Minifigures Series 3 Gorilla Suit
This has got to be one of favourite minifigures in the collector series that LEGO has produced. It’s not meant to be just a gorilla, but a man in a gorilla suit. The detail is great too. The eyes are the eyes of the head underneath the gorilla head and there is a zip detail [...]

Minifigures Series 1 Deep Sea Diver
Another LEGO minifigure from the series 1 collectors set, the Deep Sea Diver complete with goggles, air tank and flippers. With the accessories, you could be mistaken for this figure being a Space Man as the helmet is very similar, but it’s the detail in the accessories that make this a great little minifigure. LEGO [...]
Storm Trooper
I can’t believe it has taken me so long to post what is one of the most iconic figures from the Star Wars films. The Storm Trooper was the elite soldier of the Galactic Empire. Once they were all clones of Jango Fett, grown on various planets in the out rim as well as the [...]
Minifigures Series 2 Pharaoh
Another minifigure in the LEGO Minifigures Series 2 Collectors set. This is an Egyptian Pharaoh with head gear and staff. I like the detail in this figure, ok, the head gear is the bit that really makes it look like an Egyptian Pharaoh, but it all works together and the staff tops it off. The [...]
