hikouki Posted May 9, 2021 Posted May 9, 2021 (Posted this on BL but thought I might get more responses here.) I am making a New York and a San Francisco-themed MOCs and I need some suggestions for minifigs from the CMF series, or perhaps any existing ones out there. So far, here is a list of what I came up with: San Francisco: Hippie (series 7) Computer Programmer (series 7) New York: Lady Liberty (series 6) Hot Dog guy (series 13) - Coney Island hot dogs? lol Police Officer (series 9) - NYPD? Thanks for any suggestions! Quote
Jack Sassy Posted May 9, 2021 Posted May 9, 2021 Maybe add some of those singers and DJs they had This guy can be for both cities: Skater from series 1 could do well for New York: Traffic Cop from series 2 would do well for San Francisco: It's really up to you at the end of the day, there are so many figures but I'd suggest looking into harvest series because that's when they were making more modernly realistic ones.

AquaSazers Posted May 10, 2021 Posted May 10, 2021 (edited) Well, you def need one or more of the "NEW YORK" torsos from the NYC stores build-a-fig stations. You can get a handful, dress a whole family in them and make them look like tourists visiting the city. Also, The Ghostbusters for NYC. Edited May 10, 2021 by AquaSazers Quote
williejm Posted May 10, 2021 Posted May 10, 2021 The sailor, the disco diva, the motorcycle mechanic & the dance instructor And the hip hop dancer, the diner waitress, the fast food server, and the rainbow bear Quote

Is it Gorilla and Lizard for King Kong and Godzilla, respectively? LOL I love it! I do think the Sushi Chef would be great for Japantown in SF as well. I read that SF has the oldest (?) Chinatown in the US. So perhaps I'll throw in one of those Chinese New Year minifigs as well. Thanks guys for all your suggestions! Quote

Thanks guys for all your suggestions! Exactly, Godzilla and King Kong! Good idea to use Chinese New Year sets for Chinatown! And welcome to Eurobricks!!! Quote
Robert8 Posted May 12, 2021 Posted May 12, 2021 (edited) Also the Series 11 Sax Player And the Series 5 Gangster for NY of course Edited May 12, 2021 by Robert8 Quote
Karalora Posted May 12, 2021 Posted May 12, 2021 Lots of great suggestions here; I don't have much to add. Although... SF: Look up the uniform of the streetcar conductors and/or BART train drivers and try to recreate that. Give any minifig a baguette to reference that famous San Francisco sourdough bread. NY: A cabdriver That's all I've got, unfortunately. Quote

Apologies for the question, but what's harvest series? First time I've heard of that. Quote

First time I've heard of that I just used that phrase to describe first couple series (like 1,2 and so on), phrase ''harvest'' is usually used in some music band hits compilation where the ''harvest'' years are the first early few years that have been compiled.
