Halloween 2026 LEGO Minifigs

For the past couple years, I hit up Temu to look for not-quite-LEGO Halloween-ish sets for a new place for my minifigs to hang out but I didn't see anything that grabbed my attention this year, it was mostly the same stuff I found last year. So I just recycled a section of the set I got last year.

 

 If you're lucky enough to have a LEGO store nearby, you've probably passed by the build your own minifig station and every year they have some new Halloween ones to build. They tend to release the first week in September so if you're just finding out about them now, they may be hard to find.

 

First up is a girl werewolf trick or treater. When you build these, you get one accessory per figure and there are tons of things you can pick. I will usually look at the "official" photos and grab the accessory they show, even if it's kind of boring like this lantern.

 

There's some great detail on the torso with little tufts of fur and candy stuffed in the pockets. On the back, you can see the buttons of the costume.

 

 Next is a zombie woman. Unlike the other two, this one seems like it might be an actual zombie instead of a costume. But then, when was the last time you saw a zombie smile? The hair is pulled back into a ponytail that would probably look good if you were making a Mother minifig from Psycho.

 

 Rounding out the 2026 gang is Frankenkid. The lightning is a great accessory and not a piece you see a lot outside of the Emperor. His hair would be perfect for a Moe Howard minifig! It's hard to see with the black on black but the bottom of his legs are black to make it look like boots. Like the werewolf, he's got some candy stashed in his pocket.

 

 Trick or Treat!

 

I just had to show off these cool trick or treat sacks from Crazy Bricks again so more people can find them and see the other goodies Crazy Bricks makes.

Halloween Hot Wheels 2026 - Rockin Railer

 Typically, I've done Halloween Hot Wheels Wednesday because I like alteration. But with only four Wednesdays this year and five Hot Wheels, I've changed it up. Yes, I could double up on one post but then that's a whole other post I need to come up with. 

 

I'd forgotten to order these in advance. Distribution is always seems spotty and I never know if they're going to turn up in a local store. One weekend, they were in my local supermarket and I grabbed the whole wave. There was no sign of them the following weekend! I have seen a couple popping up in Target but never the whole wave. 

 

Anyway, let's wave that green flag and start things off with the card art.

 

 

I'm really loving this year's design! You kind of got a Halloween Smokey and the Bandit chase going on leaving a trail of candy, a giant neon pumpkin, and a spooky...house? castle? with trick or treaters out front and a witch flying in front of a full moon.

 

 

 First in the 2026 lineup is Rockin' Railer. Every time I've had to type that name, my fingers automatically type Roller instead of Railer. This dragster was first introduced in 2023 and this is the sixth iteration. I can't imagine this would be easy to drive with the huge engine right in front of the windshield. But I guess if you're drag racing you're probably going in a straight line.

 

  

From the original card back: "Inspired by rail dragsters of the 60's, this speedster is always rockin' as it goes from 0–100 in 0.8 seconds. It will leave the competition in its dust while the exposed front engine rocks from side to side." And it does indeed, rock! When the car rolls along, the giant chrome engine rocks side to side.

 

I've seen a lot of collectors online grousing that this year's Halloween offerings aren't great but I disagree and think we got a really strong line up! Tune in every Friday for more Halloween Hot Wheels!

Countdown to Halloween 2026

 Welcome to the 2026 Countdown to Halloween!

 

 For the next 30 days, this blog is going into full on spooky mode!

 

Every day this month, I'll have a new post celebrating the most wonderful time of the year. There's a whole gang of us that celebrate this way. Head on over to the Countdown to Halloween blog to see the list of this year's crypt keepers.

 

For now, sit back, relax, and let Zacherle usher you into this most haunted of holidays. And if you have time, give the whole album a listen, it's great! This is one of those "change your life" albums for me. It's what really got me to dive into horror themed music. Of course, I was familiar with Rob Zombie, but I just had no idea there was so much more monstrous music out there.

 

It also introduced me to artists like The Bomboras, The Ghastly Ones, and The Dead Elvi.
