LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series 23. Rumors and discussion
Robert8 replied to Robert8's topic in Special LEGO Themes
Oh god no I don't think a link between the number of the series and the year is needed at all I can only hope we'll get at least Series 24 next year..... maybe in May? -
Same happened with Tower of Fate...... and now we know

Knights of Valor 2022 rumored theme

I'd seem the OP was desperate for some attention and just made this up -
You had to make up some bs to get some attention I wonder who's the loser here.....

Knights of Valor 2022 rumored theme
Robert8 replied to Mr No's topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
What is this rumor??? It sounds a lot like Fantasy Era I wonder if the animals or creatures like the trolls will be Friends/Elves-styled. If they want to target this to boys/girls they would have to take a less "cute" with animals and such, right? -
I'm really doubting this rumor... Time will tell I guess, but after what just happened with the Tower of Fate last week......
-
I'm planning to post the teaser on February 22th, and then the whole series on March 1st

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on several minifigures :) ---------------------- About the Supreme Leader, if I have to pin point a real life military inspiration, I'd say WW2 Japanese uniform, which is used in several Sci-Fi anime/manga

That was an interesting bit about the sphinx. Wish I could make a (female) greek sphinx... Well, anyway. Let's finish the reviews off with SERIES X Series X was a return to form in some many ways. It left a good taste of mouth for sure I really can't pick a favorite from this series: Evil Mermaid, Steampunk Explorer, Wild West Lady and Combined Mecha are all strong entries, and would make great CMF if real I wish TLG would at least try with one steampunk minifigure in a CMF wave. At least 1... As I said before, Apollo aka Olympian Archer wasn't included in my final lists, but I saw several people asking for him, so I made him. The minifigure that I was going make instead was a Gremlin. But a more "classic" take on the character based on the stories from the 40s. I also considered a brownie, which is some sort of domestic elf Evil Mermaid and Golem were the ones that took the most work to complete. Golem actually surprised me because I didn't expect him to be that hard to make. It took me lots of time compared with the rest. Wild West Lady biggest challenge was the color scheme. I tried several. But and the end I went with red, because that just screams wild west. Also, as a nod to my original idea which was that she was Calamity Drone before Lord Business translated her consciousness in a robot Another challenge from this series was having 2 chess pieces for the first time. I think I like the queen a little bit better than the king. In my ranking this ones goes under SERIES T but above SERIES O SERIES F SERIES K SERIES R SERIES V SERIES T SERIES X SERIES O SERIES M SERIES U SERIES Ñ SERIES C SERIES I SERIES P SERIES Q SERIES E SERIES L SERIES J SERIES S SERIES G SERIES A SERIES W SERIES N SERIES B SERIES H SERIES D

I'm not too crazy about this series.... This is actually the only time I've reached to other fellow CMF artists over IG to ask them for feedback before posting the series. Friends like CM4Sci or such shared a couple of thoughts, and I ended up replacing a character, and revamping another one And while I think there was an improvement, I still don't think SERIES W is as good as others. Sphinx is male because there are not female egyptian sphinxes. The wings are a little bit of an extra for a fancy effect, but you can remove them for a more accurate look Carnival Man was a last minute addition, as I said earlier. He came to replace another character. I wanted to make a female.... but, well... You already know. Cymbal Monkey.... my god. That one took me ages to figure it out. Like forever.... I made at least 10 versiones before I found the one that made me 100% happy. There will be another Thunder God Karalora.... So...... That name might be taken. I'm actually taking a break from working on him to type this Pumpkin Head is yet another character that was listed for the Spooky Calendar, but I wanted the pumpkin head to be exclusive for the Headless Horseman in the calendar, so I brought the Pumpkin Head to this series. Gnome Girl is supposed to be a real gnome rather than a garden one in Series 4 Several minifigures can actually be real CMFs: Streamer, Gnome Girl, Volleyball Player. Now after seeing Amelia Earhart's set I suspect TLG would release a Frida Khalo fleshie minifigure in a little set instead of a random yellow look-alike in a regular CMF series. I was asked for permission to physically produce and sell some minifigures from this series, like the Cymbal Monkey (not by TLG of course). I wonder what happened with that. It's been a while since the last time I heard of it. And well, my ranking goes: SERIES F SERIES K SERIES R SERIES V SERIES T SERIES O SERIES M SERIES U SERIES Ñ SERIES C SERIES I SERIES P SERIES Q SERIES E SERIES L SERIES J SERIES S SERIES G SERIES A SERIES W SERIES N SERIES B SERIES H SERIES D As expected, Series W falls in the bottom half Thanks @Karalora for reviewing all the series so far. Means a lot to me :)

