Blacktron Mutant

"Series 26 Space earns an 86.1 BrickScore and a Highly Recommended verdict on the strength of its exceptional figure design, nostalgic Space-theme callbacks, and rare part inclusions including the Blacktron Mutant's double-arm trick and Orion's fully transparent assembly. The 3.50-star owner average reflects collectible-format frustrations rather than figure quality."

The Blacktron Mutant is one figure from the 2024 Series 26 Space Collectable Minifigures line (71046), earning a BrickScore of 86.1 (Highly Recommended). Owner enthusiasm for the series is high among buyers who understood what they were getting: collector-community ratings from LEGO.com sit at 3.52 stars (37 ratings) and Amazon at 3.50 (410 ratings), with only 65% recommending. That seemingly flat owner score is largely a product of buyers frustrated by the collectible blind-box format leaving them with duplicates, not dissatisfaction with the figures themselves. Reviewers who engaged positively praise the series for exceptional detail, nostalgic throwbacks to classic Space sub-themes (Blacktron, Ice Planet, M-Tron), and the introduction of rare and new mold parts.

Where they split: The main divergence is between buyers who understood the collectible scanning system and approached it strategically (very positive) versus buyers who encountered duplicates or scanning failures (negative). The 65% recommendation rate on LEGO.com, against very high satisfaction among reviewers who engaged with the figures on their own terms, captures this cleanly.
