Digger of Bricks Posted February 23, 2020 BTW @Robert8, have Series 20's offerings changed up any plans you've laid out for further Series down the road? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nah... thats a coincidence.

For this very next one (Series S) I made a female counterpart for one of the Series 20 characters. But thats it about it. This time around most of the coincidences are already made drawings, rather that upcoming ones (Thank god) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The males in series 20 are brick guy, keytar rocker, drone flyer, viking warrior, red ranger, nunchuck fighter, piñata boy, and knight. I’d say a female Ranger would be great to see.

Yooha Posted February 24, 2020 I think I slept for a month, since I realized the new series only now... It is from the better ones, there is no "kinda okay", only "that'spretty good", "hilarious" or "how come this didn't happen earlier?" I see sense some GLOW wibe in case of the Retro Wrestler. Best oroginal idea: Srrok Suit guy It was time award: Centaur Best overall minifig: Beefeater Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Digger of Bricks Posted February 24, 2020 BTW again Robert, have you ever considered a Steampunk/Vernian Astronaut before, something in the vein of Jules Verne's From the Earth to the Moon? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Yellow Ranger was a man in the Japanese version of the original show, the full suit stunt scenes (among others) of which were reused for the American version of the show. I stopped following Power Rangers quite some time ago, so I an unfamiliar with the incarnation of the show that has a female White Ranger. Cyan? Interesting color choice. Just gaudy enough to make sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmm at this point it will be impossible to include every single idea in these series. After Series S, there will be only 7 series left. I originally wanted to make Series S an special one: I was going to pick 16 suggestions from the "what minifigures are we still missing?" thread. Buy at the end, I decided against it because that mean even less spots aviable for my own ideas. Might still do it for Series V or W though, depending on what TLG releases in CMF S21 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would you've selected those sixteen suggestions based upon your own personal likening, or would reoccurrence of suggested archetypes not yet covered been a factor?

Also, do you think you could consider remaking the LEGO Minotaur, in a different color, and you'd probably have to give it a different weapon too, maybe a buildable hammer? like this one: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert8 Posted February 26, 2020 I thought about giving him the long bow+arrow but that would be lot of plastic for a single figure, which has a huge new mold and a new hairpiece. The cost would be too high. Thats what I thought. About the Minotaur, I dont see the point of remake it. The Series 6 one is perfect Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ARTU Posted February 26, 2020 Hi Robert8 I'm a Lego enthusiast and I signed up to compliment you on the work done. Your creations are all beautiful and inspired me too. I customized some of your works and I just wanted to show them to you. They are certainly very simple but your work deserved to be represented. I hope you like them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ARTU Posted February 27, 2020 Thank you for appreciation! My work is artisanal and, at times, it is noticeable, but I am happy that it can inspire an artist and AFOL like you. I will try to be there, even if because of my free time I can't follow more than one forum every day. I will however be waiting for your other works and in the meantime I have downloaded some pictures of your latest series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert8 Posted March 1, 2020 With Series R we reached the 20th series of ideas for CMFs. Hooray! So, now we have enough series to fill the second encyclopedia of minifigures, featuring the characters from Series K to R. Of course. a LEGO book needs an exclusive character...... IDEAS FOR COLLECTABLE MINIFIGURES: CHARACTER ENCYCLOPEDIA. VOL II Exclusive Character: Voodoo Doctor Voodoo Doctor Part assortment: Top hat + hair piece introduced with the Series K Grave Digger. Scepter (4L bar+hollow stud+minifigure head). Regular head, torso and legs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karalora Posted March 1, 2020 I love him. I just have one suggestion. Maybe rename him Houngan? "Voodoo Doctor" could be construed as derogatory. Houngan is the actual traditional name for the role. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ToaIruini Posted March 1, 2020 What a great figure! What did you base it off of? The name voodoo doctor reminds me of the witch doctor character from a previous series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nerd-with-a-Pencil Posted March 1, 2020 Oh that is Very good. I remember being super disappointed when the rumored 'voodoo doctor' in the monster fighters sets turned out to be just another Zombie. But you have captured this archetype amazingly well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
