lego minifigures series 13

When the last series of Lego Minifigures was due to be announced I spent more time than I care to think about doing searches and cobbling together what information I could first on the list of characters and then in a valiant attempt to find a full image of the set.

This morning over breakfast I was flicking through my Twitter feed, and there was a tweet from Lego with the full cast of Series 13.

And what a cast it is...

• Carpenter
• Fencer
• Lady Cyclops
• Palaeontologist
• Galaxy Trooper
• Disco Diva
• Evil Wizard
• Sheriff
• Alien Trooper
• Samurai
• Snake Charmer
• King
• Unicorn Girl
• Goblin
• Hot Dog Man
• Egyptian Warrior

This time around it's all about the front row for me... specifically the king, the snake charmer and his little snake... and who the hell doesn't like the Unicorn Girl and her little unicorn hat. Also the female samurai, the goblin and the Hot Dog Man... I'll be interested to know if he has some sort of uniform on under the suit, or if he's just wearing blue pants and a blank beige top. He's probably the one who'll be joining my Desk Army at work.

I also really like the Palaeontologist, and I'm curious about whether the fencer is a man or a woman... I'm thinking woman, but either is good. I'm also surprised it took them this long to do a sheriff.

I'm also betting that the Alien Trooper head will look interesting separated from the body... and I can also see MOC builders using it as maybe an octopus.

The two I'm highly ambivalent about, to the point of dislike, are the "Disco Diva" and the female repaint of the Cyclops. It's possibly the hair on the diva... and making the cyclops grey with giant pink pornstar lips and blue eyeshadow is perhaps a bit too far.

But I only need to wait until January (well, more likely February here in Australia) to see them in the flesh.

Update: As always, here's the full breakdown of the minifigs from Whitefang over at the Eurobricks Forum.
