Items 1 to 60 of 819 Items 1 to 60 of 819I wanted to start the list with something completely random, and this guy fits the bill. He looks like he could have stepped out of a Monty Python film with that mustache, but apparently he holds the important job of fixing things and walking around in the background when the important characters are talking. I’ve honestly never seen a full episode of the new Clone Wars show, but the design of this dude named Hondo makes me want to spring for the first season Blu-ray in November. He looks like a pirate circus ringmaster. This is no ordinary R2-D2, this is slave R2 from Jabba the Hutt’s barge in Return of the Jedi! Finally your minifigures don’t have to get their own drinks! From everyone’s favorite Star Wars movie, The Phantom Menace, comes Aldar Beedo, a podracer that looks like a robot squid. Scout Troopers are awesome, but green Swamp Troopers from Chewie’s home-world of Kashyyyk are Most Awesome. The skeletal design of the prequel Battle Droids looks pretty cool in LEGO form, especially if you have a few thousand laying around.
I guess this counts as a minifigure, but there’s not much mini about it. It looks like a big pile of plastic, and is oddly all green, but with LEGO man hands Jabba is one of the weirdest minifigures there is. With heads that come off, you could easily recreate Anakin’s rampage from Episode II with these Tusken Raider minifigs. Donkey noises not included. Plo Koon was always one of the more intriguing prequel characters visually. I don’t know much about him, but I’m sure in Middle School I could have told you a lot. It’s bad that the prequels are entering nostalgia range now, but maybe that will make them seem better? Nothing is badder than a Royal Guard, and the LEGO version doesn’t disappoint. The Shadowtrooper, an expanded universe character, used a lightsaber and was all sorts of awesome. This version doesn’t have a lightsaber, but was in the first expanded universe set (#7664 Tie Crawler). Jabba’s slimey right-hand man Bib Fortuna may not be the weirdest looking, but he’s up there.
You’ve got to hand it to George Lucas, in what other franchise would kids play with a random background character with a messed up head, in LEGO form? Ok, probably Harry Potter, but still, Bib Fortuna minifig! There are many versions of Obi-Wan, but I think the Clone Wars version is my favorite. Maybe it’s his armor, or maybe it’s his crazy hair. Chewbacca isn’t a character you would think would translate very well into the LEGO world, but the cool head sculpt combined with the sculpted torso makes it work pretty well. Also, the bowcaster is pretty sweet. Like also comes in two flavors of awesome, regular or Clone Wars. I like the classic version the best; they really nailed the head sculpt. I love Greedo almost as much as I love watching Han Solo murder him. I mentioned the Mos Eisley Cantina set yesterday, and after staring at the Greedo minifig for hours upon hours (not really), I concluded that he is 4th Most Awesome. Also, it kind of looks like he’s wearing a thong, just saying.
Darth Vader may be a staple of most people’s LEGO Star Wars collections, but how many have the Battle Damaged Darth Vader? He came in the Rogue Shadow (#7672) set along with fellow The Force Unleashed stars Juno Eclipse and Vader’s Secret Apprentice. Apparently I didn’t finish that game because I don’t remember a battle damaged Vader, so excuse me while I go try to finally get past that darn Star Destroyer part. It’s really surprising that it took ten years for LEGO to release an Admiral Ackbar minifig. He finally debuted in set #7754 – Home One Mon Calamari Star Cruiser to gurgle his famous line “It’s a trap!” Most awesome because I love Admiral Ackbar, and you should too.A George Lucas minifig? OK, this one is kind of a stretch, and you’ll have to buy the LEGO Star Wars Visual Dictionary to find out, but somewhere in those pages lies an awesome minifigure of the Bearded One himself! I’d love to have one; it would go great with my Steven Spielberg minifigure from the long-lost LEGO Studios Movie Maker set.

These anthropomorphized pieces of plastic are a hot collector’s item, and with high demand comes high prices. These are a few of the priciest minifigs on the market today. Photo courtesy eBay user vsrg This exclusive minifig featured a red baseball cap, a printed Red Sox logo on the front, and a LEGO logo on the back. It was given away to kids attending a BoSox game in the summer of 1999. It’s unknown how many were produced for the promotion, nor how many survive today, but when they appear on eBay, they regularly sell to die-hard fans of Beantown baseball. A related Red Sox promotion from the same year was a 1” x 2” Duplo brick with the Red Sox and LEGO logos printed on each side. Today, this tiny little brick will fetch $100 if it’s in good shape. As one of the biggest genre entertainment conventions in the world, it’s no surprise that LEGO pulls out all the stops for San Diego Comic-Con. In 2012, they offered a series of four superhero minifigs—each with a limited production run of only 1000 pieces—as a special giveaway.
The heroes, DC Comics’ Shazam and Bizarro, and Marvel Comics’ Venom and Phoenix, were displayed on specially-marked cards that resembled comic book covers, along with a small brick to help the figure stand. Naturally, you’ll only get top dollar on the resale market if you kept the brick and card. (Buy Phoenix at Amazon.)

