Agreed I even guessed he would be short for that very reason. I think his short size adds to his character, though.

Pics, please?

Janus would be very easy, just print a double-sided head and leave it uncovered! For Egypt, I was thinking: Sobek: Reuse Chima mask or have new croc mold Anubis: Easy reuse of PQ head with new body prints Osiris: New crown mold, crook and flail Set: Wild dog head, red skin Horus or Ra: Falcon head mold, sun disc for the latter, khopesh for the former Due to current events, I doubt the goddess of magic would make an appearance.

Transforming fortresses sound interesting. They touched on that with the Flying Phoenix Temple in Chima...

I don't get it either, but "Hercules" is more popular, and most people grow up knowing that name, so it sounds better to them. Shouldn't the Roman name include "Juno" somewhere?

I just noticed that the Banshee is floating above her shelf on the checklist. Such a great little detail!

YES, Baba Yaga would be my dream CMF! I love witches and have Russian heritage, so she'd be perfect.

The only Arkham figs we've gotten were Mr. Freeze and Robin in the Asylum set. While DW's hair would work well for Joker (and give Mark Hamill yet another minifig representation) I don't think it's in one of the sets we know about. If they made him, then they'd probably have to make a Titan Joker bigfig that could be repurposed for Doomsday...

I just don't get why LEGO doesn't notice or care about this problem. The quality issue they're recalling it for is not the head rotation, but it's glaringly obvious, and should have been fixed before it was finalized.

In this idea, I was referring to classical Greek/Roman myths, but I imagine they could make some other mythological characters. Norse might be awkward due to Marvel, but Egyptian figs might work, although the characters seem less recognizable. I just felt that they were already building a subtheme of Greek/Roman figs (both real and mythological), so that's what I envisioned. The MMO also has a"Mythology" world, but it only includes the Greek/Roman elements. I would stick to older myths that are no longer celebrated, if I were LEGO. Making Hindu gods could be seen as offensive since they're still recognized. Kali would be amazing, though...

Oh, that moving-eyes painting is actually sort of creepy.

I don't know if they would dare to do a cherubic Cupid, as it could come too close to modern religious imagery. However, he could use a pair of wings like the Gargoyle's with feathers instead. Icarus seems a little dark. How would they dumb it down? "Icarus loves to fly around, but his wings are always falling apart in the workshop"? A siren might be redundant, and LEGO seems to be in favor of accuracy, so she'd be more birdlike than fishy. Yes, there are no rumors for such a series yet, but there don't need to be for us to speculate about things we might never get!

Zombie Crash Test Dummy! I don't know, I doubt another series will happen, as they'd avoid most of the classics (another vampire would be repetitive, unless it was a Nosferatu style, and we've seen plenty of witches).

I always hated that face, but at least it's updated.

Good ideas. The Battle Goddess and Ocean King weren't called by their names, though.

I was thinking that LEGO might want to do another themed series, as Monsters has become such a hit. I figured the next one would be Mythology, which has been another popular subtheme of the Minifigures, with less representation. This is what we have so far: Minotaur Ocean King Cyclops Medusa Battle Goddess Lady Cyclops Here are some ideas I have for a set of 16 and the standard five females: * King of the Gods- reuse laurel-crown hair, Fisherman beard, have a skirt for a toga, lightning-bolt accessory * Lord of the Dead- Skull accessory, black/green robe, white skin, black hair. * Hunting Goddess- Bow/arrow, moon designs on robes, new hair? * Love Goddess- Crystal heart piece (as seen in Friends/DP), long Elizabeth Swann hair, white robe, clamshell accessory * Satyr- possibly reuse Gargoyle head (although a new piece would be better, two peg legs with the feet painted black, Pan pipes accessory * Grey Sister- This one is designed to be bought in threes. An old crone in a grey cloak with a 1x1 eye tile, and two faces. One with empty eye sockets, and one with an eye in it. When set up in a group, one of them can have the eye in, or none of them can while the eye is being passed. For simplicity's sake, all of them can have the tooth. * Messenger God- new winged helmet to allow for Flash customs as well, caduceus staff, satchel * Wicked Weaver- Human-spider hybrid like Spinlyn, but perhaps with fewer pieces, or an arrogant Greek female with a spindle and a spider accessory. * Strong Hero- club piece, lion-skin robe, snake accessory * Gorgon Slayer- Spartan helmet, reuse Battle Goddess's shield, have wings printed on side of feet. * Harpy- short female with Man-Bat style arms, but with feathered wings. Ugly face, perhaps with Chima-esque beak printed on it. * Centaur- new horse-like lower body with pegs to insert into torso * War God- Spear, shield, Spartan helmet, angry face with red eyes and red armor? * Music God- Lyre accessory, sun designs on robes, bow and arrow * Party God- Bunch of grapes, laurel crown hair, purple robes, thrysus staff or goblet * Blacksmith God- scarred face, recolored Mjolnir, sword (perhaps in a glowing orange state), brown robes I'm not entirely sure how well these would sell, but there's definitely a market for it, and it seems like the next theme LEGO could expand on, without repeat characters to complain about. Any other ideas that would work better?

I wanted to get the Banshee, but the only possible answers are Fly Monster, Specter, Monster Rocker, and Zombie Businessman. At least, I think so...the image name of the ZB is "Zombie Yuppy"!

I'm the Zombie Businessman, according to the quiz!

I understand, but there's been speculation about a DnD-style theme, which we got with Games' Heroica sets. This theme could probably be turned into an RPG easily, but I doubt it will take explicit cues from notable RPG games.

Ghostface looks great. I can see so many Scream MOCs now that the Specter is out!

This would be really cool if it were real. I think those Gargoyle wings could be so useful in different colors. Demons, Gorgons, and several other abominations!

Grim Reaper, Scarecrow, Mummy Queen, Witch Doctor/Voodoo Doll, Ghoul, Undertaker...I don't know. I don't think another series of monsters will happen, but based on this one's popularity, I'm expecting another "concept" series.

If these are so popular, do you suppose they'd do another series of monsters in 2017? I don't know what it'd include, but LEGO might seize the opportunity based on the sales of these guys. Or maybe they'll tap into another theme, like Mythology, Castle, or Space...

Not anymore...minifigs are a powerful motivator for buying a set.

It's not an RPG-style theme. There are knights and an evil jester, along with some fire/lava villains, and this theme seems to be similar in spirit to Chima and Ninjago.
