We got the first glimpse of LEGO Minifigures Series 15 in the Junior version of the November-December issue of the LEGO Club Magazine (see below). At that time there was much excitement about the minifig with crutches, the new skirt piece for the queen, and of course the minifig that looks like the infamous Left Shark from the Super Bowl halftime show. 🙂
Just a few days ago more images surfaced from LEGO Minifigures Series 15, showing each character in more detail. I have to say that this looks like one of the best LEGO minifigure series ever released. Here are all the characters in the series (this are not yet the official names): ballet dancer, tribal woman, kendo fighter, clumsy guy, satyr, shark costume guy, queen, wrestling champion, jewel thief, farmer, astronaut, scary knight, mythological warrior, animal control, laser robot, and janitor.
There is so much to like about this series, I don’t even know where to start. The ballet dancer is a bit overweight, but very cute with her ruffled skirt (looks like a hard plastic piece element) and flowers printed on her hair. The tribal woman is holding a brand new bundled baby, and the feather piece in her hair has a new color. The kendo fighter comes in a cool blue armor, and new color katanas. The clumsy guy got those awesome crutches (I’ surprised LEGO didn’t release them earlier), head bandage and printed leg bandage. The satyr has a similar horned headgear as the LEGO Minifigures Series 14 Gargoyle, but it is not the same piece. He also comes with a printed flute, and new satyr legs! Left shark is just awesome, and I expect this minifig to be a favorite not just with LEGO fans. The queen has a brand new skirt piece – a much needed upgrade from the slope skirt we got previously. The wrestling champion is a bit hard to make out, but muscled minifig torsos are always useful. The jewel thief has that lovely hair piece in new color. The farmer comes with nice printing and a pig. The astronaut got a LEGO Classic Space flag. The scary knight has a new shield and weapon. The golden mythological warrior is a thing of beauty. The animal control lady is trying to catch a skunk – a brand new animal in LEGO form! The laser robot is similar to the LEGO Minifigures Series 11 Evil Mech, with the wings of the LEGO Galaxy Squad Orange Robot Sidekick. And the janitor is fantastic too with that brand new mop piece.
While I normally only get about half or less of the LEGO Collectible Minifigures from each series, in this lineup I like pretty much all of them. I plan to get 3 ballet dancers, and at least 1 tribal woman, clumsy guy, satyr, left shark, queen, farmer, astronaut, scary knight, golden warrior, animal control, laser robot, and janitor. The minifigures should be available in January at various retailers and the Online LEGO Shop.

It really is a total success! There are only 2 I don’t want and that’s because the one robot warrior one looks like a variation of the robot warrior that seems to be in every collection and I have no use for a Ninja. I’m not wild about the knight either but he could still fit in a court with the recent king and the fabulous new queen (hope her crown turns out to be better than it looks).
The rest are funny, interesting, original, and just about as appealing as they could possibly be!
Can you tell if the ballerina and satyr have mini legs?
Yeah, I agree that this is a fabulous series. The satyr has unique legs that we have never seen before. As far as I know the ballerina has regular legs.
Yes the ballerina has normal legs. Also Admin you said “…I don’t eve know where…” I believe you mean even. lol Also you said that you can’t make out the wrestler, well I have some images at my disposal so I can describe him to you. He has like blue “wings” printed across his eyes, a champion belt thing (typical), a new mullet element, blue shorts and purple pants (looks like duel molded), and some tattoos on his arms.
Yeah, the wrestler was a bit hard to make out first as I only had a lower resolution image when I wrote this article, but since then a better version became available. I like his tattoos! 😀
It would be really cool if LEGO did a fantasy theme ( like the dwarves and trolls). Has it ever happened that a mini fig started a theme / series ?( monster fighters)
LEGO is constantly getting feedback from kids as far as what they like and what is popular, so yeah, if an idea for some characters is popular LEGO will surely consider making an entire theme around them. It is always a good idea to give LEGO feedback on their surveys, etc. so they know what you like. 🙂
You mean kids like them too?
LOL! Yeah, of course! 😀
This is definitely a cool series, although I am not interested in too many of them. 😐 My favorites are the Satyr, Scary Knight, the golden warrior guy, and the laser robot (for the ice sword). Chances are I will get only one of those, or maybe none. However, I will admit that there are many cool new accessories in this series, especially the Queen’s dress-piece, the Satyr’s legs, the skunk, and the baby piece. Now I’d like individual images so I can see these minifigs up close. 🙂

Yeah, that little Nexo Knights castle is too cute! 😀
How is the ballerina overweight when she has the exact same proportions as every other (regular, not counting Comic Book Guy non-humans, etc) minifig out there ? Am I missing something ?
I also don’t understand the “overweight” description. Is she not the standard minifig proportion?
She is of normal proportions. Minifigs are just a bit on the chunky side, and ballerinas are not, as a general rule.
The golden warrior is an Astrid in warrior form. They can also appear as an owl with a human face. In warrior form, they wear gold armor with wings. Also, Confused, most minifigs have slightly overweight proportions.
Thanks for the background on it! 😀
Yes, that’s what I meant. All minifigs are on the chubby side, so yeah, compared to a real life ballerina she is overweight. 😀
That’s very interesting about the golden warrior!
I learned that from reading Fablehaven. 😀
Seems to be pretty specific lore… Since the book seems inspired by Scandinavian folklore, I wonder if they’re named after author Astrid Lindgren…
I need that skunk!!!
Me too! 😀
I need about……358 (for my town, to be used as road-kill). 😀 👿
I noticed that there’s also what appears to be a castle themed mixel, a yellow mixel, and a purple mixel, who might be a munchos, in the Juniors image featured.
Oh, yes. Good notice.
Yes, those are from Series 7 of Mixels, one from each tribe. From left to right, their names are Mixadel (41558), Tapsy (41561), and Kuffs (41554). 😀
Stayr, Myth Warrior, and the Knight are the best. That mace though
I counted my minifigs today and ended up with 430 complete figures not counting the hundreds of broken up ones I have….I guess this will be +16! XD
Is it just me, or are some minifigs probably going to be learning Kendo next year? 😀 I must have some of those wooden bokkens! The laser mech is also a must have for my Galaxy Squad that I started in Series 13.
Yeah, I love the Laser Mech too! I’m planning to use it with my Galaxy Squad theme as a mech that has gone bad. 😈
