LEGO 71024 Disney Collectible Minifigures Series 2

Like other sites, I received a box of 60 sachets of minifigs from the 2nd series of Disney characters to collect (ref. 71024, ref. Of the box 6251229) and I therefore confirm that there is no only two complete sets of 18 characters per box. To complete the 3rd series, Riri, Fifi and Loulou are missing, which are only delivered in two copies.

The distribution of the 60 sachets is as follows:

Obviously, some are already crying scandal. However, I would just like to remind you that these boxes are in principle intended to serve as a display in the store. It is the fans who have appropriated the idea of ​​buying complete boxes to share the content, or resell the additional series to amortize the purchase of their personal series ... Failed for this time.

The average customer who will go to the checkout and select two or three sachets at random generally does not have to do with this distribution that he will not know and who leaves a little Huey, Dippy and Loulou aside here ...

In short, I am preparing a quick little test for you of these different characters about which you already know everything anyway, and above all I will bring into play three series of 20 bags, two of which include at least the 18 different characters. The third set in play will consist of the rest. Three winners then.

For others, availability announced for May 1st. 3.99 € the bag.

Today, LEGO unveils the 18 characters that make up the second series of Disney collectible minifigs (ref. 71024 - € 3.99 per unit, box of 60 sachets: ref. 6251229).

Here we find Mickey and Minnie in a version similar to that of the minifigs from the LEGO Ideas set 21317 Steamboat Willie, less metallic paint ...

For the rest, it's up to you, depending on your affinities with one or other of the Disney / Pixar universes, whose characters will be available in individual bags at the beginning of May: Scrooge, Riri, Fifi, Loulou, Tic, Tac , Jafar, Jasmine, Anna, Elsa, Hercules, Hades, Frozone, Edna Mode, Jack and Sally.

We will talk about all this in the "Review " incoming...

And 18! The 18th series of collectible minifigs (ref. 71021) will be on sale from April 1st on the LEGO Shop, in LEGO Stores and in many brands. LEGO was kind enough to send me a box for me to give you my opinion on the 17 characters that make it up.

As usual, there is no question here of making a Prévert-style inventory of what each sachet contains. I am content to give you some impressions of each of the characters.

Regarding the distribution of the characters between the 60 sachets in the box (ref. 6213825), refer to the numbers displayed at the bottom of each photo.

It's the 40th anniversary of the minifig as it still exists today and LEGO is celebrating it by changing the color of the plate that serves as a display for each character. No pad printing on these media and that's a shame, even if the MOCeurs will say the opposite. A small logo mentioning this anniversary, like the one on the box and on the bags, would have been welcome.

Let's get rid of the "problem" with this series of collectible minifigs right away: It will be difficult to put all 17 characters together. LEGO has once again decided to give an exclusive side to this series by integrating a character that is more difficult to find.

LEGO 71021 Collectible Minifigures Series 18

A single copy of the Classic Policeman, a minifigure that pays homage to the 600-2 set dating from 1978, is delivered in each box of 60 sachets. Even if you plan to band together to buy a box and divide up the (almost) full three sets that you find inside, two of you won't be able to get the cop.
If you decide to go feel the bag in the store in the hope of finding it, remember that the salespeople or a few morning AFOLs will probably have passed before you and you may end up empty-handed. You will only have your eyes (and Le Bon Coin or eBay) left to cry.

This minifigure is not exceptional, it is simply the exact replica of the 1978 version, here accompanied by a Tile which pays homage to the 600-2 set. Note that the 1978 minifigure was not pad printed at the time. The buttons and the badge of the police officer were on a sticker to stick on the chest.

The two characters disguised as LEGO bricks are provided in number in each box and the brick that dresses them is obviously compatible with other LEGO parts. These minifigs would have deserved better than being sold for four euros. It is a beautiful synthesis of the LEGO universe with a cross-over original between bricks and minifigs. I wouldn't have said no if these characters had been offered for a promotion on the LEGO Shop.

The type disguised as fireworks and the cactus woman are based on the same principle: A piece covers almost the entire minifigure with two side notches for the arms. It is successful, and it is even possible to choose the orientation of the branches of the cactus.

LEGO 71021 Collectible Minifigures Series 18

The branches of the cactus are obviously removable, they are attached to the torso like the usual arms. A good point, the two costumes hold their place on the minifigures via the grip on the tenon of the head, even when turned over.

