Babysitter

I like this figure! The Babysitter is a little plain but is nonetheless useful and fits into a LEGO City setup. However, the inclusion of the baby figure really helps this CMF and bumps it up to a higher rating! more less

The mystery of opening each bag to see which new minifigure you're getting really ups the collectability factor of these LEGO minifigures. Kids will have fun trading each other for the figures they want and adding these cool and sometimes kooky characters to their LEGO sets. These minifigures have lots of fun details and accessories that make them great for keeping on display if you are a LEGO collector but they are also going to be lots of fun for kids to play with. Each one of these minifigures has a rich backstory just waiting for imaginative kids to tell it. more less

The parts assortment are excellent. I love the new baby boy design and it's a huge improvement from the Series 12 - Tribal Woman. I am amazed with the baby boy headpiece being able to pull out like any other regular minifigure and I got to admit it is very adorable. more less

LEGO continues to crank out some amazing minifigures for the Collectible Minifigures theme and Series 16 isn't an exception. There are a number of minifigures that really catch my eye like the Mariachi, Rogue, and Hiker. Of course, who doesn't like the costumed characters like the Banana Guy, Penguin Boy, and the Cute Little Devil. There are also some fairly bland characters for me like the Scallywag Pirate, and the Desert Warrior but they do make good army builders. more less

Overall, I really like the Babysitter, mostly because of the Baby minifigure. Mini-minifigure? Thankfully, the Babysitter herself doesn't disappoint thanks to a very cute torso and a great new hairpiece that will be great for minifig customisers. more less

After a streak of awesome Series 16 Minifigures, I opened this packet and was a little let down. This week, I got the babysitter. This is by no means a bad Minifig, but it is not a great one either. I would say that she is pretty average. Her hair is a re-colour of Harley Quinn's from Batman: Gotham City Cycle Chase, which is actually nice to have. I also really like her t-shirt. Since she is supposed to be babysitting, she comes with a LEGO baby, which is a repaint of the one from Fun in the Park – City People Pack. It is also nice to have a second of those. The other accessory included in the mystery pouch is a baby bottle. more less

Each of the 16 figures is unique, and like previous non-licensed series, the minifigs are from themes as disparate as babysitters to pirates. The color for Series 16 is yellow, and the vibrant banana-suit guy seems to be the mascot for this series. more less

For me, the stand out figures include the Hiker, the Wildlife Photographer, the Penguin kid, the Rogue, the Banana Guy, and yes, the Babysitter. Honestly, there aren't many figures that I don't like this time around - perhaps the spy, spooky guy, and the cyborg are the only weak links to an otherwise solid line-up. I don't think this is the best minifigure series ever - but it certainly is solid from top to bottom (which is great for someone who feels the need to collect every figure whether I like them or not)! more less
