Every new LEGO minifigure in the May 2026 sets

Dozens of new LEGO sets are launching next month, including some great minifigures inspired by toys, real people and Bionicle.

Whether you want a minifigure inspired by a footballer, a Formula 1 driver, another company’s toy or a classic LEGO theme, there’s someone in the May 2026 sets for you. Our latest video is taking a look at these new minifigures, so you can decide which sets to prioritise next month. Watch now to find out everything you need to know.

This includes the April 26, 2026, releases, since they’re close enough to May and feature some interesting additions, such as the new Grogu body.

It’s a diverse month for new minifigures, most of which come from 71052 Series 29. The new series of minifigures features 12 characters to collect, of which the Mysterious Ronin and Bionicle Cosplayer are all but certain to be the most popular.

Aside from the new series, there’s plenty of other minifigures to look forward to next month. The LEGO Editions minifigures based on real people, including footballers and Formula 1 drivers, are the first of their kind for these real people. They come in sets at a range of price points, too.

You can find out more about these new releases in our May 2026 before you buy guide, and look forward to the new sets from May 1.
