Posted June 2, 201410 yr Hello everyone! Long time lurker here, finally decided to make a topic. With the recent buzz regarding the upcoming CMF series 12, I thought it might be fun to compile a list of my favourite minifigures from each of the series so far. Feel free to share your list as well, and while I have not included the Lego Movie series nor the Simpsons series, please include those in your list should you feel inclined to do so. Without further ado, here's my list! Series 1: Zombie (This guy made me fall in love with the CMF line, love the turkey leg accessory) Series 2: Spartan (The 300 film is still one of my guilty pleasures) Series 3: Elf (I felt as though this was one of the weaker series, but the elf and the mummy made up for it) Series 4: The Monster (Iconic. Awesome) Series 5: Gladiator (Even with the improved quality of design in the more recent series, I find the gladiator's helmet to still be one of my favourite pieces) Series 6: Roman Soldier (Incredible design, unfortunately also one of the most expensive. Minotaur and Lady Liberty are also excellent) Series 7: Bagpiper (Again, not one of the best series, but the bagpiper is just so great) Series 8: Alien Villainess (One of the most un-Lego feeling minifigures I can think of, but I still really dig it) Series 9: Cyclops (Also iconic. Also awesome) Series 10: Medusa (My favourite CMF released so far, was thrilled with the design; particularly the double sided headpiece) Series 11: Scarecrow (Really showcases the level of detail now being achieved) You'll notice most of mine are either monsters or historic warriors of some kind; can't get enough of these. I look forward to seeing your lists!
June 2, 201410 yr Series 1: Clown Series 2: Mime Series 3: Gorilla suit guy, I love his sweaty face under his mask Series 4: Garden Gnome Series 5: Wasn't overly keen on this series, but the Boxer is probably the best IMO Series 6: Tie between the Clockwork Robot and the Statue of Liberty, can't decide between them Series 7: Computer Nerd, I can relate to him Series 8: Wasn't that keen on this series either, but it had a much better Santa than the ones in the Advent calendars, so him I guess... Series 9: Battle mech Series 10: Bumblebee Girl Series 11: Gingerbread man, He's adorable! Team GB series: Gymnastic girl Lego Movie Series: Tie between the Barista and the Panda guy. Simpsons series: Milhouse, mostly be because he's my favourite Simpsons character I really love the animal costume characters
June 2, 201410 yr 1: Crash Test Dummy 2: Disco Dude 3: Gorilla Suit Guy 4: Hazmat Guy 5: Lizard Guy 6: Lady Liberty 7: the dark blue space dude. Probably one of my favorite minifigs ever. 8: Dark Robot 9: Knight 10: Paintballer 11: Scarecrow Movie: Taco Tuesday Guy Simpsons: Maggie
June 2, 201410 yr 1: Forestman 2: Witch (if I had the Spartan, perhaps it would have come on top) 3. Elf 4. Viking (Musketeer might have won if I got it) 5. Royal Guard 6. Roman Soldier (though there was a lot of good ones in this series) 7. Viking Woman or Evil Knight 8. Lederhosen GUy 9. Fortune Teller 10. Constable 11. Revolutionary Soldier (but there were a lot of good ones in this series) LEGO Movie: Lincoln Simpsons: None 12. Battle Goddess Lo-Block, welcome, and great thread idea. We seem to have similar tastes in minifigs. I really like all your choices except the Alien Villainess. The space minifigs leave me cold. Edited June 2, 201410 yr by Blakstone
June 2, 201410 yr Series 1: Forestman, for the happy memories Series 2: Weightlifter, mostly for the barbell and because the rest just didn't do it for me... Series 3: Tie between Baseball guy and Rapper guy, i am a City person Series 4: Hazmat guy, great for my Fire Dept. Series 5: Lumber Jack, for that awesome axe. Series 6: Surgeon, perfect for my hospital. Series 7: Programmer, again none of the other really interested me. Series 8: DJ, another series that didn't suit my needs. Series 9: Cop, cool hat Series 10: Painter, love his accessory. Series 11: Scientist, don't have it, but she could get a job at my hospital too
June 2, 201410 yr Series 1: Green archer dude Series 2: Spartan warrior Series 3: Elf archer Series 4: Viking Series 5: Evil Dwarf and Gladiator (Can't choose) Series 6: Roman Soldier and Highland battler and Minotaur and Skater girl (The person I love looks a bit like her) Series 7: Viking woman and Evil Knight (again, Can't choose) Series 8: I don't know, maybe the Conquistador?? Series 9: Archer woman Series 10: Hard one again, Can't choose between Roman commander and Warrior woman Series 11: Barbarian TLM: None. Simpsons: None Series 12: So far the Battle Goddess and the Hun.

June 2, 201410 yr Series 1: Caveman Series 2: Pharaoh/Lifeguard/Surfer - so difficult to pick one but this was when I realised how much potential the CMFs had Series 3: Tennis Player Series 4: Sailor Series 5: Royal Soldier Series 6: Pyjamas Boy (so many to choose from this series though - my all time favourite) Series 7: Neptune - but love the tennis guy's torso. Series 8: City Gent (with Diver a close second), nice to have a proper Santa hat too. Series 9: Actress - 2nd favourite series, love the cop and waiter too. Series 10: Sea Captain but favourite piece Grandpa's new bald hair Series 11: Grandma Lego Movie: Larry with notable mentions to Lincoln, Shakespeare and Where's My Pants Guy's torso. Simpsons: N/A - a waste of a CMF series IMO. Series 12 (so far): Battle Goddess but hopefully Lifeguard.

