I was just going to bring it up in the Lego thread, but I figured it's a topic that might hold interest for people who no longer concern themselves with Lego - just about everyone played with them as a kid, after all. The mini-figs have always been my favorite part of Lego. Building great sets is fun and all, but I feel they would lose something if they didn't have little characters to inhabit and interact with them. So!

Whether it's an old classic, or a recent addition, what's your favorite Lego mini-fig?

For a while, my favorite has always been the evil, ultra-expressive face of the generic criminal fig. This guy:

Look at that motherfucker. Is he a murderer? Burglar? Rapist? Who can say? Anyways, he held the top spot until just recently, when I received a number of "Monster Fighters" themed sets for my birthday. This theme introduced me to the distinguished Dr. Rodney Rathbone:

Bowler hat. Rapier. Pistol. Handsome moustache. Bionic leg. Cocky, Robert Downey Jr. expression. Vampire hunter. This guy's got a fucking life story as long as Atlus Shrugged, and I genuinely want to know what he's all about.

Lego Adventures! Totally not a rip-off of that well-known adventure films trilogy.

With a 'stache like that, he could probably kick Indie's ass. Just sayin'.

My personal favorite. From 6034: Black Monarch's ghost

There's nothing about him that stands out in particular but I always very fond of it as a kid. It was the first LEGO knight I ever bought. (I only had 2 knights in my collection)

Behold your lord and master:

Original 80s Blacktron. The most badass mini figure out there. I think it is the opaque black visor that does it for me.

Boba fett from the first star wars run

The one and only acceptable answer

I am a really big fan of the recent TC-14 minifigure:

He sits happily on my midi scale Star Destroyer on my desk.

I am also really into Lord Vampyre from the recent Monster Fighters sets:

But I think that the latest Boba Fett from the Skiff set is the "best"

Fuck the rest.

I realize this is the nostalgia talking, but my all time favorite Lego minifigs will always be the classic space minifig.

They're so cheerfully industrious!

That said, the new collectible minifigs are pretty damn awesome all around. If I had to pick a favorite, it's gotta be the Lego B-Boy:

The Lego boombox is the greatest minifig accessory of all time. Meanwhile, a close runner up would be the Lego Luchadore.

I am also really into Lord Vampyre from the recent Monster Fighters sets:

Vampyre's a great villain - no pomp or arrogance there, he just looks eternally consternated. Like "why do I have to deal with this shit today?"
