What is your favourite minifigure of 2019?

Even if i should have gone for the Pink spaceman Lenny, since im a classic space guy. I vent or the Monkey King. Hes looking great. He also made me remember the cartoon when i was a kid.

I thought the Lenny the pink ‘spaceman’ was Jenny - a spacewoman.

Scrooge, because it actually generated excitement in me when I saw it. It also got me building displays for it and the triplets.

Voted Lenny - Just because I wonder about the backstory on LEGO HQ about creating the pink classic spaceman... My favorite in 2019 is actually "Jack Davids" from Hidden Side. Mostly because of the hoodie piece and the red jacket and hat. I feel like they created me! My beard don't fit tho.... But in Lego its perfect anyway =)

I voted the Galactic Bounty Hunter as he looks cool! Another one I like is Akita.

Despite me liking many other figs there, I picked Dustin purely for screen accuracy. The most accurate live-action actor to minifig translation ever!

I think most of these Minifigures are great, but getting a new Classic Space Minifig in Pink is the best in my opinion. Vote 4 Lenny!

I don't collect CMF (can't find them in stores and I don't buy blind bags online or pay extra on the second-market)

So Lenny remains as non-licensed here.

"Voted for Zuckuss, but I would have liked to see Bail Organa on the list as he was another notable omission put right this year."

I voted for Akita because she looked awesome but I was surprised that Bail wasn't there.

Scrooge. I hope for rest of Ducks in future.

I nominated Bachelor Batman as one of my favorites, but either the 1989 or Battle-Ready versions were vote worthy. And happy to see that so many of the Series 19 Collectible Minifigures are included in the final list; that group has been one of the best ever. But I have to stick with the choice that I bought an entire set just to have the minifigure - The Mandalorian.

And I have to agree with mkrey^^^; baby Yoda already has a huge leg up for next year.

A bit OT, but I’ll see your baby Yoda and raise you a Babu Frik ;~)

My vote is for Zuckuss. We needed him (or her or it?) to complete the galactic scum meeting in Episode V...20 years waiting!!!

1st - Sweet Mayhem
2nd - Pink Spaceman
3rd - Demogorgon
4th - 1989 Batman

As the Monkey King is the only survivor from my list, I gave him my vote. Is is a pity to don't see Widowmaker or D.va in the list: I'm not an Overwatch fan, but the minifigures are fantastic.

Lenny is surely my favourite in the list, but it is a matter of nostalgia not regarding minifigure's quality. A bit tempted to vote the [blacktron] Galactic Bounty Hunter, but half of my motivation is nostalgia-related too.

Apocalypseburg Harley Quinn. A fantastically detailed minifig, and since I’m a fan of Margot Robbie’s portrayal of the character, she’s probably my 1 fig of the year.

@CapnRex101: Will the results of all three polls be posted then in a single article? Just curious.

Lenny, hands down.

Voted for the comeback of the classic Johny Thunder aka Jungle Explorer!
Old is still gold mates!

Demogorgon is just so freaky looking in the show and it's Lego form that I can't pass up voting for it as my favorite. Ironically I don't watch the show and I don't have the set, but the figure is unforgettable.

Voted Scrooge. Just a perfect, elegant figure.

I don´ t like anyone of them.

Akita absolutely.

Lenny. Hands down.

Batman 1989 for sure

Both Baby Frik and The Child need to be in LEGO sets.

One of the few minifigs on that list I own, I had to vote for MK I. There's just so much detail, plus it's been wanted for so long. I do find it funny how the least detailed fig is top of the list though :)

Chose Lenora, the pink space (wo)man. My daughter got Classic space fever when she came along. She switched to a more feminine head, but it was a teachable moment about how the old minifigs all had the same heads in the good old days.

I voted for Roadhog since i feel that the Overwatch minifigures made the most impact this year.

They're all awesome. But I voted for good old Lenny.

So next year the pink ninja will win?

I really miss Ross and Chandler from this list. I think those two are Dustin quality lvl.

I voted for Sweet Mayhem, with Roadhog taking second place.

Not only are they great designs but they push the technical limits of what figs can be, and made me more interested in Big Figs and minidolls.

Since Apocalypse Abe didn't make the list but Monkey King did, I voted for Monkey King. Very detailed figure, but more importantly, very unexpected/unique figure which made it a nice surprise for the CMF line

I went with Batman because of the cape. I really wish in the future they make all the capes out of rubber. cloth are ok but collect so much dust. the hard fabric ones I just don't like.

For those of us old enough to appreciate him, it’s gotta be Johnny Thunder, boyos. Maybe he’ll make a triumphant return someday.

I don’t happen to own any of these minifigures, but because I actually know who this is, I went with Iron Man MK 1. Yes, I know, I’m an uncultured swine.

