Disney Properties 2024 - Rumors & Discussion

[sunhuntin]

I might have to look at the instructions, and Bricklink the parts to make Pride Rock with simba, as it is really the only part of the set that grabs me.

The set as a whole looks good. Mickey needs a mouth, though. His face doesn't look like it has much expression below the eyes, unless there is mouth printing that is close to the color used for the parts.

I wonder which brick they used for Lilo's skirt? Is it a regular 1x2 brick? Or perhaps a slope?

The very slow release of Beauty and the Beast characters is killing me - They released a Gaston. Now a Belle in a different set. When is Beast coming??? Other major princesses have had their princes released already.

I don't think it's a slope piece from what I can see. I have to admit, I'm slightly disappointed with Lilo between sharing Pocahontas' hair and the lack of dual molded arms to portray her red sleeves. I doubt she'll be any different in the Lilo & Stitch set.

To be fair, some major princes like Eric and Phillip never got minifigures either so the Beast is in good company. We're lucky we got the princes we did. If it wasn't for the Disney 100th Anniversary, we'd probably only still have Aladdin from CMF Series 1.

That's actually a fairly valid point. I guess it should look great nonetheless, considering when you look at Cinderella they printed her sleeves on the torso, leaving the arms as plain dual molded pieces, and it works fine.

Tbh I'm not a huge fan of Cinderella's sleeves just being printed on the torso. It doesn't quite convey the effect for me. The CMF Wolverine minifig does have short capped sleeves printed onto his arms but he doesn't have to worry about dual molded arms like Cinderella does with her gloves.

It kinda feels odd having priority placed on Florian made into a minifigure over Eric, Philip, and Beast. I'm hoping we do get them - like we nearly got a Philip prior to last minute changes, so hopefully this means they may intend to later from him and the rest.

I didn't like it at first but when trying to think of how the sleeves might look on the arms I figured, from own interperation, it would look so wacky like she's wearing a t-shirt. It's since grown on me to have her sleeves as torso printing.

But Belle - I'm 50/50. I look at the arms and slightly wonder why they couldn't print onto the arms considering you're printing on light nougat compared to a darker colour; however, thanks to Cinderella and you're explanation earlier, I can move past it. Currently more concerned about the face printing if I'm honest...

I think Florian may have been prioritized because of the Snow White cottage set. It made him an easy choice to make since he can fit into two sets. Which is probably the only reason why we're getting Lilo in this set because they already designed her for the upcoming Lilo & Stitch house set.

Yeah, I can see it looking like Cinderella is wearing a T-Shirt. The sleeves aren't such a big deal as much as the color of her hair and dress at this point.

It would have been nice if they included the shoulder sash on Belle's arms. With a lot of these minifigs, I've noticed Lego gets most of it right but then there's always one pesky detail or color which is off and makes you wish they could have just fixed that. Maybe in a few years if this minifig is ever remade. Based on what I can see from the pic, it looks like they reused the Cinderella/Wendy face for Belle. Which is getting a little ridiculous now to have the same face reused for three separate Disney characters!

Geppetto's legs are covered so I'm curious if he has printing for his shoes and stockings.

Yeah that makes sense from a business/production perspective. I just find it amusing in my own way that the prince whom we know almost nothing about from the film, and is not iconic as Charming to get away with it, may be one of few princes that pulls throughh into being made compared to Philip, Eric, and Beast (or Adam, unofficially) who are far more fleshed out. Naveen and Flynn were a must being that they are even more explored as characters, and Charming gets a pass for being iconic/epitome of princes in fairy tales. Florian, while I am still happy with for the sake of Snow White, makes me ponder on things - that's all 🫠

Yes we won't accept that lack of a silver dress and strawberry blonde hair!!! Kidding, kidding - though yes the colours are more of a pressing factor than the sleeve printing.

I think in some parts I will say the colouring comes down to trying to work with their existing palette, but there are other times where I just think "why". I agree with your earlier post about Belle needing to be more golden. I think the bodice of her dress should be more yellow-orange and Lego should have instead used the colour they are currently using for the bodice for the skirt.

And yes absolutely annoying for the face printing to be the same. I would give a pass for Wendy in terms of both her and Cinderella sharing the same art style and that Wendy is more likely to be displayed in her diorama than the castle - though as discussed, the piece does make her look older which is the drawback I have.

