Cabaret Singer

"The Cabaret Singer from CMF Series 21 is Highly Recommended on the strength of one of the most consistently excellent CMF lineups LEGO has produced, with a BrickScore of 77.6; the owner rating of 3.67 across 236 reviews reflects blind-bag frustration rather than figure quality, which experts and in-hand buyers consistently praise."

The Cabaret Singer, part of Collectable Minifigures Series 21 (71029), earns a Highly Recommended verdict largely on the strength of the series as a whole. The Brickset reviewer called Series 21 possibly the most consistently high-quality CMF series ever produced, praising the abundant exclusive accessories, dual-molded parts, and new molds across all 12 figures. The Cabaret Singer specifically received minor criticisms around her dull yellow torso and the difficulty of positioning her dress train, but these are overshadowed by the series-wide quality. Owners rate the series more cautiously at 3.67 out of 5 across 236 ratings, a notable gap from the expert BrickScore of 77.6, driven largely by blind-bag duplicate frustrations.

Where they split: The notable divergence here is between expert and owner ratings. Critics score the series highly at 81.4, while 236 owners average only 3.67 out of 5 with a would-recommend rate of 75%. The gap is largely explained by blind-bag duplicate complaints from single-pack buyers, an issue that does not apply to collectors buying full boxes.
