Unicorn Guy

Unfortunately, I think this is a rather boring minifigure overall. Very minimal printing, and no new molds to make him pop. The only thing of note is his accessories, but they're not mind blowing either. more less

For me, my favorites of Series 18 are the Party Clown, Dragon Suit Guy, Birthday Cake Guy, Race Car Guy, and Cowboy Costume Guy. The LEGO Brick Suit costumes are interesting and I do like how they are able to connect to other bricks. more less

With each new series of LEGO Minifigures, the LEGO Design Team seem to outdo themselves and you would expect them to have run out of ideas, but they have come out swinging for the 40th anniversary of the Minifigure. The new elements are great and it will be interesting to see where they appear next. The additional of an orange baseplate is definitely welcomed although it would of been nice to have the LEGO Minifigures 40th anniversary logo printed on it or even included in a tile. Despite a few minor gripes, this series of LEGO Minifigures is a fitting and fun way to celebrate the 40th anniversary and it's always nice to have a non-licensed series after so many recent ones being based on movies. more less

Series 18 isn't the first series to feature costumed characters. That began with Series 3's Gorilla Suit Guy, who is arguably the first “minifigure in a costume." Throughout the CMF's history, the costumed characters have been among the most popular, especially with kids, and this series finally indulges costume fans by putting nearly all of its characters in some sort of suit. In keeping with the festive style, this is also the first regular series to use non-black minifigure stands, featuring orange unprinted stands with all of the characters. more less

I applaud LEGO for making the Unicorn figure a male this time around - and I love the new printed shield piece. Back in my early 90s Castle loving days, I would have been ecstatic to add another different shield to my various armies (I'd probably want four or five copies of this figure for the shield alone back then)! more less

I love many of the accessories and head pieces included with this series, but my favourite would be the tile that comes with the young boy: it is printed with as small a representation as you could come up with to be a representation of the packet that the series one figures appeared in years ago. Also up there would have to be the balloon animals. As for my favourite figures? it is a toss up for me between the cowboy, the dragon and the two figures dressed up as LEGO Bricks! more less

I was somewhat concerned that the blue mane and tail would blend with the medium azure colour of the head, torso and legs. In fact, they are remarkably distinctive and I like the blue highlights on the feet. The winking facial expression is fun too as designs like this one are quite rare but can be very useful for creating some emotion in a display. more less

In our opinion the LEGO Minifigures Series 18 collection is the best that's been released and we're sure many of our readers will agree. With so many unique minifigures and a costume party vibe, they will be fun to play with and display. more less
