A Guide To The LEGO® Minifigures Series
What are LEGO® minifigures? They’re small, full of personality, and have become one of the most beloved parts of LEGO® play.
Whether you're a long-time builder or just getting into the scene, a LEGO® minifigure is a must-have.
So, what are LEGO® minifigures?
LEGO® minifigures are tiny, poseable characters that add story and character to your builds. Introduced in 1978, they’ve evolved into an entire universe of collectable figures, from everyday city dwellers to superheroes, movie icons, and even one-of-a-kind exclusives.
Each figure typically includes movable arms and legs, a printed face, and custom accessories or headgear, making them perfect for play, storytelling, or display. You’ll find them scattered across major sets like LEGO® Avengers, LEGO® NINJAGO, and many more.
What makes LEGO® minifigures so memorable?
Several things. First, the designs are incredibly detailed, often featuring unique prints and accessories not found anywhere else. Some minifigures are only available in limited sets or through blind bags like those in the LEGO® Minifigures Series, which keeps collectors coming back for more.
LEGO® would also release themed minifigures from fan-favourite universes such as Star Wars and Marvel, where you can find characters like Yoda, Loki, Wanda, and Captain America, and more.
Some fans collect complete sets, others hunt for rare figures, and many simply enjoy building stories around them.
What is the most expensive LEGO® minifigure ever?
The most expensive LEGO® minifigures are ultra-rare releases or promotional exclusives. Notable examples include:
-
Solid Gold C-3PO – Made from 14k gold and given away during a 2007 contest. Only 5 were ever made.
-
Mr. Gold – From Series 10, this sparkling figure was limited to just 5,000 pieces worldwide.
-
San Diego Comic-Con exclusives – Such as the black-suited Spider-Man or a uniquely printed Boba Fett, only given to event attendees.
These rare pieces can fetch thousands of dollars in the resale market, depending on condition and rarity.
