LEGO Collectable Minifigures Future Series Rumours

TBH I would love a crowd-pleasing Marvel series, especially if it had a few more X-men -
LEGO Collectable Minifigures Future Series Rumours

Fair. I agree a series full of retro remakes is the least likely of all. AFOLs like to think they’re the audience that counts, but it still needs general shelf appeal for tiny people. -

My preference is always for a classic series, which is generous on both animals & historic/fantasy type figures. I think it’s ’too soon’ for a themed ‘normal‘ series after Space & Animals, so I’d assume a classic series would just have a throwback figure or two. On licensed series - I wouldn’t be surprised if Simpsons came back as CMFs next year, but my preference would be either series 2 of Muppets or Sesame Street. That said, I think the chances of any of those straight after the Shrek series seem less. On balance then, my prediction is a ‘classic’ normal series with a couple of throwback figures to celebrate s30. -
Are nuthatches sexually dimorphic? I didn’t think they were. Another plausibility is that it’s another species without the chest colour - perhaps a shrike as @Roebuck suggested way back wham
-
Yeah it turns out the nuthatch comes in two varieties - who knew?!

Your winter village sounds mighty *fancy*

Sames Yeah it’s a ‘patronus’ in their lore, like a magical projection. All the moulds that started as patronuses (trans blue colour) have eventually been made into ‘real’ animals. Now some that started as real animals have been used as patronuses too. So yes, they can. How long that might take to happen is anyone’s guess. The new dog mould is a jack russell terrier
-
It’s the flying great grey owl, all over again. (though I can see it’s more logical as it’s a specific IP character: there’s zero excuse with an actual species)
-
Yeah I share this fear.
-
I can’t see the Scar image. Agree that the Tram set is visually a really nice set, even aside from the animal additions! And yes, the seal in brown is much better than the light grey one.
-
It’s slightly different in the image, missing the orange chest printing. However we should probably assume that’s just a render issue & it’s just a straight reuse.
-
Agree the flying phoenix looks excellent 🐦🔥

One difference is that ‘fawn’ is understood to be a young deer, whereas ‘calf’ will always need identified by the type of animal (as cows, whales, elephants etc all have young referred to as that). So people might use ‘fawn’ specifically (in English) for brevity & specificity.
-
‘Calf’ for reindeer / caribou. Fawn tends to be reserved for smaller and more foresty deer species, though in some it’s interchangeable. I’m sure it also varies by language/ translation
-
Er no I don’t think it really could stand in for any real life canids
