LEGO 71030 Looney Tunes Collectible Minifigures Series

Today we are quickly interested in the series of LEGO characters 71030 Looney Tunes Collectible Minifigure Series, a collection of 12 minifigs that features some iconic members of the Warner Bros. bestiary.

The more observant will have noticed that there are only 11 of the 12 characters in the photo above and this is not a mistake on my part. LEGO has sent a box of 36 sachets to many blogs and other media and in some of those boxes the breakdown doesn't even get a full set. There should have been three complete sets in the box I received, but Bip Bip is present in 6 copies instead of 3 and Coyote is missing. There is therefore no complete series in the box that I received.

LEGO didn't really try to provide us with the missing character until the reviews were released and invokes an isolated issue that should be fixed by the time the boxes go on sale on April 26th. My advice: wait for the first buyers to confirm that the distribution of the boxes makes it possible to obtain several complete series before investing in a packaging of 36 sachets.

That being said, I therefore have 11 of the 12 characters left to form an opinion on this series of minifigs. First observation, except for Lola Bunny, we cannot say that LEGO has forced on the pad printing and it is logical: the original design of most of these characters is minimalist and the LEGO version only reproduces the few graphic details present on the screen.

I will not describe to you through the menu what you can see in the photos of each character, I have tried to offer you something to give you a very precise idea of ​​what each of the 11 sachets I have allows you to obtain .

Despite the relative simplicity of some pad prints, LEGO still finds a way to spoil some of them with white or pink areas printed on a dark background which remain very bland and which do not match the color of the other associated parts. This is the case for the torsos of Grosminet, Bugs Bunny or even Porky Pig, Vil Coyote being affected by what I have seen elsewhere. At 3.99 € the figurine, I think we are however entitled to be demanding on the finish, with real minifigs which correspond to the very optimistic and misleading official visuals.

Another observation: many of the parts in these bags are damaged as soon as they are unpacked, for example with several torsos whose edges are slightly scratched. When these parts are abundantly pad-printed, these defects are less visible but the minimalist aesthetic of these figurines requires to provide parts with an irreproachable finish.

We could also discuss the difficulty of wanting to convert characters whose physical appearance does not really lend themselves to it into minifig format. The heads here are generally faithful and they save the furniture but Bip Bip, and to a lesser extent Titi, have a little trouble getting used to a pair of classic legs. Some will see it as an adaptation respecting the usual LEGO codes where others may find that we are moving a little too far from the reference designs. Each his own.

Taz (The Tasmanian Devil) is offered here with a stand that loosely mimics the acceleration of the character's legs, with the front piece a bit bulky when it comes to wisely lining up the minifigs in a frame or on a shelf. A cast as a replacement for the legs, in my opinion, would have been a better choice to reinforce the dynamics of the character as it is portrayed on screen as the character moves.

LEGO could also have made an effort regarding Marvin the Martian by molding a part for the green skirt with the raised edges. The manufacturer knew how to do it for Minnie's skirt or here for Petunia Pig, so it was possible to avoid the simple piece of fabric provided and to really improve the appearance of this character. Marvin also combines bad technical choices with a pad printing of his pair of Chuck Taylor All-Stars which lacks bite and which would have deserved to be directly molded in its final shade.

For the rest, lovers of Cheese Slopes will be delighted to be entitled to a literal interpretation of the term provided in triplicate, the panel with the inscription "That's All Folks"would probably have deserved a colored background identical to the one on the exit screen of the cartoons and LEGO could have made an effort to make Lola Bunny's accessory really look like a basketball.

Finally, it is difficult to ignore the great absentees of this series of minifigs: Sam the Pirate (Yosemite Sam), Elmer Fudd and Pépé le Putois (Pépé Le Pew) were notably not selected. One can imagine that this is because the first two are carrying around weapons, the current era being the avoidance of anything that can potentially trigger a controversy in one way or another. Regarding Pepe the Polecat, the character was simply banned by Warner Bros. because the French-accented skunk is accused by some of "perpetuating the culture of rape". Of which act.

In the end, I am divided about this series of collectible minifigs which we do not know for the moment if it will be supplemented one day by other collectible figures. There is no indication that this is a first series and LEGO adds the mention Limited Edition which confirms that it will probably be necessary to be satisfied with this non-exhaustive casting.

I imagine that the buzz around the movie Space Jam 2, scheduled for July 2021 and which features some of these characters, will have fallen off a long time ago anyway and it will then be difficult to offer 12 new figures later without having to go look for a big handful of second-class characters to furnish.

