Re: Collectible Minifigure brainstorming session
Is it bad that I'd like to see an upcoming set that's all re-issues of popular minifigs (Spartan, etc.) and the commonality is all the same throughout the set?

Keyword here is third party.

This is a great idea!
Also would like there to be an old school deep sea diver, the kind with the hose running down to give them air. A waiter with a tray, kid with a balloon, and a tightrope walker (maybe witha balance beam and flashy outfit, even a scared look on his/her face) are the newest ones I have thought of.

A VFW outfit, or Dress Uniform would be a way of doing it without quite crossing the line.natelite wrote:the line is blurring. case in point - the royal guard.NIGELTTF wrote: unless it is "modern" military

Re: Collectible Minifigure brainstorming session
Actually a day of the dead figure...i.e. not a actual skeleton but conveying the sense of a mask...would be cool.
It is also kind of neat to look back at this thread and see how many we've predicted.

I think an angel would be a nice addition to the female cast. Too religious? Actually, a devil would be cool too. Yeah, not likely.
Re: Collectible Minifigure brainstorming session
I wish they could get approval to do licensed CMF series, super heroes, lord of the rings, starwars. (I have heard they can't do this because they are only able to sell building sets and single minifigs would be considered actionfigures.) Megabloks did marvel collectible minifigs so it may be in the realm of possibility.
Bride of frankenstein
medusa
movie fanboy, red and blue 3d glasses on, pocorn and soda (rumor has it the next modular is a theater so the popcorn and soda cups mold wouldnt be out of the question) and hat and shirt for a fictional lego movie logo
frontiersman with davy crocket hat
secret service guy
Kung fu master young or old (like in the classic horribly dubbed kungfu movies)
shaolin monk
kung fu master (bruce lee-esque, maybe that classic yellow and black outfit or black pants and tank with nunchuk, bruce lee hair)
I love some of the other ideas in here as well
bigfoot or abominable snowman with long woody legs
angel
devil
centaur
all great ideas (many more I didnt mention)

Re: Collectible Minifigure brainstorming session
Yikes... that would be the first CMF series I would either pass completely, or at least not buy a full set of.
I have mixed feelings about new releases: I can't wait to see and get the new sets... but I can't figure out where I'm gonna put them or store them.

How about a bowler? Bowling bag in one hand, trophy in the other, bowling shirt, and the same hair as the mechanic...maybe with grey temples?

Re: Collectible Minifigure brainstorming session
I like the shout outs to the older Space series and the newer Space figures (like the Alien Marines), as well as the Castle type figures so that influences what I want to see.
Space Police Riot/Heavy Trooper- This would use the heavy armor of the Space Marine and a riot shield type piece and use the coloration of either Space Police 1 or 2.
Ice Planet Guy- Could be a cyborg or robot, but the main idea is to give him a chainsaw arm and Ice Planet coloration.
General Ideas for older Space factions (M Tron, Blacktron, etc): Leaders, Women, Alien Members, Scientists, Robots.
Vampire Knight- Armored Vampire with fang emblem (or possibly the Fright Knight Bat symbol) shield and printed Euro armor (possibly with a dark red base color), maybe a translucent red sword.
Snake Warrior- Armored warrior with snake symbols or scales on the armor, a helmet to make the face appear to be emerging out of a snake's mouth, the head might have a look that indicates scales and serpentine eyes, snake emblem on the shield, and a crescent (serpentine) bladed sword. May or may not have snake lower half.
Snake Cultist- Snake lower half, scaled mail armor on the torso print with a snake symbol medallion, dark green hood, snake-like face, and a serpent theme staff (capped with a cobra head or maybe serpentine in overall appearance)
Goblin- Short legs like the dwarves, green skin, overall armor (torso and leg prints, helmet) appearance looks kind of thrown together from random scraps, cruel looking curved sword.
Goblin Shaman- Similar to the Goblin except it has a head dress and a staff and no armor (an exposed torso print with a teeth/icon filled necklace).
Black Falcon Knight- An armored knight with the Black Falcon crest printed on the Euro armor and the Oval shield.
Black Falcon King- Printed torso that features the Black Falcon crest on a regal print that is primarily black , white, and blue, crown, and cape.
Thief/Rogue- Black hood and cape, torso print that looks like dark leather armor, dagger, coin bag
General Castle type ideas- Armored figures for the older factions that don't have them, alternate wizard/sorcorer/witch type figures, monarchs (Kings and Queens) for the older factions, Court Officials (Nobles, Jesters, Trumpeteers, Heralds) for generic and official factions, alternate barmaids, alternate peasants.
Immortal-esque soldier (from 300) to oppose the Spartans- This one is probably an issue due to copyright, but it would be great to see them in LEGO form. Alternatively, accurate Persian soldiers.
Roman Senator/Greek Philosopher- White robed old man with an open or rolled up scroll.
Space Police Riot/Heavy Trooper- This would use the heavy armor of the Space Marine and a riot shield type piece and use the coloration of either Space Police 1 or 2.
