I love Hazmat too, this round was the first time I didn't vote for him. I actually disagree and think the opposite may be true. If the Faun wins, he could prove to be a big spoiler and take down the Elf. Both of these figures were long awaited releases and were so perfectly done when they were released that they exceeded expectations. If they don't meet in the next round then I bet the final will be Elf vs. Faun and it'll be a really close battle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

koalayummies Posted July 15, 2017 I thought a musketeer was a soldier equipped with a musket fighting in line infantry as per the definition, not an ineffective non-bladed stabbing rapier with a ball on the end and ugly hat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are two definitions. One as you say, a soldier armed with a musket. The second definition is a type of soldier in 17th and 18th century France, which is what this one is. I thought the latter was well known due to The Three Musketeers. 44 minutes ago, BrickHat said: I'd love to see the best figure from a theme go at it with the best figure from another theme. That would probably just be a measure of the popularity of the theme, rather than the minifig. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's not much theme diversity at this point anyway though. Fantasy and historical minifigures are pretty much the proven favorites in this game. The Diver I would consider historical, while Elf and Faun (assuming he wins) are fantasy. The last quarterfinal should be between the Bagpiper and Scarecrow, which are a little bit removed from history/fantasy, although the scarecrow could be considered fantasy depending on how you use him. It might be interesting to do another game where we pick a favorite minifigure from every theme (fantasy, historical, space, costume figures, city, etc.). The only problem might be what to classify as what, and how specific we want the subthemes. For example, some figures might be considered both fantasy and historical, or both fantasy and horror, etc. Also do we make a separate theme for Greco-Roman history and mythology that includes not only the Roman Soldier figures but also the Minotaur and Cyclops? Or do we group some of those into historical and others into fantasy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Itaria No Shintaku Posted July 16, 2017 Sorry for the delay: FAUN is in the semifinals. Next round in 15 minutes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MAB Posted July 16, 2017 Quarter final 4, tough one for me as I cannot believe either of them made it this far. So I'll have to vote for the Bagpiper, not because I like him but only because the Scarecrow knocked out the Spartan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although to me the diver is more of a city minifigure, same for the scarecrow, so I'll be happy as long as one of them makes it to the final. Speaking of which, the scarecrow here is the superior minifigure to me, even if I am salty that he has eliminated some figures I liked. I hold few grudges on this game, so go scarecrow!

dr_spock Posted July 17, 2017 Or a couple more for scarecrow and he'll take the lead. At this rate, it may have to be decided by a coin toss or random.org. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