On the one hand, this collection of 12 characters takes me back to my young years lulled by hilarious cartoons and on the other it seems too incomplete to really satisfy my nostalgia. Elmer Fudd and Sam the Pirate seemed to me to be inescapable though, I watched them for hours trying to shoot Bugs Bunny.

I'm not insulting you to explain to you how to find each character by feeling the bags, there is no risk of confusion here, a little common sense is enough and I think that it is not necessary to specify that need "look for this or that element or accessory"... You print the leaflet provided in every sachet I scanned for you a few days ago, it is intended for that, and you will have to try and find a toy store that still allows this type of activity.

Otherwise, I remind you that you can pre-order now the box of 72 sachets at the price of 232.99 € at Minifigure Maddness (use the code HOTH92 to benefit from a € 4 reduction on the initial price of € 236.99). Distribution is not guaranteed.

Note: The product shown here, provided by LEGO, is as usual involved. 2 winners, 2 lots of 12 minifigs distributed as best as possible. the 3rd prize will be up for grabs on Instagram. Deadline set at 7th May 2021 next at 23pm.

LEGO 71030 Looney Tunes Collectible Minifigures Series

Almost everyone has seen the new series of 12 Looney Tunes characters to collect, but LEGO is still splitting a few visuals to formalize the announcement of this collection of minifig in sachets which will be available at the end of April.

You can pre-order now the box of 72 sachets at the price of 232.99 € at Minifigure Maddness (use the code HOTH92 to benefit from a € 4 reduction on the initial price of € 236.99). The distribution is not guaranteed at this stage and the box of 36 sachets that I received from LEGO does not bode well on this point.

In the sachets which will be grouped in boxes of 36 or 72 units:

  • The Tasmanian Devil (Taz)
  • Speedy Gonzales
  • GrosMinet / Sylvester (Sylvester)
  • Tweety (Tweety)
  • Lola Bunny
  • Bugs Bunny
  • Petunia pig
  • Porky Pig
  • Daffy Duck
  • Marvin the Martian
  • Wile E. Coyote (Wile E. Coyote)
  • Beep-Beep (Road Runner)

We will speak again tomorrow about these different characters on the occasion of a "Partially tested".

LEGO 71030 Looney Tunes Collectible Minifigures Series

The "official" announcement of these minifigs has not yet taken place but some can already buy them: boxes of 36 sachets of the minifigs of the Looney Tunes character series to collect (ref. 71030) are on sale and the first visuals of this collection of 12 characters are now available.

The series of 12 characters consists of the following figures:

  • The Tasmanian Devil (Taz)
  • Speedy Gonzales
  • GrosMinet / Sylvester (Sylvester)
  • Tweety (Tweety)
  • Lola Bunny
  • Bugs Bunny
  • Petunia pig
  • Porky Pig
  • Daffy Duck
  • Marvin the Martian
  • Wile E. Coyote (Wile E. Coyote)
  • Beep-Beep (Road Runner)

As with all licensed collectible minifig series, some may regret the absence of this or that character based on their childhood memories and for me it is mostly Sam the Pirate (Yosemite Sam) and Pépé le Putois (Pépé Le Pew) which are missing here. No chance of seeing the skunk one day in minifigure format, the character has been permanently removed from the Looney Tunes bestiary by Warner Bros. due to criticism related to his behavior in certain scenes.

There should be three complete sets of 12 characters in a box of 36 sachets but it will be necessary to wait for several buyers to confirm the distribution. LEGO sent me a box to offer you a review of this series of characters in the coming days but after inventory, one of the 12 characters is missing in the box and another is provided in 6 copies instead of 3 ...

LEGO 71029 Collectible Minifigure Series: 3 complete sets per box?

The first copies of the boxes of 36 sachets of the 21st series of minifigs to collect (ref. 71029) provided by LEGO contained three complete sets of 12 characters and it did not take more for this statistic calculated on the basis of a few boxes to spread like wildfire.

Attention, nothing and no one confirms for the moment, and especially not LEGO, that this ideal distribution will be the same on the boxes which will be supplied to the resellers at the beginning of January 2021. It is therefore advisable to exercise caution if you attempt a pre-order in company of two of your friends who rely on you to provide them with a complete set of 12 characters.

If you do not want to wait for a more global availability of these boxes to obtain confirmation of the distribution based on the expected arrival in January 2021, you can pre-order a box of 36 sachets at Minifigure Maddness which offers a reasonable price (3.30 € per bag instead of € 3.99). Expedition announced at best for January 25, 2021, the brand obviously does not guarantee the distribution.
