"Series 13 earns a strong BrickScore of 84.2 and a buy recommendation from every reviewer — it's widely considered one of the best Collectable Minifigures series in years, with an outstanding lineup of diverse, MOC-friendly characters and several genuinely new mold pieces."
Both reviewers agree that Series 13 (71008) ranks among the best Collectable Minifigures series to date, praising its exceptional thematic variety and strong MOC/army-building utility. The minifigure lineup earns the highest marks, with standouts like Unicorn Girl, Hot Dog Man, Goblin, and the female Samurai drawing consistent praise across both sources. Minor complaints are scattered and figure-specific rather than systemic — a mismatched gold sword, a tricky tile attachment, and a missed opportunity for the Evil Wizard's headgear. Overall sentiment is firmly positive with a clear buy recommendation from both reviewers.
Where they split: No significant disagreements — both reviewers land on a positive buy verdict. The only mild divergence is in depth of criticism: The Brick Fan focuses almost entirely on praise with only a brief note on availability, while Bouwsteentjes surfaces several specific figure-level gripes (mismatched gold, tricky tile, missing wizard hat) without letting them affect the overall recommendation.