I voted for goofy because as a Disney dork that was a long time coming. There wasn’t a bad one in that lust though. I really liked Scrooge, Batman 89 you can’t go wrong with, and I’m excited for more mando sets

Lenny the Pink Spaceman. Classic Space. The original. The best.

Johnny Thun- I mean "Jungle Explorer"! <3

Demogorgon: Originality of Minifigure. Some of my favorites were omitted.

Tough choice here. I had to go with the Dustin minifig since he looks a lot like the character, but not to point where it just looks like a $60 custom figure. I wish I could vote for more than one: the Demogorgon, Roadhog, and Batman ‘89 are spot on (I’ll admit I’m a huge Stranger Things, Overwatch, and Batman nut but still). I have the Fox Costume Girl (not Akita, the one literally called “Fox Costume Girl”) and don’t see what’s so special. Johnny Thunder would’ve also been a great pick (I wanted him as much as the gamer fig).
@Calabar
I have the Widowmaker and D.va figures (haven’t built the set for the latter) and they’re pretty amazing. Not gonna express my thoughts any further because I’m a bit biased.

I’m loving The Mandalorian show, so I knew that figure was my pick. I was also close to choosing Lenny or the Demogorgon and it’s great to see Zuckuss and Goofy at last.

My real favorite was Duplo Figure Lego Ville, Child Girl, Medium from 10907-1: World Animals
but as that wasn't an option I went with Mando ;)

It was a close call between Tin Man and Jack Skellington. Both have entirely exclusive pieces, come in the CMF line, and are from themes that don't have sets in which to otherwise acquire them. I chose Jack base on his bow tie being of no other use to LEGO in yet they still made it. Also, the gorgeously printed gift box with matching lid and two unique snowflake prints made him the top pick easily.

SWEET MAYHEM!

A great non-licensed original minifigure! My first minidoll!

Honestly, I've not voted at all. The news that LEGO have (are) increasing the cost of a pack of the CMF series to £3.49 each means I will no longer collect CMF. As minifigures are at the core of my purchasing habits and perpetuate interest in the hobby, this price increase is likely to kill most impulse set purchases aswell. £3.49 each is about £1.20 more per figure than I am willing/able to pay. Given the scrabble it is to get figures once reduced I don't see me collecting CMF at a discount either. Extremely disappointed that LEGO seemingly listened to fan feedback then changed their mind on this issue.

Of these, the Jungle Explorer is my top pick.

It definitely hurt the wallet trying to pick up some of those new DC figures. It will make me re-evaluate how much I really care about them before purchasing. Exactly, no impule buys anymore. No army building anymore. Grab a few favorites and move on. Maybe this is my being bitter, but I hope this price increase kills the CMF market. But I know plenty of people will continue to buy them and it will be fine.

As for this topic, I voted Galactic Space guy. Thanks to the user with the side by side pictures. Made the vote a lot easier. Granted, I wouldn't say any of those figures would be my favorite, so who knows.

Demogorgon does a super job of capturing a difficult concept in mini-figure form. A close runner up was Akita with Tin Man a determined finisher in show, and Batman 1989 also in the money. Wonderful range of choices all around!

I decided to go with the Tin Man

Mistuh Johnny Thunder is ma go

I just loved the design of Sweet Mayhem, her hair, helmet and accesories for the wings are just amazing! Although I am quite fond with Joker and Batman 1989 however I don't have the Batmobile, so cannot have hands-on experience on the two.

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't Sweet Mayhem a Minidoll NOT a Minifig? Same for the Big figs? Not hating but just seems weird to ask for favorite Minifg then see these....

I’m also not best pleased about the price increase and will be getting fewer extras in future (I only buy selected minifigures anyway). But I’m pretty sure AFOLs account for a small slice of the CMF market. The vast majority are likely kids or adults (parents, grandparents etc) buying for kids. And for them, as they only purchase a few each, a small unit price increase is not a deterrent.

Technically, you are correct. Brickset, though, lumps all figures together into one category called ‘minifigures’ regardless of whether they really are minifigures or are minidolls, bigfigs, microfigs, unarticulated figures (e.g. Baby Voldemort), non-anthropomorphic androids (e.g. R2-D2) or even brick-built figures.

If there’s a space minifig in any kind of poll people will go crazy for it. Pretty much all the other figs are better and more interesting designs. I went for Harley Quinn as I actually quite liked Suicide Squad and the whole getup is perfect. I don’t much care for Overwatch but that is a fantastic Roadhog Bigfig.

When I heard the rumor that a Roadhog set was coming, I had certain expectations for what his bigfig might look like. It exceeded them. Bigfigs had lagged behind minifigs in terms of detail, and had too much of a "kiddie" aesthetic for me. Roadhog captured more shapes, details, and colors than I had expected. The big stomach tattoo, the license plate belt, the straps (And the little buttons and patches on them), shoulder pads, boot spike, etc. It had all the relevant aspects of his aesthetic and set a new high bar for an entire category of figures. It gets my vote.

