About
This series works because it doesn’t rely on a single theme. You get characters that fit MOCs, city layouts, fantasy builds, and pure collecting. It has that strong CMF balance, a few “normal but useful” figures, and a few that are pure LEGO weirdness, in the best possible way. Obvious highlights
Most fans will gravitate toward the most LEGO, most “weird in a good way” concepts,
Bionicle Cosplayer, pure nostalgia, and a figure that creates conversation just by existing, Robot T. rex, ridiculous in the best way, and made for display photos, Mysterious Ronin, the “Lloyd” of the series, LEGO calls him Ronin, but the design is clearly a nod to Lloyd, NINJAGO’s Green Ninja, and he’s instantly one of the most wanted figures for collectors, Monster Hunter and Cute Witch/Unicorn Elf, strong characters with great storytelling value for MOCs and dioramas. And then you’ve got the “filler that’s actually useful” figures, like the Marine Biologist (great for aquarium, beach, or lab scenes) or the Boba Cup Fan (perfect for modern city builds).

So…
CMF Series 29 is the kind of lineup that makes you want to complete the full set, because it has multiple strong standouts and very little “true filler.” If you grab them at launch (May 1, 2026) and buy smart, multipacks, trading, or targeted secondary-market picks, it’s an excellent series for collectors, and even better for anyone building dioramas.
