Dobby

Instead of guessing which mystery LEGO pack contains your favorite character, this product takes the guessing out of it. I was able to gift my friend her favorite character for a little more money. It came in those mystery LEGO packs but it was the one we expected. more less

Dobby is a crowd pleaser and I'm pretty happy to be able to own him. He's masterfully designed, and I really like the fact that LEGO went to the trouble of updating his head mould, as opposed to recycling the older one. The printing on his face, as you can see above is remarkable, making Dobby a winner in my book. more less

As I look over all of these fantastic figures, I find myself asking the question “Why is Voldemort, the only character depicted without a nose in the movies, the only figure with nostrils printed on his head?" With only one figure per box, and two characters incorporated in that figure, Percival Graves/ Gellert Grindelwald will be the greatest challenge for serious collectors. You can find two series of the Harry Potter specific figures in every box, but the Fantastic Beasts figures are harder too complete. more less

Dobby first appeared in 4731 Dobby's Release from 2002 and a similar model was produced in 2010, containing an updated version of the loyal house-elf. The new incarnation features less moulded detail than either earlier minifigure, which is somewhat surprising, but the printing represents a considerable improvement. I am particularly glad to see Dobby with a smile in this instance, replacing his previous miserable expressions. more less

Other than the distribution ratio of the minifigures, I'm very satisfied with the variety of characters that we get in this set. Most of them don't appear in the standard system sets so just them being in random packs makes them more sought after. This is the second Collectible Minifigures set that LEGO has released to include a “chase" minifigure and it doesn't look to be stopping anytime soon so we'll just have to get used to seeing more of them in future sets. more less

LEGO has done an excellent job with this series, filling in many gaps and bringing new life to many woefully outdated characters. The multitude of new elements is in keeping with the traditional CMF series, and the detail on the characters is excellent. We didn't notice any of the plastic quality issues that have sometimes plagued CMFs, which is a refreshing turn. more less
