Random Medieval Soldier Lego Compatible Minifigures Set from Temu

 


I was browsing through the building blocks category on Temu a couple of weeks ago and I saw this set of 12 medieval themed Lego style minifigures for around $9 CDN.  That works to about 0.75 cents per minifigure.

Here's how the medieval soldiers came in their packages from Temu.  They are unbranded and the packages don't have any set numbers on them.

The minifigures come packaged two per bag and you have to attach the hair, arms, hands and capes yourself.




Of the 12 minifigures, 6 are wearing a gray chainmail outfit and the other 6 are wearing a blue crested tunic.  All 12 of them come with a hard plastic cape in either black or red.  Each minifigure comes with a sword as well.  There are actually two females in this corps of medieval soldiers, which is something unique to this set.  You'll notice that every minifigure has a unique face, no two are alike.

Some bonus items in this set include 3 shields with dragon crests, a black cowl for one of the minifigures, and two dogs.  If you look closely, you can see that the two dogs come from different molds.

Overall the brick quality was excellent and everything fit together well.  The prints on the torsos were great too, except their wasn't any back or arm printing on them.  I especially liked the hard plastic capes instead of the flimsy fabric ones you normally get with these soldier sets.  The only improvement I would like to see on this set is if they all came with shields and extra helmets.


I'll most likely add these minifigures to my Lego compatible medieval buildings to enhance their displays.
