LEGO 71025 Minifigures Series 19

Product Information

Here’s the box breakdown of Series 19. Reports are a little hazy, but apparently, the distribution can be a little unreliable as there have been reports of people not getting 3 complete sets in boxes.

LEGO have done a remarkable job again with LEGO Series 19, and this is an easy Top 3 or Top 5 series for me personally. There have been massive initiatives to get more women involved in STEM and computing, and I really like the message that LEGO is trying to send with the Programmer. The Video Game Champ comes with a 2×3 tile, which I guess is meant to represent a video game box of Space Game for the “Play-Box” console. It’s a little big, so maybe its a poster. Featuring 16 all-new characters to collect, and with LEGO Minifigures fans eagerly awaiting this series, and to see if manages to topple Series 18 as my favourite series of all time. The Monkey King has to be one of the most detailed minifigures ever printed – his armour printing on his body, including a jade (?) gem in the middle of his chest, and belt are great touches.

The LEGO Sausage Dog is arguably the cutest LEGO dog ever produced, and I love how well they captured its defining features such as its long droopy ears, pointed muzzle and body shape. My favourite thing about the Fright Knight is his translucent broadsword, which I believe is the first time it’s ever been made in a translucent colour. The Dog Sitter is dressed for dirty business, with denim overalls, a hat with a paw print on it, and a bright green shovel to clean up after her two dogs – a French Bulldog and an utterly adorable Dachshund.

Fire Fighter minifigs have a long and storied history with LEGO, and this is probably one of the most-detailed versions yet – I like the hi-vis vest, and plenty of side leg and arm prints. Here’s a look at the blind bags, featuring Series 19’s Lime Green colour scheme – it’s very very similar to Series 3’s colour theme, but has a bit more of a yellowish tinge to it. Fire Fighters are ubiquitous in LEGO City, and the LEGO Minifigures Series has always been an outlet for LEGO to release unique character that they’d otherwise struggle to include in core retail sets. While space/sci-fi themed bounty hunters aren’t a novel concept, I really like what LEGO did with the Galactic Bounty Hunter with its awesome new helmet, shoulderpads and highly detailed printing across its body.

While I love LEGO, not many things in the world can compare with my love for Pizza, so its an understatement to say this minifigure reigns supreme in this series.

How To Find One: Try feeling for the “book cover” which is slightly smaller than the 2 x 3 tile, and has a rod-like spine. Personally, I’m not a fan and it looks a little garish. We seriously need a purple theme, I wonder why LEGO seems to be recycling colours instead of breaking new ground. The cool thing about the Rugby Player is that he comes with a new Rugby Ball accessory – the design is neat as it has a handle for a minifig to grasp it. Not sure what the Supreme branding is about – maybe someone in the Minifigures design team is a massive hypebeast?

A LEGO Sausage Dog is super cute, and is probably the best LEGO dog breed yet but the thing we’re all here for is a LEGO poop. When photos of Series 19 surfaced, I was most surprised by the Mountain Biker, mostly because I never expected LEGO to throw in an entire bike into a Collectible Minifigures blind bag. The Rugby Player is a fun addition for sports fans. We’ve had quite a few sports-themed characters over the years, including an entire series dedicated to the German Football Team (soccer, for you Americans and Aussies), but this is the first Rugby Player.
