With us now a third of the way through November, it's not long until the end of another incredible year of LEGO and the start of a brand-new launch season. The 1st of January 2025 will see the release of a range of new sets from an even wider range of LEGO themes. One of these includes our first of three LEGO Minifigure series launching in 2025, 71048 Series 27.
For some time now we've known of the 12 new figures coming in this series but, thanks to various sources on Reddit we have our first leaked images. The 27th unlicensed LEGO series of collectable Minifigures will continue to retail for the usual price of $4.99 / €3.99 / £3.49 with a single Minifigure in each blind box. Since the introduction of these controversial blind boxes at the end of 2023, LEGO has introduced QR codes which can be scanned revealing a unique code for each of the 12 exclusive figures included in Series 27.
List of Minifigures
Hamster Costume Fan - A young girl with small legs in a brown and white hamster costume. She comes with a new headpiece to recreate a chubby but cute Hamster face along with an accessory of a round 1x1 tile used to signify hamster food.
Wolfpack Beastmaster - Arguably one of the most exciting figures in this series, the Wolfpack Beastmaster has the Wolfpack symbol on both his torso and his shield. Along with a shield he also includes an exclusive Wolf mould and a sword as his accessories. He also includes a hood and a thin cape.
Jetpack Racer - This Minifigure comes in a mainly white racing suit with some hints of black and stripes of blue and red on his torso. He looks to include a brand new helmet piece with a red visor allowing us to see one of two facial expressions included with the Minifigure. A brick-built jetpack is obviously attached to his back.
Astronomer Kid - The space theme somewhat continues into 2025 with this character of the Astronomer Kid. She includes mid legs in light blue along with a printed space-themed torso. Her one and only accessory is a nicely built black and white telescope.
Plush Toy Collector - A brand new idea from LEGO with a Minifigure obsessed with plush toys. She includes two of them here which both look to include brand new moulds to create some wacky collectable toys in the Minifigure world. One is green whilst the other is blue to create a very colourful Minifigure that includes pink hair and purple torso and legs.
Pterodactyl Costume Fan - No surprise here to see our third addition to the LEGO Minifigure Dinosaur Costume fan collection. This time it's a grey and blue Pterodactyl which includes specialised arms with wings attached to them and a brand new head mould.
Longboarder - Here we have a female longboarder who includes a brand new hat and hair combination. The hair is a unique green colour whilst the hat is black which matches well with her overall outfit that's coloured grey, green and white. Her main accessory is obviously the longboard which looks to use a brand new piece.
Bogeyman - Another unique addition to this series is the Bogeyman, coloured entirely dark blue but includes some very fine details and printing. A brand new headpiece with horns is used along with an accessory of an exclusive printed book.
Cupid - In preparation for Valentine's Day in February, LEGO is releasing a Cupid Minifigure in Series 27. The figure unsurprisingly comes with wings and a bow along with the LEGO heart piece in red to match his eyes which are also heart-shaped on his printed face.
Pirate Quartermaster - Not only do we have Castle-themed Minifigures but also Pirates with the Pirate Quartermaster. She's an extremely detailed Minifigure with plenty of prints on her exclusive torso and legs. Her hairpiece also looks to be new along with a white parrot and the classic pirate sword.
Cat Lover - I guess this should also be called the crazy cat love as this figure seems to be obsessed with feline friends. An exclusive white moulded cat is included here along with a ball of wool. The Minifigure seems to be an expert with wool and knitting jumps as shown by the exclusive printed torso filled with even more cat references.
Steampunk Inventor - Last but not least we have another extremely detailed figure of the Steampunk Inventor. More exclusive torso and leg printing along with a brick-built invention of his. The Minifigure also includes the classic top hat with printed goggles.
Unsurprisingly, these 12 Minifigures add further additions to the costume characters, historical figures, fantasy creatures and everyday workers in LEGO Minifigure form. Wolfpack Beastmaster is obviously a reference to the Wolfpack faction of LEGO Castle from 1992 whilst Pirate Quartermaster, the second-in-command pirate, is a slight nod to previous nostalgic LEGO Pirate sets.
Pterodactyl Costume Fan continues the recent collection of dinosaur costumes in Minifigure series with this one containing those wings and a long beak headpiece. A Hamster is the second costume of the series whilst the LEGO Minifigure of Cupid is perfect for 2025s Valentine's celebrations. Bogeyman, Jetpack Racer and Steampunk Inventor are more original and very interesting characters that all include a range of new prints and pieces.
