Animal Minfigures

LEGO does not specifically have "Animal Minifigures" as a standalone series. However, animals have been included in LEGO sets for decades. The first LEGO animals were introduced in 1983, with a bird appearing in a Fabuland set called Paulette Poodle's Living Room. Since then, various animals have been featured in different LEGO themes, such as domestic animals like dogs and cats, and wild animals like monkeys and polar bears. These animals are often included in sets to enhance the theme or add fun elements, but they are not typically referred to as "minifigures," which usually refer to human characters.

LEGO does not have a specific series called "Animal Minifigures," but animals are included in various LEGO sets across different themes. Here are some examples of sets and themes that feature animal figures:

• LEGO Friends - Includes a wide range of domestic and farm animals like dogs, cats, horses, and sheep.
• LEGO Creator 3-in-1 Sets - Features sets like the Wild Animals: Panda Family, which includes pandas, orcas, and penguins.
• LEGO DUPLO - Sets like Caring for Animals at the Farm include animals like horses, sheep, cows, chickens, and chicks.
• LEGO City - Often includes animals like dogs, cats, and birds in various city-themed sets.
• LEGO Ideas - Some sets, like the Kingfisher Bird, feature detailed animal models.

These animals are not typically referred to as "minifigures," which usually denote human characters, but they are an integral part of many LEGO sets, enhancing the play and display experience.

LEGO offers a wide variety of animals that can be used to enhance playsets and builds. These include:

• Domestic Animals: Dogs, cats, hamsters, parrots, and rabbits.
• Farm Animals: Horses, cows, sheep, goats, and pigs.
• Wild Animals: Lions, tigers, elephants, pandas, bears, and monkeys.
• Sea Creatures: Dolphins, turtles, fish, jellyfish, lobsters, and sharks.
• Insects and Arachnids: Spiders, snakes, frogs, and butterflies.
• Dinosaurs: T-Rex, Triceratops, Stegosaurus, and Pteranodon.
• Mythical Creatures: Dragons and unicorns.

These animals are not typically referred to as "minifigures," which usually denote human characters, but they are an integral part of many LEGO sets, enhancing the play and display experience.

While LEGO does not specifically have "rare" animal minifigures in the same sense as human minifigures, certain animal figures can become harder to find over time due to limited production runs or inclusion in special sets. For example, unique animal figures like certain dragons or exclusive animals from themed sets are highly sought after due to their rarity and popularity. These figures often command higher prices due to their exclusivity and the demand from collectors. Additionally, any animal figure that is the only one of its kind, such as a specific breed or design, can also be considered rare and valuable among collectors.