June 7, 201410 yr This is a fun topic. I may have seen something like this before, but I'll comment again! Series 1: Super Wrestler. Nacho Libre all the way. Series 2: Disco Dude or Spartan. Ooh, maybe I should customize and add them together. Disco Spartan... Series 3: Space Villain. I'm still looking for him. I want multiples for my Blacktron II clan. Next is Samurai Series 4: Kimono Girl or Werewolf. Series 5: Boxer. Nice new pieces. Series 6: Butcher or Leprechaun. Both interesting characters. Series 7: Bagpiper. Very cool idea. Series 8: Actor or Lederhosen Guy. Actor and Shakespeare are very similar and I love them both. Series 9: Mr. Good and Evil or Chicken Suit Guy. This was a great series. I loved the Forest Maiden's shield too. Series 10: Revolutionary Soldier or Medusa. I'll go with the Soldier because that was a long time coming update. I love that time period. But mythology interests me too. Series 11: Pretzel Girl. This wasn't the best series. I loved the Blacktron nod with the Mech, but I hated that they mixed I and II. Stick with one and I'd be happier. LEGO movie: Shakespeare. I didn't love that set. Mostly bought it for completion sake. But the torso/legs on ole Bill there will do good in historical MOCs. Simpsons: Homer. He's the funniest! Although I like his accessories here. I still don't love the molded heads, but they look better than the cartoon episode heads.

June 8, 201410 yr You'll notice most of mine are either monsters or historic warriors of some kind; can't get enough of these. For much the same reason, my list is similar to yours. Mine are: Series 1: Caveman (with Forest-man a close second) Series 2: Spartan Series 3: Elf (my favourite CMF of all!) Series 4: Musketeer (with the Gnome a close second) Series 5: Gladiator Series 6: Genie (with Minotaur a close second) Series 7: Ocean King (with Evil Knight a close second) Series 8: Vampire-Bat (with Fairy a close second) Series 9: Cyclops (with Forest-woman a close second) Series 10: Medusa (my second favourite CMF of all. The Amazon Warrior is my second favourite of this series) Series 11: Yeti Series 12: Wizard (of those seen so far) Olympics series: Judoka Movie series: Mermaid (with Shakespeare a close second) Simpsons series: Mr Burns (used his torso and legs for a MOC Riddler. Also, his three-eyed fish is cool. I had no interest in the rest of this series.) Edited June 8, 201410 yr by AmperZand

June 8, 201410 yr Series 1: Crash Test Dummy (Everyone seems to hate him, but I like the oddness) Series 2: Explorer (simple fig, but with great head and Adventurers rock anyway) Series 3: Fisherman (He got the new beard, which had turned out quite common) Series 4: Viking (great parts pack, nice head and printed shield etc.) Series 5: Gladiator (wonderful helmet, nice accesories anyway and a printed arm) Series 6: Highlander (new sword, but not much special, never liked this series too much) Series 7: Bagpiper (this was hard! This series had lots of awesome figs (also Hippie and Viking Woman) But bagpiper was the highlight. Series 8: Diver (easily! One of the worst series, but this is one of the best figs ever) Series 9: Forestwoman (This series was simply the best, but forestwoman was the most interesting one, nice head print and shield, and a cool hairpiece) Series 10: Grandpa (Great "hair", brilliant head and very useful torso) Series 11: Bobby (Stache!) Extra: Movie: Abraham Lincoln. Edited June 8, 201410 yr by pig

August 30, 201410 yr My favorites from each series: Series 1: Forestman (I actually don't have any from Series 1, but if I had to pick one to own, it'd be this classic.) Series 2: Witch (I love witches, and I like that she has green skin to differentiate her from Willa the Witch, my childhood fave.) Series 3: Elf or Mummy (Like Series 1, I don't have any of these ones.) Series 4: Sailor (Mainly for nostalgia -- he was the first minifig I got in a pack.) Series 5: Egyptian Queen (Another bit of nostalgia -- my boyfriend and I sat on the floor at Walmart while I searched for her and he searched for the Evil Dwarf.) Series 6: Sleepyhead (I was actually a bit disappointed with this set... beyond this one, the Minotaur, and the Intergalactic Girl, I didn't like very many.) Series 7: Ocean King (Honorable mentions to Viking Woman and Bride.) Series 8: Alien Villainess (Such a great, unique minifig. I would vote for Fairy but I didn't like that they used the fabric skirt for her.) Series 9: Mermaid or Forest Maiden (I can't decide between the two... I also love the Cyclops from that set.) Series 10: Medusa (By far my favorite minifig ever! I'm a huge Medusa/gorgon fan, so when this was revealed I was super psyched. Warrior Woman is also great.) Series 11: Grandma (This set is a lot like Series 6... I think the Grandma was the only minifig I got for it, so that says something.) The Lego Movie: Marsha, Queen of the Mermaids (I came late to the Lego Movie party, so she was the only one I actually got in the set.) Series 12: Fairytale Princess or Battle Goddess
