#15: LEGO Minifigures - Genie


Finally, we come to the last of the LEGO minifigures that I bought from series 6. As much as I like these, there's really not all that much to say. Like the minotaur, it's cool having a mythological creature since there aren't any classic Universal-style monsters in this wave. Aside from the Disney animated version of Aladdin, I don't think genies are traditionally depicted as having blue skin, so I'm assuming that was an influence here. The "appearing out of a lamp" lower body was apparently used for a ghost in a Spongebob Squarepants set, but this is the first time I've seen it in person. It's pretty cool looking, and is quite distinctive, ensuring easy identification in the packaging. I like the way it's shaped so that the tail end matches up fairly well with the lamp. I dig that oversized turban too!

  1. Even though the flying dutchman from the spongebob set came out first, I think this is what the tail was made for, since you're right...it does match that lamp suspiciously well.
