It's not uncommon ror LEGO to include two figures in a series with the same piece to confuse people. I think Larry's hair is thematically appropriate for the Spooky Boy as a male equivalent to the Girl's hairstyle.

I don't understand why so many people think he's going to be that different, though. He's named in the same way as the S12 figure, so he's intended to match her. I liked Robert8's suggestion, but I imagine he'll be more modern than Victorian.

On our usual leaker friend's site, there's a listing with dual-molded short legs, one being yellow and orange, which I think is new. How much you wanna bet it's in this series? Pink and dark pink is for Cheshire Cat.

The first ones are Bart's and Lisa's series 2 legs. The yellow and orange legs are prototypes of Nelsons legs from the Simpson's. I've seen the yellow and orange legs on there since last year and we're not getting them. So, there's nothing new here besides the Cheshire cat's legs.

The dual molded legs that simulate shorts is one of the most poorly executed ideas in lego overall for me. It just looks like a yellow stripe, nothing like shorts, especially on short legs. I think the bottom part should just be yellow.

They would be much better looking if they added a different color for the shoe.

Short legs just aren't that great overall, since they lack articulation. Other companies have proved this is possible, LEGO should catch up.

I wonder if the Devil Suit Boy will have dual molded legs

Those have never appeared in a regular CMF series

I'd personally prefer that the Imp have plain red short legs. Overall, it feels costume torsos and legs tend to not be very decorated, so I think his torso will be plain red, as well.

Speaking of short legs, the Penguin Suit's legs are plain black, which is diappointing. I was hoping for some yellow feet to match his beak...

They would be much better looking if they added a different color for the shoe.

The technology for that is there, at least for the normal, dual-color minifigure legs (see Captain Hook from the Disney Series). For the short legs, we've seen the dual-color molding as well as shoe printing, but not both together. I feel it's possible both could be used on the same part to make a different shoe color, but they'd have to make an entirely new mold if they want the feet to be a different color of actual plastic.

Different color for the shoes would be an improvement, but I still think the shoe part should be much smaller unless they are boots, just a line on the bottom would be fine.

The only shorts that look ok, are the ones on the lifeguard and surfer minifigs. imo.

100% Agreed. :classic:

The problem with articulated short legs is that when seated, they're the same height as when standing and look utterly ridiculous.

Small price to pay, in my opinion.

I think they will print black shoes because they are trying to make him look more like a costume and less than an actual devil

Possibly. The black horns on his cap make me think there's black in other parts of his outfit too. However, I don't know if adding black would make him any more or less of a devil, because regardless of that he still has his basket to drive home that he's a costume.

I wonder if the Imp will come with a tail? Seems highly unlikely considering what can be seen on the blind bag, but it feels like LEGO is exploring the use of molded hip accessories (such as animal tails) more often than before, and a devil's tail would be a cool addition; I'm not sure they'd ever get an opportunity to make one again.
