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.
The parts assortment are average with the inclusion of the common cutlass and a newly designed of the 2x2 printed map tile featuring the treasure location. The minifigure design is pretty accurate and I am fond of the baldy look.
I ordered specifically the pirate mini-figure for my nephew who loves pirates and LEGOs. However, when the package was opened, we found a female boxer mini-figure instead. I ordered this with the intent to get exactly the model that was pictured and not a mystery chance bag. The description even says: "Package opened to verify character's identity, then resealed in clear poly-bag." This is saying the figure pictured is the figure you should get and I did not get that.
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.
LEGO have come a really long way since their first iteration of the Pirate minifig.
The Scallywag Pirate is a decent figure I guess, but a weaker one. I think it's likely because I'm not a huge fan of pirates, and this isn't anything special amongst Series 16.
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.
In the end, this makes for a nice series of minifigures to collect. Although there are a few generic characters, they have enough interesting parts to make them interesting.
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)!
