The minifig bag & mini poster are the same as the previous #13 The Spaceman.

This minifig is to die for :wub:!, so my rating will of course be -> Posted Image

The M on the uniform looks a bit like this, doesn´t it?:

Thanks for the early review CopMike. How did you get a second one so early?

You finally got what you wanted, way to go CopMike :thumbup:
Thanks for the review, she certainly seems worth getting.

This is one of my favorite figs from series 1. The pompons, the torso, the skirt, it's a great fig. I just don't know what to make of her facial expression... :sceptic:

WOW! That's two wishes fulfilled by whatever genie of the lamp you have bottled up, CopMike. Better use your last wish on some more wishes!

She's fantastic-- was very curious to see how the pom-poms work. Now, all we need is a Lego (American) football player for her to cheer for!!

PS.. Sorry to go off-topic here, but I have a very specific and timely question posted in the REVIEW for the Off-Road Fire Truck and Boat topic, and was wondering if some of you more seasoned CITY guys might have some suggestions. Thanks!

Copmike, you don't deserve this girl. If the figures are available to me before EB event, I will throw random thick poly-bags at you, making sure though, by CT-scanning, that no cheer leaders are inside. :classic:

Finally, the best set ever has been reviewed! :tongue:
Great review, and those pom-poms look lovely. :wub:
Note how the word 'short' is the same size as 'small', but bigger than 'big'.

Shame about the part numbers being the same on both bags :sceptic:

Congratulations on finding the cheerleader, CopMike!
It's one of my favourites from the first series as well. :thumbup:
But it's a little cruel to tease us with those pictures months before we can get the figures ourself :hmpf_bad: :tongue:

Of course you can't tell the content by the number on the bag. Then the whole idea with random content wouldn't work, TLG isn't totally stupid. :wink:

Oh, I can't wait to get my hands on these minifigures. I would love to get this one a second time just for the parts, because I think I would like to collect and keep them all. Her face doesn't look very happy though, but it will be very useful. Thanks for the review! :thumbup:

How to ruin a potentially perfect minifig.
Did the team she's supporting just trash their chance to win?
Most overread phrase on S@H: "Sorry, item is not available in this country: Italy."

Another excellent review 'Cop Mike' - thanks for bringing us a babe ! :devil:
Her facial expression might be that way, either from exhaustion from dancing about or a little worry from being asked out by the captain of the team who dresses up as a large white police dog with black cap ! :laugh:
Great torso and leg printing plus those pom-pom's .....so COOL !
Keep on bricking everyone ! :sweet:

Wow, she really is nice! :grin:

Even though I'm a geeky-kind of girl, I don't have any disdain towards cheerleaders, mainly because there are so few of them in Finland. However, I do think this fig's facial expression is perfect for the clichéd airheaded image of cheerleaders - such vacant eyes, such a forced smile. :tongue:

So yeah, she's perfect for her role.
