Lego Minifigures Series 16 Penguin Boy Review

Here we have one of the most adorable little minifigures of Series 16 the Penguin Boy figure. He's a cute little guy who is sure to be popular with collectors. There isn't much to him in the way of printing but the main thing I expect people to be interested in is his penguin mask.




The penguin mask is very similar to the chicken, dinosaur and other animal costume minifigures but I think this is the first time we've gotten a child in an animal costume. The mask is a unique mold and has a printed beak, eyes and  white pattern around the face. The face is only one sided but has a really cute childish expression. The arms are the same fins used for the Shark Guy figure of series 15 but for the first time in black. The black fins are also used for the Orca figure in the new Lego Batman Movie minifigure series which should be showing up in shops now. His torso has a very simple white patch printed on the front. He has small black legs with bright orange penguin toes printed on them. His only accessories are his ice skates which we have seen on a few minifigures now.


In summary this is a super cute minifigure which I believe will be popular simply because of the hat piece. The design is very simple with not a lot of detail but it still works and looks great. The best way to feel for this figure is look for the torso and check for the fin shaped arms.
