Thanks to The LEGO Group, we’ve been given the opportunity to review the upcoming LEGO Movie 2 Collectable Minifigure series due for official release on February 1, 2019. As well as reviewing, we’re also giving away a full set of the 20 Minifigures. But you’ll have to read all of the review before you get to read about that!

Awesome Remix Emmet

“Yo Emmet! Whatcha listening to?”

The LEGO Movie 2 Minifigure Review: Emmet

Awesome Remix Emmet

“Oh, Everything Is Awesome on your phone!”

The LEGO Movie 2 Minifigure Review: Emmet

Everything Is Awesome!

The trademark little tuft sticking up at the back Emmet’s hair can’t even be contained by his headphones. But hey, when you’ve got ridiculously overpriced coffee and some great tunes playing, who cares!

Apocalypseburg Lucy

There’s something very Rey from The Force Awakens about Lucy’s headgear, which isn’t a bad thing!

The LEGO Movie 2 Minifigure Review: Apocalypseburg Lucy

Apocalypseburg Lucy

Apocalypseburg Benny

It’s no secret that I love the standard grin Minifigure heads. And I love the modern twist on these head prints that LEGO gives us with the Benny Minifigures.

The LEGO Movie 2 Minifigure Review: Apocalypseburg Benny

Apocalypseburg Benny

And there’ll be no mixing up tool chests with Ned Flanders with that Classic Space logo printed on it either!

The LEGO Movie 2 Minifigure Review: Apocalypseburg Benny

Apocalypseburg Benny

But why the robot arm Benny? Will The LEGO Movie 2 leave us wondering like The Force Awakens did about Threepio’s red arm?

Giraffe Suit Guy

Surely this is a nod to Toys R Us? Whatever the reasoning behind this Minifigure, it’s a wonderful addition to the series.

The LEGO Movie 2 Minifigure Review: Giraffe Suit Guy

The plant piece accessory is a great addition too.

Vale Toys R Us.

Crayon Suit Girl

Despite first thinking the Crayon Suit Girl was somewhat lacklustre in the details and printing, I found her a joy to photograph.

The LEGO Movie 2 Minifigure Review: Crayon Suit Girl

Crayon Suit Girl

Like the series 17 Rocket Suit Boy, there’s something wonderful about this shape when it’s in front of the camera.

Sherry Scratching Post & Scarfield

Sherry Scratching Post has dusted off all the cat hair and changed her cat emblazoned top for an Apocalypseburg armoured outfit.

The LEGO Movie 2 Minifigure Review: Sherry Scratching Post & Scarfield

The LEGO Movie 2 Minifigure Review: Sherry Scratching Post & Scarfield

And Scarfield (clever!) with its studded collar, mohawk, Band-Aids, angry expression and bared fangs is one cat I wouldn’t want to tease with a ball of string!

The LEGO Movie 2 Minifigure Review: Scarfield

Scarfield

Watermelon Suit Guy

With a slice of watermelon for the hand, and one for the head, this is another fantastic addition to the other  food costume Minifigures. The subtle shadow printing on the watermelon pips is a nice touch.

The LEGO Movie 2 Minifigure Review: Watermelon Suit Guy

Watermelon Suit Guy

I can’t wait to see what happens when this Minifigure gets together with the Party Banana Suit Guy. What a tropical adventure that will be!

Swamp Monster

The Monster Fighter Swamp Monster gets a makeover, complete with chest tattoo, braces and pants!

Wild West Rex

Rex Dangervest gets a little country with his cowboy hat. Did the Wild West have baby dinosaurs? I guess that’s what made it wild.

The LEGO Movie 2 Minifigure Review: Wild West Rex

Wild West Rex

We’re off to see the Wizard…

Hands down, these four Minifigures were the ones I was most looking forward to.

Dorothy Gale & Toto

Dorothy is movie accurate in her gingham dress and white blouse, blue ribbons in her plaits, and the ruby slippers. I only wish she had a basket for Toto to hide in.