Fett was first seen in LEGO form in 2000 as part of the Slave I playset and has been featured in multiple sets since. However, the Fett found in 2003’s Cloud City playset is one of the most collectible. The figure was an update to the initial model and is one of the few minifigs with printed designs on the arms and legs. Photo courtesy LEGO Wikia User LEGOGEORGE One of the most fun promotions LEGO has offered has been the “Build-A-Bilbo” event at 2012’s San Diego Comic-Con to tie in with the release of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.
After first stopping by the LEGO booth to pick up a specially-tagged burlap pouch, a piece of minifigure hair, and a map of “ComicCondor,” you then followed the map to other Hobbit-related booths to collect various parts of the figure. If you completed your quest, you’d have ... a Bilbo minifig exactly like the one released later in a Hobbit LEGO set. But, if you kept that burlap sack and the map of ComicCondor, suddenly that everyday minifig is worth a whole lot more.

To celebrate, the nearby Toys 'R Us window offered an exclusive Yoda minifig with the purchase of an X-Wing playset. Unlike most Yoda minifigs, this one was limited to only 1000 pieces, and instead of his usual Jedi robes, this diminutive Master is wearing an iconic “I Love New York” shirt. In Yoda-speak it’s “New York I Love.”

The figure was presented on a card made to look like a copy of the fictional San Diego Brick newspaper, with the headline “Super Heroes Unite!” emblazoned across the top. Obviously if you want to get top dollar for your Green Lantern minifig on eBay now, you’d better have that card. At the same Con, Batman minifigs were also given away on a similar newspaper presentation. Although it wasn’t the first time the Dark Knight had been seen in LEGO form (he’s been a staple character since 2006), it was an updated version of the figure with a more detailed print of his costume. Photo courtesy Flickr user ftbt To celebrate their new line of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle playsets, LEGO offered an exclusive “Dark Leonardo” (some call him “Shadow Leo”) minifig at New York’s Comic-Con in 2012. The figure, completely black and gray except for his brown turtle shell and famous blue mask, came with a special NYCC skateboard for surfing through the sewers of the Big Apple.
Not many of the approximately 500 Dark Leonardo figures have hit the market just yet, but some have sold for as little as $225, while others have topped out at $350. Meanwhile, in another part of the city, people showed up at Rockefeller Center’s LEGO store dressed as their favorite mutant turtle in order to get their hands on an exclusive minifig—the battle-damaged Kraang. Only 300 Kraang were made, and today they sell pretty regularly for about $100 on eBay. (Buy Kraang at Amazon.) LEGO gave away more superheroic minifigs at last year’s Comic-Con. This time around they had a hooded Green Arrow and black-and-silver Superman modeled after the costume featured in the film Man of Steel. Both figures came inside a rigid plastic case with a background showing a city in peril, and were limited to only 200 pieces each, making them pretty rare today. Similar to their DC Comics counterparts, Spider-Man and Spider-Woman also got the SDCC exclusive treatment last year. Oddly enough, there are more of these figures out there—325 of each—but they actually sell for a slightly higher price.
You can’t underestimate the popularity of your friendly neighborhood wallcrawler.

LEGO randomly added a gold chrome-plated C-3PO minifig to 10,000 Star Wars playsets. The figures were sealed in opaque white plastic bags, but the smart collector left the bag closed and can now sell the contents for hundreds of dollars on eBay sight unseen. The Man of Steel made his minifig debut at New York Comic-Con in 2011 alongside additional copies of the Green Lantern and Batman minifigs from that year’s San Diego Comic-Con. Superman was presented with the same newspaper-style cardboard backing as the other two heroes, but there were only 200 figures available. Because Supes was so scarce, he demands a top price today.
At 2013’s San Diego Comic-Con, LEGO employees wandered the Con floor and handed out the figures to random passersby. This Azog minifig is exactly the same as the one included in retail Hobbit playsets, but this one is packaged in a plastic container with a cardboard background that features the Comic-Con logo. See Also: 9 Very Rare (and Very Expensive) Video Game Cartridges Between April 30 and May 6, 2001, 300 alien minifigs from the short-lived "Life on Mars" line of LEGO toys were sent into orbit on the International Space Station. After returning to Earth, the figures were framed with a certificate of authenticity and handed out to attendees at a special ceremony held by LEGO and NASA, making them a rare collector’s item today. After all, not everyone can say they have a minifig that’s been to space. Photo courtesy LEGO Wikia User Coo-Coo Cartoon At LEGO’s exclusive collectors preview party during Toy Fair 2012, the company handed out 125 special edition minifigs of Marvel Comics’ Iron Man and Captain America.
Instead of being modeled after the movie characters that were available in superhero playsets, these minifigs were modeled after the then-current comic book versions of the characters. The Captain America figure has black arms and legs similar to the modified costume worn by Bucky Barnes when he took over as the patriotic crime fighter after the original Cap, Steve Rogers, was killed. The defining feature of the Iron Man figure is the normal-sized minifig head with a printed-on helmet. In the playsets, the Iron Man figure has an oversized removable mask so you can see Tony Stark’s snarky smirk underneath. The minifigs came packaged together and most collectors refuse to break up the set. So if you want to get your hands on one or the other, you’ll usually have to buy them together. A few wise Toy Fair attendees have even included the badge and promotional flyer for the preview party in their auctions, helping to push the final price between $1500 and $2000. In 2010, recognizing how popular their little figures had become, LEGO introduced a set of 16 collectible minifigs, sealed in opaque plastic bags so no one could tell what figure was inside.
