    Unpopular Opinions about LEGO

    There are some truly rancid takes in that thread, starting with OP. To paraphrase: "Please tell me LEGOs aren't really good for my child's mind so I don't have to feel guilty about not letting them have any."

    Dream Lego Licensed Themes

    The show really got short shrift back in the 2000s, didn't it? Two sets, neither very carefully designed, cheaped-out minifigures. They really should have tried to re-acquire the license in order to tie in with the Netflix adaptation (while still using the cartoon as the basis for the sets).

    LEGO Videogame Tie-Ins - Rumors & Discussion

    I guess it depends on to what extent the shape of the licensed part is necessarily tied to the trademark(s) associated with the license. Rabbit's head shape is a distinctive part of his character design which is trademarked, but a roughly ovoid helmet is only "Iron Man's helmet" if colored red and gold in that distinctive way, and if that is achieved via printing then the overall shape can be reused.

    Or conversely, what if the D&D minifigs possibly point to more Zelda sets in the future? *fingers crossed* I mean how much difference is there, really, between an Aarakocra and a Rito?

    Latest news about Lego animal moulds

    Could be pretty cool if we got more than just the standard dinosaurs and smilodons.

    Kim seems to be holding, not wearing, the handcuffs--perhaps she made the arrest?
  7. ...probably because in my collection, it's stored with the holiday sets and minifigs, not the rest of the animal costumes. Thanks for the catch!
  8. The Cowardly Lion has a very distinctive look to his mane that wouldn't work for a more generic lion costume. Anyway, I decided to tally up the existing animal costumes from CMF and BAM by category, counting species only, not color variations: Mammals Bear (more of a teddy bear suit than a "real" bear costume) Bunny Cat Dog (pug) Elephant Fox Giraffe Gorilla Llama Panda Pig Raccoon Tiger Wolf Birds Chicken Penguin Turkey Reptiles Lizard/Godzilla T. rex Triceratops Fish Shark Bugs Bee Butterfly Ladybug Spider Mythical Dragon Unicorn (And then there's that recent BAM figure that I think is supposed to actually be an anthro unicorn, not a costume.) Did I miss any?
  9. That's a specific character; I think we're envisioning more of a generic minifigure generically dressed as a lion.
  10. Indeed. A lion hood mold already exists (from one of the Harry Potter CMF series).
  11. A snake costume would be funny with a unique "armless" torso and a facial expression suggesting that the minifig is just discovering the downsides of an armless costume.
  12. I was mostly kidding about the goat (see what I did there?). Peacock is a good choice. I'd also like to see lion, frog, horse and/or zebra, maybe Chinese dragon (with the whiskers)...

    Dream Lego Licensed Themes

    Not just the visual style, but the content and the serialization at a time when it was almost unheard of for Western cartoons to be serialized rather than purely episodic. The first time I randomly caught an episode (never having heard of it before), I would have sworn it was actual anime, produced in Japan. We used to call it "American anime," intended as high praise. Insofar as anime is defined as animation produced in Japan, for a Japanese audience...ATLA is not anime. But if you're wondering about the suitability of anime for LEGO sets, style and content are probably more relevant than mere country of origin, and in fact they have made sets for a show that is disqualified from being anime only due to country of origin.
