The rating scale lacks one more number: :wub: (perfect) 10!:wub:

Indeed a minifig to die for (besides the nurse, of course :wink: )!

MUST HAVE!

Can't wait to see these in Billund. You're going to take them with you, aren't you?

Congrats, CopMike!

I have a request. If it's not too much trouble, would you mind doing a comparison between her hair and the similar hair found on other recent figs (Agent Trace, the female pirate from Shipwreck Hideout and the Advent Calendar, etc.)? I was curious about how similar the headgear / accessory elements are, since it was my understanding all the "accessory" items in this line are unique (so that all those elements that do already have versions in general use are at least slightly resculpted here). Is the hair the same, or is it indeed a slightly different mold?

Looks the same to me:

Thanks for that. So no apparent difference, then? Hm. I guess they're allowing some existing elements besides basic heads, torsos and hip/leg assemblies (which makes sense, considering some of the accessories like the crash test dummy's license plate are just regular bricks, plates and/or tiles, albeit with unique prints - say, could that mean they simply don't intend to ever produce this hair element in this color again?)...

Outstanding fig, the only thing I don't like is the facial expression, but apart from that its awesome. :sweet:

The minifig bag & mini poster are the same as the previous #13 The Spaceman.

The item# of the bag is 4568039, also as before.

Are the unnumbered bar codes on the back right hand side the same for both minifigs? Edited by AllanSmith

Ooooh... Blonde "hot-girl-hair"!! And is it the same color as Willie Scott's and Elsa Schneider's from the Indiana Jones theme?

Their hair color is listed as "bright light yellow" on BrickLink.

And I agree... She's totally hot as a brunette too!! :wub:

Thanks!!

YOU LUCKY! :wub: I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU FOUND IT! :cry_happy: I will search for these, very little hope except TRU. :kahuka::bonaparte::monkey::sick::sing::sick::sing::sick::sing::sick::sing:

Good luck with that :hmpf:.

This line looks very promising. Thanks for the mini-review! I'm so glad that we are getting some of these unique minifigs that we would have no chance of getting in an official set!

Hate to be a bother, but would you either describe and/or take a picture of the bottom of the stand? It looks like a nice piece...

Thanks! :classic:

This is a really nice minifig that my niece would love! This is one of my favorites too. Cop Mike seems to have the hookup when it comes to early previews :laugh:

Yes, they are:

Their hair color is listed as "bright light yellow" on BrickLink.

Basicly, but a little, little brighter, somewhere inbetween Light Yellow and Bright Light Yellow :

But I don´t know if that´s a new color or just a variation of any of the above.

That's the University of Memphis logo!
You´re totally right:

Thanks for correcting me!

Guess it's a variation. When you first posted the pictures, it kinda looked like it was made out of white chocolate.

Whoa! :wub:

This is my fav of the series as well, mostly for the hair and pompoms. :wub:

So, how did you get these? :grin:

Copmike, you don't deserve this girl. If the figures are available to me before EB event, I will throw random thick poly-bags at you, making sure though, by CT-scanning, that no cheer leaders are inside. :classic:

Why does that line sound familiar... :hmpf:

Ooh, can you please throw some at me too? :grin:
