Sven F Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) My first thought after seeing that net piece was this looks like fabuland. Seems a bit bulky and cartoonish. I see what you mean about the baby on the back, probably right, i didn't really make the connection between tribal and nat.american, i imagined her more like jungle tribe. I'd be happier with a more universal baby mould. Edited November 17, 2015 by Sven F Quote
Borex Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 when i saw the net piece i thought it was duplo. Quote
x105Black Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Yep, it's a new piece. Animal control guy will have it. Interesting. It originated in Fabuland as a wind gauge, but this appears to be a new color. I know 3 new moulds in 1 minifigure is uncommon, but I do think Clumsy Guy has bended arms I'm curious to know why you think that. i didn't really make the connection between tribal and nat.american, i imagined her more like jungle tribe. I'd be happier with a more universal baby mould. Previous CMF Native American minifigures have been called Tribal Chief and Tribal Hunter. My instinct when I read that is the same as yours, but experience says otherwise. Quote
8BrickMario Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I really doubt that the Clumsy Guy will have bent arms. The mold itself seems far from useful, and it would just feel strange to suddenly alter the classic arm for the crutch piece. It's likely that the image is just artistic license. Jestro's hat wasn't pointed upward... Quote
BrickFit26 Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I also think that clumsy guy will not be having bent arms. I believe that the picture we saw is just the artists rendering to bring some life into the minifigures. Quote
Bricky Dee Williams Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Ooh, the baby piece is pretty neat! And long overdue. But the skunk also looks cool. Quote
Vorkosigan Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Love the skunk. But I wish they'd put the goat with a CMF! Quote
TheLazyChicken Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 That skunk is defenitly my favorite part so far, something about it... Just makes me want to have it in my hands... Quote
x105Black Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Love the skunk. But I wish they'd put the goat with a CMF! As do I! We need better access to the goat. Quote

telaruhn Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) The only reason I feel the arms for the Clumsy Guy are just artistic manipulation is because of the short sleeves. It just doesn't make sense for them to make a new arm mold for the Clumsy Guy using the dual-color injection technique. If we were to get a new arm mold, I would expect them to use one color first before we start seeing more complex variations. Anyway, I count 10 new molds so far, and not all of them are headgear, which to me is speaking well for this series. Though we haven't seen anything for the Jewel Thief, Dancer, Scary/Evil Knight, Kendo Fighter, Astronaut, and Laser Robot, I sincerely hope that these characters aren't all made up of old molds. There is some thematic space for each of them that could utilize a new part. New parts are always exciting, too, so getting a figure with one may make them more desirable at first glance. Out of the ones we haven't seen parts for, I'm most excited for the Laser Robot. I hope they do something new/exciting/bonkers with it, and considering the robots we've gotten before, this is the one I hope is not a rehash in any way, shape, or form. For an animal mold, I wouldn't mind getting a gecko or iguana or something like that, but any animal that we haven't gotten before would still be great nonetheless.

My fave is the clockwork robot, which is currently my keychain as well. Can't wait to see how this one stands out from the other 'bots! Quote
Robert8 Posted November 18, 2015 Author Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) If we were to get a new arm mold, I would expect them to use one color first before we start seeing more complex variations. Then that would be 4 new moulds: headpiece, crutch, left arm and right arm With short sleeve, only 3 new pieces are needed: headpiece, crutch and the upper part of the arm, which can be used for both sides Edited November 18, 2015 by Robert8 Quote

I guess I don't get the "upper arm" you're referring to... Edited November 18, 2015 by telaruhn Quote
Jbricks Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Here's another reason we likely won't see new arms-- the crutch has a horizontal bar for the minifigure to grasp so that the standard minifigure can hold it with arms straight down. If you don't know what I mean, check the image again. Also, crutches aren't held by the very top part (awkward guy, indeed!). Quote

Sven F Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Those nets will go straight to the parts bin, the one that's never used with all the fleshie heads, tinted windsrceens and bold minidolls. Quote
BrickOn Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 I'd like to see the pig mould soon :-) and maybe if we got to see the crutches that might shed some light on the new arm debate, although I would have thought not since we'll be getting new flippers as arms for shark guy. If they were going to spend money making new moulds then the satyr legs would be more welcome (for me), but maybe not for everyone because I guess a new arm mould could be used for loads more things than just the crutches. Quote
x105Black Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 If they were going to spend money making new moulds then the satyr legs would be more welcome (for me) Absolutely. I'd much rather see Satyr legs. It's the main thing I'm hoping to see. Quote
parsom Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Any idea when White Fang review will be released? Quote
rob-ot5000 Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 The thing about the theoretical new arms for the clumsy guy is that it would just make me even more aware of how poseable the regular arms aren't. I'd also rather see new leg molds. Quote

I'd also rather see new leg molds. That's a great point, and one I hadn't considered. You're absolutely right. Once they start down that path, I'd expect them to produce a wide variety of arm poses (but we know it would take them years to even give us a second one, and it would likely just be a recolor of this one). I'm doubtful of the legs, but still very, very hopeful. Quote
Itaria No Shintaku Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 I am pretty sure no new mold will be created, and that crutches will be made in a way that can fit a minifigure hand/arm like in my picture. Quote
