8BrickMario Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) Holy....those are SO COOL! I want the evil mushroom dude and the rafflesia lady! Please let them be the post-Jestro baddies and not just rejected concept art! Also, this confirms that Flama and Whiparella both have the snake tail, not a dress and a tail. Also, with the plant lady- another technically-naked female baddie! Someone at LEGO's being very subversive... Edited December 13, 2015 by 8BrickMario Quote
ChristopheQ Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) Translation of Mushlord speech bubble: Soon you will feel the wrath of the spore! Really want these as real figs. 2017 pretty please !!! the lady legs could be made with the ghost legs, but the too intricate mushroom sword make me afraid they will not me made Edited December 13, 2015 by ChristopheQ Quote
TPLSTER21 Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 The volcano-castle sounds interesting and is likely the flagship/final battle set for the first wave of Nexo Knights. I am more interested to know what the rest of the "meh" sets consist of! Hopefully we get some more details soon. And this is very early to be getting summer wave info! On another matter, given that the UK release date for KN is January 1st, we should see official set descriptions, etc. posted on Lego UK's shopping website this week as they usually put them up 2 weeks before release with the "Coming Soon On..." US teaser site may also get updated this week. Quote
DraikNova Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 Good god are those awesome concepts. It's just...it's pretty much the works of Jonathan Wojcik in LEGO form. I really hope those are made into figures. The Hyphae Sword looks like it could be made using a translucent core to support a twisting white layer, but the lilttle mushroom pommel and the way Mushlord's head just blends into the top makes me doubtful we'll get these.

Mr Greeble Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 In the trailer for Nexo Knights, there's a forest that looks a lot like the one the plant people are in. I'm thinking we'll at least get them in the show and then maybe get them later. Kinda like the Badgers in Chima and the postman in Ninjago. Hope springs eternal! Quote
CM4Sci Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 They look more like Chima figures than Nexo to me. Just doesn't seem right. It's the drawing style, they just look too detailed. I bet they'll look awesome as minifigs. Quote

Mushlord's sword could easily be made of rubber. And the headpiece is totally feasible. You can see where the head ends and the piece begins, like the Monster's head extension or the Grandpa's hair. For the plant lady, I imagine the headpiece would be more involved, but they do show it working like Darth Maul's. Her legs would be the ghost piece in new colors. Both of them have "physical piece" details that probably wouldn't be there on early concept work. I think they're entirely possible, and don't seem like throwaway designs. Here's hoping! Quote
dannallcorn Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 Yes, if you have a iron willpower and a limited budget, better to pass some first wawe sets and go for second wawe with the cool knight hair pieces... Thats what i was thinking. Im dropping lots on getting all the knights so it will be better for me to get the bad guys later on. Quote

Yeah, I noticed the edge of the headpiece right after posting. But your explanation of how the rest of the things could work is appreciated. Making the sword out of rubber would be a really nice way to make it more mushroomy, too. Quote
8BrickMario Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 I'm just hoping. Again, there are some details that suggest a "physical-design" stage of development more than early concept work, like the head stud and the edge of the mushroom cap. While the pommel of the sword might be a bit too much detail, it might just be an artist's interpretation. While I'm already in love with what they've done for the lava baddies, these twisted plant villains seem even more exciting! Quote
BricksrDamian2 Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 I hope these mushroom people are for 2017 if not they might just in the book Quote
Ardelon Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 Well, the bad guys at least keep sounding interesting! Looking forward to a volcano fortress and I also hope these plant guys make it into physical brick form. Quote
Robert8 Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 Is Princess Macy in one of the summer sets? Quote

I bet they'll look awesome as minifigs. Well, they did give Mushlord and name, and every other named NK fig is in a set in this wave or the summer wave, so I fully expect these guys to come out in 2017. Also, we now have four evil factions of fantasy creatures in Castle: Skeletons, Trolls, Lava Monsters, Mushroom People. I just want more summer 2016 info to be leaked, I don't want to get sucked into 2017 yet! Quote
CM4Sci Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 Well, we saw the Bear Tribe the first episode of Chima, but we didn't get them until the last wave, so it's possible. Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 Is Princess Macy in one of the summer sets? Yes, apparently she's in a cheaper set. Quote
BrickJagger Posted December 13, 2015 Author Posted December 13, 2015 Yes, apparently she's in a cheaper set. I thought the Knight version of Macy was in the smaller set? Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 I thought the Knight version of Macy was in the smaller set? You are correct, I read his post as just Macy. Although we can expect princess Macy in a target cube exclusive. Quote
Robert8 Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 Also, we now have four evil factions of fantasy creatures in Castle: Skeletons, Trolls, Lava Monsters, Mushroom People. And goblins! Quote
8BrickMario Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) Although we can expect princess Macy in a target cube exclusive. Can we? Also, the evil faction that hopefully debuts in 2017 is not just mushroom people, but plant people in general, and I can't wait to see who else is included. Also, I'd love to put Mushlord's head on the ground in an evil forest MOC. Edited December 13, 2015 by 8BrickMario Quote
ChristopheQ Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) not just mushroom people, but plant people in general, and I can't wait to see who else is included. if it happens, probably some carnivorous plant with this head piece ? and a bramble/rose one full of spikes, and a big fig haunted tree man ala Snow White would be cool. A seaweed/swamp guy ? Some organic vehicle ala Monster Minds in Jayce and the wheeled warriors perhaps. But after that, few ideas... Edited December 13, 2015 by ChristopheQ Quote
8BrickMario Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 Probably a couple of filler mushrooms, and the flytrap. A tree character (either built or bigfig) would be great. I'm sure they'll find enough plant/fungus designs to use for a wave or two. Quote
BrickJagger Posted December 13, 2015 Author Posted December 13, 2015 So, It's time for another "Monster List" I just love doing these, I can't help myself. Wave 1 Jestro, The Book Of Monsters Lava Monsters: Moltor, Lavaria, Ash Attacker, Crust Smasher, Flame Thrower, Beast Master Scurriers: Scurrier 1, Scurrier 2 Lava Golems: Infernox, Sparkz Globlins: Globlin 1 Wave 2 Lava Monsters: Whiparella, Flama, Magmar, Guy who holds The Book Of Monsters, Bear Trap guy Scurriers: Scurrier 3 Lava Golems: Lava Golem with Skull-Head, Lava Golem with Club-Fists Globlins: Globlin 2 Wave 3? Mushlord Plant Monsters: Plant Monster with weed on head Judging by the current pattern, we have six regular lava monsters, two Scurrier variants, two lava golems, and a Globlin variant per wave. That means that there's a lava monster and a Scurrier that we haven't seen. Quote
