Hmm, the Beastmaster is great but I feel like I'm influenced by the accessories he comes with and the Minifigures on its own isn't quite as cool. Gonne have to go with pirate quartermaster with the Christmas tree costume as a close second. Great original designs with lots of charm.
I just can't bring myself to vote for Gingerbread Vader, even though he's really awesome. Wolfpack Beastmaster was my nomination. Zero's great. And I might try to pick up a copy of the 2025 City Advent Calendar just for the tree. I hope the hair from Spider-Punk gets reused plenty now that they have it. We're spoiled for choices.
Please don't vote for a recoloured spaceman
Wow, Poison Ivy didn’t make the list? I think that’s the only one of my nominations that didn’t. Pirate Quartermaster was my runner up, so I’m happy she is here. Otherwise I think there are just too many Star Wars characters with slight improvements, Spider-Man variants, and slightly modified “classic” minifigures here. A Blacktron astronaut with a few logos plastered on his chest and helmet might be a neat variant for fans, but is it really that noteworthy?

Of course not. Blacktron’s at the top of the list.
I saw "Zero" and my Mega Man brain went through the five stages of loss in about two seconds lol. Cool Minifig tho
Never even knew about the updated Blacktron fig. Still giving it to the "recoloured spaceman", though.
The Blacktron astronaut was an easy choice for me.
I was gonna vote Blacktron, but steampunk doesn't gets much love these days, and I really like how well the inventor goes with my H.G. Wells Time Machine MOC... so he gets my vote!
Given how these normally go I’m expecting the teal spaceman to storm to the front. Though it’s got some competition from the Blacktron dude, that might split things up a bit like when the brown spaceman and brown spacebaby duelled each other
classic space fans swarming in to vote for the slightly different colour of spaceman
Where’s Luffy?!?!
Despite having finished building 21358 this morning, my vote goes to Gwen Stacy. If this were a ranked choice poll, the teal spaceman would still be behind the Steampunk Inventor and the Pirate Quartermaster. He'd be ahead of every other Space/Star wars figure, though.

"...steampunk doesn't gets much love these days..."
I would kill (or at least maim) for a steampunk Lego theme. Ninjago's Skybound got close, but dieselpunk isn't quite what I want.
The choice this year seems quite poor.
Among the selection, I prefer wolfpack or pirate quartermaster. Or the steampunk inventor. I voted for the first one.
Clearly I like classic spaceman or blacktron minifig too, but they are nothing really new, so I can't vote them.
The Wolfpack beastmaster is another trauma... and even one I can't blame on TLG...

The issue, according to several LEGO set designers, is kids don't know what steampunk is these days which is why steampunk gets little love. It's rather sad!
It honestly was a toss up between Pirate Quartermaster, Spider-Punk, and Christmas Tree Guy.
The Wolfpack Beastmaster is another one I like, but I feel it's too much of a nostalgia rehash to compete to the other excellent choices. Same goes for the recoloured Space Man and Blacktron guy. And I say this as someone who loves Castle and Classic Space.
Quite a few great figures. I’m still hunting for a City AC to get the Christmas tree kid. There’s just so much to like bout Gingerbread Vader, and he’s a niche figure that is just really cool. General Kenobi was my runner up and he’s just such a perfect figure. I also really like the fresh take on the Blacktron figure. I hope to get that one soon. But, The Wolfpack Beastmaster, even without accessories, is just a perfect figure. Dual-molded arms, dual-molded arms, cloth (and sooo fuzzy!), and a superb head print?! That’s perfect, plus the fact that it’s a flawless rendition of a classic, 30 year old figure? And for $5? It’s just awesome!

I fully agree with this. I am willing to deal a significant amount of damage for a proper Steampunk-line.
I mean, I voted for Blacktron on principle, but still.

