Would be lovely if the four key staff characters - Lumiere, Cogsworth, Mrs Potts and Chip - all got mini figures alongside 'object' versions... feel it's the only chance to get these characters in mini figure form (but highly unlikely). Looking forward to the full reveal!

Hopefully also Fifi/Babette the featherduster. She's the only other character we see in human form besides the four you listed. But I agree, it's unlikely but I'd honestly rather have human form minifigs for the objects than LeFou or Maurice.

Maurice with his invention cart would be great..but I don’t think they ever include a minifig with the GWPs, so maybe just his invention cart and basement of inventions.

Another option would be the Beast's carriage/palanquin that's used to carry Maurice away from the castle and back to the village.

EDIT .. @JeanGreyForever I see what you mean about the legs, there could possibly be an 'animal' pair included too ? As you say this pair would be his boots. The gloves too, didn't realise until you pointed it out that he never wears white gloves. Good spot. Again like you said it's to save then having flesh / fur hand options. Even though we all do swap hands out for others, it's kinda frowned upon by Lego.

I think if he had a pair of animal legs, then those legs would be the ones pictured instead of what we got. It seems like Lego wants a minifig that only needs to have the tail removed and a headswap to transform him from Beast to prince. I also think the tail should have been given the Robin Hood treatment where the front and sides are colored to match his torso. Right now there's an odd thin line of brown breaking up his design.

The castle appears to be (amazingly) substantial, yet (rumored to be) priced $100 less than the current Disney Castle. Any word on piece count? …AND  Beast’s carriage would be a great GWP.

That happens all the time - Fell Beast, the Mickey Projector one, the upcoming Star Trek one, etc. 

If we do get a GWP, I think a 200-300 piece rose and belljar would probably be it.

I think so too. Their 'enchanted' forms can always be brick-built with items from BL. LOL

Historically, have they ever included an exclusive fig in a GWP? But perhaps the GWP will have some of the brick-built characters in a vignette?

Yes, they‘ve featured both exclusive prints and characters before (but no new pieces, obviously)  Examples include Aunt Beru, a Ringwraith, the 2018 Ollivander, the Christmas Carol GWP, and some entries in the series of vignettes with famous scientists/explorers/engineers/architects (Earhart, Goodall etc,).

Why tho? LeFou and Maurice have a lot more screentime and are equally unlikely to ever appear anywhere else  Ideally, they‘d include all of these characters, but it‘d be a miracle if the set included more than 5 minifigs. 

My prediction is thus Belle, Beast, Gaston, LeFou, and Maurice as minifigs and Lumière, Cogsworth, Mrs Potts, Chip, and maybe the cupboard (forgot her name) as brick-built characters.

Oh, and the Tim Curry CGI organ. Yeah, not gonna happen on any timeline in the multiverse, but that‘d be hilarious

What the hell? The one that Lumiere made out behind the curtain while children  (us ourselves) witnessed the whole sex scene?  And her human verison/ that’s prett sexism. No thanks. 

She never shows up in Kingdom Hearrts game. I only saw wardrobe, and other main staff characters including Chip.  No  feather duster in it.

She also appears in the live stage musical, and she is a crew member on Disney Speedstorm game. For me she is also an iconic character like the wardrobe or the dog. I would like to get her.

You should watch documental film about Disney movies  from the beginning of Disney to late 1990s….  I watched that in my college year and  I never thought about that before. That sexism and sex scene are defnitely conserversial among the female audience (along with thee alleged Stockholm syndrome around Belle).  Just saying, dude. 

I don’t  think it will hanpen for us to get her in lego form., Honeslty.

Lego has already made her in other minidoll sets, so I think it's possible to get her in the castle too.

What documentary is that? I'm a female viewer who loves Disney and I've never heard of anyone even talk about Fifi and Lumiere's little romp behind the curtains. This is the first I've heard of anyone finding that offensive.

As pointed out, she's been included in other sets before as a featherduster. 

Her human form only has the one scene posted below, but she's the only other character depicted as a human besides the main four of Lumiere, Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts, and Chip. Oh and Sultan the footstool in his dog form.

The human versions of the objects are the ones that are unlikely to ever appear anywhere else, outside of the actual castle set. LeFou and Maurice could still show up in a set for Belle's cottage or a village set in general. I think if they're including a transformation for the Beast into the prince, it would be nice to have the same option for all the enchanted objects, for anyone who wants to play out the happily ever after scenario. 

And personally I always found LeFou annoying. And Maurice is nice but so far Disney hasn't really made minifigs for any of the father characters or villain sidekicks.

The previous BATB sets tend to feature most of the objects including Wardrobe, Sultan the footstool, Fifi the featherduster, and also Chef Bouche the kitchen stove. I'd expect to see Chef Bouche because he's brickbuilt in the new Disney castle so it would be weird to have him there but not in the actual castle themed to BATB. Hopefully we can also see Chapeau the coat rack. I don't think he's been in any of the BATB sets so far but he'd be an easy make.

