Series 24 of LEGO’s Collectible Minifigures is the best we’ve seen in a long time – twelve brilliant minifigures that sparkle with personality and pay homage to LEGO long and diverse history.
Some of these minifigures are straightforward, others contain references to LEGO themes both old and new. Let’s take a quick look at some of the coolest Easter Eggs within this range.
First up, Black Falcon. The insignia on this falconer’s shirt identifies her as a member of the Black Falcons, a faction within the LEGO Castle range that dates back to 1984 and the release of 6073 Knights’ Castle and 6030 Catapult.
1984’s Castle sets also saw the debut of the iconic original LEGO horse design, and hey, wouldn’t you know it, there’s a reference to this design within Collectible Minifigures Series 24 in the form of this little girl’s toy rocking horse.
The Black Falcons have turned up periodically over the years, most recently in 31120 Medieval Castle in 2021, but this faction was missing from the larger 10305 Lion Knights’ Castle from earlier this year. The Black Falcon shield can also be found on the LEGO VIP Weekend Dragon Adventure Ride reward build.
The Black Falcon minifigure comes with a new element this beautiful falcon with open wings, a similar pose to the open-winged owls that have featured heavily in Harry Potter sets.
Speaking of the Castle theme, this tremendous World of Warcraft-looking Orc also displays a prominent faction from the theme’s history. This insignia has previously been worn by Troll Warriors in various forms, first debuting in 2008 and appearing in several forms since. None of the previous Troll Warriors had quite such a magnificent chin as this new guy.
Next up, a more modern theme. This very Australian-looking minifigure, who comes with a cute little koala, is wearing a hat with a logo we’ve seen before.
This is the logo used for the Wildlife Rescue, a subtheme within LEGO City that started in 2021, and which has been notable for introducing a bunch of new LEGO animal elements. This koala is a nice addition to this, even if a crocodile might have been more fitting given the fact that, let’s be honest, this guy it clearly inspired by Steve Irwin.
The next potential reference is perhaps a little more tenuous, but this delightful carrot could well be a reference to another City wave: the farm sets which released in the summer of 2022. Two of these sets feature giant carrots, and 60347 City Grocery Store (which may or may not be an ASDA, depending on where you buy it) brings back a previous Collectible Minifigure element by resurrecting the pea pod from Series 20.
Indeed, giant veggies are a common occurrence in minifigure blind bags – we’ve also previous had corn on the cob and a red hot chili pepper. Erm, not that one.
One timely reference: this referee is just in time for the World Cup, in case you didn’t know, that’s happening right now. She’s also here at the right time to get involved with 21337 Table Football, but her yellow skin does mean she doesn’t quite fit in with a set that has instead opted for realistic skin tones.
Now, let’s rattle through a few of these a little more quickly.
This mech looks like a Gundam. This paperboy is a reference to an old-fashioned media format called “newspapers” which you might not have heard of.
As an reference to days gone by, it’s fitting that his newspaper, which doesn’t contain any actual text beyond the word ‘EXTRA’, shows a picture of the very first minifigure, a police officer included in the 1978 set LEGO 600 Police Car.
This freckly potter lady has her hair in a gorgeous printed wrap, this guy’s a dinosaur (rawr). This woman, who appears to be a French Courtesan in an enormous dress and a powdered wig, has a neat bit of attention to detail: just like actual nobility during the French revolution…her head can be detached from her body.
What? Too soon?
Finally, let’s get to the minifigure that has the most obvious reference to LEGO’s past – and, to be clear, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with shameless fanservice. We’ve had LEGO astronauts in all the colours of the rainbow up to this point, but until now, we’ve never had one the colour of poo. Brilliant.
Or, okay, maybe we can pretend this minifgure has just been dipped in chocolate. There’s a certain Malteaser quality to the way the light bounces off that rich brown helmet.
Note the minifigure’s traditional minimalist face design – an essential requirement for a LEGO space person. And, of course, there’s a little teeny tiny baby astronaut too! D’awwwwww!