They don't need to refer to it as steampunk. Just make cool sets and people will buy them, and those that know will know. The same rationale goes for sets from Gerry Anderson programmes. Those ships had excellent designs, so it's cool ships for the young and nostalgia for the middle aged.
The Pirate Quartermaster is sooo awesome. I added her to the BSB and am looking at her right now in admiration. I nominated the Wolfpack Beastmaster but voted for the Pirate.
I'm a big fan of Steampunk as a creative genre but the thought of a gingerbread Darth Vader is just too great. Such a pity that he's plastic - biting his head off would be just too delicious...
I love the Lama Su and Obi-Wan minifigures, but the new Jango Fett is such a modern upgrade even compared to the 2017 variant
Has to be gingerbread Darth Vader
GHOST!
Oef! Wolfpack, jetpack, spiderpunk, Zerø and Blacktron!
All my nominations are here! This is gonna be a tough one…..
Nostalgia says Blacktron, coolfactor says jetpack and Zerø and the toughest quest to obtain a figure says wolfpack…
…BUT for a combination of cool and most detailed figure ( even an extra head where I can’t decide which one to put on the body, because both of them are awesome ) , I gotta go with Hobie
( also a big nod for Jango, but plain compared to the others and behind a huge pay wall for me )
@ikke said:
"GHOST!"
I ain't afraid of no ghost...
Gotta go with Zero. When I first saw that figure I was blow away by how cool it looked.
Jetpack Racer for me but I do love Wolfpack and Blacktron.

I would like to see a Lego steampunk theme, too. Maybe a licensed theme of Netflix's "Arcane"?
Heh, I made my own list of my favorite figs from the year, and 5 of the 10 I picked from ended up in the poll. :D
Lots of good contenders, but of these I voted for the Steampunk Inventor.
how is this even a question? Hobie Brown's LEGO hair goes absolutely insane
Surprised glinda didn't make the list
Some truly awesome minifigures on the shortlist. It was tough to vote. I went for Zero.
Star Wars had it good this year. Between Obi-Wan, Jango, Lama Su, Gingerbread Vader; a lot of other good ones that didn't make the cut, too (Plo Koon, Babu Frik, etc.). I'm voting for Jango Fett.
Not nearly as keen on the Castle and Space figures as some others, so my vote went to Zero. Steampunk Inventor and Spider-Punk are close behind though.

* I fully support Steampunk theme *
And any true history themes too!
Was hoping lt Worf would make the list of options…
While theres been plenty of these that I've really liked, how can you not like Spider-Punk / Holbie? Arm and Leg printing, duel molding, unique parts including accessories and hair... And he doesn't drop into the typical space/castle blind voting fandom pattern.
I found myself really liking jet pack racer this year, so he gets my vote.
He somehow reminds me of Running Man (the 1987 anime) https://archive.org/details/neo-tokyo-dub_202302 (starting at 11:43). I can't get it out of my head when I look at that cool fig. that's ok, I just need to make him a similar racer...
I own Four of that list and it's a tough one I love the Miguel cmf but also Jango and Gwen also great designs.
Pirate Quartermaster is perfect and well detailed! SHe deserves to be 1 <3
Lama-Su. Star wars aliens are the best. Hobie Brown comes next

Indeed, Brickset has no honor.
Oh, by the way, guys, you've got the wrong Gwen Stacy/Ghost Spider in the picture at the top of the article. Nobody's arguing that https://brickset.com/minifigs/sh1030/ghost-spider-spider-gwen-(gwen-stacy)-black-legs-white-basic-smooth-hood-magenta-hands is the best figure of 2025.
Sorely tempted by the wavy-mouthed ghost but in the end I voted for the teal Classic Spaceman. Oddly, I don’t have either of them (yet).
I do have the Wolfpack beastmaster and it’s not a bad minifigure, but it doesn’t appeal to me that much.
I voted for Blacktron Astronaut.
Because no other fig is as Blacktron as a Blacktron minifig.

Honestly, the Teal Classic Spaceman isn't even my favorite Classic Spaceman in 21358.

I mean... as long as -a- spaceman wins, I'm pretty good.
I think Jack Sparrow would be a good winner, on picture he seems everything a fig would need to be.
My heart goes to the Classic Spaceman of course, with the updated Blacktron guy being a close second.
But this is about the best fig, and from those 16 finalists, to me the technically best fig (in terms of decoration, print quality etc.) is the new Jango Fett, so he gets my vote this time.
Voted for my man Jango, even though I'm actually pretty disappointed with the fact that his arms & legs are still incorrectly sand blue rather than purple. Also he really needs a flight headset print/mould. If they had done that & used the new lavender color, the fig would've been PERFECT. I'm still holding out hope that it'll be fixed in the future.
Would have voted for Beastmaster but it was a scalpers dream come true and i couldnt get it and not paying the stupid ebay prices. Really took the shine off it.
Blacktron gets my vote with jetpack racer a close second.