 It has been 10 years since i watched that documentary.  Not only BATB but  other Disney movies that had backlashes too, such as sexism, stereotypes, etc  That waas used in sociology class. I cou not rmemeber the title of that documentary, unforuatnely, but i would be interested to re-watch it.  I jsut don’t think a human version of that feather duster is okay because of the way she dresses.  Just like Jasmine from the classic Aladdin movie dressed up  to “seduce”  Jafar. I just don’t think we would get the feather duster in her human version as a minifigure, Honeslty.  However, you made a point taht she did only show up in her human form along with iconic staff members in the end . I’m just not a fan of stereotypical female stuff. 

As for a brief sex scene,, i felt it was stupid sexism . But i was not aware that there was a one in minidoll sets (I never care for minidolls). I guess the feather duster rom in lego form is okay.

I’m a  male feminisit who loves Disney movies, by the way.

Jasmine already exists in spades in Lego form - in both minidoll and one minifigure form. 

I don't think Fifi would be any worse than some of the old Castle figure, like this one:

Oh okay, a lot of Disney movies do get criticized for what I consider to be rather petty reasons. I'm used to hearing the Disney movies get called out for stereotypes and sexism but this was the first I heard that people were offended by the Lumiere and Fifi scene. Considering they're only enchanted objects, and not even compatible ones, I don't think they could do anything very inappropriate beyond kissing. In the third BATB movie, Belle's Magical World, Fifi even thinks Lumiere and Belle are having an affair behind her back. Actually if anything is offensive with Fifi, I think it's the scene where LeFou is gleefully pulling out her feathers. I feel like that could be metaphorical for sexual assault, so if anyone shouldn't be represented, it would be LeFou imo.

A lot of Lego female minifigs show cleavage or wear revealing clothing, particularly in the medieval sets. Even with Disney not allowing Slave Leia/Huttslayer Leia merchandise anymore, they still made her minifigure in the Sail Barge set. Jasmine's blue outfit is her main outfit she always wears. She only seduces Jafar at the end to trick him into not noticing Aladdin and her red slave outfit is pretty much identical to her blue outfit but without the shoulder straps.

I don't care for the minidoll sets either. I only paid attention to the BATB minidoll sets because of the enchanted objects as I would use BL to get the objects to populate my Disney castle.

That's nice to hear :) I'm glad Lego is catering to Disney fans now, even if I feel their sets and minifigs tend to be hit or miss.

Still i stand  against stupid sexism.

Yup i agree with you. A lot fo Disney movies do indeed revives in regards to sexism, ethnical stereotype, and others. I never thought of those classic movies until i watched that documentary. But i didn’t realized lego already have done that to minidolls and minifigures in Disney.  I jsut don’t know how likely we would get Fifi in that minifigure-focused BATB set but we I’ll wait and see!  I will be happy to be wrong. :)

I think most people are right that we won't get human minifigs for the enchanted objects at all. Disney never makes any merch for them and if I'm correct, Lego's deal with Disney is that Disney decides the sets and which characters to portray. So I don't think it's a priority for Disney. LeFou and Maurice are more likely but I can also see Lego skipping them.

Something no one's brought up is if we might see more minifigs for Belle and Beast in their other costumes. Belle in her blue village dress and Beast in his red cape.

I would like that too although it's unlikely to happen. But there's been some BATB castle products in the last few years which do depict the organ in the castle. I know Lego likes to include easter eggs, like the Winnie the Pooh set had references to The Tigger Movie. I don't know if Disney encourages those easter eggs or if they police what can or cannot be referenced.

Do we often get multiple costumed versions of the same minifigure character in the same set, though - especially in licensed sets? The only examples I can think of off the top of my head would be different versions of The Doctor in Doctor Who (though that might not even count), the Queer Eye set, the old Death Star sets, and Vader's Transformation. I think that's more of a minidoll thing, sadly - though I would love Belle's peasant dress!

The locket was just one piece, though: a full organ would probably take up a large chunk of space and a high part count, though, and there still needs to room for the ballroom, West Wing, and probably a dining room and library. Possibly Belle's room and a kitchen, the "Master's Room" with the fireplace, and maybe even a jail cell if Maurice is included. I just don't think there would be room for a full Tim Curry CGI Organ. At most, they might but some Christmas baubles or maybe a figure to represent the angel up near an empty "attic" section.

