LEGO Minifigures Series 13 71008 Fully Revealed & Photos!

Posted on by

‘Twas the night before Thanksgiving (at least for us North American folks), and I expected things to be pretty quiet on the LEGO news front. But it seems that LEGO had other ideas! Or at least, LEGO Germany did! Because earlier today, the German LEGO website temporarily uploaded images from the first LEGO 2015 catalog–including the first gorgeous, hi-res photo of LEGO Minifigures Series 13 71008! The characters in the set are exactly what we expected, but knowing their names and seeing their glory are two different things…

LEGO Minifigures Series 13 71008 Complete Set PosterThe complete lineup for LEGO Minifigures Series 13, as leaked, turns out to be 100% correct:

  • LEGO Carpenter Minifigure
  • LEGO Hot Dog Vendor Minifigure
  • LEGO Egyptian Warrior Minifigure
  • LEGO Evil Sorcerer Minifigure

The LEGO Hot Dog Guy minifigure and Evil Sorcerer minifigure are easily my favorite figures in this set. I’m a vegetarian, but even I can’t resist the cheesy allure of a grown man dressed up as a hot dog! And the Evil Sorcerer gives me the vibes of the Emperor from Flash Gordon or the classic version of the Mandarin from the Iron Man comics. Love these guys!

Egyptian Warrior LEGO minifigure is likely to be the most sought-after army-builder figure in this set and also looks great, and the LEGO Carpenter minifigure is nice enough (if a little boring).

71008 LEGO Minifigures Series 13 King Snake Charmer Fencer

  • LEGO Snake Charmer Minifigure
  • LEGO Fencer Minifigure
  • LEGO King Minifigure

We’d seen the Classic King Minifigure and the Snake Charmer figure in photos before, so no surprises with them. The Fencer LEGO minifigure is new, though, and I love his mask! I’ll have to grab a couple of fencers for future custom purposes.

LEGO Series 13 Minifigures Paleontologist Sheriff Unicorn Lady Alien Trooper Female Cyclops

  • LEGO Lady Cyclops Minifigure
  • LEGO Unicorn Girl Minifigure
  • LEGO Alien Trooper Minifigure
  • LEGO Paleontologist Minifigure
  • LEGO Sheriff Minifigure

The girls outnumber the boys in this picture! That doesn’t happen too often with LEGO minifigures! The Paleontologist minifigure and the Unicorn Girl minifigure are the big prizes for me in this grouping (or at least, my wife will love them), and I’m also a fan of the Sheriff minifigure’s moustache and Wanted poster. Lady Cyclops is a bit underwhelming, and the Alien Trooper LEGO minifigure just feels like another Galaxy Squad release.

LEGO Minifigures 2015 Series 13 Disco Diva Imp Samurai Girl Galaxy Trooper

  • LEGO Female Samurai Minifigure
  • LEGO Disco Diva Minifigure
  • LEGO Galaxy Trooper Minifigure
  • LEGO Imp Minifigure

And in this last group, we finally get a female Disco Diva LEGO minifigure, along with a female samurai! That LEGO Samurai woman looks tough as nails–I would not want to mess with her! The Galaxy Trooper is ho-hum for me, but the LEGO Imp looks terrific. I love his evil satchel! (Can a satchel be evil?)

LEGO Minifigures Series 13 71008 Fully Revealed PhotosLEGO has not yet confirmed the exact release date for 71008 LEGO Minifigures Series 13. The set was expected to be released in January 2015, but with the LEGO Simpsons Minifigures Series 2 71009 set not coming until May 2015, LEGO 71008 may not hit stores until February 2015 instead. I’ll post an update here and to the Bricks and Bloks Facebook Page as soon as it’s 100% confirmed exactly when the LEGO Series 13 Minifigures are intended to be released in stores.

Now that you’ve seen them all in beautiful hi-res images, what do you think with the (unlucky?) thirteenth series of LEGO Minifigures 71008, LEGO fans? Is this complete set a must-buy for you, or are you cherry-picking a few of your favorite figures (or none at all)?

LEGO Minifigures Series 13 71008 Fully Revealed & Photos! — 16 Comments

  1. Series 13 really looks neat, a cool bunch of really original figures. The hot dog guy is SUPER.

  2. Too bad I can’t read German. Is it suggesting there also may be a rare mystery figure (like Mr. Gold) also in the series?

  3. The translation is roughly..per online translator. A new series there in May. Let yourself be surprising
    So does not look like a new mystery figure.

  4. The series will be released for January as is stated there in German: “Alles Neu Januar”—”everything new in January”. And as Steve as written the next series has been announced for May along the tagline “let yourself be surprised” (“Eine neue Serie gibt es ab Mai. Lass dich überraschen”)

  5. German native here; the right corner says; “A new series will be released in May. Be suprised.” Obviously, that’s going to be The 2nd Simpsons one.

    As for my favorite figures this series: Evil Wizard, King, Imp and Hot Dog Guy. All in all, I liked the last series (12) more, where I collected all figures. Probably not going to this time, apart from my favorites (and blind takes of course).

  10. Series 12 is still piling up at many stores and only stores that had the discount was able to clear them out. $3.99 is a bad price for minifigures. $2-2.50 was the best price. These minifigures are now made in China they should charge less.

  13. New head on the alien? Last alien minifig reused an “Alien Conquest” head.

    The Paleontologist will go nice with the Ideas scientists set.
