Space Fan

Series 20 is a return to form for the Collectible Minifigure Series, with many a minifigure offering broad appeal, genuine novelty and fun design. The LEGO Group continues to veer into derivative territory, but not at the expense of the overall collection available here, nor to the detriment of the particular minifigures clearly inspired by material elsewhere. A strong series with little else to criticise, this will be a classic in future years. more less

References to Classic Space are invariably appreciated and the Space Fan impresses in this regard, sporting a shirt that displays 918 One Man Space Ship from 1979! The design is relatively simple but includes sufficient detail and the dark bluish grey sleeves present a nice contrast. Furthermore, I love the patches decorating her legs, although the heart appears somewhat out of place. more less

At $4.99 a pop, it's hard to get too excited about any of them. It's one thing to swallow the higher price for a solo figure when they're licensed Disney or Harry Potter characters, but paying $5 per figure for a blind pack of an unlicensed minifigure seems excessive (many of which have only a single accessory). Even if you get no duplicates (which will mean feeling the bags or splitting a case with a few friends) you'll need to shill out $80 to get the full set. My recommendation? Wait until these inevitably go on clearance. more less
