Description

A set built around minifigures

With 15 minifigures, Icons of Play stands out from most other sets around the 900-piece mark, which typically include only a handful of figures or none at all. The minifigures clearly draw on different styles and periods, turning the set into more of a collection than a single build. Fans of minifigures get noticeably more characters per piece here than in typical themed sets that ship with just one or two figures, which is likely the set's main appeal for many collectors.

233 elements, a restrained colour scheme

The 899 pieces are made up of 233 different elements, a relatively low part-type count for the overall piece number. White, black, tan and red form the main colours, pointing to a fairly neutral, restrained look rather than a brightly coloured scene. That combination fits a display-style build in which the minifigures themselves take the spotlight, with the bricks functioning more as a frame or base rather than a loud backdrop competing for attention.

A nod to minifigure history

Sets that bring together several minifigures in different styles often reference the figure's long history, which stretches back to the late 1970s and remains one of the system's most recognisable elements. Over the decades, minifigure design and expression have changed repeatedly. A set like this works well for lining up different faces, hairstyles and accessories side by side for comparison, rather than focusing on a single theme or storyline, giving collectors a rare cross-section of styles in one box.

Using the parts list

The full parts list on this page covers all 233 elements in Icons of Play along with their colours. That's particularly useful for tracking down replacement pieces for individual minifigures or for taking the set apart deliberately rather than treating it as one fixed build. Anyone building a personal minifigure collection can use it to see exactly which headgear, tools and accessories the set contains, making it easier to pick out figures for display.
