A close look at the LEGO Collectible Minifigures Disney 100 (71038) series shows the many new LEGO pieces introduced in these minifigures. At the top of my list is Stitch’s new double-arm mold. I love how LEGO created a new face print for my favorite blue alien.  Ernesto de la Cruz’s black-and-white color scheme and the impressive, intricate design on his costume, guitar, and Mexican sombrero truly stand out.

Each CMF blind bag is expected to retail for $5 across all LEGO brand stores and LEGO.com beginning May 1, 2023. Which is at the top of your list in this latest LEGO CMF Disney series? Let us know in the comments below.

This latest series consists of 18 iconic Disney characters that appeal to Disney fans of all ages, beginning with one of the very first animated characters introduced by Walt Disney and his team of animators back in 1927. It’s not an easy feat for LEGO and Disney to select which character will make it to the cut of this LEGO Collectible Minifigures Disney 100 series, but I’m glad how the final lineup turned out eventually.

Check out the details and product description of this latest CMF series, which will retail for $5 online and in-store.

Fellow LEGO fan site and insider Promobricks have just gotten a hold of what seems to be an early copy of the package insert (checklist) of the LEGO Disney Collectible Minifigures Series 3 (71038). This latest CMF Series is the third of a long line of collectible minifigure series that LEGO partnered with the House of Mouse since the series debuted back in 2016.

An Exciting and Fun New Series: The LEGO Disney Collectible Minifigures Series 3!

If you remember earlier this January, it was reported that this latest LEGO Disney Collectible Minifigures Series 3 series will include not just 12, but a whopping 18 new Disney characters given the LEGO minifigure treatment. This collection of new minifigs is all brand new and has never been seen before in any LEGO set in any variants whatsoever.

And just in time with Disney’s 100th-year celebration, this upcoming LEGO Disney Collectible Minifigures Series 3 craze will launch this May, alongside other LEGO Disney sets that mark the occasion. Thanks to Promobricks, we can now have an early look at what we can expect from this series. Take a look at the series’ package insert below.

Right off the bat, this newer version of Stitch is a must-have for me, together with that Magician Mickey from Fantasia. The inclusion of the gentle Baymax is really exciting and a very much welcomed addition to any LEGO Disney collection as well.

In case you need to know, here are the names of these new LEGO Disney Collectible Minifigures Series 3 characters.

Here’s What to Expect from this Upcoming LEGO Disney Collectible Minifigures Series 3!

As pointed out by Promobricks, it’s interesting to note the absence of an official Snow White minifigure in this series given that we already have an Evil Queen. I wish LEGO could have included the two in this upcoming CMF series since a proper LEGO Snow White minifigure is been a long time coming. Or perhaps its reserved for a future set? LEGO Ideas perhaps (wink, wink)? 🙂

When Will the LEGO Disney Collectible Minifigures Series 3 (71038) be Released?

The LEGO Disney Collectible Minifigures Series 3 (71038) is expected to be launched in May of this year, so we can expect its marketing and promotions anytime soon this March. And with the expected high demand for these little guys, be aware that third-party resellers might already have them stashed in some warehouses out there. Be on the lookout and let us know if you happen to spot these anywhere in your vicinity.

Special thanks once again to Promobricks for sharing this update.

While the recently released LEGO CMF Series 24 (71037) still enjoys a lot of attention, LEGO fans and completionists are now setting their eyes on the next series expected to be released in May.

Evil Queen with Magic Mirror (from Snow White, 1937)

This is a very impressive list if I may say since it’s not an easy feat to select which characters will get the LEGO minifigure treatment. Though I was hoping as well to see an official Snow White minifigure thrown in in this series, considering that LEGO has already released the classic Disney Princess’ Duplo and minidoll iterations.

The four-armed Stitch is number 1 on my list being a fan of Experiment 626 myself. Oswald the Lucky Rabbit is probably next considering the influence of the iconic animated character on Disney’s later characters.

So what do you think of this rumored LEGO 100 Years of Disney Collectible Minifigures? Do you think there are other characters that should have been included? Let me know in the comments below.
