About this deal

The Fright Knight, as his name suggests is a spectral ghost knight, and I love spooky elements such as his trans-blue broadsword and plume on his helmet. I also really like the cape, which has two long strands, and due to the properties of fabric, it makes Monkey King look so much more dynamic, almost like the wind is billowing. 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. LEGO really didn’t need to do this as it’ll be concealed most of the time, but I love that they did as it looks so much more complete.

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. Series 19 officially became available on 1 September 2019, and I received a box from LEGO to review, which I couldn’t wait to get into. I love that LEGO also included a zombie alternate face for the Mummy Queen, enabling you to switch to a reanimated version if you’d like to. I appreciate the Built or Broken line on the poster – if anyone in Billund is reading this, please extend my compliments to the copywriter. I love how much personality the Gardener exudes – she doesn’t let her age prevent her from having a good time, with her purple floral top, and bright blue leopard-print pants.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. One thing I love most about the core numbered minifigures series is that the designers get to let loose and come up with fun characters that don’t quite fit into regular sets. 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. 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. 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.

Fire Fighters are ubiquitous in LEGO City, and the LEGO Minifigures Series has always been an outlet for LEGO to release unique character that they’d otherwise struggle to include in core retail sets. 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.

The Pizza Guy minifigure cleverly repurposes the wedge piece from Watermelon Guy from The Movie Series 2 series, with highly detailed printing across it. Firstly, I love the symbolic gesture of 50-50 male/female representation with Series 19. The Fright Knight and Galactic Bounty Hunter are genderless to me, although if you wanted to be super specific, I would consider the Galactic Bounty Hunter having rather feminine features. 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.

The fast-growing food costume minifigures sub-group gains a cheesy friend in the form of Pizza Costume Guy.When photos of Series 19 surfaced, I was most surprised by the Mountain Biker, mostly because I never expected LEGO to throw in an entire bike into a Collectible Minifigures blind bag. 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.

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.The Video Game Champ comes with a great new accessory, a console controller that’s loosely modelled after an Xbox controller.
