It feels quite a while since we last covered the latest news on the next LEGO Collectible Minifigure Series but that's because the second series of 2024 leaked late last year. Even before 71045 Series 25 hit shelves we already had leaked images of the next LEGO Minifigures series which was scheduled to be released four months later. But as that release date edges ever closer we now have more leaked images...
The second CMF series of 2024 that we're discussing is the previously rumoured 71046 Series 26. But the collectable LEGO isn't just the 26th numbered series, it's an entire series based on LEGO's recent exploration into Space. The series will include a range of colourful classic Spacemen or Space-themed Minifigures from past LEGO Space themes along with a mix of new ones once it releases on the 1st of May 2024.
A ton of references to LEGO Classic Space, including a Classic Space robot, a retro Spacewoman, an M-Tron redux, an Ice Planet redux accompanied by a Space Penguin, and a mutated Blacktron are included in the series. Alongside these are more modern figures such as an alien in a UFO costume, a grey alien tourist, an alien insectoid, a modern astronaut character, an Orion Minifigure and a Space Nurse.

The Packaging & Checklist
The second Minifigure series of 2024 coincides with LEGO's recent push for Space in 2024 with plenty of branding on a range of sets in many different themes. That Space branding is further exemplified here in 71046. The continuation of the blind boxes sees eight of the twelve Minifigures represented with a beautiful purple background behind all of the exclusive figures. A slash of grey with the classic space logo can also be seen on the box.
The unique purple for a CMF series continues on the checklist where a couple of hints of pink are also included. The aim of the purple and pink is to create a mystical galaxy far away from our own Milky Way. A small Series 26 logo can be seen in the top right of the checklist along with the twelve to collect sign which has become the norm over the last couple of years.
