Lego Minifigure Series 16 is at Toys R Us!
About a week ago, I went into Toys R Us, and the first thing I saw caught my eye. The bright yellow Lego Minifigure Series 16 boxes were sitting on a shelf in the front of the Lego aisle!
I ran over with my mom, my brother running back to get a basket. My family and I are quite good at feeling the packages to figure out which minifigure is in which. After about an hour of feeling, we had found (hopefully) all of the minifigs, and went to check out. Then the second we got in our car, we tore open the packages to find that we did indeed end up with all of the minifigs.
Here are some tips we have discovered about feeling for the Series 16 Lego Minifigures:
Ice Queen: She is easier to guess because she is the only minifig in the series that has a sloped skirt.
Bandit (with turban): The turban is and okay piece to search for, but also go for the sword and the piece for the hilt.
Cyborg Woman: Looking for the smaller pieces is easier, so go for the orange stud on the end of her blaster. You can also look for the chest plate.
Halloween Costume Kid (in devil costume): Look for the trident, the jack-o-lantern bucket, and the short legs. There are only two minifigs in the series with short legs (this one and the Penguin Suit Guy), so if you have found short legs, there's a good chance you have found this minifig.
Goth Boy: Look for the spider and the book; they are distinctly different shapes from anything else in this series.
Explorer: Look for the 2x2 and 1x1 tiles. The only other minifig with a 2x2 tile piece is the Pirate, but he is easy to decipher from the Explorer because he has a sword. The Explorer also has a backpack that can help you figure how who he is.
Explorer with Penguin: Look for the camera. As I said before, it is easy to figure out the character based on small pieces, such as the camera. The camera has a small handle that will let you know what it is. The penguin itself is also okay to look for.
Boxing Girl: This minifig was the hardest for me to figure out because she is fairly simple. After opening her, I found out that she has both a HELMET, and HAIR. This minifig also comes with a black round piece. It's kind of hard to explain, but basically it is shaped like a cylinder and the hair and/or hat fits on it while the minifig is wearing the other. That is a good piece to look for, although, I originally planned on buying an extra babysitter, but I mistook that piece for the baby's bottle.
Pirate: As I said before, look for the 2x2 tile, and the sword.
Penguin Suit Guy: Look for the short legs, like for the Halloween Costume Kid, and the Penguin Suit Guy's ice skates.
Hooded Archer: Look for the bow and arrow, and the
Dog Show Guy: For this one, you can look for the dog, but I found it easiest to look for the trophy. It has a handle on either side, and open mouth, and a base similar to a tall Lego glass, making it easy to feel.
Mariachi Band Guy: Look for his sombrero and his guitar.
Agent: The rope he is holding is the most obvious giveaway, but his spy glasses and his gun are also easy to feel for.
Banana Suit Guy: Look for the - you guessed it- the banana. It is huge, and if you are holding a package with the Banana Suit Guy in it, trust me, you'll know. ;)
Babysitter: Look for the baby bottle, the baby's head, and the baby's body. They are the three smallest pieces that you will find it that bag, so look for them if you are searching for the Babysitter minifig. I personally think that the bottle is easiest to feel for, but as I said above, in looking for my second Babysitter minifig, I mistook a round black piece for the bottle and ended up with a second Boxer Girl.
Okay, so this is the end of my guide to the Lego Minifigure Series 16! Comment below or on Instagram if you find this amazing set of minifigs, and who your favorite is! (Mine is definitely the Babysitter!)
Bye guys!
