What minifigs are we missing - post your detailed suggestions here

[Zzz]

After getting my greedy, nipponised hands on the Sumo and Samurai from S3, I just want one minifig to live in peace for the rest of my life:

GEISHA

Sex: female

headgear: black geisha hair

face: white with japanese make-up

colour: white, bue, green or red kimono style (brick instead of legs)

access: fan (!)

[Mrlegoninja]

I just got this one when thinking.

Gender: Male

Occupation/Print on torso: Matador (Bullfighter)/Chaquetilla (With blue or grey cape)

Headgear: Monetera

Type of expression: Frightened (kind of like ringmaster)

Color on torso/legs: Blue and red with some details

Accesory: Red blanket

What do you think?

[The Yellow Brick]

Color on Legs/Torso: Gym shorts patten and trainers

Accessory: Whistle and 2x2 tile with clip board patten

[Mr. Elijah Timms]

You guys should read back on some of these pages... Klaus notwithstanding, this thread has resorted to pretty much a mass regurgitation of past ideas from earlier pages. There's some great ones back there-- and if it's coincidental or not, some have made their way into series 3!!

[dyntar]

Just a couple of ideas.

Gender: Male

Occupation/print on torso: Genie - sand green bare chest with dark red waist coat.

Type of headgear: a pony tail that fits into the top of the head.

Type of facial expression: sand green with goatee.

Color on torso/legs: dark red

Accessory: Gold genie lamp

Gender: Female

Occupation/print on torso: Harem girl [like on the TV show I dream of genie]

Type of headgear: light yellow version of Padme long hair.

Type of facial expression: pouty and moody double sided

Color on torso/legs: pink or red.

Accessory: bunch of grapes or bottle.

The head of the magician is pretty close, yes? Combined with the caveman body/legs and a customized barbell/dumbbells...

It's pretty much exactly the mod that I'm making, except I'm keeping the modern weights from S2...for now...maybe...

BTW...in case anyone is wondering: cutting a "light sword blade" EXACTLY in half, gives the PERFECT size for two dumbbells for a 'strongman' figure. I used grey to simulate a metal bar. (I can't believe I actually altered a piece of LEGO! I guess I'm no longer a 'purist'. *sigh*)

Brilliant suggestions! Fwiw, i'm throwing my vote behind beekeeper, gardener, zulu warrior, mongol archer, highland piper, amazon warrior, 18th century composer (yes!), wushu martial artist, nun (double yes!! i want a heap of those), buddhist monk, faun/satyr and crazy cat lady.

I really really would like to see a more complete line up of martial arts represented... i know it's a crazy dream, but there are 4 there already, right? (Karate, wrestling, ninjutsu and sumo in s3) Wushu/kung fu would be awesome, especially in a silks/sash torso and leg pattern! A fencer would rock too, also a western boxer, maybe muay thai boxer and a capoeirista as well... won't someone think of the "ultimate tournament" MOC's that could be made? Btw, while i'm at it, can we please also make some of the martial artists women??

Actually, more female minifigs all round would be super nice. I'd love to see a female only collectable set... it would go a long way to redressing the horrendous gender imbalance in my minifig collection.

well if the thinkers at lego have not thought about wheelchairs and ramps and cripple figs, then why am I thinking about it... I had an uncle that lost his leg due to a motorcycle wreck caused by a un chained dog running out in front of him on a road in Mass..... He dumped his bike rather then hitting a dog then slid into a road sign and got gutted bad.... long story short he had a blood clot get jammed in his leg and it went bad fast.... took him almost a year to recover and to every ones surprise he went out and bought a custom road king from Harley with a side car and reverse tranny.... He never stopped riding even with one leg... He later died having a phantom pain on the highway and the doctors said he died fast (was good to know because a long death sucks)

when I made my city I was inspired to make a model of him down to the skull cap helmet he always road with....

Yes he has one leg, had some broken pants and was missing the right leg so I used them to complete the model..

Legos has the parts already to produce wheelchairs, so why not?

[lifeinplastic]

Gender: Female

Occupation/print on torso: University Graduate (gown).

Type of headgear: Mortar Board.

Type of facial expression: It would be cool to have more variation in female faces so this would hopefully have some glasses (but no goofy mouth and please don't show teeth - i hate those figures!).

Color on torso/legs: black

Accessory: black cape as graduation gown scroll or a book/bag (not important)

Also, seeing as the lifeguard in series 2 was clearly Pamela Anderson, it would be cool to see other famous lookalikes such as Cleopatra, Lincoln, Charlie Chaplin, so for my other choice I'll say Elvis Presley!

Gender: Male

Occupation/print on torso: Elvis impersonator

Type of headgear: Black hair (with quiff).

Type of facial expression: Elvis (maybe wearing sunglasses but again no goofy mouth and please don't show teeth - i hate those figures!).

Color on torso/legs: White Elvis Jumpsuit

Accessory: Microphone and white cape

I REALLY LOVE THE MINIFIGURE SERIES AND HOPE THEY CONTINUE FOR A LONG TIME. I WOULDN'T MIND EACH SERIES OVERLAPPING THOUGH TO ALLOW MORE TIME TO COLLECT THEM ALL! It would be fantastic to see more musical instruments as accessories to form bands or orchestras (tubas, guitars, violins, saxaphones) and the figures representing different cultures are also great. I'm sure the sports will continue and hopefully the theme will continue to repeat previous figures but made slightly different (e.g. another different tennis player, clown, baseball team....)

