Minifigures Series 1 was LEGO's first release of it's collectable minifigures which nnow numbers in the dozens. The collection, like most in the theme, contains sixteen exclusive minifigures, many of which were based on concepts never seen before their release. Each minifigure was sold individually in foil polybags and came with a selection of accessories, a display stand, and a paper checklist. The opaque foil packaging was intended to make the minifigure a mystery, however, it was quickly noticed that the barcodes on the back could identify the contents.

Series 1, set 8683, was first released in March 2010 in the United Kingdom and was later released in June 2010 in the United States. LEGO initially underestimated the demand that these minifigures would create and in the United States supplies were limited, however this was not the case in Europe. Because of this, Series 1 remains a highly sought-after theme.
