though…

Each random pack of minifigures cost RM9.90

Butcher “Howdy! How about some meat?”

Lego Minifigures Series 6 - Butcher

Simple one here! The butcher has a really cool hat, which I’m fairly certain is new. If I’m not wrong, his cleaver is new too. Will come in handy for any homicide scenes or whatnot. Best part of this guy is his piece of meat. This would’ve been a nice accessory for the Caveman (series 1) but it works well here. The butcher’s apron and little bow tie is also a nice touch. Nothing much to hate about this guy! Would go great with any Town/City scenes!

Minifig Rating: 7/10

Genie “I’ll grant your wish…your wish for bricks!”

Lego Minifigures Series 6 - Genie

The Genie is a fantastic addition to the Minifigure family! From his custom feet, to pimp purple turban (with the cool jewel thingy), blue head with customary Genie grin and even a Magic Lamp thrown in for good measure, I really like this guy. If I had a ton of Prince of Persia sets, I would waste no time trying to recreate some scenes from Aladdin.

Minifig Rating: 8/10

Mechanic ““Sure, I can fix that…but wouldn’t it be even cooler with a rocket engine?””

Lego Minifigures Series 6 - Mechanic

Here’s Lego homage to teen musicals, a loose rendition of John Travolta’s iconic character in Grease. First of all, love the hair piece, if you compare them side by side, Lego has totally nailed it. The mechanic comes with a huge wrench, decent sized toolbox, but my favourite bit about him is the attention to detail. The blots of engine grease on his face, shirt and pants are a really nice touch.

Minifig Rating : 7/10

Bandit “Whaddya mean, I can’t have seven aces”

Lego Minifigures Series 6 - Bandit

Here’s one that took me quite by surprise at how well it was made. Initially, when pictures of Series 6 leaked out, I didn’t give the bandit much thought, but was glad I decided to get one. It’s a really bad-ass looking minifig all from his facial expression, to black (new colour for pistols!) pistols, scarf mask and most of all, the detail of printing on the body. He’s one of the few minifigs in Series 6 with both back and front printing and hey, who wouldn’t want a dude with bandoliers all over him? On another note, seeing this guy makes me wish Lego would bring back the Sheriffs & Indians theme.

Minifig Rating: 8/10 (bonus points for back and front printing and slick black pistols)

Surgeon “Some say laughter is the best medicine, but I say MEDICINE is the best medicine.”

Lego Minifigures Series 6 - Surgeon

Here’s one of my personal favourites from this set. It’s a really simple minifig, you get a syringe, and surgeon cap, but I really like the x-ray plate that comes with it. When I first saw picture, I didn’t dare dream that it would be translucent. It’s nice to see Lego getting back into civilian themes like hospitals instead of the same old police and firemen.

Minifig Rating: 7/10

Here’s a look at the surgeon in action.

That’s all for part 2!

    I’m loving that butcher mini-figure…especially the “muttonchop” side-burns!

Today is "Chap Goh Meh" or the Lantern Festival, t Today is "Chap Goh Meh" or the Lantern Festival, the final day of Chinese New Year. 🏮

It's a bit of a strange one this year, with the pandemic throwing plans into disarray, and my family being further away than usual, so celebrations were a little different in 2021.

Thank you @LEGO for an excellent range of Chinese Traditional Festival sets. 🙏

@little.ong (and myself) really loved the Duplo Happy Childhood Moments set, and I especially enjoyed the new dumplings element! 🥟

Spring Lantern Festival is one of the best LEGO sets I've had the pleasure of building, and I also appreciated the foray into the mythological origins of Lunar New Year with Story of Nian. 🧨🧧🎆

More sets that celebrate the rich cultural diversity of the world, please! 🌏
More photos of the upcoming #LEGO Amelia Earhart T More photos of the upcoming #LEGO Amelia Earhart Tribute are now available!

Coming March 2021 globally, but if you're in Australia, it's available from today onwards from @legocertifiedstores_anz!

Love the Polynesian influences that have inspired #ninjagoseason14 - The Island!

Really enjoyed building and reviewing the new #LEG Really enjoyed building and reviewing the new #LEGONinjago 71747 The Keeper's Village from Season 14 - The Island

For #Ninjago fans, it doesn’t get much better than this. 71747 The Keeper’s Village is packed with value and is a great centerpiece to Season 14 – The Island.

I have a soft spot for location, or structure-based Ninjago builds, so The Keeper’s Village strikes that itch in the best of ways.

The jungle lair sets the scene and provides a rich backdrop that works really well as a small playset and display piece.

Combined with a very generous helping of 5 minifigures, there’s a ton of value and playability built into the set, especially the stone pillar which works remarkably well as a “big enemy” for the Ninjas to deal with – it very much gives off a “mini-boss in a video game vibe”.

The highlights for me would be Chief Mammatus and Thunder Keeper’s designs. As a big fan of the Islanders theme, I love that #LEGO could callback to those designs in a fresh new way, utilising the tech and innovation that’s now possible through minifigure design.

Whether you’re an adult fan looking for a set that’s a bit more kiddy, outlandish and fun, or you’re planning to buy this for a young child who wants an engaging playset, I can highly recommend 71747 The Keeper’s Village.

Rating and score: 4/5 ★★★★✰
Thanks @lego for sending over the new #LEGONinjago Thanks @lego for sending over the new #LEGONinjago Season 14 sets ahead of their March release!

My first review of 71747 The Keeper's Village is already live on the blog! Speed build is live on YouTube as well!

Sharing photos from Japan because we miss travelling (and food!) but being in lockdown with you for 5 days isn't too shabby of an alternative.