I wonder if TLG is behind this fake rumor.... Not too long ago they pulled a stunt like that It's too suspicious that even trusted leakers fell for this one.... there must be a really good reason for that

Could a "Like" button be introduced?
Robert8 replied to Lego David's topic in Forum Information and Help
I thought it would be like enabling a poll or something. But if it is indeed not allowed then lets just ignore my suggestion -
Could a "Like" button be introduced?
Robert8 replied to Lego David's topic in Forum Information and Help
Maybe an optional "like button" feature? Like whenever you're going to start a new thread you can enable the option to "like" posts in that specific thread But if you want feedback through comments, then you just don't enable said option -
Another strong series. SERIES V is an example of what I like in a real CMF: a little bit of everything. I'll say right off the bat: Monster Fighter is my favorite from this series. But then again Alraune, Dark Elf and Marionette are also quite strong. Karalora, you're spot on on some of the comments here: Train Collector meant to be 2x1 character, and also Monster Figther is meant to be a 2x1. As pointed out, she could also be paired with the SERIES P Monster Hunter. Of course, Val Helsing was an inspiration. The bottle (of Holy Water) she has hanging from her belt, is inspired by the one in the movie. At some point, I also considered making a Witch Hunter, but again: not enough spots I'm really sorry I was only able to include 2 egyptian deities, At least includeing Osiris would had been nice. Next series, had the Sphinx... which is at least something From this series, I'm afraid Pinocchio showing up on a Disney CMF would prevent them from releasing a more classic take on the character in a regular CMF. Similar to Hades Not much else to say about this one. Very pleased with the results. I'll rank this series under SERIES R but above SERIES T SERIES F SERIES K SERIES R SERIES V SERIES T SERIES O SERIES M SERIES U SERIES Ñ SERIES C SERIES I SERIES P SERIES Q SERIES E SERIES L SERIES J SERIES S SERIES G SERIES A SERIES N SERIES B SERIES H SERIES D

Disney Properties 2022 - Rumors & Discussion

Even if you put it in a minifigure, it would still have minidoll eyes. -

How odd.... including the face as part of the mold is really bizarre -
Disney Properties 2022 - Rumors & Discussion
Robert8 replied to Soupperson1's topic in LEGO Licensed
Yeah, you're right. It might be molded all together like the Caveman hairpiece from CMF S1 Just like Barbie did recently, I think TLG will have to include more body types in the minidoll range -
Another good series IMO. That's 2 in a row. And there's going to be 3 in a row with Series V, but we'll get to that later My biggest dislike about this series is that a lot of characters have printed tiles as an accesory. A couple of them are nice, but I don't like something like Simpsons, where pretty much everyone came with a printed tile. I tried to change that, but.... well I failed. All of the printed tiles were really needed. Lots of holdovers here, which made the process a lot faster than usual. Chocolate Girl, Father Time and Kung Fu Master were all made for earlier series but ended up being pushed back to this one. You're right about the scepter. I made for both the Magical Girl and the Olympian Messenger. So, tried different versions that would fit both. The Plague Doctor from Series X was a bonus that I originally didn't have in mind. Bullfighter was a last minute inclusion. I'm aware of the controversy he comes with, but aesthetically one can't deny that the Matador outfit is just beautiful. I must say I don't support/like/approve the senseless killing of bulls. The idea how Color Festival Boy came to be is rather funny. Over IG, some people reach to me to send me suggestions for my series. And for some reason, several people keep suggesting like Drag Queen or Pride Festival Parade Guy or stuff like that, which honestly, I don't think will ever happen. But I was thinking: how would LEGO name such minifigure? Color Festival Guy? And then the idea of a Holi festival boy came to me like a lightning strike. I really liked how he turned out. And I agree @Karalora, the Holi festival should be such a great experience to be part of Father Time and Baby New Year were going to be separate characters, but the now with the baby mold. even the Maggie Simpson torso looks like at least a Toddler. Going by the name BABY New Year, it wouldn't really work. You're right about the Psychologist, Freud never used the Rorschach Test, as far as I know, but it makes for such a nice accesory that I couldn't help myself. I tried several of these: A playmobil figurine silhouette, a brick separator silhouette or the Kragle from TLM, but none of those looked good enough. But one of the ones I posted looks a bit like a demonic version of Mickey Mouse, right? RIGHT? Magicial Girl, Narwhal Girl and Chocolate Girl are the ones I think have the better chances of being made. I'll place this series under SERIES M but about SERIES Ñ SERIES F SERIES K SERIES R SERIES T SERIES O SERIES M SERIES U SERIES Ñ SERIES C SERIES I SERIES P SERIES Q SERIES E SERIES L SERIES J SERIES S SERIES G SERIES A SERIES N SERIES B SERIES H SERIES D

