It’s been a bit since we’ve had a new Collectible Minifigure series and now we have the first licensed series of 2021. This one is based on Looney Tunes with a pending release of a 2021 movie. There are 12 minifigures in this series in line with Series 21. This series cost $4.99 per bag in the US which is in line with previous pricing. This series came out on in the US on 26 April 2021.
Overall, the characters are mostly non-standard with only one having a standard minifigure head. The remaining ones have molded heads. For the most part they look pretty good and like the cartoon characters. If you’re a fan of Looney Tunes, then I recommend them. Or if you’re a completionist and addicted to collecting LEGO minifigures. Otherwise, the almost $5 for a minifigure is still a bit high in my opinion. I found them for $3.95 each locally so I can’t complain.
The only thing interesting about this series is the violence of the characters. It’s interesting that LEGO and their non-violent stance would do this series. Especially with the characters that have various weapons to go after each other. Interesting…
Onto the review…
Tweety Bird and Sylvester the Cat are known for going after each other. In this case, Tweety has a large hammer (that can cause the minifigure to tip over if you don’t position it right) and Sylvester has a bat. Tweety is slightly smaller while Sylvester is larger so that works. Sylvester is pretty accurate and I can see where it would be hard for Tweety to be actual size in the LEGO scale.
Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote are two other enemies with Wile E. going after Road Runner in every sketch. Road Runner is a bit larger in scale than the skinny bird from the cartoon, but it works. I’m not sure what the bowl is that he has with him. Wile E. is pretty accurate and I like the brick built anvil that he has to attempt to drop on Road Runner.
Petunia Pig… I don’t remember seeing her ever in one of the cartoons. Maybe she’s new? She comes with a teapot and cup. The bag actually comes with two cups.
Porky Pig looks like the cartoon pig with his blue jacket. I like the “that’s all folks” sign.
Daffy Duck looks pretty accurate and the “rabbit season” sign is fun.
Tasmanian Devil comes with a drum stick and pie. He also has a little spinner plate so you can spin him around like he does when he enters a room. He can also be placed on the usual minifigure stand.
Marvin the Martian comes with his helmet, eyes peaking out from under the helmet, and his ray gun. I almost missed the little skirt thing in the bag, but it fits right in…
Speedy Gonzales looks pretty accurate and comes with some cheese slopes that are decorated like cheese.
Last 2 minifigures…
Lola Bunny is… I had to look her up. I guess she’s from the first “Space Jam” movie. I hadn’t heard of her before, but there you go…
Bugs Bunny looks like the classic Bugs. He has the typical carrot that we’re used to seeing him with.
