The Excitement of the 2026 LEGO Minifigures (CMF) Series 28
According to multiple leaks and forum discussions, Series 28 (71051) will feature 12 minifigures dressed in full animal-costume outfits, diverging from previous mixed-theme waves.
Known costume themes include Peacock, White Cat, Fish, Monkey, Frog, Koala, Dalmatian, Crocodile, Dolphin, Bunny, Lion and Parrot.
Each is said to come with unique accessories (e.g., a lilypad, banana, or fish food box) and newly-moulded animal heads or tails, suggesting an emphasis on animal-themed character design.
Moreover, the release date appears set for 1 January 2026, with the typical retail price of approx. US $4.99 (or £3.49 / €3.99) per blind box
The buzz among collectors is strong—some view the all-animals theme as a return to the quirky, original CMF roots, while others are cautious that it may feel repetitive after recent themed waves, but I’m excited for the new series
If you’ve been following LEGO’s CMF releases, you know how each wave brings something special—whether it’s a nod to LEGO Harry Potter, Marvel, or LEGO Disney themes. This year’s 2026 line could be one of the most diverse yet, appealing to both collectors and casual builders.
A Celebration of Creativity and Character
LEGO Minifigures have been a cornerstone of the brand since their debut in 1978. Over the decades, they’ve become icons in their own right—spanning everything from pirates and astronauts to superheroes and fantasy warriors. The 2026 CMF wave continues that legacy, celebrating the imagination and storytelling that define LEGO.
Each sealed mystery box still delivers that sense of wonder—what character will you get next? Whether you’re displaying them on custom stands or integrating them into builds like LEGO Jurassic World, LEGO Marvel, or LEGO LOTR, these figures add life and charm to every creation.
Where to Find the 2026 LEGO CMF Series
