Minifigure of the Week
by Nic Laflin
71045-6
This week I would like to share 71045-6 Mushroom Sprite! This is the 6th minifigure in the 25th series of collectible minifigures. Released in 2024, this is my favorite minifigure in this series and might be top 5 of all time. I love everything from the cap to the butterfly!