Also, in response to the above post. I like the idea above about the wheelchair (please note the word cripple may appear slightly offensive). Hopefully this could be a moulded piece for a manual wheelchair, a bit like the red cargo trolley and would fit in well with a future hospital/medical theme, which would hopefully not be so emergency-orientated.

[Peanuts]

As mentioned in the discussion thread (I didn't see this thread before ):

Gender: Male

Occupation: Prussian soldier/Imperial Germany's soldier

Headgear: Spiked helmet/"Pickelhaube" with gold eagle print

Facial Expression: Strict, maybe with big square eyeglasses, with belt for helmet

Color: Blue Torso, black legs, white pants printed (or maybe just white legs without boots)

Accessory: Cutlass, needle gun (or normal gun, if they don't want to make a new mold)

I would love a Prussian soldier, and TLC has done other historic soldiers before, like vikings, knights, Spartans, red coats, blue coats, conquistadores, U.S. soldiers of the 19th century, the Nationalsocialists' Northern Africa Corps, feudal Japan's samurai and shogun and some more, I guess. I don't think there would be any ethical barriers to make a nice spiked helmet .

Also a great idea:

Gender: Male

Occupation: Boxer (after a wrestler, a karate master and a sumo )

Facial Expression: Like someone who has just been punched hard and been punching even harder...

Color: Very muscular body, red pants and white shoes.

Accessory: Boxing gloves instead of hands

[Ogre]

BTW...in case anyone is wondering: cutting a "light sword blade" EXACTLY in half, gives the PERFECT size for two dumbbells for a 'strongman' figure. I used grey to simulate a metal bar. (I can't believe I actually altered a piece of LEGO! I guess I'm no longer a 'purist'. *sigh*)

I want a strongman/bodybuilder minifig too! *signs*

PS: What piece did you use for the weights?

[dragunov]

I think that there should be something to go into a completely differing sub theme from what we have seen do far, so here is my idea.

Apoca survivor:

Gender: Male.

Headgear: Firefighter headpiece (minus air tanks.)

Face: Rex (power miners) or the engineer face from PQ.

Torso: surfer with bandolier added.

Legs: Blue with belt with knife sheaf and pistol sheaf

Accessories: Revolver and baseball bat.

[Ogre]

PS: What piece did you use for the weights?

Aside from the grey 'light sword blade' from PAB, all other parts are from the collectible minifigures.

Caveman: torso and legs

Magician: head

Weightlifter: hair and weights

[vexorian]

Gender: Male

Occupation/print on torso: Heel wrestler (bad guy rival for the original wrestler) I would go with black shirt thingies or maybe bare-chested.

Type of headgear: Just give him messy hair.

Type of facial expression: Angry/Imposing

Color on torso/legs: black or yellow or both.

Accessory: A champion's belt. I would suggest a metal chair but I guess that goes against TLG's do no evil standards... Would be cool if he used the longer legs from toy story's Woody.

Ghost

Gender:Male

Occupation/print on torso: Glow in the dark white - similar to ghosts from Kingdoms sets

Type of headgear: None

Type of facial expression: Spooky

Color on torso/legs: Glow in the dark white

Accessory: None?

As an accessory the ghost could have a chain (http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=30104) and maybe a ball attached to the end of it? But I wouldn't protest either if they would opt to make a female ghost instead, many "grey ladys" are known from folk legends (and Harry Potter) around the world.

I would like to see some more mythical creatures. The following have been probably mentioned somewhere in this topic, but maybe a little repeating doesn't hurt?

Gender:Male

Occupation: Minotauros

Type of headgear: brown or dark bley bull's head similar to CMF3 Gorilla guy, maybe even with detachable cow horns?

Type of facial expression: If there would have to be a normal head underneath, it could really be anything...

Color on torso/legs: brown or dark bley muscular bare upper torso, printed loin cloth on the legs

Accessory: an axe or a polearm

Gender:Male

Occupation: Centaur. I know there's already a Brickforge version in existence, but it wouldn't hurt to have an official centaur too. This would probably be too big or expensive for CMF series? Maybe if there's going to be still more Harry Potter sets...

Type of headgear: a Spartan helmet or long hair (in this they could choose the cheaper option)

Type of facial expression: grim or angry

Color on torso/legs: bare or barely clad upper torso and of course a new mold of horse body without the head part but studs to attach the human torso

Accessory: If we had this figure, I would be perfectly happy even without any accessories, but of course a spear or sword or bow would make it even more readily playable

[Aanchir]

Ghost

Gender:Male

Occupation/print on torso: Glow in the dark white - similar to ghosts from Kingdoms sets

Type of headgear: None

Type of facial expression: Spooky

Color on torso/legs: Glow in the dark white

Accessory: None?

Ghosts from Kingdoms sets? Please explain-- I don't think there are any ghosts in Kingdoms sets. Minifig ghost sheets exist in two colors: 50 Phosphorescent White (mostly opaque; last used in 2005) and 294 Phosphorescent Green (transparent; the color that replaced 50 Phosphorescent White).

I'm not sure what material either is made from, but being transparent the current glow-in-the-dark color, 294 Phosphorescent Green, probably could not be used for most minifig parts. This is because transparent parts are made from polycarbonate rather than ABS. As discussed here, polycarbonate has strong friction against other polycarbonate pieces. Since minifigure design depends on several hinged elements (arms, hands, legs, and even arguably the head), the added friction could be a serious problem.

This would seem to be part of the reason no minifigure parts (besides minifigure heads) exist in transparent colors.
