Minifigures (theme)

Minifigures

Years:	2010–present

Minifigures, more commonly referred to as Collectable Minifigures, is a theme introduced in May 2010. Each regular series consists of sixteen minifigures, which come inside an opaque polybag, with a new series being released every three or four months. As of January 2017, sixteen original series and seven special series have been released, as well as other related sets and accessories.

Description[edit]

The Minifigures theme was introduced in May 2010. The first set was glimpsed in the April 2010 LEGO Club Magazine on a poster. Each regular series contains sixteen minifigures drawn from a wide range of different settings: movies, sports, history, everyday life and almost any other source imaginable. They are intended to be collected and traded, and designed so that interesting new minifigures could be acquired without purchasing a whole new set.

A LEGO Club booklet about Series 1

Every minifigure features high detail, often purpose-made, accessories and a black display base. The first two series included spare accessories, a practice since discontinued. Accessories introduced in the theme have since been used in other themes and sets.

The minifigures are sold in individual opaque polybags, meant to prevent buyers from identifying the contents. However, barcodes on the backs of the polybags of Series 1 and 2 could be used to identify the respective minifigure, and in response, subsequent series use a "bump code" along the bottom of a package instead. These bump codes are designed to be much more difficult to distinguish. Each polybag contains 5-11 elements including a minifigure, accessories, a display base, and an instruction/checklist booklet. Each series is only available for a limited time, which is often three to four months before the next series is released and replaces its predecessor.
