Creating CMFs before TLG does

[AmperZand]

I was curious what minifigs you have created that TLG has also brought out as a CMF, especially when you predicted TLG's minifigs before their announcement.

I created the following before TLG announced the same trope:

- Good knight

- Evil knight

- Zombie

- Fairy

- Gnome

- Evil dwarf

- Elf

- Barbarian

What about you?

I don't set out to anticipate TLG. It's just that there are some core tropes particularly in the fantasy genre which is my main focus.

Incidentally, I don't know if this thread belongs here or in the Special Lego Themes forum. If it should be in the other forum, can a mod please move it?

I remember we had a ''what figures do you miss'' thread (sorry, to lazy to search but so are you I guess). Anyway, a lot of those ideas have been made into the series. Seems finally my biker idea is coming with series 10.

Well I'm not lazy! Here is the topic I think you are talking about.

I had...

Fairy

Nerd

Cyclops

Punk

Tomahawk warrior

Probably some more I can't think of right now. :D

@Commander Red Hat and Brickington,

It's not exactly the same thing. That other thread was a wish list albeit with suggested parts (that may or may not have existed). What I'm talking about are minifigs you actually MOCed ahead of something being announced by TLG using LEGO or third party (e.g. BrickWarriors, BrickForge and BrickArms) parts.

Oh, I forgot a few from my own list:

- Cyclops

- Musketeer

- Mermaid

The lack of pictures in this topic is disturbing

Anyway, it's a weird question but I'd say I made aliens before CMF came out. Just harvest the heads from other toylines like Ben 10, star wars etc. and pop them on a minifigure.
