BrickBob Studpants Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 At first I was disappointed about Stan‘s lack of an alternate expression, until I realized there‘s currently no fitting hat-hair combo mould to cover up the back of the head I wonder which mould they‘ll use, I think it‘s either the police hat that‘s been around since CMF series 9 or the captain‘s cap that was introduced in series 10

But technically we have yet to see those two Yule Ball figures in their entirety, all assembled. We know what they will look like but we still haven’t seen those torsos with the correct heads, legs, and hair attached General question: do you guys think Stan’s head could potentially work for Krum? It’s not at all perfect but it does have facial hair that is fairly close to what Krum’s should look like. It may at least look better than the face they actually gave Krum. What do you think? Don’t think it would work at all. The spots and expression just don’t make sense for Krum in my opinion

Series 20 is very likely but the other two series are unkown .... I hope Stan will return later as a Death Eater! Stan was never a death eater, that was just a rumour / misunderstanding

lego_guyon02 Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 Minilegogo just posted some info on Fudge. He has reused printed legs (probably the same General Hux legs used on a lot of HP figures including Snape) and has a new torso

It works really well for all of them which is rare for a reused print
LDDproductions Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 For people wanting to switch out the face on Victor, I recommend the Poe Dameron face from TLJ or TFA. It’s not perfect, but I think it’s close.

lego_guyon02 Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 Macnair has no legprinting, a hood and his face printing is like black mask (whatever that means)
BrickBob Studpants Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 I guess Macnair has a new face print since there isn‘t any currently available that would suit him. Fudge on the other hand doesn‘t really require a new face print Ken Wheatley‘s from JW:FK might work?

I do see some kind of resemblance (although Wheatley looks a little younger) but I feel like Fudge would only use this face if they do give him a bowler hat, if they give him a hairpiece I'd rather have another (or new) face with an alternate expression.

I imagine they‘d go with the bowler hat, it‘s his signature headgear after all I wouldn‘t mind a new face print, but it‘d be kind of weird for them to design a new face print for a minor character like Fudge but resorting to recycling faces for the champions (minus Harry), Hermione and Dumbledore Sure, other minor characters such as Stan and Ernie get new face prints as well, but those are justified since there‘s nothing currently available that suits their unique appearances

If they reuse the one that's been around forever (the one that was used in the previous two Knight Buses) I will be severely disappointed. Speaking of severely disappointed, the Shrunken Head is not good. It's a fantastic head print, but not really fitting for that character, IMO. I'm planning on starting a thread soon about previous pieces/figures that were (arguably) better in their previous iterations: -Shrunken Head -Basilisk -Madame Hooch's cape -Snape from 2010 -McGonagall from 2010 etc.

I do agree with the others, McGonagall could've easily be fixed by one of the new dress pieces with a print but its still weird to me why they chose normal legs. Hoochs cape is also understandable as they now use a different material for capes. The Basilsisk in the GH was just a cobbled together build out of the remaining parts budget and was lackluster because of it.
Balrogofmorgoth Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 Personally, I think the new shrunken head is really good, it’s an excellent likeness. Having the hair printed onto the head piece makes it look a little odd but I understand the need for it since they need the exposed stud in order to hang it in the Bus
joeee Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 I think if Lego did not have budget constraints, for the shrunken head, they would've definitely made a hair piece with an exposed stud on top. I imagine the hairpiece can hold the head piece exactly how Lego did the lanterns. There is nothing to keep the 1x1 yellow piece in but it never falls out!
Jawaguy4 Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 If lego ever did follow the books (theoretically) give me a Lockhart from st mungo's please
HalfBloodPrince Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) C’mon guys, if Lego made a new hairpiece for the shrunken head, what the heck would they use it for after that? Lego isnt just going to get Lobo’s hairpiece and add a stud to it and never use it again. Edited March 22, 2019 by HalfBloodPrince

And besides that, there is no way a hairpiece with long hair would fit inside what is most likely already a relatively small space