But Cinderella and Belle? Sorry, I can't make sense of it. If someone told me I HAD TO pick a princess that looked like Belle, at the most and very relunctantly, I'd pick Ariel. Not just the same art style, but the way they present themselves through just facial and body language - they have more sincerity, more passion, more expression. They are more lively and human in how they respond and express things vs the era of Snow White and Cinderella. Cinderella is more poise. Yes her actions are sincere but she has a very collected and graceful way of expressing herself. She's almost slightly less expressive because I think at the time the art style Disney was trying to prioritise more the beauty of reverance/perfection than the realistic/naturally human reactions a person might have. I would not use the same description to describe Belle - who is actively outspoken and is more than willing to express herself less gracefully than Cinderella but more courageously and raw. Regardless, the two are very much going to be displayed in the castle considering the Beauty and the Beast reference, so that's just awkward in its own sense.

The minifigures are great but the set is a hot mess to me. The connections between movies are weird and Mickey does not look good in my eyes.

Agreed. The original set design was better and the movies connected more fluidly. I was too busy looking at the minifigs to pay much attention to Mickey but he really looks off.

I doubt we ever will get Cinderella with correct colors so we're probably more likely to get a version with sleeves.

I can see what you mean about Belle's dress color. I hope it looks better in different lighting but the skirt probably should have been the color of her torso while her torso should be a darker gold. It's hard to tell though because Disney has changed the colors of the actual film so many times from DVD to Blu-Ray release.

This is the Wendy vs Cinderella comparison with Alice thrown in as well. I don't think Cinderella and Wendy look a whole lot alike but Belle and Cinderella definitely don't either. Meanwhile Wendy and Alice look almost identical facial wise except Alice's lips are very red compared to Wendy's.

I also feel that Belle and Ariel have a strong facial resemblance. Part of that is because the animation on those movies, especially Beauty and the Beast, is notorious for being rushed and Belle in particular is frequently off-model. But there are many shots where I see Ariel's face in Belle. Ideally all the princesses would have unique faces though since they each have their own distinctive features. Ariel has pencil thin eyebrows whereas Belle has thicker, more European, eyebrows. And Belle's lips are pink whereas Ariel's are red. I guess since Cinderella's eyebrows are also brown and not as thin as Ariel's, plus she has pink lips, they felt there was enough resemblance to Belle.

I would accept Alice and Wendy sharing the same face - after all, they are virtually the same apart from minor adjustments that you've already noted. Additionally, it is unlikely that someone will display both Alice and Wendy together unless someone is putting all their Disney figs together in the same display.

I totally agree with your point that Cinderella and Belle share the features you've described, I just don't get Belle vibes with the expression they have for Cinderella's face print. In trying to suck it up and get over it, as I know I'm drawing on my own perception of how Belle should look, I'm still at least bothered by the fact that I will be displaying Belle in the castle alongside the other princesses. I'm sure many other people will too. It will look a bit silly to have Belle and Cinderella looking the same facial wise, and I don't know why Lego didn't put the effort in when they have recognised in the princess line that princesses are always going to be grouped up by fans and therefore should look different.

Talking about princes, I also miss having minifigures for Kristoff and Hans (well I also miss Shang and John Smith, but I understand these two are less likely).

I support these too. There was a fair amount of time invested in learning about their character. They shouldn't be left out.

[TheFriedChimken]

Found a much clearer photo of Belle to compare to Cinderella. Able to pick up a few things that might hopefully suggest their faces are different.

1. The tail of Belle's eyebrow seems to extend further past the wings of her eyelashes than Cinderella's brows do.

2. Belle's eyebrows seem to not only be thinner but less s-shaped than Cinderella's - possible more angular.

3. The wings of Belle's eyelashes seem to angle more upwards compared to Cinderella, and is possibly one lash flick vs Cinderella's double flick.

4. Can't tell without the lips, but both the eyes and brows for Belle do still seem to sit quite higher - though, as I expressed in an earlier post, could just be misplaced printing.

5. Belle's mouth doesn't seem to have the same mouth creases as Cinderella.

The lack of Frozen minifigs since CMF Series 2, plus the Ice Castle being minidoll only, seems to suggest Disney isn't interested in doing anything minifig related for Frozen anymore.

I also think we won't get minifigs for the non-prince characters. That's why I made my own unofficial John Smith minifig from official parts if it's of interest to anyone. I posed him with Pocahontas so you can see what they look like together. The armor doesn't taper down the middle but I'm guessing even if we did get an official John Smith minifig, Lego would reuse their standard armor mold instead of making one more accurate to his movie armor.

I keep my Alice and Wendy together since they're both Disney heroines and literary heroines. :) Dorothy is usually grouped with them too.

