Oh, and in the photo above, you can also see the Dog Sitter’s alternate face, with a slightly disgusted and less than pleased look. LEGO have done a remarkable job again with LEGO Series 19, and this is an easy Top 3 or Top 5 series for me personally.

The Monkey King was an awesome inclusion in Series 19 but considering LEGO’s strong courting of the China market, it’s not completely surprising. One thing I love most about the core numbered minifigures series is that the designers get to let loose and come up with fun characters that don’t quite fit into regular sets.It’s a clever way to re-purpose an existing mould and more colourful outlandish minifigures are always welcome in my books. I love how much personality the Gardener exudes – she doesn’t let her age prevent her from having a good time, with her purple floral top, and bright blue leopard-print pants. How To Find One: The Fox Costume Girl’s tail is easy to find, thanks to its rubbery texture, but you can also feel for her headgear, which has two pointy ears. I love how futuristic, cool and menacing he looks, and I imagine his character design drew inspiration from Tron’s Rinzler and a bit of Judge Dredd.

If they had added in a new Dalmatian, or cool new hose accessory, I could be convinced otherwise, but the Fire Fighter is the de facto dud of Series 19.The Video Game Champ comes with a great new accessory, a console controller that’s loosely modelled after an Xbox controller. Here’s the box breakdown of Series 19. Reports are a little hazy, but apparently, the distribution can be a little unreliable as there have been reports of people not getting 3 complete sets in boxes. How To Find One: Try feeling for the Mummy Queen’s headpiece, which is quite large and feels like a large hairpiece, with no texture. Alternatively, you could also feel for the scorpion, which has a prominent tail. I also like that LEGO intentionally made what is traditionally a “male-dominated” hobby and used a female minifigure instead, to highlight a very strong “girls can do everything that guys can do” message.
