A wolf for the Wolfpack
The Wolfpack Beastmaster comes with a new wolf element that will be useful in populating natural and forest displays. It might even be useful for the upcoming LEGO Ideas Twilight set in place of the brick-built wolf that was proposed.
New minifigure hair and a stylish scarf
The Pirate Quartermaster uses a new hair element with dense black hair tied up in a big bun using a red scarf. While it's used for a pirate here, nothing is stopping it from being used for any other LEGO minifigure as nothing is specific to the period.
A stunning cockatoo
The Pirate Quartermaster also comes with a new cockatoo with bright yellow plumage. From zoo displays and aviaries to the wider world of LEGO Pirates, this new bird piece is sure to find plenty of use.
Pterodactyl wings
Compared to the cockatoo and wolf, the Pterodactyl Costume Fan's wings are unlikely to be very useful, even when detached from the minifigure torso. Unless you're army-building a group of Pterodactyl fans or want more costumes for a convention or party scene, this is as specific as one other element in
A Pterodactyl costume head
The Pterodactyl Costume Fan also uses another specific piece in the form of a specialised Pterodactyl costume head that will be as useful as the wings.
The Bogeyman's head
The Bogeyman's new head element should be useful in depicting other kinds of monstrous characters and may serve the purpose of a head on a much bigger body nicely as well. Their printed expression is still fairly fearsome for any monstrous design.
A futuristic helmet
The Jetpack Racer's helmet may have once been envisioned for LEGO VIDIYO but despite the theme's retirement, it will still be a versatile piece next year. The red and white design and printed number may help it to serve as part of an outfit for many futuristic racers or police.
A fluffy cat
The new fluffy cat element featured in the Cat Lover minifigure will pair nicely with the cat-loving minifigure in
A longboard
Similar to the new cat, the LEGO longboard in
A new prosthetic for minifigures
The Astronomer Kid's new prosthetic arm pairs with another new element but it is a separate piece and together, they increase the representation of minifigures vastly.
A torso for minifigures with a limb difference
The prosthetic arm element can attach to the new torso that features a limb difference, similar to what was debuted in LEGO Friends earlier in 2024 for mini-dolls.
A three-pronged piece
Rounding out the new parts in the Astronomer Kid is a three-pronged LEGO element used for a tripod in this minifigure. Beyond this series though, this will be an incredibly useful element for positioning pieces at angles in various designs and for several purposes. We may see it used sooner rather than later for brick-built foliage similar to the existing LEGO grass element with three stems.
Smaller wings
Cupid in
A hamster head
Following the new pieces for the Pterodactyl Costume Fan, the Hamster Costume Fan's new head piece is similarly specific and probably won't be used elsewhere.
A plush toy piece
The new LEGO plush toy piece in the Plush Toy Collector minifigure already appears throughout the LEGO Friends 2025 sets with various designs to collect and it seems likely that the collection will continue. Otherwise, their round design may be useful in depicting smaller characters from various licenses, including Snowgies in Frozen.