Monkey King is a first for cultural significance, as it originates from Chinese folklore, and it's beautifully detailed. :)

My favourites are as usual, not on the list. This year LEGO has been good to me, making some minfigs I really like:

- sc078 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.0 Driver
- hp182 Minister of Magic (Cornelius Fudge)
- hp193 Ernie Prang, Prisoner of Azkaban
- tlm159 Gone Golfin' President Business

Dustin!Dustin!:D

Fox Costume Girl is my fave because whether Lego admits it or not, they made a "furry" with that minifig.

Yeah, but I think even parents and grand parents (and especially kids) will have a hard time justifying 5 USD (or 3.49 EUR) for one figure, and a mystery figure to boot. At 1.99 USD these were perfect 'impulse buys' at a register (which is how LEGO originally saw them when series 1 was envisioned), but at the price they are at now? I do not see it. I love the CMF series as a whole and am hard pressed to give up on getting a set (as I am a completionist) but at the new price they are really reaching and I think you will see a decrease in sales and not just from AFOLs. Heck any store that also has polys will deter people from buying a CMF pack at that price, if a poly (complete with a small build and figure) is the same cost.

I went for Lenny as it was my ‘favourite’ like the poll title said (not best design or most elaborate etc)
I can believe it’s in the lead!

"Great to see"?

MK1, but close second to Mandalorian

MK1, but Batman was a close second for me...

Lenny

I ended up picking Zuckuss. There are a lot of great minifigs here, but missing him from the group & wanting him pushed him above the others.

Now I just need to actually buy the set...-_-

@deikoon said:
"If you completely leave out personal preference and just look at the production quality, you have to choose Roadhog from this list. The rest are "only" minifigs, but this bigfig is on another level.

It seems that Lenny also links to Demogorgon."

False. That statement lacks an understanding of art, pop culture, science, math, and creativity.

@The_Byzantine_Knight:
I was planning to vote for Batman, even though I hate the cape. Don't get me wrong, the _cowl_ is great, but the fact that it's fused to a cape that is permanently billowing in the wind just limits what you can do with that minifig _SOOOOOOO_ much. I might take a close look at it some time and see if it's possible to cleanly chop the cape off and replace it with a cloth one.

Anyways, I ended up voting for Harley Quinn. I actually watched her first appearance live. I thought she was an existing character at the time, but later found out she'd been created for Batman: The Animated Series. They had a scene where Joker needed to push a cake into the room before jumping out of it, and they decided to just make a throwaway, one-shot character so the scene would actually work. Fast forward a few decades, and she's now probably one of the five most popular comic book characters. So the fact that they released a minifig based on her appearance in an R-rated movie, and it was _NOT_ an SDCC exclusive, is a pretty big win in my book.

@The_Teenage_Brickster said:
"Mando all the way!"

This is the way.

I was choosing Scrooge McDuck but even if I love the character, I still think his hat is too small.

I voted Zuckass as that molded head was phenomenal

Love the Akita figure. Great headgear and bold white-red unique cape.
Runners up for me: Jack Skellington (very striking in person) and the Tin-Man (nice pearl silver and design really capture this nostalgic look).

Although the Jungle Explorer is well done, nothing beats the Tiun Man for excellent perfection.

I'm happy my nomination got through :) Iron Man MK 1!!

Ahaaha, where's the Overwatch minifigures? I don't play the game, but those are like some of the best LEGO has ever put out! At least put DVA and/or Tracer on the list... Roadhog is cool, but those two are far more popular.

Its a very tough vote. So many good figures this year. I love Akita, which, let's face it, is San from Princess Mononoke. I also love the Galactic Bounty Hunter because I want an updated Blacktron theme to come back, and this shows what can be done. Dustin, Scrooge, and Sweet Mayhem were also in the running. But I went with Akita. Such a cool figure.

Waited 20 years for Zuckuss!

Sweet Mayhem

Heavy on licensed themes - 1989 Batman was my choice. For in-house themes, there's got to be some love for Captain Jonas (from the Hidden Side Wrecked Shrimp boat) for the introduction of the new sou'wester hat alone.

All time favorite Jack Skellington

Scrooge McDuck is about near perfect. . . so he has my vote (now get me a Launchpad!).

Also, if there was a Baby Yoda . . . that would probably be an easy winner . . . maybe next year?

Space Bounty Hunter is the only one currently on my work desk.

I voted Iron Man Mk I. That was the only one for me out of all these options that stood out.
I was kind of surprised the bacta tank version of Darth Vader didn't make the list...

Scrooge, Scrooge, Scrooge!!!

Tin Man and Jungle Explorer