It's not usual, except in bigger sets from some of the major franchises like Cloud City which had two versions of Leia and Han each. Diagon Alley had two versions of Harry and so did Gringotts. Avengers Tower had three versions of Tony/Iron Man and two Caps but one of them was an alternate Cap. Like the Sanctum Sanctorum had three Dr. Stranges but they were all alternate versions of the character. The Frozen D2C set did have two versions of Elsa, but like you said, that may have been more because they were minidolls. With BATB, the castle set is so big and most of the cast can't be made into minifigures, which is why I'm wondering if they might feel the need to include more minifigs to justify the price tag and thus give us alternate versions of Belle and the Beast.

I think the ballroom, West Wing, dining room, and library are all guaranteed. The dining room is the stage for Be Our Guest, so there's no way they ignore that. And the library is one of the more iconic scenes of the movie and probably the favorite room for fans after the ballroom. Both the dining room and library are featured in the current Disney castle set, so it would be weird to feature those in a general Disney-themed castle but not the actual BATB one. Same with the kitchen since Chef Bouche is included in the Disney castle.

Belle's room is also likely just because that's where the wardrobe goes and most of these castle sets do feature a bedroom. It doesn't seem likely to make a princess castle set but not include a room for the princess. I can see the fireplace room being snubbed if there's a lack of space because it's not as iconic as the rest of the rooms. In the movie, the jail cell is part of a tower so if they need something small to fill up space in the main tower, it could probably be a cell. 

Good point that there's not going to be much room for a pipe organ. Below is a map of the castle interior and usually the pipe organ is in the topmost tower. There's really not enough space to fit it all in there. Your idea of an attic section with some Christmas stuff is more likely.

[strangely]

I'm quite impressed with the build of the castle so far. It seems like the ballroom might actually be two floors like the movie. Definitely looking forward to seeing more of the build.

I don't know if this has been brought up, but Belle's dress is a new print. Her collarbone is different on the torso, she now has chest lines. The ruffles on the dress are different and there's sparkles added to both pieces. It's interesting that they decided to update the design so quickly after the first version. Beast is a little bit of a letdown, a larger torso piece would have been much better to represent his beast form. The legs are also clearly colored for the end scene as the prince, rather than matching the ballroom dance scene.

I'm hoping they include alternate outfits for Belle and Beast. The ballroom outfits are nice, but I'd like to have variations that represent how they look for the majority of the movie, not just that one scene.

I would like to see them include Gaston, Lefou and Maurice too since they're important to the story of the movie. I expect all the servants that have appeared in the minidoll sets will appear here, I hope they improve Cogsworths design (he's the only one I haven't really seen them perfect as of yet). I don't imagine they'll include the human versions of the servants since they have so little screentime (I also just imagine they'll be stingy with the minifigure selection).

[Jarreth2]

The colour scheme of the micro version of the Beauty and the Beast Castle over on rebrickable is fantastic, but also I'm not sure I would want the new castle in that colour scheme, I think it works well for the small version model, which is much more complete, but would it work for this big version we're getting ? I'm not so sure 🤷🏻‍♂️

Agreed on Cogsworth. I recently went back and acquired all Disney sidekicks that appeared in mini doll sets. Obviously there are several BATB versions and there has yet to be a good Cogsworth.

I like the color scheme actually but it also seems to lean more towards cream. I think in the movie, the castle is more grayish than cream-colored.

I hope they include the exterior balcony to the ballroom. And also the cupids on the ceiling.

Glad to know for sure that this Belle minifig has sparkles. I'm not a fan of the sparkles so now I know I should definitely pick up that Target exclusive set to get a Belle minifig without sparkles. Wish we got sparkle-less versions of Snow White, Cinderella, and Aurora (along with more movie accurate colors and designs). And I suppose I should include Sorcerer Mickey in that list as well.

It does get a little annoying that Marvel, Star Wars, and Harry Potter can all get sets with about a dozen or even two dozen minifigures. Whereas even the largest Disney sets can only get a handful of minifigs each time. With Gaston, this is also the opportunity to give him a new print with the shoulder strap from his quiver on his torso. Or even his wedding outfit for a change. But I'm assuming he'll be identical to the previous Gaston minifigure.

[OttoRiver]

I'll say Beast is both exactly as I expected Lego would make him and yet disappointing all the same. I really miss the side leg printing and I'm bothered by the fact his tail is all brown. It looks odd with the figure and I wish they had painted the hip part black to blend in better.

The color scheme of the castle doesn't put me off, though its mainly because Disney has worn me down over the years of using the lavender, maroon color scheme for the castle every time they show it off that I'm just used to the choice (similar to Cinderella having a blue dress instead of her silver dress)

As for other figures, I think it depends on if Lego will count the enchanted objects as singular figures or as separate from the minifigure lineup. Belle, Beast, and the 4 main servants in human form would give us 6 and I think that's the best number we would hope for in a set like this. If the objects count, I don't see any more aside from Gaston as a reuse. Personally, I'd love to see Belle in her blue dress and Beast in his cape look included but I could also see those 2 variations being prime picks for a CMF series 4 when it comes to fruition in the future.
