On Sunday, April 17, the Lego group introduced their Muppets Minifigures, which is part of the limited edition Collectible Minifigures (CMF) series. The #71033 version of their collaboration with Disney’s Muppets is slated to launch next month with 12 collectible Minifigures.
The toymaker teased the imminent launch of the Minifigure set on social media. Meanwhile, the official product description of the figures on their website states:
“Delight a child or Muppets fan with these iconic LEGO® Minifigures The Muppets (71033) bags for ages 5+. This unique series features a great lineup of exclusive Disney’s The Muppets characters to collect and display or to take independent or group play in unexpected new directions.”
This collection’s Minifigures are slated to be sold individually as part of the limited series drop. Each pack will include a character’s Minifigure along with some accessories to go with them.
What is known about the Lego Muppets Minifigure collection, and what will it cost?
The LEGO Minifigures will come in individual packs of ‘mystery’ bags which insinuates that the customers will not be able to pick the Minifigures of their favorite characters from the famed IP. These ‘mystery’ bags will retail for $4.99 and are expected to be around the same price in Euro (Eur) and Pounds (£).
As per the product’s official page on Lego’s site, the set is slated to be available from May 1 and claims to be “a nostalgic surprise treat for kids and fans of any age.” However, the product page states that the Minifigures are best suited for individuals above the age of 5 due to choking hazards from small parts.
