Monster Hunter
In most collections there is a drawer with a vampire, a werewolf and a mummy in it, and not one of them has ever had anybody chasing it. The Monster Hunter closes that gap.

LEGO prints a different code for each production batch and region, which is why one item has several. The scanner recognises all 3.
About this minifigure
The archetype is as old as horror fiction: a person who deals professionally with the things everybody else runs from. The line runs from Abraham Van Helsing in Bram Stoker's Dracula all the way to modern games and television built around hunting monsters.
Curiously, the Collectible Minifigures took years to get round to one. Now the older figures in the drawer suddenly have an adversary, and a whole shelf arranges itself into a story with a beginning and an end.
The scares here are adventure-flavoured, closer to a treasure-hunting film than to horror, which makes this a safe pick for younger fans of the darker stuff. In play it cuts both ways too: a hero tracking creatures one minute, the shifty stranger nobody in town quite trusts the next.
Did you know: In Bram Stoker's 1897 novel, Van Helsing — the template for every screen monster hunter since — is a Dutch doctor and professor rather than a warrior.
