New LEGO® minifigures are popular with collectors and builders every year. Many new figures with unique prints, accessories and parts will appear again in 2026. Especially interesting for MOC builders, these minifigures often introduce new hairpieces, torso prints and accessories.
In this article, we look at what trends can be seen in new LEGO minifigures and which parts stand out.
Many new LEGO minifigures first appear in large sets. Licensed themes such as films and games in particular often include exclusive figures with unique prints and accessories.
These minifigures usually stand out because of:
- New torso and leg prints
- Unique hairpieces or helmets
- New accessories for minifigures
- Special facial expressions
For builders, these are interesting parts because they offer new possibilities for custom minifigures.
In addition to new minifigures, LEGO also regularly introduces new accessories. These include weapons, tools, backpacks and other equipment.
These parts in particular are popular with builders:
- New hairpieces for minifigures
- Helmets and head accessories
- Tools and accessories for city figures
- Printed accessories and tiles
These parts are often used later in MOCs and custom minifigures.
New LEGO minifigures often show which parts LEGO has recently developed. Some accessories and prints later appear in multiple sets and therefore become popular among builders.
In addition, exclusive minifigures are often sought after by collectors, especially when they only appear in one set.
With separate parts, you can easily build your own minifigures. Check out the range of LEGO minifigures and accessories at ToyPro, for example, and find out which parts fit your creations.
