In 2010, Lego finally realized that many collectors would often buy a specific set just for the unique minifigures it included, and so launched a collectible line of minifigs all by themselves featuring unique costumes and accessories not found in any other sets. At Lego Con 2022, the company revealed the 23rd series of these collectible minifigures (it will actually be the 40th if you count all the themed collections like The Simpsons and The Muppets too), which includes 12 new characters: Nutcracker, Sugar Fairy, Green Dragon Costume, Snowman, Reindeer Costume, Holiday Elf, Turkey Costume, Cardboard Robot, Popcorn Costume, Wolf Costume, Ferry Captain, and Knight of the Yellow Castle.
