There is a recolour or a new dog in the The Justice League Anniversary Party (70919), if it is useful as a normal dog is still under the cloak

It is a blue recolor so not the most normal dog color, but other than that it looks normal. So i guess I will include it in the dog pack, but it is debatable

The mouse from the cmf series is a new mold!

[Robert8]

I'm not sure if I like it

It looks like something from the Friends line. Very junior-ized

It looks almost as big as the rat That is way too big (if the picture is not lying), makes it look like a dog toy

The fish comes in a new color, but the spider is the old mould..

The balloonanimals are the closest so far too getting a Dachshund mould

I love it. Authentic proportions have never been Lego’s strong suit!

I had that at first as well. But it differs with the rat more now. I think the printing of the cute eyes are the reason why it looks Friendish. All in all i think that Lego is going from a more blocky design to a sleeker one nowadays.

I think the mould looks much better than the old one.

It almost looks like the size of a rabbit.

That is a valid point,

but a mouse that is the same size as a rabbit Must be some kind of twisted record when it comes too wrong authentic proportions

In my opinion it should have been half the size (and then it is still to big for a mouse)

Haha Was maybe a little too fast there, The ant is on first place, but mouse on a good second

I love the mouse mould 

What is needed are new fish moulds. There is no diversity in the Lego sea.

Agreed! At the very least a flatfish, an eel, pufferfish and an anglerfish, I’d say.

You could just use some of the helmets from the Lego Ninjago Movie and put plain heads in them.

I had a dream last night that a new wave of sets where coming out including a few new animal moulds, the ones I can remember was a vulture and a male lion. Oh a safari theme you say, definitely not. From what I remember the vulture was in a small impulse set with a baby

So I am hardly clairvoyant, but probably in need of more Lego animals and minifig baby's

Hmm. Still at least it wasn’t a set with a dingo and a baby ...

Why didn’t they use it in black for series 18 then ?

1. Who knows. They certainly should have, but they didn't.

2. Pics over in the Harry Potter thread.

[Roebuck]

The new rat mould are in grey also in the HP set, and 2 spiders in a brownish colour.. They are probably not included in the finished set, but should pop up in another set real soon

yeah I think they should have used the new mold in there too so that I could get it with a $4 figure that looks great and not have to spend who knows how much on a Harry Potter set . But I wonder if they chose to use the old one because they have extra in stock (maybe) and they want to use them all up before they start using only the new ones.

Yes I found the photos there thanks. the rat looks good as well but since I am not a fan of Harry Potter I hope they use it in a different line. 

( perhaps with the exterminator/animal control guy in series 19 whenever that happens.)

Saber tooth tiger leaked. It gives a wide range of possibilities for future animals
