LEGO 71025 Minifigures Series 19

Product Information

Here’s the box breakdown of Series 19. Reports are a little hazy, but apparently, the distribution can be a little unreliable as there have been reports of people not getting 3 complete sets in boxes. That said, I really like the Gardener – she has a lot of personality, and more “older” characters are always welcome, and the flamingo is a great new addition. Her golden face is typical of Egyptian mummification customs where a golden face would be painted on the sarcophagus to preserve the mummy’s look in the afterlife.

One of the highlights of Series 19 is that it’s the first ever Collectible LEGO Minifigures Series with equal representation between male and female minifigs. Even though we’re all in awe by the LEGO poop element, I have to say that the two dogs included are really neat. Unmasked, the Fright Knight has a ghastly pale blue face, a large sinister smile and bright white eyes. Don’t know about you, but I get serious White Walker vibes from him. Oh, and in the photo above, you can also see the Dog Sitter’s alternate face, with a slightly disgusted and less than pleased look.If they had added in a new Dalmatian, or cool new hose accessory, I could be convinced otherwise, but the Fire Fighter is the de facto dud of Series 19. Any time a new Animal Costume Minifigure is introduced is an occasion to celebrate. Here’s a shot of all Animal Costume Minifigures as of 2019, bringing the total up to 18 different animal characters. The little programmable robot dog included is a cute little touch that makes the programmer seem more STEM-teacher than Computer Engineer. How To Find One: The Mountain Biker is the character to find, the mountain bike frame is large and has distinct shape, making it super easy to feel for. It feels like the most out-of-place accessory in this, so if you come across a large object, chances are its the frame. LEGO have done a remarkable job again with LEGO Series 19, and this is an easy Top 3 or Top 5 series for me personally.

I love the diversity with this series, and it’s a much more playful series with some of the funnest characters such as the Dog Sitter, Pizza Costume Guy, and Care Bear.Personally, I really like his bright green hairpiece with the gaming headset attached, as well as his shirt which has the logos of some of my favourite vintage themes. Last but certainly not least is the Fox Costume Girl, the newest entrant into the Animal Costume Minifigures sub-group. Oh, and he also comes with a LEGO magnifying glass. I always enjoy getting this accessory, and have always been fascinated by it as a kid, as it’s an actual working magnifying glass.

There’s nothing I love more than numbered Minifigures series, which is why I’ve been waiting all year to get my hands on and review the highly anticipated LEGO Minifigures Series 19. The Rugby Player’s uniform has a large green section on the upper chest, and he also comes with a matching dark green rugby helmet.Licensing is tough and expensive, so this is LEGO’s sneaky workaround to “paying homage” to the Care Bears, and as a pop culture fan, I really like what they did with Bear Costume Guy.

All up, I’m really happy with this series. Despite a few misses like the Programmer and Fire Fighter, I really enjoyed just how much fun the designers seem to be having with the characters and elements introduced. I love the printing on the Ant-Man helmet, which conceals the Bounty Hunter’s identity, and the heavily sci-fi motif across its body. What was most surprising to me is that the flamingo is made both from hard and rubbery plastic – the body and legs are rigid, whereas the head is soft and rubbery. I love how futuristic, cool and menacing he looks, and I imagine his character design drew inspiration from Tron’s Rinzler and a bit of Judge Dredd.The printing on the mountain biker is one of the most detailed in this series, with a colourful coral lycra top, and blue pants. I love the new white laptop included with the programmer – it’s a fresh new colour and is very Apple-like, even if Apple hasn’t released an all-white Macbook in years. Who (or more precisely, what) lies under the mask? We get a pale blue-faced alien with red eyes, and some skin peeking out from within the suit. The Dog Sitter is dressed for dirty business, with denim overalls, a hat with a paw print on it, and a bright green shovel to clean up after her two dogs – a French Bulldog and an utterly adorable Dachshund. There’s now a pretty large sub-group of Egyptian-themed minifigures, and yes, I also realised that I had forgotten to include the Egyptian Warrior in this.
