Review : LEGO 71024 Disney Collectible Minifigures Series 2 (Part 2)

We continue to discover a little more closely the different characters of the second series of Disney minifigs to collect (ref. LEGO 71024) with a zoom on the last eight minifigures which join the 10 others I was telling you about. in the first part of the test.

If Jasmine already has a very advanced career at LEGO with several sets in which this character appears in mini-doll format, this is the first version of Jafar to be produced at LEGO. Many fans will certainly be delighted to be able to add these two minifigs to their collection which already includes a version of Aladdin and the Genie, two characters delivered in the first series of Disney collectible minifigs in 2016 (ref. Lego 71012).

Jafar's minifigure is overall very successful, even if we can regret the absence of Iago, the cunning parrot while Jasmine is delivered from her pet bird. On closer inspection, we can see that LEGO has chosen to use a torso for Jafar in Dark Red on which large black areas are pad printed. Result: The black of the torso is not as deep black as the bottom of the outfit which is tinted throughout.

Jafar's headdress is perfect, it falls perfectly on the character's shoulders, also equipped with epaulettes already seen in the Ninjago range. The reflection effect on the stone that adorns the headdress is striking and the scepter, already seen in the hands of the pharaoh from series 2 of collectible minifigs does the job.
Jasmine's minifigure is also very successful, but I still note a few annoying flaws. The skin tone on the figure's torso does not match perfectly with those of the girl's arms and head, and the white areas placed on the front side of the feet are not perfectly centered. More embarrassing in my eyes, the "wig" effect already seen on Elsa and Anna with a headdress which already equips Jasmine in mini-doll version and which, even nested correctly, leaves an unsightly space at the front of the minifigure.

No junction between the sleeves and the bust of Jasmine's outfit due to technical limitations that LEGO has not resolved to date: only a limited area of ​​the arms can be pad printed.

In a box of 60 sachets: 3 copies of Jafar and Jasmine.

Edna Mode and Frozone also join our collections and complete the inventory of minifigs based on the universe of the Incredibles after the figures of Mr. Incredible and Syndrome delivered in the first series of minifigs to collect Disney in 2016 (ref. Lego 71012) and the series of LEGO Juniors sets based on the second part of the saga marketed in 2018.

Edna Mode had also been the subject of an adaptation to the minifig format a little disappointing in the polybag bearing the reference 30615 offered in 2018 with the video game based on the animated film.

The character gains credibility and loyalty to his digital version with this new minifigure. The torso is more neutral, but the face of the minifigure with its glasses molded directly on the hair is really more convincing than the minifigure of the polybag 30615. Too bad the color Flesh a little too light glasses do not match perfectly with that of the head.

The Frozone minifigure was eagerly awaited by fans who had until now been content with the BrickHeadz version (ref. Lego 41613) of this character who was already shining by his absence in the three LEGO Juniors boxes sold in 2018.

The minifig is superb, it's flawless, but the relative simplicity of the character's costume will have made LEGO's job easier. If I had to pick up one detail, it would be the junction between the areas of different colors on the arms. This is approximate and LEGO still has to work on its bi-injection process to obtain a slightly clearer demarcation.

In a box of 60 sachets: 4 copies of Frozone and 3 copies for Edna Mode.

Jack Skellington and Sally have so far only had top honors in the LEGO BrickHeadz line of buildable figures (ref. Lego 41630). This was arguably insufficient for most fans of the animated film The Nightmare Before Christmas (The Nightmare Before Christmas).

The two characters are now making their entry into the world of minifigs with these interpretations that will probably divide fans. As with Anna and Elsa, the switch to minifig format erases all the grace of these skinny characters.

Here again, LEGO shows the full extent of its know-how by multiplying the techniques used and the result should meet the expectations of the most demanding fans. For those who are wondering, the bat-shaped bow tie is a unique piece.

The box supplied with Jack is nicely decorated and the cover is fitted. Inside, you can store the four snowflakes delivered. The white printed on the black torso does not match the slightly creamy white of the character's head but we will do with it. The arms are perfectly pad printed over the entire length of the almost flat outer area. The pattern of the pants stops at the limit from which LEGO can no longer really print in the hollow of the leg / foot junction. It's not very serious even if it helps to visually compact the character a little more.

Sally's minifigure is magnificent, there is the patchwork of fabrics that dresses the character. Two-tone injection of the limbs, perfect alignments of the different shades, printing on the forearms, everything is there. Unlike other characters' hair, Sally's hair is made of stiff plastic. As for Jack, it's up to everyone to see if the minifig format is adapted to the morphology of the character.

In a box of 60 sachets: 3 copies of Jack Skellington and Sally.

Finally, Hercules and Hades, two characters based on the animated film released in 1997, complete the inventory of this second series of collectible Disney minifigs. The two minifigs are very successful even if the only slightly silly look of Hades would have in my opinion gained from being a little more threatening.

Hercules is magnificent with his outfit faithful to the one seen in the animated film, his superb shield with impeccable pad printing and his blue cape with rounded edges.

I am less convinced by Hades, more precisely by the pad printing of the minifigure. The face is nicely executed but a little too comical for my taste and the junction between the gray torso and the black plinth of the figure is far from convincing with a blank stripe which visually detracts from the continuity of the outfit's pattern. More serious, the base is not wide enough to be perfectly aligned with the lower torso whose ends protrude ...

The base of the figurine, a unique piece, can be plugged into a plate or a classic piece thanks to the spaces left to slide the tenons. The blue flames that make up the character's hair are not removable and logically prevent having an alternative facial expression.

In a box of 60 sachets: 3 copies of Hercules and 4 copies of Hades.

Here's what I could tell you about these eight new minifigs from the second series of Disney characters to collect.

Overall, for this series, the results are very positive. The different characters will seduce several generations of fans of the different Disney universes and in the same series, there is something for the whole family. Like the previous one, this series of minifigs will sell without difficulty and fans are already waiting to know which characters will make up the next wave of minifigs ...

3.99 € per sachet, it is however a little too expensive for my taste and it seems to me more judicious to invest in a box of 60 sachets and to resell or share the second complete set supplied and the 24 additional sachets. By buying a box, Picsou, Riri, Fifi and Loulou come back to 12 € instead of 16 €. It's always taken ...

Note: During this second part of the test, a complete set of 18 characters (provided by LEGO) is brought into play. To participate in the raffle, simply post a comment on this article before April 13, 2019 at 23:59 p.m.. You have every right to disagree with me, this is not eliminatory.
