Here is a great article I found on the "Greatest Lego Collectible Minifigures" written by Kevin Guhl on the site, Topless Robot. What's your favorite?

They're all really cool! My personal favorites have to be Hazmat Guy and the Spartan.

The Spartan and Roman Centurion.

I like the Spartan, zombie, and centurion

Statue of Liberty

Hippie is cool. Classic alien's green laser makes a good short light saber for Yoda.

Lady Liberty and the Hazmat guy are both pretty awesome

Spartan and gladiator. But they're all cool and I own them all!

My favorite from the current set has to be the Galaxy Patrol minifigure.

I like the galaxy patrol, and I think the Aztec warrior is cool too.

There's only a couple in the Minifigure Series that I don't particulary care for. As for everything else, they're awesome!! In particular, I love the Classic (Roswell) Alien, the Rocker (80's New Wave) Girl, the Space (Blacktron) Villian, the (classic b-movie) Werewolf, the Intergalactic Girl, and (of course) the Galaxy Patrol. This may sound wierd, but the Ninja didn't impress me as much as I hoped it would. Yeah it's cool, but it feels like they didn't do much to make him all that unique. He just looks like any other Ninja from the 'Ninja' series. Atleast the Samurai Warrior was unique.

Lady Liberty

Cheerleader? Really? How did that make the list? Lol. I think I have to go with Lady Liberty as well. It is a nice alternative to the much larger and much more expensive version that exists.

...oh, and if anybody cares... I love the Vampire Bat from series 8. I have amassed a collection of 6 of them. I have always been a big fan of Halloween, and those fit right in.

Yeah really. How did THAT make the list? Or even the Bunny Suit Guy? I really like the Lizard Man (GODZILLA!!!!), though.

Same here, man! (On both parts)

For Series 8, my absolute favorite is the "Evil Robot"! I know he's a redesign of the "Robot" from Series 1, but this one totally hits the mark with me. Plus, he could totally kick the other guy's ass! Ha!

I'm going to have to go with the Spartan and the Disco Dude.

Man there seems to be a lot of thread necromancy going on tonight...

Hell's yeah! Now that is a classic arcade beat em' up!  Hard as hell though and you could have easily plugged $10 worth of quarters in a few minutes! Plus those guys' outfits were 'questionable' if you know what I mean. Still, those four words practically make up the most memorable line in video game history. Well that line and "Thank you, Mario, but our Princess is in another castle".

Thanks for sharing the list.  My favorite has to be the galaxy patrol trooper.  If I had that as a kid I would probably would have been content with just that one to adventure around with.

I have nine Galaxy Patrol, but Hippie is one of my favorites.  I know it isn't that popular...       The man bat is another amazing figure. 

Anything that moves and fights I like. Soldiers from these series are freaking awesome!

My favorites include the Series 9 Policeman, the Hazmat suit guy, and the Chicken suit guy. The Genie also looks pretty cool IMO.

Surprised a couple didn't make the list, including...

 

- Leprechaun

- Royal (British) Guard

- Santa

Jar-Jar Binks
