Minifig Spotlight 23.2: Stripe

Minifig Spotlight 23.2

Name: Stripe (Gremlins)

Figure ID#: DIM033

Year: 2016

Theme: Dimensions (Subtheme: Gremlins)

Info: From 2015-17, LEGO made waves with what was, at the time, a revolutionary concept in the gaming industry. Following in the steps of Skylanders and Disney: Infinity, LEGO Dimensions allowed you to purchase LEGO minfigures and sets and, through pieces containing microchips and a special platform, allowed you to summon said characters and sets into the game world to execute missions and progress the storyline. Through the unique Dimensions sets we were given special minifig versions of famous TV and movie characters such as the Ghostbusters, Scooby Gang, Simpsons, DC Heroes, and other Warner Brother holdings. The evil Gremlin leader, Stripe, was part of a 2016 “Gremlins” expansion pack that also featured the Mogwai, Gizmo. Utilizing the same leg mold as the “Faun” minifigure, Stripe was a one-of-a-kind character and has only ever seen just the one variation.

Did You Know: LEGO Minifigures Online

Recently we have seen a few offerings from LEGO in related to video games and crossovers with physical LEGO sets. No? I’m not speaking to the recent “Dungeons and Dragons” releases, or the on-going Mario and Sonic the Headghog themes. I’m referring more to the recent rerelease of the LEGO Star Wars game, along with LEGO Worlds, 2K Race, Brawls, and even the LEGO Movie 2 game and the now defunct Hidden Side and VIDIYO interactive games. Back in 2014, the LEGO Company teamed up with Funcom to bring us “LEGO Minifigures Online”. A tie-in with the “Collectible Minifigures” line (CMF), the game played like a typical RPG with dungeons, PVP and PVE activities, and character design and leveling. One awesome feature of the game, which has been only poorly replicated in 2K Race, Hidden Side and VIDIYO, was that you could buy minifigures from certain runs of the CMF series and, by using the code provided inside the package, import your minifigure and their parts into the game. Then you could use
