ree

One of the most colourful and characterful LEGO Minifigures series has leaked online, thanks to images found on Reddit. This latest CMF series follows on from the superhero-heavy 71050 Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Series, which launched in September, with a return to the standard numbered LEGO Minifigures series of Series 28. However, this series is a full lineup of twelve animal-themed costume characters...


71051 CMF Series 28: The Party follows on from the likes of 71010 Series 14: Monsters and 71046 Series 26: Space, with a numbered series based around a specific theme. This time, our first LEGO Minifigure series of 2026 is centred entirely on costume-style figures, building on the popularity of past single-character suits such as Pterodactyl Costume Fan and Hamster Costume Fan, which both appeared in 71048 Series 27.


Full Minifigure Lineup

Here’s a breakdown of the twelve leaked figures making up CMF Series 28: The Party Animals:


Peacock Costume Fan - One of the most vibrant costumes in this series, the Peacock Costume Fan features a bold and colourful peacock tail piece, the exact same element that was used for the Turkey Costume in 71034 Series 23. A small sunflower flower build is also included as an accessory to contrast nicely with the mainly blue and yellow figure.

White Cat Costume Fan - A feline-inspired figure, but this time with an entirely white cat head piece, torso and tail, along with a ball of pink coloured yarn.

Fish Costume Fan - There's something a bit fishy about this figure with a brand new headpiece featuring large fish-like eyes. The head piece extends down the figure to the torso and waist to recreate fish fins, matching the orange fins that replace the standard LEGO Minifigure arms.

Monkey Costume Fan - Somewhat a throwback to the Gorilla Suit Guy in Series 3, this time we're getting a LEGO Minifigure dressed entirely as a cheeky brown monkey. The figure uses a brand-new monkey headpiece with large ears, along with a tail, and, unsurprisingly, a banana.

Frog Costume Fan - Featuring a fun and very unique frog headpiece along with a bubble blower as an accessory. A printed bubble container is also included.

Koala Costume Fan - A nod to Australia, this figure features a brand-new koala headpiece and comes with two accessories: a leafy branch piece and a boomerang. One of the character's face prints also includes an eye mask.




Dalmatian Costume Fan - The LEGO Disney theme have released a few 101 Dalmatian themed sets in 2025, and in 2026, we're getting a Minifigure dressed up as an adorable spotted dog. The figure utilising a somewhat altered version of the dog head piece from Series 21's Pug Costume Guy, along with an accessory of a blue frisbee.

Crocodile Costume Fan - Another animal often found down under is a crocodile, which will also be releasing as a LEGO Minifigure on the 1st of January 2026. This character includes a very unique headpiece and two accessories of a yellow rubber duck and a pink and white lifebuoy.

Dolphin Costume Fan - The Dolphin Costume Fan follows a very similar style to Shark Suit Guy from Series 15, with the figure using a brand new moulded head piece that stretches along the back of the character. A clam shell is featured as the Minifigure's accessory.

Bunny Costume Fan - Plenty of LEGO Minifigures dressed as bunnies have appeared in the past, but Series 28's version is just as cute and fun as the rest. Bunny Costume Fan comes in a mainly tan colour scheme with a white chest. A bunny headpiece with one ear slightly down is included, along with an Easter themed accessory of an Easter egg and a brown basket.

Lion Costume Fan - The closest we've gotten to a LEGO Minifigure dressed as a lion is the Cowardly Lion, which featured in the LEGO Movie 2 series. This version, releasing in 2026, utilises a brand new head mould and comes in the standard, more cartoon-like lion of yellow and red/brown. A single accessory of a chicken leg piece is also included.

Parrot Costume Fan - Last but not least, we have another very colourful and unique Minifigure of the Parrot Costume Fan. Another new headpiece with a large beak features here, along with an accessory of a printed parrot snack box.
