The LEGO CMFs Series 19 is a nice traditional CMFs design and it is nice to see a change of pace. Seeing this brand new 16 designs of Series 19, there are 11 City related minifigures including costume fellows, 4 historical/fantasy/mythical minifigures and 1 sci-fiction minifigure. As you can see, this new Series 19 is a city-focused theme. While I am slightly disappointed that minifigures had largely restricted on City landscape, but the new additional designs and new molds are welcoming additions to our ever-growing LEGO collection.
Johnny Thunder and the Adventurers theme might be ancient history, but I really love the use of a Series 19 slot to give us an updated Johnny Thunder for 2019. Like the Fright Knight, and to a lesser extent Galactic Bounty Hunter, I'm really loving this trend of homages and callbacks to some of LEGO's most beloved vintage themes.
Overall the Series 19 LEGO Collectible Minifigures (71025) is another wave that proves why this theme is a successful one year in and year out.
It's good to get another regular, non-themed series of Collectible Minifigures again, spreading across all walks of life. Not every figure in Series 19 is a sure-fire winner in my book (if I weren't reviewing it, I'd never go out of my way to pick up the Firefighter, Bear Costume Guy, or Rugby Player, for instance), but the majority of the characters are figures I want in my collection, some of them multiple times over.
I found the overall tone for the series less coherent than for previous series. I feel every figure is pretty good, and some are downright excellent. The theme or category for the figures is consistent with previous themes. But the accessories are inconsistent.
The courageous Jungle Explorer, on the other hand, is among my favourite minifigures from this whole series. His appearance was undoubtedly modeled upon Johnny Thunder from the celebrated Adventurers theme, hence this character features an elegant moustache beside streaked sideburns which appear consistent with the famed hero. The reddish brown hat is slightly different but this part looks great.
I really like all the new elements especially the animals like the flamingo and cameleon. Which is why these original IP series are good, they can be a little more creative without being tied to a license.
