LEGO news has been really quiet the past few weeks or so but here’s something about the Series 18 LEGO Collectible Minifigures that may interest you. A user on Eurobricks has stated that Series 18 could be another themed-based set with it being a “Costume Party.”
We’ve gotten a plethora of costumed LEGO minifigures in the past which have proven to be very popular with collectors like the Banana Guy, Shark Suit Guy, and Hot Dog Man, just to name a few. If the rumor is true, hopefully we see some designs that aren’t based off of previous minifigure costumes.
What do you guys think of the Series 18 LEGO Collectible Minifigures being all costume based? Let us know in the comments below.

Hoping it’s not true. I love the costumed figures, but an entire set of them would make me feel like they aren’t as special. I’ll still buy them, because I’m an addict, but I much prefer the mixed series’.
I don’t know why LEGO would do this as their Monster theme set was one of the least popular.
I’m sure some of it will be nice, but hopefully this is the end of them producing so many costumed figures.
Yeah, one per series is fine, anything more is too much.
It’s hard to please everyone. I wouldn’t prefer this, but I can’t blame LEGO for seeing the popularity of these types of Minifigures and wanting to capitalize on it. They could reasonably argue that they’re trying to give the people what they want.
They are becoming less popular year by year.
No one interested anymore about costume figures, well at least in my country. From S15 everyone hunted the badger and the farmer for the pig. The rest wasn’t interesting.
From S16 the pinguin boy and the babysitter took the prize, the others will rot on me.
From previous series, the mighty hot dog guy and unicorn girl cant be selled, no matter that I pointed out under the past 6 months BL common price.
My piggy suit guy does not worth 9 bucks for buyers…
In the other hand, roman, spartan, aztec warrior, hazmas suit guy, gingerbread man, chicken guy, zombie, elf warrior are really famous.
Its primarily to do with themes – mixed with useable parts for either MOC’ing or displaying.
For example;
– Have a bunch of Romans/Spartans/Aztec warriors/Zombies/Elf Warriors and you cn create a battle scene or display.
– Chicken guy and Gingerbread man appeal either for pieces or simply for their rediculous nature.
I really hope this is not true. It’s already been way over kill.
Honestly… I would LOVE this. Costumed minifigs tend to be my favourite in each range, so a whole series of them… 🙂
minifigures with pet is popular now. but costume minifigures always are rare in each series
Costume ones are good but to many is not the best option
They also are cool like the serie sixteen banana man but other other times they can be kinda sloppy like the rocket ship kid from serie seventeen.
