A view days ago, it came to our attention that LEGOLAND Billund is running a new promotional that coincides with the theme park’s 50th anniversary. So what better way to celebrate it than with the newest, coolest Banana Guy in town. Promo Bricks first spotted this latest LEGO seasonal collectible minifigure set via LEGOLAND’s promotional add, with the promise of a much closer look later on.
True to their word, Michael of Promo Bricks made a very comprehensive review of the LEGO Seasonal Banana Guy (5005250) set. The original text is written in German so be sure to have your Google Translate turned on if you’re browsing using Chrome. Here are some of closer images of this new Banana Guy minifigure courtesy of Promo Bricks. Be sure to check out their full review for a better appreciation of the set. For now, check out these images. Just click on them to have a better look.
I like how this newest iteration of one of LEGO’s most popular costumed minifig turned out, particularly the minifig’s tropical themed shirt, green pants, and flip flops. The legs are dual molded, while the torso has front and back prints which turned out nice. It comes with a single sided head print. The orange boom box accessory is also a nice addition to the set, giving this new minifig a more hip and chill out look. The box art itself further adds to that tropical feel with its festive juice bar display.
I do hope that this set lands on US shores and the rest of the globe. Thanks again to Promo Bricks for sharing these images, and be sure to stay tuned for more updates here in the Brick Show.
My son just scored one of these minifigs while trading figs at legoland florida. I had no idea what it was and couldn’t find any reference to it on bricklink or the other sites I frequent. This blog is the only place I could find a reference to it. It’s a pretty cool minifigure.
Glad to help on this one. I’m a fan of the little guy from LEGO CMF Series 16, but I have to admit this recent version is way cooler.