The LEGO Movie 2 Minifigure Review: Dorothy Gale & Toto

Dorothy Gale & Toto

Toto is a reprint of Series 16 Dog Show Winner’s pooch.

Tin man

Growing up, the Tin Man was my favourite character in the Wizard of Oz. He’s my favourite in The LEGO Movie 2 Minifigure series too! His silver colour is a joy to photograph!

The LEGO Movie 2 Minifigure Review: Tin Man

Tin Man

And that heart? Oh my!

The LEGO Movie 2 Minifigure Review: Tin Man

Scarecrow

Certificate of Achievement? Achieving a movie realistic Minifigure no doubt! Scarecrow is another wonderful Minifigure in this series.

The LEGO Movie 2 Minifigure Review: Scarecrow

Scarecrow

Scarecrow’s Certificate of Achievement printed tile has so much potential for whimsical toy photos!

The LEGO Movie 2 Minifigure Review: Scarecrow

Scarecrow

Cowardly Lion

There’s something about the caramel colour of the Cowardly Lion I’m not sure about? I can’t put my finger on it, but maybe it’s that the face seems to blend into all the rest of the same colour?

The LEGO Movie 2 Minifigure Review: Cowardly Lion

Cowardly Lion

His bravery medal however, is wonderful!

The LEGO Movie 2 Minifigure Review: Cowardly Lion

Cowardly Lion

Golfing President Business

I’ve always liked President Business’ head prints. And this one is no exception, with one side looking like a “I just missed a 2-inch putt for birdie” expression, and the other the grin of someone who made the same putt.

DSC0The LEGO Movie 2 Minifigure Review: Golfing President Business

Golfing President Business

However, it is overshadowed by the wonderfully printed golf outfit. I’ve only ever played two holes of golf in my entire life, but if I could’ve a snazzy green argyle knitted vest to go over a white polo shirt, with matching green argyle socks to tuck my beige plaid pants into, I’m sure you would’ve found me out on the golf course more often.

The LEGO Movie 2 Minifigure Review: Golfing President Business

Golfing President Business

The golf club is wonderful new addition to the Minifigure accessory collection. Fore!

We’re getting the back back together…

Forget the Spice Girls (less one) reforming, there’s another quartet of pop girls that you’ll want. You’ll really, really want!

The LEGO Movie 2 Minifigure Review: Pop!

Pop!

Flashback Lucy

Lucy’s flashback must be to the 80s, because her leotard is 80s overload! The gold record for the “Everything Is Awesome” is a great accessory.

The LEGO Movie 2 Minifigure Review: Flashback Lucy

Flashback Lucy

Hula Lula

I do wish there was more hula for Lula, but the new record is a nice addition.

The LEGO Movie 2 Minifigure Review: Hula Lula

Hula Lula

Candy Rapper

Oh, the pun names never fail to make me laugh! And how cool is that tape. Remember tapes kids?

The LEGO Movie 2 Minifigure Review: Candy Rapper

Candy Rapper

Kitty Pop

Again, I assume the name is a reference to K-Pop. If it is, well played LEGO!

The LEGO Movie 2 Minifigure Review: Kitty Pop

Kitty Pop

Apocalypseburg Abe

Abe goes steampunk! There’s a lot to like about this Minifigure, from the detailed torso and leg printing to the addition of goggles to Abe’s stovepipe hat.

The LEGO Movie 2 Minifigure Review: Apocalypseburg Abe

Apocalypseburg Abe

Undoubtedly steampunk enthusiast will be clambering to get this one!

The LEGO Movie 2 Minifigure Review: Apocalypseburg Abe

Unikitty

Unikitty makes a surprising appearance in this series. Didn’t we just see a series of Unikitty?

The LEGO Movie 2 Minifigure Review: Unikitty

Unikitty

But hey, when you’re that cute, who cares about details? And you can never have too many Unikittys!