From Instagram, I don't think most people are very picky about keeping only princesses in the castle for display. I see lots of pics with all the Disney characters, whether Tron, Pirates of the Caribbean, Toy Story, The Incredibles, Winnie the Pooh, etc. included in the castle. And plenty even with The Muppets, Star Wars, or Marvel characters like Iron Man flying around.

My bad haha. I don't have Alice or Wendy, so assuming if I did I would have grouped them by their film and fellow film-related characters.

I've also seen people display all their characters in the castle and I think it's absolutely cute! Sorry, I noticed my wording was bad after re-reading what I said. I more so meant to say at the very least people would have displayed the princesses and their princes in the castle - but of course the castle is not limited to such characters and anyone can be included.

Thank you, I'm glad you like it. The hair is from the original Thor minifigs from the first two Avengers movie sets. 

The face is Jimin from the BTS set.

Torso is Fleur Delacour in her Beauxbatons uniform. It's not evident from the picture but the torso/arms are a lighter shade of blue than the armor. They're the same shade as Cinderella's light blue dress. The armor is slightly darker blue like Genie and Stitch if you have those minifgs to compare to Cinderella.

The blue armor doesn't come from a set. It's only available in blue from BL. I've tried the silver gray breastplate as well since some John Smith merchandise (like his 90s Mattel doll) featured him in silver armor. But the silver breastplate feels more like a John Smith MOC whereas the blue breastplate feels more like it's really John Smith imo.

Legs come from Oswald.

Don't worry about it, I hope you don't think I was trying to call you out! Everyone is free to display their sets and figures as they want so if some people only keep the royal couples in the castle, that's perfectly alright. And I've seen plenty of pics proving people do display it like that.

Ideally every Disney character minifig would have a unique face so we wouldn't have this issue at all like with Cinderella and Wendy. You're probably right that most people won't keep them next to each other so it's not as noticeable for them since Wendy isn't a princess.

I tend to keep my Disney characters grouped by film as well. So I have Wendy with Peter, Tink, and Hook but I keep Alice on Wendy's other side due to the obvious links and similarities. Plus their movies came out one after another so it works chronologically too.

I like this!!! To be honest, when you put it like that, I'd probably put Alice with Wendy too if I had them both. The only Alice in Wonderland character I have is the Queen of Hearts and I prefer her with the villains. So, to make sure Alice was with good company, I think Wendy would make good company based on your suggestion 🙂

I have to look into getting Alice at some point, same with some Peter Pan characters. I just haven't had the chance to get around to it and keep forgetting.

Of course. Happy to.

I don't think you were giving off that impression at all but I wanted to make sure you didn't feel any slight, just in case, because I wanted to make sure that my post hadn't seemed antagonistic lol. So we both seem overly concerned for no reason. I think when it comes to gatekeeping who lives in the castle, that role lies with Disney/Lego based on them dictating who gets made into minifigure form or not.

Keeping the villains together is great too, especially since there's so many now. Still hoping for more Alice characters like the White Rabbit, Mad Hatter, and March Hare. I was certain we'd get some sort of Mad Tea Party set but sadly that never happened. With Peter Pan's cast more or less complete (although I'd love the Darling brothers, Nana, and Mr. Smee), I think we could use more Alice characters in future sets.

I know the original Peter Pan minifig from the first CMF series tends to be a bit more expensive than the rest of the minifigs from that series. Don't know about Alice's price. I'm currently still trying to track down Jack Skellington for a decent price since I think I'll likely get TNBC set even though it's not really a favorite movie of mine.

Yes there's quite a few villains, and grouping them all together helps with ensuring Cruella and Gaston had somewhere to be displayed rather than on their own. 

Truly wish they did some more Alice in Wonderland characters - I think because they hadn't done much with them I haven't been as eager to fork out the money to buy Alice. I remember seeing AshnFlash's diorama for the tea party and, you'd think if not his design, Lego would come with their own seeing that it is an iconic scene that consists of all the characters you've listed.

As for Peter Pan and Tinkerbelle, they are definitely characters I want to get. I think when I do so I might look into getting Hook too. I also wish they did include John and Michael, considering they appeared on Hook's clock in the icons set. If they had been, I think it would push to want Wendy.

I've seen the original Peter Pan go for low as $30 (AUD) new at some point, not sure if that's still the case. As for Alice, she's always been around $50 when I've looked and Jack $70ish. They certainly are pricey.

Cruella at least has Patch even if he isn't quite a minifigure. At least Gaston will have some other representative from his movie. I do have a lot of the enchanted objects, from the princess Beauty and the Beast sets, that I've featured in the castle. Those princess sets have been good about more or less featuring all the major Beauty and the Beast servants/objects.

