With Fornite Battle Royale Season 6 releasing, you know it's time for another custom LEGO
Fortnite Minifigures Series.
This is not an official series, and is just artwork drawn by Ashnflash, with ideas from
both him and I, based on what we think LEGO would put in a third Fortnite Series.
Our first minifigure is one of the Level 1 Battle Pass skins from Season 6 - DJ Yonder.
He has a new moulded headpiece, which will have some nice coloring on it - other than
that, he reuses 2015 Green Arrow's jacket zipper piece, with some great torso and leg
printing.
The accessories are the new OG Remix album that you can unlock far into the battle pass,
a printed 2x2 tile for the album and a circular 2x2 for the record.
Tricera Ops probably should've been in an earlier series - and with Rex in our second
one, it's clear Tricera Ops is a very popular design.
She has two new moulds - the top of her Bitemark axe, and her mask.
You will notice I dropped likeliness rates with this series, and that's because it's
the third series so the likelihood is so out of whack.
And, our third figure is the HIGHLY requested Skull Trooper - you guys asked for it since
Series 1.
However, I felt it was too similar to the LEGO Minifigures Series 14 Skeleton Guy in
design.
Then I thought… well, this is one of the most iconic skins, and let's be honest,
a lot of Fortnite skins are already similar to LEGO in design.
I'm sure they'd make a Skull Trooper figure, especially in a series with a lot of Spooky
figures.
Since I feel they'll bring the skin back into the shop for the Halloween time, I thought
a Shadow Stone is a fitting accessory.
It's a recolor of the Minecraft block.
There's the Wildcard figure, with a crowbar pickaxe, which doesn't use any new pieces,
except for the llama jewel, which has an anti stud at the bottom.
Yeah, this series, I wanted to use less new moulds looking at the feedback from our last
two series.
The other Level 1 Season 6 skin is here as well - Calamity.
Her hair / hat combo is a new piece, and the design is based on her third but not final
upgrade, sort of like what we did with Drift - this version is featured in a lot of promo
artwork.
She has a printed 2x2 tile of the map of Season 6 - this is a theme we'll try to do, spreading
the season maps across various custom characters.
Brite Bomber will appear as well, since she was a key character in Season 5, and has become
so much more iconic in the last few months.
We gave her a new hair piece, which previously for characters with similar in game models
we just used the basic 2010 ponytail, but it has gotten to the point where I think she'd
deserve a new mould.
Her accessory is the new saucer piece from the LEGO Harry Potter CMF series, with a cake
slice on it - a reference to the 1 year anniversary of Fortnite event.
The Merry Marauder made it in this series, since whenever this would hypothetically release
would be right before December time - though I'm sure the next season will have more
Holiday themed figures.
For once, there's no new pieces here!
Well, I mean, we do reuse our own existing axe head piece for his accessory - for the
You Shouldn't Have Axe.
Burnout is a heavily requested one, and he's in this series, with the Tactical Spade axe
as an accessory… which uses a new axe top mould.
Scorpion is a less popular skin that I think has a decent chance of making it in.
Her hair piece is a new one LEGO introduced this year in tan, and there's a new port
a fortress piece.
Giddy-Up is another Season 6 skin, and we based this off of the Series 18 Cowboy figure,
with a new mould around the neck for a llama outfit.
It was hard choosing a hair piece for him, we just went with the original LEGO male hair,
and we even gave him one of the new Season 6 axes - the Guided Glow.
And yeah… again, it's a challenge to not make too many new pieces this series, so like,
we didn't use any new pieces.
It's not perfect, but LEGO does skimp out on a lot of extra accessories on LEGO CMFs.
Another less popular skins that LEGO would probably shove in is Backbone, and HA!
No new moulds for this sucker either!
I'll admit it, while I don't care for the skin, Ashnflash made this figure look
super cool, with the Mr. T hair and printing all around.
As an addition to keep the themes of the characters varied, we're covering Castle - with Red
Knight, who uses the same helmet piece as Black Knight from our first series.
Her accessory is new piece for a shockwave grenade.
Season 5's Road Trip, I mean 2015 LEGO Kylo Ren, I mean The Enforcer, is in this one.
The only new piece is his hood, as his rift-to-go is made out of the small technic ball, and
the LEGO fez piece.
Peekaboo, one of the last skins released in Season 5, would make an appearance.
As ugly as I think this skin looks, LEGO loves putting clowns in their series, and we've
never had a scary clown.
She has a new mask piece as the accessory, that combine the hat and hair all into one.
We included the new Series 18 ponytails in red, which you can see her face underneath
has some printing as well.
Keeping up with the spooks, Dusk is here from the Season 6 Battle Pass, using a new hair
piece.
We almost used the Nya hair from the LEGO Ninjago Movie sets, but I felt the back needed
to pop up.
Also, I would believe this new piece would be rubber, to allow for the more complex purple
coloring at the bottom.
BUT.
Here's where I fail my challenge, because she also has two new pieces.
A dragon mould, and back bling to fit the pet dragon.
Three new pieces all together may be too much - but we do reuse the backbling with another
figure… you'll see who later.
Power Chord is a pretty rare skin that was back in the item shop recently, and she's
making an appearance here.
Her hair piece is new and would probably be rubber, and her accessory is the Power Guitar
backbling on a neck holder.
Archetype makes an appearance here, reusing the existing LEGO hood piece with some printing
up top, and the Caliper axe as an accessory - that top is a new mould.
Triple Threat covers the sports world, and while we had her male counterpart last series,
I think the design of her is unique enough to have her here.
I love the new hair / hat combo we made for her, and the accessory is a basketball from
the basketball emote.
Speaking of female counterparts, the Ace is here.
The base figure uses no new pieces, that's a felt cloth for the skirt by the way.
Funny enough, her suitcase is Wildcard's backbling.
The grapple gun uses a new piece at the end - it can't shoot unfortunately, but the
base is the ray gun.
And, our final Series 3 skin is Dire!
This is the Level 100 Battle Pass Skin, and is based on his middle upgraded version from
my understanding.
This uses a new werewolf headpiece, and his accessory is the second use of the pet holder
black bling, with a new dog piece as well.
Canines gotta stick together, man, no matter what size they are.
Either way, here's all of the minifigures in this series all together!
You can see how wide the range of themes and tropes are all around this time, and I even
used less new pieces in general.
Ashnflash did some amazing artwork here, so go check out his YouTube and Instagram linked
