Do we know anything about the figures in "76118 - Batman and Robin & Freeze Battle"? A Schwarzenegger Mr. Freeze would be my minifigure of the year no matter what else would be released...^^´ -
LEGO Disney Minifigures & D2Cs - Rumors and Discussion
Gorilla94 replied to Robert8's topic in LEGO Licensed
Wahahahaha... Thank you x'D I think it wouldn't be that much of a problem to introduce medium Legs now. We dont know which characters will appear. I dont think Wendy is that popular. You can use Peter and Hook without her. She is pretty useless without them. A rerelease of Peter Pan is quite unlikely. He is flying half of the movie. I could not say anything about his size difference to Wendy. To be honest i think he is actually a bit taller than her... and much smaller than hook. The scales of the figures are already completely wrong. I guess the potential of selling an army of the little Aliens for Mocs of the Pizza planet scene in the first Movie or at least three of them instead of only one Woody was also a reason. It also saved Potential für series 2. With which character would you team up any side character if the two Main protagonists aren't included?- 961 replies

The Lego Movie 2 - The Second Part 2019 Set Discussion
Gorilla94 replied to Fenghuang0296's topic in Special LEGO Themes
?I am quite optimistic with that. She ist just too adorable to be left out. And to be honest... there aren't that many possibilities for brilliant costumes anymore. -
It looks like the final set is a medium quality ideasproject and the fan Moc was the real set made by professional designers, who live from that and have access to all the bricks they want. The final set is so incomplete and poorly done. There is no love at all. The Mail Box without "the", missing Dino&Kids, Barney with long legs(this is unforgivable badly done). I could go in and on. If i was the original Designer who put so much love and effort in this project, this insultingly bad set would make me cry. It is unbelievable. I love Lego bricks and minifigures. I live for Comics drawing 90% of the time i don't have to work. My childhood was Lego and Cartoons. You can't find someone more forgiving (i would even pay the 60€ just for the figures of the original Ideas project) but Lego really manages it to produce that bad products for Toy Story and the Flintstones that i wont buy them. If i had to give a grade it was a F. Just because there is no lower one. Everything which isn't bad is not made by Lego.

Looks like...

You should. It is such a great set - the best Toy Story Set in my opinion ond one of my favourite ones in general. The only bad thing is the spoiler connected with only 2 studs, so it will fall off very often while driving. If you just put it on your shelf without interest in playing with it, it is perfect for you. Are there pictures of the army men? These could at least be something interesting to me. Right now i am just dissaponted by these new sets. They are so poorly done... Boo Peep with normal legs and arms is useless for my existing Toy Story collection. I have the old Rex. there is a difference. The new one has printed eyebrows which are unbelievable ugly in my opinion. The duck is made ok, i guess. The bunny is terrible to me... Maybe the most terrible Minifigure i know. His size doesn´t fit (which is a minor problem because every scale is broken) but also doesn´t represent the character at all. He is fat like Lotso so he needs a mould like him. It looks like making Jabba the Hut a friends doll... The only positive thing i can see right now are the two new hats for Wild west Mocs. The worst thing is how much i love the licence and lego. I tried so hard to look for something positive in this sets :( At least i was hoping to get a good Boo Beep and printed arms for Woody. I have to search for a custom solution.

I don´t want to annoy you or be off topic, but could you please tell me where the right ones torso is from? It Looks fantastic combined with the arms and legs :) -
If there were no studs on the base i would not recognise this is build with bricks. it looks so much like a regular action figure. I really admire your talent!

