Moseyed into Toys R Us to find the last bits of a Minifigures Series 10 shipment tonight! They were super picked over, but I was fortunate enough to use the tried and true 'squeeze method' to find my 'must haves' for this wave. I went ahead and documented the bump codes too, for those of you who use that method of discovery:
First up, Bee Girl. This gal is super cute, and since my wife is related to the lead singer of Blind Melon, I figured this one was one I needed to own. Her 'bump code' is below:
If you squeeze, feel for those wings. Next up...Medusa!
Medusa is a true gem in this wave. She's super easy to find via the squeeze method because she has a massive snake lower body, which is epic. She also has two faces...
...and that snake-hair is just too much! I love this minifigure! If you squeeze, feel for that snake body, you can't miss it. Medusa's bump codes are as follows:
I just had to have Xena: Warrior Princess!
This minifigure is simple but beautiful in her non-copyright but damn sure Xena inspired motif. What's not to love?
If you squeeze for Xena, feel for that staff and shield. Xena's bump code is as follows:
Even though the assortment I found was very well picked over, I was lucky to find the big three.
UPDATE: I returned to Toys R Us on 5/1 and found another VERY picked over box, but was able to procure Pagliacci:
And here is the sad clown's bump code:
Once again, Medusa is the stand-out here. Xena is a must have for anyone who was a fan of the show back in the nineties, and of course Bee Girl is just too cute for words!
