x105Black Posted July 20, 2019 Great stuff, especially the Wraith and Tombstone. Also love the Knight Maiden, Herald, Muse, Underworld Ruler, and Giant for their applicability to Castle. Very well done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robert8 Posted July 21, 2019 2 minutes ago, Karalora said: So do you work on an indefinite number of them at once and then decide which to include in a given series? No. I make a list of 16 and then I work on them. Right now I have the Series P, Q, and R ready. And also have some spares So, if Series 19 is revealed and it turns out Dark Fairy or Cyclist are there, then I'll replace mines from Series P with other minifigures I have ready for other series. That way I won't waste any spots because I have more characters in my lists than the ones I need to complete all the series up to Series Z. I plan to post Series P on August 1st but if Series 19 isnt revealed by then, I'll have to push it back a little bit 4 hours ago, K_Tiger said: It's okay, you don't have to spare LEGO's designers' feelings by doing their ideas better. Oh no no I didnt mean it that way hahaha Actually it's the way around: Giraffe Guy, Party Clown and Retro Space Hero have put my versions to shame. 7 hours ago, x105Black said: Great stuff, especially the Wraith and Tombstone.

If I remember right, @Trekkie99 had been asking about such an archetype on this topic awhile back. 9 hours ago, Robert8 said: Oh no no I didnt mean it that way hahaha Actually it's the way around: Giraffe Guy, Party Clown and Retro Space Hero have put my versions to shame. Personally, I think your own Party Clown was much better, while I don't think your two '50s-era/Astropunk Retro Spacemen are that comparable to Lego's '30s-era/Raypunk Retro Space Hero. In my eyes, they're two distinct archetypes, and I do hope we see a bubble-helmeted Space Explorer from Lego here soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I grant you that's probably a subjective metric for comparison, as personal tastes are personal tastes. I imagine if someone were to take his 2D drawings and give them the weight of LEGO's 3D renderings. Call me a fanboy, but I'll never be convinced that Robert8 doesn't have an eye for design every bit as good as anyone working on the CMF team.

Series 19 is nice and I'll get dozens of that, but I'd call that a VAMPIRE KNIGHT, while this is an UNDEAD KNIGHT which is very, very different, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
