"Series 28's animal costume concept delights casual fans and younger buyers, as its 4.1 owner rating confirms, but critical reviewers found the bland torsos and sparse accessories a meaningful step back from recent CMF highs, earning it a BrickScore of 68.8 and an honest Mixed Reviews verdict."
Reviewers land on opposite ends for Series 28's all-animal-costume CMF lineup: Jay's Brick Blog praised the cohesive concept and standout new headgear moulds enthusiastically, while Rebrickable found the all-costume execution created an overload effect with disappointingly bland torsos and minimal accessories. Owner sentiment sits at 4.1 out of 5 across 309 ratings with 77% recommending, reflecting genuine affection for the designs even as the blind-box experience regularly frustrated buyers with duplicates. The BrickScore of 68.8 places this firmly in Mixed Reviews territory, and the split between charmed fans and critical collectors is exactly what that tier signals.
Where they split: Jay's Brick Blog treated the all-animal-costume concept as a clear strength and described the series as hugely appealing with no weak entries. Rebrickable found the same all-costume approach repetitive and the execution disappointing compared to the Spider-Verse series, citing bland torsos as a fundamental weakness. The gap between these two positions is what drives the Mixed Reviews tier.

"This is the first time that we've gotten an entire LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series in animal costumes, I absolutely love as Animal Costumed minifigures are some of my favourite to collect."

"Reviewer finds the pricing reasonable (€3.99/£3.49 RRP per blind box) given the new molds and accessories, but criticizes that focus is heavily on mask design with bland torsos, legs, and minimal accessories compared to previous costume figures and the intricate Spider-Verse designs."

Owners love the creative animal designs and quality of individual figures, but widespread frustration with excessive duplicates when ordering multiple packs, especially from LEGO.com, and confusion over the blind-box single-figure format.
