LEGO Mixels Series 2 Blue Frosticons Photos & Release Info

Posted on by

I admit it: I thought that the LEGO Mixels theme was going to be a total bomb. But as it turns out, I was wrong: LEGO Mixels Series 1 is a bonafide smash hit! The nine figures that make up LEGO Series 1 Mixels have sold out in many stores and are difficult to find at retail (although all of the Mixels are in-stock consistently at the online LEGO Store), and many collectors are jazzed-up and ready for LEGO Mixels Series 2! And those fans are in luck–LEGO Mixels Series 2 will be arriving in just two months, including the awesome Mixels Blue Frosticons sets!

Flurr LEGO Mixels 41511 Packaging Mixels Series 2 Summer 2014 Set

I was a pretty harsh critic of the first series of LEGO Mixels toys, but for Mixels Series Two, LEGO has found my weakness: my utter inability to not buy ice-themed LEGO sets!

From Arctic Batman to the LEGO Arctic theme to LEGO Star Wars Hoth sets, I am a total mark for ice and snow-themed LEGO sets. So a whole ice blue tribe of Blue Frosticons Mixels…? You got me, LEGO. You got me.

LEGO Series 2 Mixels Flurr 41511 Blue Frosticon Figure Summer 2014My favorite of the first three LEGO Mixels Blue Frosticons figures is definitely the LEGO Mixels Flurr 41511. Presumably Flurr’s name is short for “Flurry”, which is cute, but not as cute as the flying ice-“dragon” beast! LEGO 41511 Flurr is probably the single most adorable LEGO Mixels creature yet, and for the first time I can’t wait to add a LEGO Mixel toy to my collection because of him!

41510 LEGO Mixels Series 2 Lunk Packaging Blue FrosticonsNext up we’ve get LEGO Mixels Lunk 41510, the second of the three Mixels Frosticons. I’ve honestly no idea where the name “Lunk” is derived from (any guesses, readers?), now am I entirely sure what type of creature Lunk is supposed to be.

LEGO Mixels Series 2 Slumbo 41509 Bag Blue FrosticonsThe third and last member of the group is LEGO Mixels Series 2 Slumbo 41509. His name is “Slumbo” and he looks sleepy–get it? …Yeah, I don’t think it’s all that funny either. Oh well! Regardless, Slumbo looks like a hard (albeit lazy) worker, and I think his icy claw hands are pretty cool (pun intended). LEGO 41509 Slumbo is my second-favorite Blue Frosticons Mixels set, and a day-one purchase for me.

The three LEGO Blue Frosticons sets and the rest of LEGO Mixels Series 2 is scheduled to be released in June 2014, and will be available through the online LEGO Shop and at retail stores that sell LEGO sets. The LEGO Mixels sets have been surprisingly popular thus far, so these might be a bit tricky to track down at retail for the first few weeks that they’re available.

How do you like the Blue Frosticons, LEGO fans? Are these your favorite LEGO Mixels yet, or are you not quite as hyped about the icy addition to the Mixels LEGO family of tribes as I am?

  1. I haven’t noticed any shortages, at least there’s plenty of Mixels in every Lego isle I look at. They are taking away space from the traditional polybag sets, I think.

    The monster designs continue to be mostly uninspired. The only thing that stands out to me is the occasional use of minifig heads as eyes and minifig hats or helmets as eyelids. If they were cute, like Pokemon, that would be one thing, but they seem to steer towards bizarre, like Monsters Inc., and most of them have positively derpy expressions on their faces, which does not make then endearing.

    The thing that seems to be the main value in this line is an easy source of pieces from specific color schemes, though it’s an odd mix of pieces so I’m not sure how useful that really is.

    I did recently see a Mixels short that was stop-motion (or CGI?) of the actual toys, rather than the cell animation style (no doubt Flash) and abstracted character designs of the usual shorts. That was much appreciated, but it still relied on the same type of humor where there’s no time to set up and execute actual decent gags.
