BrickBob Studpants Posted January 28 Posted January 28 (edited) Thanks to the ever-reliable Maxbautde, we have the full list of Shrek CMF figures, and it turns out it’s the theme codenamed “B”! The line-up features: Shrek Fiona (ogre) Dragon Gingy Lord Farquad Pinocchio Executioner Prince Charming Fairy Godmother Big Bad Wolf Merlin Puss in Boots One of the sets is 72423: Buildable Shrek & Donkey. This leaves 72421 and 72422 A BrickHeadz set (40923) is also part of the line-up! Edited January 28 by BrickBob Studpants Quote

BrickBob Studpants Posted January 28 Author Posted January 28 72423 also comes with a Puss in Boots minifig! I wonder how it differs from the CMF version. It’d be hilarious if it was the FA version Quote
spiderfan2000 Posted January 28 Posted January 28 (edited) Dragon as a minifigure sounds like an odd choice, considering she could've easily taken up a set on her own. It'd also be a bit weird if we only get a Gingy minifigure and not a microfigure. Surely Donkey has to be included as an accessory with someone, which makes me wonder if we'll get other non-minifigure characters included as accessories in this series. Some of the character choices, such as getting Merlin over Artie, plus the apparent lack of anyone specifically from the fourth movie seems odd. I wonder if in the future, we'll get a full wave of sets, or perhaps a second CMF series for this license. Edited January 28 by spiderfan2000 Quote
JeanGreyForever Posted January 29 Posted January 29 I have no idea how the dragon would work in minifigure form. Merlin is also such a weird choice. He's not really a popular or major character and he's from the worst movie of the series. The ugly stepsister, the king, or the queen would have made more sense. Quote
CloneCommando99 Posted January 29 Posted January 29 Dragon should be her own set Gingy should not be in the CMF. He should have been the figure in the buildables. Not Puss. 4 hours ago, JeanGreyForever said: Merlin is also such a weird choice. He's not really a popular or major character and he's from the worst movie of the series.

It’s not gonna happen, but how awesome would it be if the CMF version of Puss was actually based on TLW, and the set version based on Shrek 2? I love the Shrek movies (minus the third one), but nothing else Dreamworks ever did beats TLW in my eyes Edited January 29 by BrickBob Studpants Quote
spiderfan2000 Posted January 29 Posted January 29 (edited) It'd be funny if one of the Puss minifigures had his iconic "cute eyes" expression... Edited January 29 by spiderfan2000 Quote

Legopls Posted January 29 Posted January 29 As a Dutch speaker, I understand a little bit of German, and from Maxbautde’s video I think I was able to understand that two sets have been postponed because they are based on Shrek 5. Not sure if my German is good enough though! Quote
Murdoch17 Posted January 29 Posted January 29 (edited) I was 7 or 8 when the original Shrek came out, and I wasn't impressed with it or the sequels. I will be skipping this LEGO theme. Edited January 29 by Murdoch17 Quote

He said they were either postponed or cancelled, but he thinks it’s the former, which makes a lot more sense So 72421 and 72422 are mostly likely based on the 5th movie. In the video, he also said that Shrek and Fiona will have specialised head pieces rather than the standard minifig head, which I think is for the best! Edited January 29 by BrickBob Studpants Quote

Yeah, it seems odd that the majority of the characters are from the first two movies, which are easily the most popular of the series, but then they left one spot for Merlin. Shrek Forever After is more popular than Shrek the Third so it would have made more sense to include Rumpelstiltskin. Maybe if there's a second series. Quote
spiderfan2000 Posted January 30 Posted January 30 I'm hoping that we at least get Shrek's Swamp and a buildable Dragon next year (presumably with some Shrek 5 minifigures included) It'd be really easy for LEGO to do at least one more CMF series, considering at least a third of the characters included in the series that we are getting have multiple potential variants that could be made, and the number of notable characters still unaccounted for as minifigures entirely for is pretty large: Monsieur Hood King Harold Queen Lillian Artie The Princesses from Shrek the Third Poison Apple Villains Everyone of note introduced in Shrek Forever After Everyone of note introduced in the Puss in Boots movies Potentially Shrek 5 characters if the sets don't include everyone of note I'm not sure if LEGO would do the Three Little Pigs as full-fledged minifigures, but they could potentially be added to the list too.

Legopls Posted January 30 Posted January 30 A big Far Far Away D2C (or even playset) would be a dream come true. But I doubt it will happen. Quote

The ‘logic’ of Donkey as an accesory coming with the Dragon would be in terms of size. That said this series sounds like it’s all over the place as per many licensed theme CMFs so size logic is probably meaningless Quote

Human versions of Fiona and Shrek come to mind. Not to mention Fairy Godmother in her red dress. Lego gave us Huey, Dewey and Louie in a Disney CMF series but they had different color clothing and were part of a 18-minifigure line. The Three Little Pigs look identical except for their hats. Might be easier to just give us one of them as a minifig but include three different hats that you could insert onto the molded head. So you can collect three of what's essentially one minifigure to get them all, rather than waste three separate slots. 15 hours ago, Renny The Spaceman said: Yeah, my thoughts too.
