Kickboxer

This is another great Minifig for the series. She comes with a double-sided face, front and back print on both the torso and legs, and kickboxing headgear that can be worn in place of her hairpiece. She does not come with regular Minifigure hands, instead she has boxing gloves. 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 slightly above average. I am very pleased that it include the boxing headgear with the 1x1 round cone to hold it upfront. I am also pleased to note her original hairpiece in this design. She came with boxing gloves, similar to other boxers in the LEGO CMFs. 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

I do feel that LEGO wasted a huge opportunity to give us a Blue Boxer, so that Series 5's Boxer has someone to spar against. Given that the Team GB Boxer is so incredibly rare and pricey on the secondary market, LEGO could've used the Kickboxer to make a Boxer from the blue corner a lot more accessible. more less

Arguably, the Kickboxer is one of the less interesting minifigures in Series 16. In a mediocre CMF series this would likely be around average, but the quality of Series 16 is rather high so this ranks lower amongst them. I like the dual-molded legs and her boxer gloves. 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
