Might be exactly what we’re getting. Anyways, both sets look fairly cheap with is nice. I despise the new PPG but I’ll probably pick these up anyways. I prefer the playground set over the other in terms of design. An actual full blown Cartoon Network them sounds like a dream. I don’t know how realistic it would be, however. A lot of characters from certain shows would need specially molded heads to look accurate, (Courage, Gumball, Billy and Mandy) so maybe a CMF series like the Simpsons? But then other shows have the potential for some really interesting sets (Steven Universe, Ed Edd n Eddy, Kids Next Door, Dexters Lab) so it’s a toss up. And would the Ed’s need molded heads or would Black Panther type caps work? Same with Dexter, molded head or could he look good with a unique glasses and hair combo piece? If anything, I’d expect Adventure Time and Teen Titans Go! to receive sometime soon. The latter (sadly) has a higher chance since DC is already so beloved by Lego and they have a theatrical film coming up. Quote
TheBrickPal Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 These sets are fine. Not awful, but fine. Mojo is definitely the best thing to come out of them. I don't really have an interest in purchasing either. Can't wait to see the Unikitty! sets, though! Quote

But, nonetheless, the sets' age range is suggested for six to twelve year olds. I don't really care about this license or franchise, but, I hope this theme doesn't begin and end with only these two sets, because otherwise Avatar will end up having company. Quote
sander1992 Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 I think that these two will be the only sets for the theme. Quote

Borex Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 That Mojo Jojo could be good. The other set is not really my cup of tea. Too much random stuff and not interesting figures. I have to buy some of these for my wife, so i think i’ll buy the dimensions set with blue and pink one, and the mojo jojo set with green (and the pink one) and even an unicorn. So i’ll have all the cute stuff and mojo jojo and i can play their world in dimensions: win win win. Strange that they went for princess morbucks instead of the Mayor btw Quote

I have never heard of her, but then again i never was a super big fan of the show. I did like the whole style they went for back in the days. After googling their episodes i just found out that the purple squid from the dimensions set is actually used by Him lol. I totally forgot about it. Him is probably too weird for Lego. Quote
RedHoodPug Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 Dang, if it wasn’t for the figs, those sets look like they fell asleep in the 80’s and were recently woken up. Incidentally the source for those on IG has been pulled. Quote
TheGlynreaper Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 err looking at the leaked images they don't really look that great something just feels off but I still want mojo jojo though Quote
Justin Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 I'm liking the sets already. The colors of the various LEGO elements are true to that of the 2016 incarnation of the cartoon. We get in addition to the girls, Princess Morbucks, Mojo Jojo, Donny the Unicorn and Octi the Octopus. Quote

Justin Posted February 14, 2018 Posted February 14, 2018 The setting of the first set, 41287 - Bubbles' Playground Showdown is the Townsville Midway Elementary School during a battle with Princess Morbucks on the playground, while the setting of the second set, 41288 - Mojo Jojo Strikes takes place in downtown Townsville during a battle with Mojo Jojo outside of a jewelry store and an ice cream parlor. Mojo Jojo appears to be driving his red convertible from the Winklegruff Gals episode of the current Powerpuff Girls incarnation.

Falconfan1414 Posted February 14, 2018 Author Posted February 14, 2018 The power puff sets are coming in August Quote
Justin Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 The LEGO Powerpuff Girls minifigs have been revealed: Source: http://thegeekiary.com/rick-morty-ben-cartoon-network/50069 Quote
x105Black Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 I've gotta have that Mojo Jojo. Octi is cute, too. Quote
Robert8 Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Hmmm Mojo looks ok But Octi looks terrible, IMO. He needed a new mould for the body. It doesn't look like a stuffed animal Quote
Ultron Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Mojo looks so good! Princess is pretty good. The prelims did not do her any favors Quote
Falconfan1414 Posted February 16, 2018 Author Posted February 16, 2018 Let’s just say according to the official licensing announcement it seems we will get more powerpuff girl sets in 2019 as well Quote
Digger of Bricks Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 I'm surprised to see that Mojo Jojo has his head partially brick built, as Lego could have just have completely molded it all-in-one. Now I'm not familiar with the TV show, but is that for a reason, as so his brain can "grow" in size? Also, lilac recolor of the tutu piece for Morbucks, if anyone ever needs that for something else. 6 hours ago, Falconfan1414 said: Let’s just say according to the official licensing announcement it seems we will get more powerpuff girl sets in 2019 as well Well there better be, as I'd be annoyed if only two sets were released for an entirely new theme. It's not so much that I care about it, not at all really, but tiny fragmented lines just annoy me particularly. Quote
Captain Nemo Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Finally some pictures of the figures, even though we've seen half of them already...I'm disappointed that they Powerpuff Girls themselves are seemingly identical to their Dimensions counterparts, as it would have been nice to get some new face prints. On the others though, I'm really only happy with Mojo. Aside from his cape, which as those weird revamp-series Batman-style splits, he looks great. 56 minutes ago, Digger of Bricks said: I'm surprised to see that Mojo Jojo has his head partially brick built, as Lego could have just have completely molded it all-in-one. Now I'm not familiar with the TV show, but is that for a reason, as so his brain can "grow" in size? In the original show, his brain does not grow more, but it initially grew so large that it protruded from his head--hence the domed cap he wears in battle. Interestingly I wonder if the set will included a pink 2x2 dome piece to depict his head without the helmet (I'm betting they won't bother, or care ). But it's the thought that counts? I will say, I'm supremely disappointed with Princess Morbucks. Almost infuriatingly so--and especially so if these are the only two sets we do end up getting. Civilian clothes? Really Lego?! Why wouldn't they put her in her far more iconic and useful yellow-evil-reverse Powerpuff Girl uniform?! Uh! I hate when Lego makes just stupid choices. It undoubtedly took more effort to design and produce her civilian clothes than it would have to produce her iconic villain suit. Ridiculous choices Lego! Octi is like whatever, and I don't give a crap about Donny or any of that new-age revamp-series garbage. Classic series all the way. But whatever I'm gonna buy all the sets, and Lego knows that.

Justin Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 What I'm interested in, is what the final pictures of the sets will look like. Quote
MatthewRC Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 Does anyone know if LEGO will reveal more details on these PPG sets at San Diego Comic-Con this summer? Quote
