Minifigure Spotlight Lego Movie - Taco Tuesday Guy

Taco Tuesday Guy looks suspiciously like the Series 2 Sombrero guy. Although the hat is a different color and and so is the poncho. 

The Taco Tuesday guy comes with a platter and two 1x1 flats that are either suppose to look like taco's or blocks of cheese.  They look like cheese to me. The blocks go on the tray loose, so watch out.

He's a pretty easy guy to feel for in the blind packs. The hat and tray or unique and there's really no other minifigure you could mistake this guy for.

Minifigure Spotlight Lego Movie - Wiley Fusebot

One of the three robot drones featured in the series. The minifigure features a bundle of dynamite and a pistol. All probably left overs from the Lone Ranger sets. He also has a cool Coonskin hat, if your looking to make a Davy Crockett minifigure here you go.  And Wiley also has a cool neck beard.

Minifigure Spotlight - Lego Movie - Hard Hat Emmet

Here he is the star of the show! He's also featured as a mini in about half of the current movie sets available. Of course this is a Emmet variation with hard had and I'm not sure what's in his hand. Some kind of controller? Since the movie isn't out yet, I'm not sure how it ties in, but in a few months I'm sure it'll all make sense.  

It's also nice that this version of Emmet is smiling, I'm not sure if he has two faces in the other sets, but the face I keep seeing on the mini is his scared/screaming face. He also has a really happy alternate face.

The hard hat and hair are all one piece.

Here's a close up look at the brick in his hand.

I'm also happy to say I finally found the last minifigure I needed for this set. No not Emmet, but Gail.

Minifigure Spotlight Lego Movie - Panda Suit Guy

What would a Lego minifigures series be without a guy in an animal costume?  We saw our first animal suit in Series 3 with the Ape and then we got a new one about every other series since then. Series 5 had a guy in a lizard suit, Series 7 featured a guy in a rabbit suit,  Series 9 featured the guy in a chicken suit, and we could probably also count the Series 10 Bee Girl, and now we get Panda Suit Guy.  He also happens to come with a panda doll. 

Minifigure Spotlight Lego Movie - Wild West Wyldstyle

I was at the store last night and finally saw the new Lego Movie sets. I have to say while I'm not too overly excited about the sets, a couple look really cool. I'll probably go after a few of the cheaper sets to test them out. I was also happy to see that there were still a few boxes and packs of Lego Movie minifigures to be had. The boxes had been picked over pretty good since the first time I'd been there and picked up my first round, but I was able to pick up all but one of the remaining minifigures I needed for my set.

WyldStyle's here was part of the first round of minifigures I picked up. She has a few other versions spread throughout the Lego Movie sets, but his is the only place you get the Wild West themed WyldStyle.  She's easy to find and with her block bottom. The only other minifigure you'd confuse her with is the Calamity Drone, but she comes with a rifle that's easy to feel for.

Lego Movie Minifigure rarity guide

Thought I'd offer another handy dandy rarity guide for the newest Lego minifigure offering since my Series 11 post was very popular.  I'm not sure if Lego is counting this as it's 12 Series or not. It's labeled as The Lego Movie and I guess we can assume that Series 13 will be just labeled as The Simpsons. But until I hear otherwise that Lego will continue it's series count with 12 after the Simpsons are done I'm going to keep referring to this set as Series 12 The Lego Movie.

Alright so for clarity I rate the figures as follows
Common - 6 per case
Uncommon - 4 per case
Rare - 2 Per case

After looking at a couple case breaks there is the run down for easy reference
Numbering is based on insert poster

1. Calamity Drone - Rare
2. President Business - Common
3 Emmett  - Common
4. Wild West WyldStyle - Uncommon
5. Abe Lincoln - Uncommon
6. Mrs. Scratchenpost - Rare
7. Scribble Face Cop - Common
8. William Shakespeare - Rare
9. Gail the Construction Worker- Rare
10. Larry the Barista - Uncommon
11. Martha Staplebot - Rare
12. Taco Tuesday Guy - Uncommon
13. Where's my Pants Guy - Uncommon
14. Wiley Fusebot - Uncommon
15. Panda Guy - Common
16. Marsha Queen of the Mermaids - Rare

If you can find an unmolested case a few of the rare minis should be easy to find. The mermaid and Calmity Jane both have parts that should be easily identifiable.

Good luck.
