Collectible Minifigure brainstorming session

[legitimatealex]

Aww but I thought all of LEGO was ridiculous! All their video games certainly are and that's why they're so awesome and fun to play!

Alright, a new suggestion that hit me today was TV presenter or Infomercial host. Billy Maes!!!

[TClone]

Barbarian
Race Car Driver
Secret Agent
Mummy
Tarzan-like guy

[superlegos]

King could come with hair piece with attachable crown and a staff
Queen could come with hair piece with attachable crown
Tramp/Hobo could come with a beard and carrying a bindle
Parachuter could come with some kind of goggles face with helmet and parachute backpack

priest = religious figure, won't be made.
sniper = war theme, won't be made
wheelchair guy = politically incorrect, won't be made.

i like barbarian, let's hope they make a new sword mold! i want my conan! :D

[legitimatealex]

The metal detector would probably be skipped over as well, seeing as the metal detector is ages old by now. The King and Queen have been done to oblivion in the castle lines.

New thought today: Cyberpunk. Possibly cyborg looking, half machine/half human etc. etc.

priest = religious figure, won't be made.
sniper = war theme, won't be made
wheelchair guy = politically incorrect, won't be made.

I totally back you on the first two, but I don't see how making a guy in a wheelchair would be politically incorrect. Exactly the opposite, really, since it would be more politically correct to include a diverse assortment of people.

Therefore I tender my vote for a Stephen Hawking minifigure ;)

[TClone]

I thin the wheelchair would be cool. Also maybe a jetpack pilot?

[legitimatealex]

Jetpack=Awesome but they already exist in a few sets (Clone Wars).

Another good one hit me last night. Gorilla. New hair, New Torso & legs. Accessories = Banana and a girl doll (King Kong Reference).

Does anyone know of a decent channel to send ideas for new minifigs? I'm afraid most unsolicited ideas would just end up in the electronic circular file. With the pop star I'd love to see a guitarist, bass player, drummer to go with Lego Rock Band - other instruments would be awesome too!

Actually It would have been a nice theme on its own, but given the sales of Lego Rock band seem to be kind of flat...

But there are certainly neat things still out there for series four:

My Ideas;
(1)Baron/Baroness: with the big powdered wigs, excellent tie in with Pirates
(2)Carnival Barker: with straw boater and cane
(3)Werewolf
(4)Outlander: Leather jacket, Mohawk, shield made out of a stop sign, crossbow
(5)Award Actress: Gown, envelope and Trophy
(6)Rocker: Guitar
(7)Butler: Serving tray and bowler hat
(8)Robber: The hat from the mine turned forwards, domino mask, striped shirt, bag marked "swag"
(9)Alpine Guy: Pork Pie hat, Lederhosen, pick
(10)Statue: Either all White, all bley, or all Sand Green
(11)Knight in shining Armor: Typical Knight, but all chrome legs, arms, armor piece, and helmet
(12)BeefEater: Tall fuzzy hat and rifle
(13)Santa Claus: With a real Santa hat finally
(14)Medusa: Funky Hair piece
(15)Flapper
(16)Fairie: Wings and wand

[legomandan]

You really got me thinking - I love your bowler hat and chrome knight ideas!

Here are a few more I came up with -
- Picnic guy with 5 o'clock shadow and beer belly with a can of soda (Or any other new food!)
- Waitress with a new hair style (loving all the new hair pieces) and a plate of food
- Golfer with lots of plaid and a golf club
- Tennis player with racket
- Sunbather in a bikini with a big pool floatie.
- Baseball player with glove and/or bat
- Vet with minifig sized puppy!
- Something Elf-like!!! to go with the dwarves and orcs!
- Something Hobbit-like!!! with bare feet!
- Teacher with small chalkboard
- Salesman with vaccum or a book decorated like a laptop
- Wild West preacher w/ a Bible.
- and!!! a gamer with video game system.

PS - They did a werewolf with the mad scientist studio sets a while back - I'd love it if they re-release the werewolf and Frankenstein.

There's also Fenrir from the new Harry Potter 'The Burrow' set, as well as Professor Lupin from previous runs, so I'd say it's a distinct possibility.

Actually that is suppoed to be in series #3
- Something Elf Like
Also supposed to be in series #3

Well Yes, I bought a bunch of "Werefolf Ambush" sets on clearance. It would be nice if other people got a chance though.

The Golfer could also use the Mime hat molded in tan

[legitimatealex]

Did anyone else notice that if you just turned the mime hat forward it essentially became just a cap?

Many of the pieces are used in other areas like the diver. But I never realize the mime hat until you mention it.

[natelite]

i dont like the mime's beret. it's not symmetrical and frankly, it is sitting too high up on the head. i like the promotional pics where it sits just slightly above the mime's eyebrows. the real thing however is sitting above his scalp, making him look like an older mime with receding hairline. most of the new headpieces are like that. the atlantis scuba gear, the space police helmet. can TLC please just check the QC???

Yeah, that why I said about the robber and golfer ideas could easily usethe same mold.

[legomandan]

Has anyone heard anything about future Roman sets - maybe with the Egyptians??? It's hard to believe they would do 2 unique pieces without any future plans for reuse coming up fairly soon.

[tired]

I'm going to to be ignorant and not read all the posts prior but

Here are my suggestions

1. Baker (with crossiant and bagette)
2. Medieval peasant (with the all mighty pitchfork)
3. Mechanic (with drill and wrench)
4. Jazz musican (with saxophone, trombone or trumpet)
5. Opera Lady (with Viking attire holding mike?)
6. Zoo keeper (with printed owl?, cat or parrot)
7. Naval Officer (with the shoulder piece, cap, and telescope)