I think part of the reason they haven't done an Alice set is because if they did the tea party scene, they'd have to make at least two new minifigs. Three if we include the White Rabbit. And there's the Dormouse as well who would need to be an animal mold. And even Alice hasn't been made since 2016 so she'd more or less have to be a new figure as well although the hair mold they brought back for her minidoll.

I think Hook might be kinda pricey now too. I got him a few years back but I remember he and Peter were two of the most expensive from the CMF Series 1. As for Peter and Tinker Bell, I'd say the new Tinker Bell figure from the Peter Pan diorama set and celebration train set is superior to the original. At least her wings are, since they're more movie accurate and actually pointed rather than round. The new Peter isn't as good though with generic legs. I'd try and get the original if you ever can for a good deal, despite his price. The lack of John and Michael was disappointing as well as Nana. Wendy being featured without her hairbow, which they did bother to include in the minidoll set, was even more of an inconvenience. I can see why the lackluster attempts at making minifigs from this property haven't encouraged you.

Wow, they're even pricier than I expected. The funny thing is that Jack used to be really cheap and one of the easier minifigs to get.

Those princess sets have been good about more or less featuring all the major Beauty and the Beast servants/objects.

That's the only reason why I have been slightly tempted to get the princess sets, but I figured I can always get the parts for cheaper off brick owl. I also want to get the Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather round tiles, but I feel I will need to get the latest Sleeping Beauty set for that; however, I'm still too bitter at Lego for ditching the diorama haha.

I think part of the reason they haven't done an Alice set is because if they did the tea party scene, they'd have to make at least two new minifigs. Three if we include the White Rabbit. And there's the Dormouse as well who would need to be an animal mold. And even Alice hasn't been made since 2016 so she'd more or less have to be a new figure as well although the hair mold they brought back for her minidoll.

Yeah it's pretty much the case with Lego for anything we want for Disney at this point. Where there are new prints and new molds needed, there are no sets and minifigures to come unless it's really worth it for Lego...

I would love a new Alice, though this time either small legs or the medium sized ones.

Yes Hook is quite pricey unfortunately. I think for me I will either have to choose Hook or CMF Pan if there aren't any decently afforable ones available. I agree the new Peter Pan is lackluster with it's plain legs - but the new Tink is much nicer in my opinion too!

I think at some point I will find the push I need to get some Peter Pan characters, regardless of Lego's design choices. Not sure when, but I think eventually at some point. I'm just struggling with space at the moment to even store figures let alone display sets.

Agreed, but what can you do. Interestingly, Sally hasn't gone up - I saw one for $15 AUD new the other day. Thought she would have sky-rocketed seeing her newest design lacks the more accurate hair piece that has since been retired in the red colour.

Yes there's quite a few villains, and grouping them all together helps with ensuring Cruella and Gaston had somewhere to be displayed rather than on their own. 

Truly wish they did some more Alice in Wonderland characters - I think because they hadn't done much with them I haven't been as eager to fork out the money to buy Alice. I remember seeing AshnFlash's diorama for the tea party and, you'd think if not his design, Lego would come with their own seeing that it is an iconic scene that consists of all the characters you've listed.

As for Peter Pan and Tinkerbelle, they are definitely characters I want to get. I think when I do so I might look into getting Hook too. I also wish they did include John and Michael, considering they appeared on Hook's clock in the icons set. If they had been, I think it would push to want Wendy.

I've seen the original Peter Pan go for low as $30 (AUD) new at some point, not sure if that's still the case. As for Alice, she's always been around $50 when I've looked and Jack $70ish. They certainly are pricey.

I would really love for them to start making more characters longitudinally- meaning adding more characters to complement previously released ones.

We got Gaston, then now Belle, but how about Beast?

yes, definitely the rest of the Peter Pan and Alice crews!!!

Agree. I'd love to see them "complete the story" so to speak with some of the Disney films they've already represented with minifigures before moving onto variants/new IPs. Crazy to think Snow White is pretty much totally covered outside of the Huntsman.

I wonder if they'll keep it as-is, or if they'll make it a little bigger, throw in a few minifigs, and sell it at closer to $100, a-la Disney Villains or the Ideas Disney 100 set.

I wonder who they would throw in, if that is the case... There's a lot of good options, and several minifigs I'd love to see, but I also don't know how many sets I want to keep buying with just our semi-related minifigs, half of which are reused in later sets...
