Minifigure Museum: Lawn Gnome (Series 4)

After not having done a Minifigure Museum post in nearly a year, here I am with a second such post within a month.  You are welcome, internet.

For today, we are going back to Series 4 and the wonderful little Lawn Gnome figure. 

The Lawn Gnome comes with a fishing pole (with line) as his lone accessory.  I should also note that the Lawn Gnome has the shorter (non-bendable) minifigure legs which makes him a more appropriate gnome height! 

He also has a white "Santa" beard and a lovely green hat that folds forward.  Honestly, despite being a relatively simple figure he's pretty much perfect for the subject matter.  

Without his hat and beard on, you can see the Gnome has a rather "old person" looking face.  There's definitely Snow White and the Seven Dwarves vibes here though I'm guessing that LEGO would say it was nothing more than a happy coincidence at the time.

Here's the full checklist for Series 4 of the LEGO Collectible Minifigures:

As you can see, there are a number of great figures in Series 4.  Even better, I'm happy to report that I've managed to acquire all of them other than Viking!  I definitely need to track down that Viking though as I'd love to be able to knock Series 4 off of my LEGO Want List for good!

Overall, I enjoy the Lawn Gnome figure for the unique figure that he is.  I don't think this is the most useful of the collectible minifigures but he's such an iconic design that I'm glad LEGO included him in the set.  I guess you can make him look like he's fishing so that's something...

Yep, I had fun photographing this one!  

Special shoutout to my wife for all of her lovely flowers that I got to use as background for the Lawn Gnome.
