LEGO Collectable Minifigures Future Series Rumours
Gorilla94 replied to r4-g9's topic in Special LEGO Themes
I still hope 21 is the third one and it's just the next 2 licenced ones that have 12 figures. -
Is it time for LEGO to stop being colorblind?
Gorilla94 replied to BrickG's topic in General LEGO Discussion
Wanting a multicultural Lego city is no minority opinion. The concept of "mulicultural = different races" is. Culture is a social construct. It shows in language, traditions and so on. If you take the dark skinned minifigure from the second Harry Potter series and switch hands and face to yellow 99% will still see the clothing style mostly people from africa or with african heritage wear. Personally I like fleshies when it comes to darker licence themes. Batman with a yellow face in his Black and yellow suit would look stupid. With the colour scheme of lotr yellow faces would be too bright in contrast. In-house characters can be designed to be cartoonish and that style is what i love most about Lego. I'd not boykott Lego for changing that. I'd just loose interest in most figures if the cute little guys aren't yellow anymore. -

Maybe Lego wants to save money. 12 instead of 16 new moulds for a 4€-Product line. -

Team GB had 9. Maybe it's just Looney toons and a second licenced cmf? -
I don't want to be annoying, but could someone who ownes the skull sorcerer's Dragon set maybe scan one of the wings for me with a ruler next to it? I'd love to build a custom Balrog and would like to make similar wings for him without boneprints but the quite similar shape. With Kind regards, Gorilla

LEGO Collectable Minifigures Future Series Rumours

I think a blind minifigure would work with arm printing, but I guess it would get a regular bar piece as guiding stick. I have problems imaging a dog harness piece. Would it be made out of two parts, so it is possible to adjust the ankle? We have a lot of dog moulds in different sizes now. What do you guys think? Any chance to get more Greek/Roman Gods? I have to say the cow-costume from the fan series is really cute. I´d love to get that. A Kangaroo would be nice, too. Series 20 felt really strange to me... the programmer with the robot looking like an apple product, Drone enthusiast, pea costume... I feel a bit old thinking back to earlier serieses.^^´ -
I think it could be done like the Gamorean Guards, Watto and Ewoks from Star Wars with a very large moulded head covering the Torso.
-
I really hope they make Tweety and Speedy little animal moulds. Tweety could be in one bag with Granny, who doesn´t need new moulds. Silvester with medium legs would look so good next to them. The disney figures would have been so much better with medium sized legs for the grown up ducks and mice and long limbs for Goofy, Jack and Sally.

I am not really a fan of the theme, but ths series has really cool pieces. I´ll get Neville with the monster book, Dumble Dore and the gnome with that great sword. I wonder why there are 5 different medium sized legs and torso-combination for Gryffendor and not a single one for the other houses. Lego could just reuse the Gryffendor print designs and change the colours and symbols.

And a plain yellow torso... i am always fascinated thinking about the fact that he was in the same set as the incredible green goblin with Golden eyes :D -
LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series 20. Rumors and discussion
Gorilla94 replied to Robert8's topic in Special LEGO Themes
I think it´s just combining everything, that increases the price. - It is a incredible pretty historical figure - you can use it for army builing (i wouldn´t want a clone army if they don´t wear uniforms, but i am maybe just to much of a perfectionist... There are mocs with 300 clone series 2 spartans, too. ) - it has an insane amount of usefull parts. - It has the licence bonus because it is basicly a Rohirim from lord of the rings (and the dual moulded arms can be used to update Legolas). - Corona limiting the possibility to feel for the bags in many places are great circumstances for every scalper who is able to hoard big amounts of vikings. - On the other hand everyone can get these figures in Lego stores now, where employees feel the bags for you. But it is limited to one of each... So many children will get the cool wiking they want and army builders can only buy one. -
Does anyone have a clue where we could get sails printed on both sides?

