“Nobody mocks my beard!”Whatever you do, don’t make fun of the Evil Dwarf’s beard! You can tell him his armor is squeaky, his axe is rusty or his iron helmet is totally unfashionable for modern dwarf society, and he’ll just grin and laugh. But say one word about his prized whiskers and you’d better hope you can run away fast!Ever since he was a lad in the deep-down Dwarven Kingdom, the Evil Dwarf has been proud of his bristling black beard. It turned him into quite the bully! Imagine his surprise when he discovered that not everybody on the surface respected fine follicle growth. Now the Lego Minifigures Series 5 Evil Dwarf sells his formidable battle skills to whoever offers him the most gold – as long as they never, ever belittle the beard!
“Hey! Did somebody here order a PIE?”The Small Clown is totally serious about making people laugh. He’s memorized every joke book in the library, subscribes to several clowning magazines, and has a graduate degree in Advanced Mirth from Clown University. His philosophy is that if you’re not laughing, he’s not doing his job right. The way he sees it, he may be just a small clown, but he’s got really big shoes to fill. All of the famous and beloved clowns of yesteryear are counting on him to uphold their classic traditions of hilarity, and he doesn’t want to let them down. That’s why he rehearses hard to have the very best and funniest clown routines around. Plus, it lets him hit people with pies!
“It’s always a holiday somewhere!”Some elves might spend all of their time getting ready for just one or two special days a year, but that isn’t enough for the festive Holiday Elf. He thinks that every day should be a holiday, and it’s his job to work extra hard in order to make sure that everybody has a good one! The Holiday Elf knows how to make any kind of toy in the world, whether classic or brand-new. He can wrap a gift so quickly that it seems like magic, and he does it all with a cheerful smile. If you’ve ever gotten a present and you weren’t quite sure why, it was probably this little fellow making sure your every-day holiday was happy and bright!
“I’ve got my eye on you.”Forever watchful and alert, the Cyclops is the only inhabitant of a distant, uncharted island. He stares out to sea with his one unblinking eye, roaring at anyone who sails too close to the shore. But although he looks big and mean, he secretly hides a very sensitive soul beneath his scowling exterior. Who wants to be a monster all the time? There isn’t a lot to do when you live all alone on a deserted island, so the Cyclops spends most of his spare time writing poetry and building sculptures out of driftwood and seashells. He hopes to one day find a friend who really understands him – and with whom he can finally see eye-to-eye!
“Not computing does not build!” Everything that the Robot does, the Evil Robot tries to do the opposite. If the Robot spends all his time seeking out bricks and building giant towers out of them, then the Evil Robot dedicates himself to taking them apart and scattering the bricks everywhere – under beds, inside shoes, beneath fridges and anywhere else they’ll be hard to find. The Evil Robot’s single-minded drive to be the Robot’s opposite does have certain flaws. Since the Robot walks forwards, the Evil Robot is determined to walk backwards everywhere he goes. The Robot is a hard worker, so the Evil Robot tries to be as lazy as possible. Despite all this, villains keep recruiting him to help out with their bad-guy schemes. It’s probably because he looks so cool, but they usually learn pretty fast that having an evil robot on your side isn’t always as useful as it sounds!
“There’s always something new another hundred fathoms down.”If he could, the Diver would spend his entire life beneath the sea. He’s a born explorer, but instead of climbing mountains or looking for lost valleys, he’s dedicated his life to plumbing the ocean depths in search of new discoveries and the answers to old mysteries.Thanks to his weighted belt and boots, he can spend countless hours wandering through deep-sea trenches (as long as someone up top keeps pumping air into his diving hose) or hunting for shipwrecks (which aren’t hard to find when the Pirate Captain is around). He isn’t afraid of sharks or giant squids. Even the grumpy Ocean King considers him a friend, and has been known to ask the Diver to take care of his pet catfish when he goes out of town. To the Diver, the deep blue sea is the real final frontier!
“Now that the fight is over, it is time to sing!”When danger threatens the village, it’s up to every Viking to help out, and the Viking Woman has proven herself to be one of the greatest warriors of them all. Stalwart and strong, she stands with sword and shield raised, ready to face and fight off any army or monster – or army of monsters – that dares to attack the wooden walls.Even after the battle, the Viking Woman’s talent continues to shine. As the keeper of the village’s lore, she knows all the great poems and ballads of her people, and can belt them out in truly impressive song. With each battle won, she adds another verse, so that the triumphs of her clan will be remembered down throughout history!
Lego Minifigures Series 7 - Bagpiper“And here’s a little ditty my ol’ granddad taught me!”Bagpiping runs in the Bagpiper’s blood. His father played the bagpipes, and so did his grandfather, his great-grandfather and their grandfathers before them, all the way back to the day the beloved musical instrument first arrived in Scotland.He’s played his pipes for weddings, marches, wrestling matches and haggis-eating contests (he’s also played them at chess tournaments and libraries, but for some reason his enthusiastic performances didn’t go over so well then). Other musical styles may come and go, but the Bagpiper knows in his heart that the bagpipes will last forever!