[MOC] The Earth
Gorilla94 replied to thire5's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Impressing! :D -
I got the Lego Oasis Ambush 5938 with the tape when i was a kid and listened to the Story of Johnny Thunder hundreds of times in my childhood. When i was 6 years old i got the Sphinx 5978... These Sets made me search for books about history. I wanted to become a archeologist, get a job in a Museum or something comparable since that time. It motivated me to get good grades to be able to study history. Now there are my final exams soon. There are no minifigures that could come anywhere near to that level of emottional Investment i have with Joe Freeman, Prof. Articus, an Linda Lovely (thats the way Johnny Thunder, Prof. Killroy and Pippin Reed were called in the german version). I made a lot of custom printed Minifigures to complete my collection Lego left unfinished (Simpsons and Lord of the Rings). They are the ones i am most proud of having them in my collection. Just looking at the design i can´t really choose a fair favourite. Licenced and unlicenced Figures are a comletely different thing. If you create your own lego Knight, you can make everything perfectly fitting with the style of a minifigure from the first scratch on. Making a licence character means to transfer a existing and in most cases much more complex design into Lego. Making an Uruk-Hai or Spidermen with web printing araund the head and the red Stripes on his arms a good lego minifigure is a much bigger achievement than making a cute costume cmf. Lego Theoden in armor is a gorgeous little guy, but legs and arms without Armor don´t represent the character perfectly. that is something that stays in my head and what unlicenced figures dont have to care about. Beauce of that i would separate them in the two categories. From the licenced minifigures i would choose Gimli and most of the dwarfs in Thorins Fellowship. The only thing that was done pretty poorly was the hairpiece of Kili used for Torin and Fili, which don´t hae quivers... The Lego Batman Movie Riddler is outstanding in my opinion with printed question marks on his Arms and the two new moulds for him. One of my favourite minifigures of all time will also be the Green Goblin from the lego studio sets. I got the one with golden Eye Patterns when i was a kid and love him till today, He is even more impressing thinking about how early he was produced. Between the unlicenced minifigures my favourits by design are the outstandig Anubis guard, some of the costumed minifigures (GORILLA, Dragon, Elephant, Lizard, Unicorn, Giraffe), Shakespeare from the Lego Movie Series and some other historical Figures like the Caveman from Series 1. I love what they represent eaqually and they are done in perfection.

I hope we get that legs and arms in other Themes too. Goofy and Sauron would benefit from that, too.

DC Superheroes 2019 - Rumours, Speculation & Discussion
Gorilla94 replied to Anonknee Muss's topic in LEGO Licensed
Thank you all for your responses. My thought was maybe the rumored D2C vehicle could be the Akrham Knight Batmobil. I mean we got heigh Ledger Joker that way with the tumbler and later a small set with Bane from the dark Knight rises... They are both way darker than Jason in the game. I also can imagine it would sell quite well. -
I think Lego wont do stuff like that because it isn´t kidfriendly. The cmf is made for figures who would not be released in a set like some designers said.in Interviews. The butcher has a steak. I think we can all agree Lego won´t produce a modular building slaughterhouse or even a shop for meat with some working space in the back, don´t we? The arktic sets, the cmfs and the rerelease of the cmfs in different colours Show that Lego knows how popular stoneage stuff is, but the company isn´t willing to make sets with a caveman who hunts down a Mammoth or a cavewoman collecting vegetable and being chased by a sabertooth. Both of them would drive Peta- and Femen activists insane. So they put his stuff in separated packeds. Lego isn´t responsible if Kids Play this way by themself. The hunter with duck would be inviting to play "killing the duck", so i would say certainly "no, there will never be such a cmf".

LEGO Disney Minifigures & D2Cs - Rumors and Discussion
Gorilla94 replied to Robert8's topic in LEGO Licensed
Ok that´s a point. Not save bet but very, very likely. in my oninion as likely as Mickey. In many countries he is more popular like Borex said. In Germany for example it´s absolutely the case. Simpsons 2 also included the whole Family again and with medium legs there would be indeed a for most people acceptable reason to do so with Mickey, Minnie, Daisy and Donald..- 961 replies

