The (LEGO) Monsters are coming!
Lego latest Minifigures series officially known as Lego Minifigures 14 will feature a full suite of familar monsters that will thrill you to bits this coming Halloween. Personally I am a fan of LEGO especially their special theme Lego Minifigures. Our past reviews will attest to that.
Usually LEGO Minifigures will comprise of minifigures of various themes. Series 14 is a little special as it has a common theme attached to it... MONSTERS. This series brings you the best compilation of minifigures in Monster form. From werewolf to zombies to ghouls to witches, you have a scary ensemble of LEGO Minifigures to scare the bejeeners out of everyone.
We bring you a quick guide to the Minfigures offered plus we give you some tips on the best (and cheapest) way to collect these minifigures in Singapore.
1) Wolf Guy
 |
| Wolf Guy |
A Werewolf in Hillbilly clothings. Before he was transformed , he was probably known as Kel.
 |
| Wolf Man Back |
Feel Guide
It comes with a distinct wolf head and a long bone. Those combine with the tail will give you a clue when it comes to the search for it. It is similar to the Tiger Woman but you can tell the difference from the long bone it carries.
It comes in 3 in a box, making it a pretty rare find.

| Wolf Man Parts |
2 Zombie Pirate
 |
Ahoy, the Zombie pirates have landed.
The Zombie pirate would be at home in a Pirates of the Caribbean Set. It's quite similar to a generic pirate and comes with a hook and a captains hat.
 |
| Zombie Pirate's Back |
Feel Guide
The Hat and sword are dead giveaways. Feel for a small ring (the collar) to confirm. The 'wooden' leg is particular to this minifigure too.
It comes in 5 in a box, making it one of the easier one to secure.

| Zombie Pirate's part |
3) Monster Scientist
 |
 |
| Monster Scientist Back |
Feel Guide
This nerdy mad bloke has an interesting selection of parts. Contrary to my expectation, the elongated head can be detach to two , thus allowing you to the part for other character. It's fly potion is the item to feel to confirm you got the right guy.
He comes in 5 in a box, so it is not a very popular scientist.

| Monster Scientist Part |
4) Wacky Witches
 |
Beware of the Wacky Witch of the East.
The Witch is not a new addition to the minifigures series world, bit it is different from the earlier versions with its green facade.
 |
| Wacky Witch's Back |
Feel Guide
The Witch comes with a companion and she is the only one in the series with a pet. The distinct parts are the Cat, the brown Stick and the large hat.
She comes in 3 in a box, making it a much sought after witch.

| Wacky Witch's parts |
5 Plant Monster
 |
| Plant Monster |
The plant Monster is not a man in a plant suit. Instead it was the product of a bad experiment that allowed the plan to grow hands and legs. As it's appetite grows, it decided to take its first human course for lunch!
 |
| Plant Monster's back |
Feel Guide
It has the largest head in the series. The addition thorns will help in identifying it.
It comes in 4 in a box, but would be highly sought after due to its unique characteristic.
 |
| Plant Monster's part |
6 Fly Monster

Rumored to be the creation of Monster Scientist, this giant fly is one that you will find hard to swap. The head is unique to Minifigures and this would make a possible army builder contender.
 |
| Fly Monster's Back |
Feel Guide
The wings and the head. If you really want to make sure, feel for the claw hand too to differentiate from the Gargoyle
It comes in 4 in a box, but would be highly sought since it has a unique headpiece and potential army builder.
 |
| Fly Monster's Parts |
7) Spectre
 |
| Spectre |
Ok , it isn't big, but it is sure scary. One of the better ghost found in LEGO Minigifures universe.
 |
| Spectre's back |
Feel for the hood and the distinct 'leg' piece. The chain will help you differentiate from the Banshee.
It comes in 4 in a box, but would be highly sought after given its relevance to Halloween.

 |
| Tiger Woman |
Watch out Tiger Moms, there is a new Tiger Woman in town. Like most costume characters of LEGO Minifigures series such as Series 13 Unicorn Girl or LEGO Movies Panda, this Tiger Woman will be one of the star of the series ( READ : Very sought after) . For collectors or flippers, this is the one to cat get your hands on.
 |
| Tiger Woman's back |
Feel Guide
She will be quite similar to Wolf Man with its tail and big headpiece.The whip will be the one to tell them apart.

The Gargoyle is a standard feature in any Gothic building. Think Batman Gotham City or the majestic Gothic Churches.

The Wings and the short legs are the clue to getting a Gargoyle
It comes in 4 in a box, making it fairly easy to find.
 |

He comes in 4 in a box, making it fairly easy to find.
 |
| Skeleton Guy's Parts |
12) Monster Rocker
 |
| Monster Rocker |
Would wants to rock our with Monster Rocker Frankenstein?
There are other Frankenstein minifigures in LEGO lore so this would probably not be too popular. It is still a great addition to any rock band. For those without Frankenstein in their collection, this would be a cheaper way to obtain them,
 |

Feel Guide
The Guitar as the head piece are distinct to this minifigure
It comes in 5 in a box, making it easy to find.
 |
| Monster Rocker's Parts |
13) Zombie Businessman
 |
| Zombie Businessman |
For fans of TWD ( The Walking Dead, not The Wacky Duo) , this is a must have. One of my personal favourite due to the office attire that I identified with. Plus I am a huge fan of TWD! The Zombie Times that comes with it is a must read for Zombie fans!
 |
| Zombie Businessman's Back |
Feel Guide
The 2x2 tile is only available for this minifigure. Feel the briefcase for confirmation.
It comes in 3 in a box, making it one of the harder ones to find.
 |
| Zombie Businessman's parts |
14) Banshee
 |
| Banshee |
This is the female version of a ghost and fits even into a Pontianak theme. Not sure why she is crying though...
 |
| Banshee' back |
Feel Guide
Its similar to the Spectre, so be careful when it comes to choosing it. The head piece is rough compared to the Spectre's smooth Hoodie.
It comes in 3 in a box, making it rare and desirable.
 |
| Banshee' parts |
15) Square Foot
 |
| Square Foot |
No Big Foot here, but Square Foot ( which we think it is one and the same) You might be wondering why the camera, we suspect it was probably nicked from a camper who wanted to take the Square Foot photo.
If you stare closely, you might find the Square Foot resembles his distant cousin , the Yeti from an earlier series.
 |
| Square Foot's Back |
Feel Guide
The big head and the camera would be the items you would be looking for in the search for Square Foot.
It comes in 4 in a box, making it a breeze to find.
 |
| Square Foot's Parts |
16) Spider Lady
 |
| Spider Lady |
Say hi to the extremely elegant Spider Lady. She does not have any love connection with Spiderman. On the contrary with her fangs, it would be no surprise if Dracula is her lover instead.
She is truely one gorgeous babe that even the wife fancy her.
 |
| Spider Lady's Back |
Feel Guide
She is the only one with the big dress in this series . The 8 legged Spider would help too. It will not be hard to identify her.
She comes in 3 in a box,so finding her might be quite a challenge.

| Spider Lady's Parts |
