Anyone have any idea could those Friends sets' figures' hairs be removable? The male character's hair in the big 'dream house' set looks suspiciously much like the new usual male hair. In that case there'd be a massive addition of new hairstyles, as the figures seem exactly minifig size.

This stuff is seriously golden :,D Please, keep it coming, Mike. P.S. I love the dressing pic, they're all so alive in it :)

Aaagh! It *is* cute! Though I'm more impressed of the surprisingly good over all design the graphic has (for these things) ;D These are hilarious. Keep 'em coming XD

I like it :) Huge props if you include Steph's case ;D

Or then they just throw bits and pieces into various sets to please the fans, who won't be having their own favourite on going theme for a while ,:D (Though hopefully they'll have to make Pirates eventually, as the Duplo kids grow up to demand their fave sets to be made into a System theme *mwah hah*) Anyway! I really like the shipwreck set design (and adore the person, who adjusted the images's CG to more earthly color tones :D).

Thank you! I was just yesterday going through the old issues and wondering, if there was new coming out soon. As everyone's said; good work, keep it up :)

From the Bricklink forums: "I recently purchased a legends Black Seas Barracuda and was suprised to open it and find a blue parot inside painted with the parot markings. It is not listed in BL and I am curious if anyone else has found this suprise as well?" I though, if anywhere, this would be a good place to ask, if anyone else has come across anything like this. Given that the blue parrot has only appeared in Belville sets without markings, seems an odd, but interesting find :D Maybe someone at the TLC played a practical joke and threw one blue in a bin of red ones to see if it'll get spotted ;D

But I thought that's why Mr. Phes has got the title he has! One has to be true to the title, right? ;)

Yup, he's not strictly western, but works perfectly well for western/victorian steampunk.

If you mean the 'mud guards' they're separate bricks with that arch at the side, and the car bottoms are (as far as I've seen used) regular plates. So, they're pretty usable :)

Whoo! Looks good! Also, reminds me a bit of the new Dublo Pirate ship with GITD sails. I imagine TLC would have to work pretty hard to get this set wrong... we'll see.

Ooh, and on LJ no less. Thank you for the info :)

Based on a novel by Frank "whores, whores" Miller? Sooo, is it really any good or just another one of those 'because he's the goddamn Frank Miller' things? The Prestige though, now there's something I'm anticipating.

Interesting indeed. The second image could well be altered digitally. See the little black 'strike' under the collar at the edge of the vest, where the crossbelt 'should' be? Also there could be a tii-iny bit of white overlap on the belt there at the opposite side. Also, the cross belt is in the picture of the Pirate Ambush box (where BL shows, this fig should come from). Funny :/ If it is altered (by TLC themselves or especially if by someone else) was there some point in it? P.S. This fig's torso also has the white shirt strings, which would make all the three similar looking figs have slightly different torsos :/