The minifigure above is one of my favorites. Less for the costume as a whole than for being able to use the mini-car independently of the minifigure. The pilot and his helmet benefit from a very complete pad printing. Add to a Speed ​​Champions diorama.

LEGO 71021 Collectible Minifigures Series 18

The mini-car is superb with a little Lightning McQueen touch. It reminds me of the low-end small plastic cars of my childhood with the two axles to be fixed under a very simple frame. If LEGO decides one day to produce others in different colors, a merry-go-round is needed.

LEGO 71021 Collectible Minifigures Series 18

The two characters below share a common characteristic, they probably have difficulty moving around. The two costumes are put on differently: The flowerpot takes place between the legs and the torso of the minifigure and the type on the right is inserted in the cake, as evidenced by the splash of pink cream on the chest. Original but I pass.

LEGO 71021 Collectible Minifigures Series 18

If you get started in the bag testing, these two minifigs are incomparable, the bag is really inflated ... Overall, the blind identification of the contents of these bags is moreover rather easy, except perhaps for the two figures disguised in brick.

LEGO 71021 Collectible Minifigures Series 18

The two children provided in this series are not really in disguise. They are content to each hold a balloon and are accompanied by gifts and cookies. The legs are successful with a double injection which allows to obtain a true yellow on the whole surface.

LEGO 71021 Collectible Minifigures Series 18

It's better than a three-sided pad printing with a yellow that visually mixes with the color that serves as the support. A pair of yellow arms with white t-shirt sleeves is also always a good idea.
The young boy comes with two mini-sachets from the first series of collectible minifigs. Nice wink.

LEGO 71021 Collectible Minifigures Series 18

To follow, two minifigs with nice accessories: the guy on the left carries the body of the spider on his back and the head of the beast in the form of a mask. It's a really successful costume with a nice pad printing on the chest.

I'm less impressed with the clown on the right, but I still spent a few long minutes admiring the two ballooning dogs. Hard to reuse elsewhere, but if you have a fun fair diorama, why not.

LEGO 71021 Collectible Minifigures Series 18

Below, three more classic costumes, with a feeling of déjà vu. A pink skirt, a real mouse that changes us from the usual filthy LEGO rats, a pretty cat mask, there are still some nice accessories with these three characters.

The unicorn shield with the very successful pad printing will certainly find its audience among fans of the Castle universe who will eventually be able to build up a small army under this banner. The sword is provided. Otherwise, the guy disguised as the unicorn will join the similar minifigure seen in series 13.

LEGO 71021 Collectible Minifigures Series 18

Finally, a very original cowboy with a half-horse that goes around his neck. The piece is a little soft, the neckband was a little crushed in the bag. The cowboy's torso is magnificent, almost a pity that it is hidden by the half horse. lovers of Stetson will have four copies of this cowboy at their disposal in each box.

LEGO 71021 Collectible Minifigures Series 18

The guy disguised as a dragon leaves me unmoved, but at least he has the merit of being entitled to a pretty mask and wings that are placed around his neck. I always have more trouble with red "LEGO" parts, I find them obsolete. It is also on these parts, often slightly transparent, that I have the feeling of having in my hands a plastic of inferior quality to the rest of the LEGO production. Difficult to explain, I'll let you tell me if you have ever felt the same.

LEGO 71021 Collectible Minifigures Series 18

Note: The entire contents of the box provided by LEGO are involved. Three winners will be drawn. The first will receive the complete series with the Classic Policeman. the next two will receive a set of 16 characters.

It only took a few hours for all 17 characters from the 18th series of collectible minifigs (LEGO ref. 71021) to be revealed. The general theme is therefore the disguise and the party ...

The positive side of this new series is that fans of bag testing will find their task made easier by the molds of the different costumes. No chance to miss the coveted minifigure ...

These are the first visuals of four of the characters from the 18th series of collectible minifigs (LEGO ref. 71021), which will feature 17 costumed characters, and it's thanks to an illustration uploaded by a toy sign that we are therefore discovering for the first time the Red Suit Brick GuyBlue Suit Brick Girl, Cowboy Suit Guy and LEGO Fan Boy Balloon.

I haven't collected these multiple sets of generic sachet characters for a long time, but I would gladly make an exception for the two brick-disguised minifigs which I find very successful.

This new series of collectible minifigs is scheduled for April 2018.
