The Brick Fan

Recommendation: meh 4.5 / 5 by Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Overall, the Series 12 LEGO Collectible Minifigures looks like to be another hit. It adds some more variety to existing minifigures and most if not all of them can appeal with everyone. Many of the minifigures are very suitable for army builders like the Hun Warrior and the Battle Goddess.

Recommendation: no 2 / 5 by Jay

The Prospector isn't shabbily designed but he's just quite a boring character – I guess you have to allow for one or two in each Series.

We've got another miner, but this time he fits with the Western theme. I can imagine him digging for gold or silver in California or Alaska, and cracking a grin when he strikes it rich! His clothes appear rather tattered and worn, including a patch printed onto his hat. He comes with a silver short beard, which first appeared with the LEGO Movie fig Wiley Fusebot; it's not my favorite beard element, but it does provide a new shape for customizers to play with. His hat is a new mold, I believe, complete with a cut brim and the aforementioned printed patch. He also wields an old fashion pickaxe, to be used for chopping away at the earth to get to his gold. It's a very stereotypical miner look, but that doesn't mean the Prospector can't pull it off.
