Recommendation: meh 4.7 / 5 from 28 reviews

This Viking woman is great for a Viking diorama, but can fit in equally well in an Operatic setting if you remove the shield and sword. The helmet is of a new mold with the hair attached to it. To further distinguish her as a Viking royal or a female in general they have included the dress base piece instead of legs. This is a common practice and I rather like it. The only downside is it makes all of the females in dresses taller than the men counterparts. Maybe they are wearing heels under all of their dresses? Either way, she is a beautiful figure. My daughter really seemed to like her. I'd highly recommend picking one up.

Recommendation: meh 8.8 / 10 by WhiteFang

The LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series 7 has totally surpassed my expectations. I am extremely pleased to note that the Series 7 had done even better than I thought it will be, especially after I had physically fixed all of the minifigures together and during this period, we did not receive any other official or additional published images apart from the only single group picture which we had been seeing all this while since the leak, which I can definitely guarantee it is a form of misconception.

TWO athlete minifigs in a single series? We haven't been this lucky since (the largely forgettable) Series 2! And what a unique choice, to give us a Swimmer! She has a 2-sided head, one with goggles (!!) printed on and the other without, showing her triumphant lok as she's awarded with a gold medal! Seriously, the medal is one of the cooler new accessories that Lego has come up with. It fits around the minifig neck, the same way a cape does and is also made out of spongy rubbery Lego material.

Personally, I'm most impressed by the Galaxy Patrol and least impressed by the Jungle Boy.
