A brightly coloured and unique figure to add to your collection.
Let's start from the top..
New hair piece! With new colour and new design, the hair appears to really flow, and it makes the girl look very pretty. It has however a massive disadvantage; you cannot move your minifigure's head around. The piece is so big that it clings tightly to the back of the torso, meaning that your minifigure MUST look forward to not have its face concealed by the hair. The pose in the above photo is NOT possible.
The face is a fun design. The girl has pink eyeshadow and an open mouth, I assume she's always singing. The lips are very full and very red, much darker than in the picture above.
The torso is excellently designed. It is almost entirely shiny-silver with a good detailed design for the female torso, using as many curves as possible to distract you from the otherwise very blocky torso piece.
The trousers are really well designed and printed. A bright pink, they make your minifig really stand out among the rest. There is a sweet buckle design down each leg.
The obviously cool piece is the microphone - the set comes with one spare, which I think is great as it can be given to either Disco Stu or to your Emo skater from Series 1 - Emopunk, anyone?7 out of 7 people thought this review was helpful.
One of the best figures in Series two. Lots of unique parts!
Let me start from the top!
The sombrero is of course a new unique mould, and very large, about 4x4 studs in size (!)
It has very nice golden printings on the edge of the hat.
It is easy to remove, and clutches incredibly comfortable on the head.
The clutching mechanism is primitive and quite ugly but does the job well.
The head - nice big moustache. Can't say any more!
The torso is plain and unprinted. A printed torso would have been super to use in many ways, native south american dress, or even for red indians, etc.
The poncho makes up for it. It is very colourful and well designed to covery much of the torso.
The maracas are unique and have good quality green printing on them. An improvement could have been made by putting a bead in each maraca to make them shake. I guess this would have been expensive and difficult though.6 out of 7 people thought this review was helpful.
Better than the original Dracula figure and worth collecting.
Overall, this minifigure is *excellent*. Compared to the original Dracula, released in the “Studios” line, (see here http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=1381-1 ) there have been many, many improvements in almost all aspects.
The hair is a new mould. It gives the impression of hair that has been gelled very heavily, it appears very greasy. The mould has been designed in such a way that the forehead of Dracula is very exposed, more than you would expect.
The printing on the body is of high quality, though disappointingly there is only printing on the front. It is very detailed and you can clearly see a shirt, jacket and then coat. There are many more details and curves compared to the Studios original. The printing is clear and bright, as always.
The cape is interesting because of its smaller upright part. First you put on the cape like normal, putting the two bottom wholes over the neck, then you sort of “double fold” the second part over. It is very fiddly, but worth it for the excellent effect. The red cape from Studios Dracula seems to be of the same design. I think that both red and black are good colours. Ideally, it would be red on the inside, and black on the outside.
The accessory, the bat, is nothing interesting. I am sure we all have quite a few of those already.

A worth addition to your jungle
The caveman is one of the better figures of the first series, but is not the best.Good points:All elements are unique. The design of his torso and legs is convincing, and the printing itself is of high quality. The head itself has a cheeky grin and very thick eyebrows - and could be used quite easily to make other characters. The head is appropriately hairy, and reminiscent of Hagrid's head in the HP series.Bad points:The plastic is lower quality, this isn't particularly noticeable until you feel the hair and club.

One of the best from the first series
I praise everything about this figure.
All but the right arm are unique. The printing on the torso is very detailed with convincing "screws" painted on. The robot's face is quite scary and is perfect to be your typical evil 1960s robot! The helmet is well designed with antennae attached.
The quality of the plastic is moderate, but noticeably lower than that of normal Lego.
Nevertheless, buy this figure - it will make a great addition to your collection.11 out of 11 people thought this review was helpful.
