x105Black Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) Also a leg mold for the Black Knight, since his legs look to be made of water. The guy above Jestro looks like a cool bigfig to me. Edited February 11, 2016 by x105Black Quote
BrickJagger Posted February 11, 2016 Author Posted February 11, 2016 Looks like I correctly predicted that there would be water villains. The plant mini figures are very interesting, although some of them seem to have way too much detail to be feasible, such as the werewolf-tree and the tree-man. Looking forward to seeing more of the water monsters, but don't forget that we've also seen the water monster chef in addition to the new ones. You pretty much have to believe that the plants and water monsters are both coming next year because Lego definitely wouldn't reveal their bad guys for the third year of the theme, which could be the last, two years in advance. Can we get English descriptions? Quote
Dr.Cogg Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 The Black Knights legs are probably this piece Quote
Robert8 Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 It's good to see they will keep Jestro as the villain The new monsters look amazing! Quote
x105Black Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 The Black Knights legs are probably this piece Might be, but they look more like water to me than octopus tentacles. I hope they would do a new piece. Quote
PenPlays Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 When 2017 comes around and none of these monsters show up... I really, really would not get my hopes up for any of these guys, but would love to see them happen nonetheless. On the subject of Monstrox. Clearly he's a lava monster. Perhaps he's the sarlacc-like thing in the Volcano Lair. Quote
BrickFit26 Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Those first 5 plant monsters are just I hope that forest theme happens. Quote
DraikNova Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 You know, I just realized that we already have the claw-like part for that water monster guy's hand in the Fly CMF. LEGO often introduces new molds there before they become part of a theme. Quote

Perhaps he's the sarlacc-like thing in the Volcano Lair. What do you predict we will get in 2017? These two factions make sense because there's a dark forest and a evil-looking ocean on the NK continent. We've already gotten Lava, and if you take away the Dark Forest and the Ocean, that leaves Desert Snow Plains Mysterious white tower thingy in the lower left corner of the map And that's all. Clearly the forest is the most profitable location out of these, so it's logical to make sets based on it. MONSTER UPDATE We now have: Jestro Book of Monsters 10 Lava Monsters 4 Scurriers 3 Lava Golems 3 Globlins Moltrox (Show-Only?) Mushlord 5 Plant Monsters 2 Water Monsters Water Golem Behemoth of Brine (Will probably be show-only) Giving us 32 individual known monsters, with more on the way. Pretty impressive.

DraikNova Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) I suspect that whatever that white tower is (pics please?) will be part of the 2018 endgame, since it seems like it could be involved with the mysteries surrounding the Book of Monsters' origins and NK is probably planned to last three years (can't remember if it's been stated), making it a good way to end the first arc. Also, is that a trick of the light or did the makers of the book decide to give the fish monster bishie sparkles? Edited February 11, 2016 by DraikNova Quote

LEGO often introduces new molds there before they become part of a theme. It actually has been introduced in the pirates of the caribean series. Quote
x105Black Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Every time we see that claw, there is only one. Would be nice to see a character with 2 claw hands. Quote

I fully expect the next two years of NK to be plant and water themes. These minifigs are going to be sweet. I will keep using a lot of conditional. I read here Chima magazine had guys art never produced. And if they go for it they should/could be heavely changed, remember Chima concept art ? http://http://www.lego.com/fr-fr/Chima/explore/story-10/chapter1 http://http://www.lego.com/fr-fr/Chima/explore/story-10/chapter2 Clearly the forest is the most profitable location out of these, so it's logical to make sets based on it. Forest make the more sense indeed. But They could go for Faeries, or troll etc... Same for the sea vilains, make a lot of sense, but they could do squeletons pirates, etc... I imagine TLG has concept art for dozen of faction. I am not sure they will choose to show us the 2 they will pick up rather than recycle rejected vilains... Quote
Mr Greeble Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 What is the white tower? Monstrox is the greatest evil-magic user ever, and his castle is the one Jestro now has in the summer wave. Quote
Aaron Gomez Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Those forest villains are incredible. I really want some of those proposed new pieces now. Quote
sweetsha Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Here are some other pics - with more water vilains this time Also some pics of lava monster we already know, but I love these artworks ^^ Quote
8BrickMario Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Oh, I want the wicked seaweed mermaid! BADLY. Quote

I don't think that the characters shown in the book are an indication of future waves. Given TLG's overall secretive behavior regarding future sets and their desire to do everything possible to prevent leaks, it is highly doubtful that they would show future characters in development in this way. The more likely scenario, is that the characters shown are unused concepts or designs that Lego is recycling into the book so that they get some usage out of them. Quote
Kalhiki Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Seaweed mermaid is awesome! I can't imagine these figs not being produced in the future. Just seems like too much work went into them to not end up being figures. Also, that last pic of Sparkks and Burnzie! Ha! Quote
Borex Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Why wouldn't they show us those figs? Nexo knights is a new theme and you want customers to get into this theme. I think it's good strategy to win souls. Quote
Boogly22238 Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 So I finished the book after reading it here and there. It would be quite a shame not to get at least some of these monsters in physical form. Grapevine ladies, seaweed mermaids, dark sea knights, oh my.. Quote
benderisgreat Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Why is everyone calling one of sea monster Black Knight when Robin is a Black Knight in the show? Hope we'll get him in Black Knight form as a minifigure. Quote
x105Black Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Oh, I want the wicked seaweed mermaid! BADLY. Same here, she looks awesome. I agree.

I think it's possible we'll see at least some of them. Considering that they included many current monsters, I'd say that there's a good likelihood that they plan to release as many of these as they can. Why is everyone calling one of sea monster Black Knight when Robin is a Black Knight in the show? Hope we'll get him in Black Knight form as a minifigure. I was calling him that because at first there was no indication to me that he was an aquatic villain, and his armor is black. Also, I haven't watched the show, and only thought of Robin as the little Chicken Knight kid. Quote
Mr Greeble Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) This is robin in his black knight armor: https://plus.google....47-9c75027353b9 (not my image) EDIT: It seems that all the monsters coexist, according to some pictures. Edited February 11, 2016 by Mr Greeble Quote

I can't see the image, it's on Google Plus, and I don't use it. Yeah, it seems to me that all of these monsters are contained in the Book of Monsters, and that they will all eventually be released by Jestro. Quote
