Fairytale Princess

Overall, the Series 12 LEGO Collectible Minifigures looks like to be another hit. It adds some more variety to existing minifigures and most if not all of them can appeal with everyone. Many of the minifigures are very suitable for army builders like the Hun Warrior and the Battle Goddess. more less

The painting on the hennin is a little sloppy, especially the white bits where you can see that it bleeds into the purple areas. It's a minor irritant, but it does raise concerns that LEGO's standards are slipping – especially since the Collectible Minifigures are notorious for inconsistent quality (don't get me started on the legs) due to them being manufactured in China. Despite the tiny flaw, the Fairytale Princess is still a remarkable minifig and can be considered as the next evolution in female Castle minifigures. more less

LEGO has had its share of princesses in the Castle line, as well as a bunch of classic Disney Princesses in their own line. This Fairytale Princess feels like a mix of both styles; a standard fig who wouldn't look out of place in a Disney animation. Her lavender color scheme works quite well, and she has a conical hat complete with a dark orange ponytail, which is a new mold. Her head also as two prints on it, and is the only one in this series to have that distinction. One side has a smiling face, while the other side shows her with her lips perked and eyes closed, ready for a kiss. And what better way to complete the princess cliché than to give her a frog to smooch? more less
