About Series 6 Minifigures
A busy year for minifigure collectors
In the catalogue, 2012 stands out: Series 6, Series 7, Series 8 and the Team GB figures all carry that year. Series 6 set the tone with a strong fantasy and history streak. The Minotaur comes straight from Greek myth and the Leprechaun from Irish folklore, while the Roman Soldier and the Highland Battler draw on real armies. Lady Liberty is modelled on the Statue of Liberty, and the Intergalactic Girl adds a science-fiction note. The Skater Girl and the Bandit round things off with more everyday characters.
Largest figures in the wave
Two figures share the top spot with 9 parts each: the Leprechaun (8827-9) and the Intergalactic Girl (8827-13). Lady Liberty (8827-4), the Bandit (8827-5), the Minotaur (8827-8) and the Skater Girl (8827-12) have 8 parts, and the Highland Battler (8827-2) and Roman Soldier (8827-10) have 7.
Building scenes with Series 6
Because the figures cover such different eras, many builders spread them across several displays rather than keeping them together. The Roman Soldier pairs well with the Roman Commander from Series 10, and the Highland Battler fits any Scottish or medieval scene.
