"When the minifigures were shown in teaser images by LEGO last year, I was really excited for the Series 9 minifigures to be released."

Ecosystem

Series 7 Galaxy Patrol and Evil Knight — Alien Avenger and Heroic Knight provide rivals/counterparts to Series 7 characters, expanding narrative and collection possibilities for fans of those previous series

Series 3 Gorilla Suit Guy, Series 5 Lizard Man, Series 7 Bunny Suit Guy — Chicken Suit Guy continues LEGO's successful animal costume minifigure tradition with improved design and new wing arm parts

Series 7 Ocean King — Mermaid could potentially be a relative or thematic counterpart to the Ocean King

Series 1 — Series 9 now exceeds Series 1 in the reviewer's personal preference, re-igniting the same excitement felt at Series 1's launch
