I own 10 of the 16
Collectible Minifigures in this series. See below for back of leaflet image.
Aztec Warrior (2)- This was a Toys R Us planned purchase. Comes with special headdress spear, and shield. It being two months since the Series 8 release, I was happy to see these in stock at my local store. It took about 15 minutes of feeling through packets, but I finally found this one and the Ocean King. I really like the spear because it's taller and much more detailed than the older ones I'm used to. His headdress is very detailed with gold and coloured feathers. His body pieces and printed shield look fantastic though I think they could have used a shinier gold colour. Overall, an all around nice addition to my
Lego Small World (LSW) collection.

Bunny Suit Guy (3)- This was a Toys R Us mystery purchase. Comes with hat with ears and carrot. At first I wasn't too sure I liked this minifigure, but he has certainly grown on me. His face is printed with a big smile. I really like his ears as they have some curvature to them and that the back of his torso shows a printed tail. The carrot is a nice touch and was my first Lego carrot. I use him in my
Holiday Figure collection.

Ocean King (5)- This was another Toys R Us planned purchase for my LSW collection. Comes with special bottom, crown, beard, and trident. This guy was fairly easy to guess in the packet because of the special bottom and crown. The gold in his crown is stunning and I hope they use that more often. His naked torso features a 6-pack, so you certainly do not want to cross him. I like everything about this figure, from the printed scales on his fin to his shiny crown.

Bagpiper (6)- This was an ebay purchase for my LSW collection. Comes with cap, bagpipes, and kilt. The bagpipes piece is spot on. Easily fits into his hand and is nicely printed. I found the kilt a little difficult to put on, but it adds to the realistic feeling of this minifigure. His torso is a nicely printed suit top and the top of his hat is printed with the same kind of plaid found on his kilt.

Galaxy Patrol (8)- This was a Toys R Us mystery purchase. Comes with helmet, torso armour, gun, and reversible head. This other side of his head is yellow with a black thing over one of his eyes and a stubbly beard and mustache. His outfit is very well detailed with silver features. His armour also has some silver printing on it. This minifigure isn't really my style and he doesn't have a home right now. However, he does have a good amount of accessories and is fairly detailed.

Tennis Ace (9)- This was another Toys R Us mystery purchase. Comes with special hair and tennis racket. He has a little tracksuit on, but nothing especially detailed. He has a printed headband on his head piece. I'm not a huge fan of him, but I like the tennis racket and his spiky hair. I don't have any other sporty minifigures so he is homeless for now.

Jungle Boy (10)- Ebay purchase for LSW collection, representing Brazil. Comes with hunting knife and cute monkey that can attach to his hand. This is the same monkey used in
Series 5's Zookeeper. The hunting knife was packaged in a set of two, so we have a freebie. Our Jungle lad has an orange loincloth printed on his legs, and a rather ripped torso with shell/teeth necklace. His medium brown hairpiece is a bit longer than ones typically used for male minifigs because afterall, he does live rather far from the barbers.
Computer Programmer (12)- This was an ebay purchase for a custom minifigure I created. Comes with special printed coffee mug and laptop. He is one of my favorite minifigures. His hair, taped together glasses, and sweater all work together to make him the biggest dork the Lego Group ever created. Yes, this man's glasses are taped together and he is wearing a sweater that is sure to make grandmothers everywhere proud- complete with bow tie. The laptop opens up to reveal that there are tiny indents to show a screen on the top and keys on the bottom.

Viking Woman (13)- This was an ebay purchase for my LSW collection. Comes with dress, helmet with hair, sword, shield, and reversible head. The printing on her body isn't anything special, but she certainly comes across as a fighting lady. Her shield looks a little too plain. I do like the long horns on her helmet and her reversible head. The other side shows her with an opened mouth, as if singing.
Evil Knight (14)- This was a Toys R Us mystery purchase. Comes with helmet, armour, sword, and shield. His shield is printed with a dark red boar (not an animal I'd want representing me). I like the shiny silver studded detail on his shield and armour as well as the especially evil look on his face, which is complete with glaring red eyes and bared teeth, but he doesn't really go with any other sets I currently own.
