We have seen enough dodgy translations in the past.

If you mean that the French list was poorly translated by Amazon.fr from Danish or English, that's entirely possible. If you mean my translation from French to English is dodgy, I'm afraid it isn't. There are other possible translations in addition to the ones I provided (such as "janitor" for "concierge"), but mine are correct.

Why does no one think the jewel thief is female? I'd expect it to be Catwoman without the animal theme.

I absolutely do think that. It's common for jewel thieves to be portrayed as female cat-burglars. I just have no interest in most modern day minifigures. Although, she could be wearing a really cool black outfit, and we don't get many females dressed that way.

Could the queen have that new dress piece that was seen in one of the Nexo Knights teaser videos?

I can easily imagine that it could. I also really hope that it is. While the piece isn't new, it's use as a dress is, and it would be a nice change from the traditional slope piece.

I am hoping you are giving TLG too much credit for political correctness. I can pull a moral issue out of almost anything. Cars pollute, butchers cut up animals, pirates rob and rape and if we had a ringmaster and it din't sound any alarms, i'm pretty sure an exterminator is fine.

So Sharky does have flipper arms!

I TOTALLY NEED that Classic Queen. She's fantastic. And she does use the larger "dress brick!" Is that Calamity Drone's hair? I was so upset that I had missed it before!

Clumsy Guy looks funny. The shirt is absolutely hilarious, and I love the crutches and bandage.

Forget what I said earlier. Count me in! Now, why isn't it really the New Year yet? I can't wait that long!

It does look like Calamity Drone's. It's not a bad piece to have a few of, so I'm not too vexed by its use here.

FLIPPER ARMS! CALLED IT! :grin:

They look great! Didn't really think it'd be an actual Awkward Man, but uh.. hooray! Crutches! Queen looks awesome, glad to see they're actually using that curved slope that people were recently talking about!

Thanks for the image!

The crutches are interesting. I'm excited about that Queen, she looks great! The flipper arms, I'm a little torn on. I think I might have preferred arms, but those might be cool.

Now let's see the rest of them!

Doubt it. I'm willing to bet that if he comes with crutches they'll be pretty similar to the BrickWarrior ones.

You sure? I'm pretty positive LEGO wouldn't change the mold in the image...

So it looks like a female animal control officer that catches stray cats and dogs. I hope she comes with a new dog print. I think the other character is a male jewel thief, but he looks so plain.

I thought those were just generic City themed people behind. Well I'm not into the Animal Control Officer, although I might be interested in the animal. And if that's the Jewel Thief, I am disappointed. I was hoping for more of a cat-burglar. He looks more like a soccer fan with a vuvuzela, but I get the New Years celebration so it's probably not that at all.

So is that other guy the Astronaut? If so, again, disappointed.

Those are not the Astronaut, Animal Control Officer or Jewel Thief. Those are all from the CITY sets.

I didn't think we were getting a queen until next series.

Question is, will Clumsy Guy have bent arms? :look:

Definitely not! :tongue:

I also called it! :grin: Shark costume guy is 100% Left Shark. And his head is indeed peeping out between the teeth! Very amusing!

So, regarding the figures we've seen,

Qu3en: Gorgeous! Calling it right now, the dress is a new piece. not 4/2, as the old piece, but 4/1. She's a must buy! While I will likely only purchase one of her (she really does go well with the recent king figure!) What I am most excited by is the dress piece. I expect to see its reuse (perhaps extensively) in the upcoming Disney line. The hair looks nice too. And the cloak will of course be lovely. This gives me hope we will get that Marie Antoinette figure soonish! :wub:

Clumsy man: so many people have been clamoring for this one. It's nice. Didn't expect crutches.I'll need to get at least one of this guy. The head bandages are really nice too! I'll certainly get a few of this guy for the accessories! I'm not too interested by the figure itself, but I don't particularly get interested by City figures unless they're particularly useful for other (sci-fi, typically) themes. Banana shirt is hilarious. Poor bloke.

Shark Guy: Left Shark. What the heck Lego?! :laugh: I'm sure they decided on this immediately after seeing the Keshia performance and this was as soon as they could reproduce it. Hilarious! I'll get one, but I have no idea what I'll do with it. :wacko: I like the flippers. I wonder if we'll see them again ever. Doubt it.

Only thing I don't like is the tail. Also, If the Queen's dress is that thin, well.. it's a little too thin.

The guy in the orange shirt is likely the Dancer, as in Russian ballet.

Steering Wheel Warrior, Winged Warrior, or Flying Warrior? If it is Flying Warrior, it could be something like the classic pulp fiction Rocketman. If the Steering Wheel Warrior is the closest translation the fig could be something like Vin Diesel or the late Paul Walker of the Fast and the Furious movies. Winged Warrior could be Valkyrie, and that would be a boon to Castle/Historical/Fantasy builders.

I am still hoping that the Wrestling Champion is female, like my guess.

The queen looks great. I would have preferred a new crown piece, but the dress more than makes up for it.

I hope the scary knight is good. Can't wait to see pics of that one.