DC Superheroes 2019 - Rumours, Speculation & Discussion
Gorilla94 replied to Anonknee Muss's topic in LEGO Licensed
Thank you :) Hm... this is pure speculation but could there maybe be an Arkham Knight? I am Thinking about tue possibility to reuse Fireflys Headgear since i aw it for the first time. I think it is because of the target group. Most kids play with Lego for a certain time. If we say they start with 3 and stop with 13 (or at least stop putting mostly Lego on the wishlist we have a Time of about 10 years (= 20 big Birthday- and Christmas-presents - or less if they don't know the catalog when they are really small). I got 2 times a Ship (one Pirate, one Spain), Fort Legorado, the Shphinx from Adventurers, a big Castle ... sometimes a combination of a few smaller sets like Lego Studios and some Harry potter-sets... I also got a few smaller Sets like the sherriffs office, when i had very good results in school. But that is it. I think the average Batman loving Kid will get a Batmobil, Batcave and a few smaller Sets with some different Villans so he has at least a handfull of the most infamous enemies like Joker, Pinguin and Twoface in different occasions. Then they will probably get more likely a Star Wars Ship than a second high priced dc Set. From that perspective the best way is to have some of the most iconic stuff allways on shelves and put a lesser known special character like Zukus in the new Slave 1 into sets here and there so collectors keep staying and the new set looks more interesting compared to the old ones on Ebay than to bring something completely new from the same universe but much less know every year so a few AFOLs can get a whole room of Gotham City display. Parents are also more generous, when they understand what they are buying. Everbody knows Batman. There are a lot more people who would buy their kids a Batcave than a Teen Titans Tower. Thats why Bilbos home was allways sold in my local stores and you were able to get some of the other hobbit Sets like the one with Beorn a random piece of wall and two Orcs everywhere even years after Lego stopped production. That AFOLs end up with the uncountable Xwings, Slave 1s, Batcaves, Police stations and so on in a much longer Time of buying is the much lesser problem for Lego than Kids buying others companys toys because Lego doesn't deliver what most of them want (which does not mean i don't think a Teen Titans Tower would be a sweet set) -

Gorilla94 replied to Anonknee Muss's topic in LEGO Licensed
It will become a Tuning gag if it aus 4 figures... Ok, the there could be in deed a Hush mad hatter or something like that. I don't know the comics as well as many here. Are there connections between Killer croc, Captain Boomerang and Katarna or between Harley and Deadshot so we can speculate how likely a Charakter is to appear in a team with Clayface or Joker?. -
DC Superheroes 2019 - Rumours, Speculation & Discussion
Gorilla94 replied to Anonknee Muss's topic in LEGO Licensed
Ok, if you looks at it that way it makes sence. I also get it with Clayface beeing a bigfig or minifig instead of a brickbuild charakter for the first time (even if i don't want a minifigure of him because i am happy with the TLBM version) and wondered for some time why there was no Twoface for so long time till we got one in the Movie sets. But is Lego working that way? I think most Kids don't care about the Logo in tue box, even both include specific Gotham villans fighting batmen ? -

I think Donald and Micky are a save bet. They are too iconic to be left out because the average customer will likely don't have them. I hope for a nee mould with closed mouth.- 961 replies

DC Superheroes 2019 - Rumours, Speculation & Discussion
Gorilla94 replied to Anonknee Muss's topic in LEGO Licensed
Is there so much room? (I don't mean that Ironic. If it sounds that way, it is because of English not beeing my first language) in my experience there is maybe one addational villan to the Main one and twoface came in 3 of 2 versions with random henchmen and one Time alone. Joker had noname gang members, too. In the batcave there could also be Alfred, a Bruce Wayne, Robin or Barbara Gordan figure instead of a supporting villan for Clayface. To be honest i think we are Lucky if there is at least one new character like Hush ? They were a rumor going f rom a quite strong Source if i fit it fight. But you are correct. It was said long time ago. I dont understand why there comes a new twoface with the TLBM one still on a lot of shelves in town. The only already existing character i would love to get is an Arkham games inspired Catwoman with new Headgear. -
