Series 23 Minifigures

About Series 23 Minifigures

A series for the festive season

Several figures in this wave feel made for a winter display: the Nutcracker (71034-1), the Sugar Fairy (71034-2), the Snowman (71034-3) and the Holiday Elf (71034-5). Placed together on a shelf or next to a winter village, they form a small seasonal scene without any extra building. The Sugar Fairy draws on the world of the Nutcracker ballet as well. The Reindeer Costume (71034-4) fits the same mood, with a minifigure dressed up rather than an actual reindeer.

Costumes and a castle tribute

Costume figures have long been a running thread in the collectible series, and Series 23 adds the Turkey Costume (71034-9) and the Green Dragon Costume (71034-12). The most detailed figure, however, is the Knight of the Yellow Castle (71034-11) with 12 pieces. It nods to the yellow castle set from the late 1970s, one of the earliest castle sets, and appeals particularly to builders who remember the classic castle range. The other figures shown here use between 8 and 10 pieces, and each set page lists the individual elements, from heads and hair to small accessories.