LEGO Star Wars 2020 Set Discussion - READ FIRST POST!!!
Gorilla94 replied to MKJoshA's topic in LEGO Star Wars
The tank is quite iconic. I don't know how many hours I spend in it playing the old Pandemic battlefront 2 game. It is the kind of little model that creates new AFOLs, who wouldn't buy a 200 or 350€ set but still stay loyal customers giving Lego money on a regular basis. I think our chances are higher to get more old EU-sets after the "success" of Disneys own productions (except Mandalorian of course). If it wouldn't be kicked out of the competition because of the existing SW licence i'd put a Ebon Hawk Set on Lego ideas... would sell like sliced bread among video game nerds as well as Star wars fans :/ -
DC Superheroes 2020 - Rumors & Discussion

I think that is mostly personal taste. I prefer Captain America with mask instead of just a printed head, too. Don't know why i dislike the stud on the head so much.^^' -

DC Superheroes 2020 - Rumors & Discussion
Gorilla94 replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
Oh, sorry^^' I wasn't sure about that. Never understood the "I only collect official purist figures"-thing. I only prefer official ones because making my customs is an insane amount of work so that I only make them when I give up hope on Lego delivering missing characters... ^^' If it was more about the ability to do customs on a official quality level, this custom figure would be great for beginners. -

Cmf Jokers suit, the weird pearl dark grey mask from an alien space theme and a custom printed head making a skull with teeth out of this mask should work well. -
LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series 20. Rumors and discussion
Gorilla94 replied to Robert8's topic in Special LEGO Themes
The knight really is a great figure. His Torso and legs combined with different Brickwarriors helmets is going to be my castles royal guard :) On top of that the sword mould is gorgeous and perfect for Boromir from lotr, if you cut of the round thing at the end of the sword and glue a more fitting end from a custom weapon on it :) -
Is it time for LEGO to stop being colorblind?
Gorilla94 replied to BrickG's topic in General LEGO Discussion
Changing licences to flesh colours was the beginning of my dark ages, because the prisoner of Askaban flesh figures would have looked stupid next to my cartoonish yellow ones from book 1 and 2. If it wasn't changed i'd probably have bought Lego for a few years more... I doubt it would have a positive effect in the short term... at best it would be neutral in the long term sales. -
To be honest I'd pur him quite low on my list, because he is just in the intro and would require at least 3 Moulds (helmet, shoulder armor and Mace) as well as a reuse of the old toy story limbs ... which doesn't mean i wouldn't like to get him
-
Hehe... just recognised they are named different in German :) Thought this was only the case with Dagobert/Scrooge McDuck and some other Disney ones.^^' Thanks for the clarification :) ... I think you can't get too much or even just enough different orcs. There is no clone in my little horde... even the 6 elite ones wearing Uruk hai armor have different facial expressions and skin colours.^^' A Middle Earth line has potential. The Dwarfs would be so much better with printed medium sized legs and a few prints on their already existing beard pieces (like Gloin or Nori). Boromir needs Dual moulded arms so badly... a few other characters like Thorin would benefits from dual moulding extremely, too. the few missing Characters like Eowyn, Witchking or Thror and Thrain don't require many new moulds. Eowyn with a armoured Torso showing no female outlines would be easily as popular as the Cmf20's Viking.

Oh, I forgot Tom and Jerry I agree. Would have been a great pack much more interesting than for example the 2016 Ghostbusters :/ I´d love Asterix. I know so many teachers that would buy sets from such a line for making photo montages as a introuction for latin classes... and an insane amount of parents boykotting Scifi-Mechs and tanks, who would buy Asterix for their children day one. Comic fans would buy them, history nerds would army build the roman legions and fantasy/castle fans would be interested in the village sets and civilian torso and leg pieces... With the large beards Asterix would be one of the few comics that work without moulded heads. You could just give the figures the existing moustache piece, introduce a second slightly different beard (for example for Automatix), a special one for Miraculix and a few new helmet pieces and it would work. I am sorry, but English isn´t my first language. What does "had a good run" mean exactly? I know the Hobbit line wasn´t very successfull... In my opinion the problem was (besides the unpopular third film) that the sets were mostly really bad... especially the laketown sets and the battle of the 5 minifigures :/ An iron hill dwarfs battle pack or the entrance to Erebor with a few dwarfs defending it against the orcs (in armor, not the ugly version without even hairpiece) would pretty sure sell well.

Disney- not as costumed humans but real Comic characters with medium legs for the adult ducks and mice. A big money bin, a small 313-car... something with Goofy including long arms and legs and especially Pluto as animal like Scooby Doo was done and not as a costumed guy. Garfield - one small set with Odie and Garfield using moulded heads. Looney toons cmf. Simpsons as a real theme with smaller playsets reusing the moulded heads and introducing the handfull of missing ones. Any fantasy theme delivering orcs and dwarfs. Wow, Warhammer, Dwarfs, ... i dont care about the title in the box.
