appiah4 Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) The Alice I grew up with actually had a red dress and white pinafore, it was a very weird adaptation to the Disney Alice when I saw it for the first time.. To me, thisis and always will be Alice (even though I know the first official coloring was actually yellow). But I digress.. Too late, forevermore she will be known as "Fat Alice". What have you done.. Now I just have to buy it because it sounds like Fat Agnus :D Edited March 15, 2016 by appiah4 Quote

Oh my god, I was about to post something along the same lines. That was.....different. If I hadn't stopped the video early, the theme song may have induced suicide. Yowza. Quote
gedren_y Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) The whole problem with Alice is that TLG used child proportions for her face, but a hair that is really designed for adult face proportions. I have a head that should do well as a replacement. Alice, in the Disney cartoon, has the facial proportions of an adult even though she is supposed to be a child. I think it has something to do with the art style of the studio at that time, Edited March 15, 2016 by gedren_y Quote
BrickFit26 Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Had no idea about Alice's original color dress Quote

I have a head that should do well as a replacement. Alice, in the Disney cartoon, has the facial proportions of an adult even though she is supposed to be a child. I think it has something to do with the art style of the studio at that time, It's not really because of art style. For traditionally animated features Disney often films a live action version of the movie to use as reference for the animators, in some instance even tracing the live action footage. Alice herself was modeled after her voice actress, Kathryn Beaumont. By the time they got around to filming the live action footage the actress had begun to mature, so the animated version of her looks a bit more mature than a child should. The animators ultimately drew her with stubbier legs to achieve a more child like appearance (hence her legendary gigantic calves), but that only worked so well. Alice is one of the more oddly proportioned Disney characters, so it's only fitting her minifigure looks strange too. I'm not bothered by it personally. Edited March 16, 2016 by strangely Quote
CM4Sci Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Taking a look at some stuff, when're we gonna see WhiteFang's review? I looked at the last few May series reviews, they were either started in Jan-Feb and then publicly shown in middle-late March. Soon, perhaps? Quote
Exetrius Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Taking a look at some stuff, when're we gonna see WhiteFang's review? I looked at the last few May series reviews, they were either started in Jan-Feb and then publicly shown in middle-late March. Soon, perhaps? I sure hope so! I am thrilled to see figures like Syndrome, Ursala and Captain Hook up close and with all accessoires disclosed. Note to TLG: I'd like that Syndrome hairpiece in all colours of the rainbow! Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Note to TLG: I'd like that Syndrome hairpiece in all colours of the rainbow! Ah ;) If there's anything I've learned from whitefang, it's that previous year's date reviews mean nothing for the upcoming series. Quote

CM4Sci Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 I was gonna say, is this a Dragon Ball Z thing, or or what? Quote
Exetrius Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 I was gonna say, is this a Dragon Ball Z thing, or or what? Correct! Jokes aside, I think the hairpiece looks superb, iconic even. I'd love to see a black one, which would be more or less usable for other figures (other than DB Z ones) as well. Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 (edited) If there are any one who doubts that there is a series with Mickey and Co., then a shelf tag in Kmart saying 71012 Disney Mini Figures Assorted $ 5 should cancel any doubts. I asked a girl in that department about the bare shelf, she went out the back - she came back then after five minutes to say that they had none. In fact no Kmarts in Oz had any, she turned the paper tag around so nobody could read it. ;) Edited March 20, 2016 by Captain Nemo Quote
Actor Builder Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Five bucks now? Gee whiz. I hope it doesn't carry over to the next series... Quote
Umbra-Manis Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) When I scanned a stray monsters minifigure at target on Thursday it showed up as a May release Lego minifigures, but all they had was S15 (obviously) Five bucks now? Gee whiz. I hope it doesn't carry over to the next series... I believe that's the standard Aussie price. Edited March 21, 2016 by Umbra-Manis Quote
BrickFit26 Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 I almost forgot about WhiteFang's reviews. I hope it soon Quote
Actor Builder Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Oh. Okay. I would say something like "That's a relief", but it's really not. $2.50 is about as much as I'll happily pay for singular figures. I nearly completed my first series since Series 2 when the 2 for 5 deal came around. Quote
appiah4 Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 $4.00 is crazy. That would really limit my purchases. Quote
Darth Wayne Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Wait, what? Why would these be ANY more expensive than all other series before? Licensed or not? Quote
MAB Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Wait, what? Why would these be ANY more expensive than all other series before? Licensed or not? Becuase of these six letters: D I S N E Y. Quote