Disney Properties 2022 - Rumors & Discussion
Robert8 replied to Soupperson1's topic in LEGO Licensed
That isn't a reuse of the Series 7 Ocean King hairpiece, right? It looks longer I think Triton looks odd with a slim body. They did the same with Ursula, and neither of those really work with that body I like how the carriage came out. And the inclusion of the sister. I wonder if they'll ever release Melody. ..................... Also, apparently, one the songs from "Encanto" is now like the more popular Disney song ever or something like that It even dethroned "Let it go" from FROZEN, so I wouldn't be surprised if we get more Encanto sets. -
LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series 23. Rumors and discussion
Robert8 replied to Robert8's topic in Special LEGO Themes
It's 2 regular + 1 licensed series Some sort of miracle And no, I've never played the game (Although I know about it) -
A strong return to the regular CMFs IMHO. I really like how this one got together A funny trivia bit for Series T is that I had to replace some of the characters from this series, because CM4Sci made a regular series around this time, and there were some coincidences, like Dentist or Streamer/Gamer Girl. Both of those went to Series W Arachne is character that I really like from mythology, although she is not as popular as Medusa. I think something like that could work as a CMF. The same archetype is pretty popular in Japan under the name of Jorogumo, which would add to the appeal of the minifigures Lots of hits in this one (for me): Farmer Girl, Arachne, Time Traveler, Egg Guy, Blind Man, Hypnotist and Magical Girl. I'm very pleased on how all of those came out. Evil Mastermid was going to be an Ogel throwback, but I changed my mind because I already had an updated King Kahuka in this series. As you said, around this time I started to include more pieces because of the price of the CMF IRL. About the Time Traveler, I had to say it was a he when I first thought of it. And he was going to included a little time travel machine H.G Wells-style But I'm glad I went for a female. And damn I should had started with the Steampunk characters earlier. They are so cool to make. Food Delivery Guy is something that actually came out of the appreciation for the delivery services during the pandemic. Speaking of which, the pandemic gave me the idea of Syringe Suit Guy, who almost made it into this Series T Also, at some point I wanted to make another team member of the Magical Girl's gang. Maybe blue or green. But AGAIN... not enough spots. I can't really believe when some people say there arentn many ideas left for regular series :O SERIES T goes really high in my ranking. Actually I'd say its almost a tie with Series R.... SERIES F SERIES K SERIES R SERIES T SERIES O SERIES M SERIES Ñ SERIES C SERIES I SERIES P SERIES Q SERIES E SERIES L SERIES J SERIES S SERIES G SERIES A SERIES N SERIES B SERIES H SERIES D

Damn those look excellent! I like Batman and Joker a bit more than Harley mostly because she has the red/blue color scheme instead of the red/black Now that I think about it, I'd love to see BAS version of the characters being released like this
