New Halloween 2020 Build a Minifigure parts!

September 27, 2020 By Jay Ong 7 Comments

With Halloween coming soon, LEGO stores around the world will soon get new Halloween-themed minifigure parts in their Build-a-Minifigure stations.

If you’re unaware, LEGO has been releasing minifigure parts/characters exclusively through the Build a Minifigure stations at LEGO Stores for some time now – check out the “Spring Edition” from earlier this year.

I live in Victoria, Australia, which means that our state has been in some form of lockdown due to Covid-19 and I haven’t been to a LEGO store in ages.

Thankfully, the Legoland Discovery Centre has an online shop which sells them, and I was able to order them and they arrived a few days ago.

They have the Halloween pack, Summer pack or a random selection. Shipping is fairly reasonable, especially if you don’t have a LEGO store nearby.

Otherwise, you’ll have to check your local LEGO store to see if these parts are already in the Build a Minifigure station.

Here’s a look at the blister pack that the minifigures come in.

Here’s a look at the new Tiger Cub minifigure, which is completely new and exclusive to LEGO Stores for now. It’s a kid dressed up in a Tiger costume (so technically, this should be a new addition to the Animal Suit minifigure sub-series) and is really adorable.

In addition to detailed printing across the torso and headpiece, the Tiger Cub also has orange face paint and whiskers which really makes it look like a Halloween-themed figure.

Here’s a look at the back printing, and the tail which also has tiger stripes on it. Sadly, the arms and legs don’t have tiger stripes which is a missed opportunity.

I love LEGO’s sense of continuity, as the Tiger Cub goes perfectly with the Monster-themed Series 14’s Tiger Woman – in my headcanon, they could be a mother and son/daughter going trick or treating together.

The next minifigure is this Warlock or Sorcerer, which has some interesting new re-coloured parts. I’m fairly sure that his torso, which has a skull necklace and a large belt is a new print.

He also has a new Witches hat headpiece, which has hair fused to it, coming in dark green for the first time. He comes with a pearl gold trident, which is an interesting choice for a weapon.

The wizard’s colour scheme reminds me of 7955 Wizard.

The curved dress piece in dark brown is also a fairly new element, only showing up this year with the Molly Weasley minifigure.

Last but not least is this Jack O Lantern skeleton, which is as Halloween as you can get. The Jack O’Lantern headpiece makes a welcome return, (last seen with 40351 Ghost Brickheadz.

It’s a great accessory that many will be happy to see in Build a Minifigure stations, and I imagine will be very popular in the leadup to Halloween.

Under the Pumpkin, is your standard skeleton head.

Unlike the first 2 minifigures, the parts with the Jack O’Lantern Skeleton aren’t new – and it shares the exact same torso and leg combination as Series 14’s Skeleton Guy.

I’m glad to see more interesting characters and parts introduced via Build-a-Minifigure, and the Tiger Cub especially will be very popular with collectors of Animal Suit minifigures.

If you’re lucky enough to be close to a LEGO Store with a Build a Minifigure station, it might be worth it to pay a visit and see if they have any of these.

With the pandemic and tighter hygiene requirements, I don’t expect Build a Minifigure stations to be operational or open, so hopefully LEGO stores will be pre-packaging these for sale. In any case, be safe and wear a mask when you go!

For those of you in Australia, you can order the new Halloween 2020 minifigure set from the Legoland Discovery Centre Online Shop as they’ll ship Australia-wide!

What do you think of these new Halloween minifigures? If you’ve seen them in your local LEGO store, let me know in the comments!

    Just bought mine but I didn’t get the accessories to the characters? Our store is currently hands-off so I’m curious if I take it back and request the staff and the bone…

      Yeah, the bone should come with it as an accessory as the Pumpkin Head is a helmet, not an accessory. I’d try going back and see if they’ll throw you a bone.

    It’s pretty weird to see Jack O’Latern Skeleton coming with strand are skeleton head instead of “human” head. It would be hilarious to imagine that trick-or-treaters realize Jack O’Lantern Skeleton is a real monster under costume!

      Haha yeah, I definitely was expecting a regular human head, but more Skulls are never a bad thing!

      Oh, I’m not 100% sure. I think it’s been running since last year?

      New Elementary has a great running tally of some of the exclusive parts produced:

Here's an official look at the newly announced 762 Here's an official look at the newly announced 76262 Captain America's Shield, coming 1 September 2023! 

It joins the other collection of large Marvel things like Mjolnir, Black Panther Bust, Nano/Infinity Gauntlet and Iron Man helmet.

Unfortunately, the lack of utility with this means that it's mostly a display piece, albeit a very large one.

Looking at the back of the shield, and having gotten an opportunity to see this set a few months ago, it's really not recommended to carry it.

And it also looks like you can't hang it up, so it's meant to just sit in it's stand.

But... It's big, I guess? 🤷‍♂️

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.