Gingerbread Darth Vader.

Do Jango, Obi-Wan, and Vader count as spacemen by your lights?

Don't let the reaction to a figure sour you on the figure itself. While it's not my favorite figure in the poll (that would be Spider-Gwen) or in that particular series (that would be Astronomer Kid or Steampunk Inventor), it's still a good figure.
I have (somewhat grouchily) decided it would be petty of me not to vote for Zero just because I think it ought to be One instead, especially given Zero was also on my shortlist, and *especially* given five out of eight of the minifigs on my shortlist were all Dreamzzz and Zero’s the sole representative of a really solid Dreamzzz minifig lineup last year. But on a different day I might easily have voted for the Blacktron, Christmas Tree Kid, Jetpack Racer (Vidyo stealth return!), Lama Su or Spider-Gwen. Or, really, almost any of them: It’s a good shortlist.
Spider-Punk barely edges out Gwen Stacy for me. I love Pirate Quartermaster too--and Gingerbread Darth Vader is so fun! In all, it was a great year for minifigures!

Yeah I am too, but this is one of those cases where even though it’s an inaccurate color it still looks really good lol.

I love it- thanks!
I didn't post nominations but apparently none of my favourites were close to making it in apparently anyway.
I thought about that clown though
I really like the jetpack racer, personally.

I didn't look closely enough and completely forgot about the alt head and the hood. My bad...
Mecha team leader not getting the recognition it deserves :(
Hi all,
Since 4 years I'm creating a micro musuem: a visual evolution of the minifig. So I'm really interested in new aspects in the design of a minifig.
I voted the steampunk inventor, because the details are really well done.
There were some really fun and original 2025 minifigs. I think it is worth to mention them. Of course they are also part of the museum:
- Roronoa Zoro with a 3rd blade
- Mecha Team leader: a super big figure cropped into a micro version of itself
- Peter Parker with May is just really really (really) cute
- Peely: there was already a guy in a banana costume, but Peely is actually a real banana
- One: Dreamzzz theme has some really original nice unique colorfull designed minifigs. I had a hard time to chose which one is nicer: Zero or One?. But I've chose One because of the nummer 81 on the chest (81 is a beautiful year ;) )
- Marge Dursley Inflated: as the name suggests, it's an inflated minifig
- Golden classic spaceman: I collect classic spacemen and space baby's in all colours. However, the minifig design is not special, but the colour gold makes the spaceman a premium collectors item
-Gerrett: Lego actually transformed 'Aquaman' into a pink minifig :D
- B'ball head or Beef Boss? Uhm they are both really funny
- Zeff: does Zeffs beard give him special powers? I dont't know, but Zeffs beard makes a kings beard look childish
- the Joker (sh1022): this is the first Joker version where I think his face looks really scary. This minifig should be 18+
- Morticia Adams: besides that this is a doll and in my opinion not a minifig, this Doll really looks like Morticia from the Wednesday series.
Anything except Spider-Man CMF series gets my vote.

£7–8 on BL or eBay (plus postage). Could be worse. The UK BL prices for Bugs Bunny are terrible (£13 used or £19 new). It’s cheaper from other countries, new on eBay or just buying the figure without the stand and carrot.
I’ve been eyeing the jetpack racer and steampunk inventor because I just bought the wonderful looking Blacktron … Captain/Commander ? and that helmet print is poor - yellow on black often doesn’t work unless the correct quality of medium is applied.
I’m just a little disappointed compared to the picture online.
‘Best minifigure’ has to be represented by the actual product I buy.
Until today I didn't know about Zero and have to say: it's a cool minifig! It reminds me of the Gaming Ninjago characters, who were also really neat.
Zero.

I don't think you actually own that minifigure. Even without wolf that minifig is excellent, printed arm, legs, torso, thick cloth cape. Shield is cherry on the top :)
Can't believe seeing some of the nominee here (for example jetpack racer) if there were many much better ones

Unless you're talking about the shield printed on his torso, that's still an accessory.
Side note. It seems like most of the nominees are just different iterations of a minifig that’s been seen before. It’s a bit boring to be honest. Now with that said I did vote for the Classic Space one. Obvious choice. Classic. Space. Teal. That’s all I need.

If you check my comment (scroll a bit up) then you see my list with a lot of ''new type' 2025 minifigs. I'm curious which minifig you woud pick from that list as best 2025 minifig.
