Literary minifigs?

[ShilohCyan]

Not sure if this is a good place. 

 

So I got the modular bookstore and the free Christmas Carol set in the recent sale (my store was out of the mini adidas :/ ). I was gonna stick Scrooge in the bookstore and had the idea to just fill it with classic literary characters, but the vague naming of CMFs can make this difficult.

I know of "Mr. Good and Evil" and totally-not-sherlock Detective CMFs, the various totally-not-Frankenstein and totally-not-dracula, and little red riding hood from the Ideas book set. Totally-not-poseidon and some other greek myth characters. (The Journey to the West gang but I'll also have Flower Fruit Mountain on display so probably not). Who else is there? 

debating but might ultimately decide against characters like Harry Potter, Dorothy, Pooh, and Frodo since those are based on the movies rather than the books, but would still like to hear suggestions in that vein!

Swashbuckler? Shakespeare? Abraham Lincoln?

Fairytale Princess? Fairy? Wizard? Evil Wizard? King? Queen? Ice Queen (reference to Hans Christian Anderson’s Snow Queen)? King Ocean (referring to Anderson’s the Little Meramid)? Grandma Vsiitor?

Just a few minifigure ideas popped into my ideas for you.

What about Jungle Boy (reference to Tarzan or George of the Jungle books)?

not sure about classical sci-fi characters from books instead of movies but think one robotic minifigure should be great.

Recent CMF Shipwreck Survivor is a good Robinson Crusoe.

Do you mix fleshies and yellow figures?

I'd put Caesr and Shakespeare into the store. They could read each others work :D
