71038: Disney 100 Minifigures Revealed

After a few weeks of leaks and speculation, the LEGO Group have revealed to next Disney Collectable minifigure range 71038 . They go on sale on April 1st 2023. The set will still have bags, making feeling for contents possible, but I won’t think we should take that for granted going forward, with boxes scheduled to appear for CMF later in the year.

There are 18 to collect, due for a May 1 release at a RRP of in May 2023 priced at €3.99 /USD $4.99/5.99 CAD/3.49 GBP/AUD5.99.

We have some figures that previously have only existed as minidolls, some who are brand new, and a couple where you can only wonder why they took so long!

Let’s take a look at them after the break:

Collectable Minifigures: We’re not (just) from China Anymore. [Review 71024 Disney Series 2]

In which I look at the new Disney Collectable Minifigures, and come to the realisation that unlike previous series, this one (and the LEGO® Movie 2 minifigures immediately before it) was not produced solely in the Chinese LEGO® factory. How many figures does it effect? What is the deal with the inner bags? And finally, how many of the TLM2 figures were sourced from Europe? Curious? Read on…

LET ME TELL YOU A STORY. Last week, I teased my 71024 Series 2 Disney Minifigures Review. But there was something I had to go back and look at. Then I realised there was something else I had to go back and look at somewhere else. Now I have…

Disney Series 2 LEGO® Collectible Minifigures 71024 Announced

Overnight, the next series of Collectible Minifigures was announced via the LEGO Social Media Channels. They must have Disney on their mind at the moment, as this comes hot on the heels of the announcement of the Steamboat Willie Ideas set.

Unlike that monochrome set, this one is bright and colourful, and some might suggest more reasonably priced. There are eighteen figures in this new set, from eight different Disney Licences.

Disney Collectable Minifigures: In order of Appearance

 

Blink and You Will Miss ThemIMG_9422

The latest range of LEGO Collectable Minifigures (CMFs) hit the shelves last weekend around the world. People have been honing their packet feeling skills and doing their best to get a full set before the box runs out of Mickey Mouse and Buzz Lightyear. And they are vanishing fast.

Unlike previous sets of CMFs, there are 18 rather than 16 different figures to collect. Each box of 60 contains 3 full sets with 6 ‘extras’.  There is a good mix of classic and modern characters, Pixar and Disney, hero(ine) and villain.  But there are plainly of gaps in the collection. Enough to say ‘here are my favorites for series 2’… So we can only hope that this may be an actual thing, rather than just a fantastical imagining…

Plenty of sites are offering reviews of all the CMFs – I have decided to present them in chronological order of their first appearance: Continue reading
