Borex Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 The monsterseries was pretty easy to feel, but this series will be a bit harder i think. My predictions for feeling. Easy to feel: - queen: dress-piece is one of a kind - shark-guy: big fin&tail-piece, flippers instead of arms - animal control girl: skunk and big net Somewhat harder: - Farmer: can be mixed with animal control girl. pig doesnt have a tail like skunk. hat-piece. - Bear knight: look for the pointy mace and shield - Laser mech: can be mistaken for winged warrior i guess. Look for more round and straight curves - Winged warrior: may be mistaken for laser mech. Look for the helmet with wings and birdlike wings. - Tribal woman: look for the baby piece - Faun: look for new legs, and headpiece with pointy ears. Hard: These all feel a bit alike i think. - Ballerina: depending on whether it's an abs tutu or an clothpiece it maybe feels like it has two baseplates. - Janitor: Look for the stick and rubbery mop (i expect this to be rubber anyway) - Wrestler: Look for the champions cup - Kendoka: The helmet is quite big. Look for a big helmet, and swords i guess - Clumsy guy: Look for the crutches (might be mistaken for the kendoka) - Jewel thief: Look for the grapplerhook or the diamond. (can be mistalen for the tribal woman i guess) - Astronaut: Look for the stick and backpiece Quote
Alcarin Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Oh god, my eyes are teary.... the KNIGHT! i will buy them all :P Only thing i dislike is green plume on the knight and he has red shield, why not dark red plume :( Quote
Robert8 Posted December 4, 2015 Author Posted December 4, 2015 Any idea roughly when TLG reveal them? I'd say any moment now Today is a good guess Quote
Rogue Angel Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Huh, learned something new. Not a word I would ever see myself using, but I didn't know it was offensive. I always thought it just connoted a historical context/role. Reading up on the term and its etymology, I came across a line about stereotypical portrayals of the "squaw with the papoose", which raises the question: if the term is offensive, how is the fig itself not an offensive representation of said stereotype? I dunno, I didn't care about that particular fig before, and I don't now, but that got me thinking about it. Anyway. The fig is historically accurate, it's a mother and child. It's just the term that is considered offensive. A dark red plume would have been AMAZING! Quote
gedren_y Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 The word is still very offensive, and considered at minimum condescending, but has also been used a racialized epithet. It doesn't belong to all Native American languages, as well. The word has been removed from a number of longstanding terms and place names in the US. While the fig design looks very northeastern Native American, from where the pronunciation originates, don't use it. Call her Native Mother, and be done with it. Quote
x105Black Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 I think they'll go with Tribal Girl, but either works fine for me. Quote
jonwil Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Am I the only one who thinks the helmet on the golden guy work as a helmet for Thor? (especially if TLG was to make it in silver Quote
gedren_y Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Someone commented that it could be used as is for Heimdall. Quote
8BrickMario Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) No, her name will be Tribal Woman to avoid making her seem like too young a mother. But yeah, avoid that term Mentally, I equate it with "wench" being used for any other woman. Not necessarily intended to be, but both carry negative connotations. Why does everyone wonder if the tutu is cloth? It's clearly a solid rubber or plastic. Cloth wouldn't be able to keep that specific shape. I'm glad the Queen will be so easy to find.

x105Black Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 No, her name will be Tribal Woman to avoid making her seem like too young a mother. You may be right. Quote
pittpenguin123 Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 any one else things the farmer looks like TCW dooku but smiling, maybe in the new canon he retired and opened up a little moisture farm Quote
davidmull Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 any one else things the farmer looks like TCW dooku but smiling, maybe in the new canon he retired and opened up a little moisture farm Farmer has very similer look to the scarecrow from series 11 I think. I think they will go together well. Quote
SFmuscle73 Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 I don't think we have seen that tired head piece in dark red that could have been an option :) Quote
Robert8 Posted December 4, 2015 Author Posted December 4, 2015 I noticed the Tribal Woman has a skirt printed, instead of a cloth skirt. I wonder if the 2 toned legs will replace the cloth skirts Quote
Pop Star c o Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 My favorites: 1.Wrestler 2.Satyr 3.Clumsy man 4.Shark 5.Winged Warrior 6.Laser robot 7.Astronaut 8.Kendo Fighter 9.Kendo fighter 10.Jewel Thief 11.Dancer 12.Janitor 13.Queen 14.Scary Knight 15.Tribal Woman 16.Animal Control Quote
LuketheLEGOgeek Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 This is pretty random, but I could use the mop of the Janitor for the 11th Doctor. Quote
Mencot Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Am I the only one who thinks the helmet on the golden guy work as a helmet for Thor? (especially if TLG was to make it in silver Someone commented that it could be used as is for Heimdall. It could be used for both of them but as speculated we will probably see a Marvel superhero with that helmet in the future. This is a great series IMO in a long while, many useful parts but also many many nice figures as whole as a collective use. Awesome figures what I will get and keep one as collective and others for parts: Knight, Queen, Winged warrior, Burgler, Kendo, Native Women, Satyr, Farmer. Just for the figure: Wrestler (totally awesome "The Ultimate Warrior" homage) Animal control, Astronaut, Clumsy guy, Janitor, Sharksuit guy, Ballerina Totally bläääh: Mech, why this thing again? we have already two of this useless ... It has some cool parts, as his wings and that blade but the rest, No, just NO. Quote
Actor Builder Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 i will buy them all :P Oh no, I'd better hurry then. Quote
BrickFit26 Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 I don't think we have seen that tired head piece in dark red that could have been an option :) I don't think so either. It would have been a nice color to see. I still think that diner waitress's hairpiece in black or dark brown would have been better. Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Don't mark my word on this, but Dec. 7 official pictures for this series. Quote
Ardelon Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) I would prefer the ballerina hair in another color for Animal Control. top three: Knight, Queen, Tribal Woman (Doesnt really roll off the tongue - rather like Grandma Visitor) bottom three: Shark Suit Guy, Wrestler (though I do like that mullet), Laser Robot. More opinions when I have time to compose my thoughts. Edited December 4, 2015 by Ardelon Quote
davidmull Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Don't mark my word on this, but Dec. 7 official pictures for this series. Eh didn't we get them yesterday. Quote
Sid Sidious Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 I didn't really like any of this series, but then I saw the wrestler's mullet. I want to build an entire bemulleted city now. Quote
BrickFit26 Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 I kind of wish Tribal Woman's baby had color printing to detail what the baby is wrapped in tribal designs just like her. Quote
Robert8 Posted December 5, 2015 Author Posted December 5, 2015 Don't mark my word on this, but Dec. 7 official pictures for this series. My god... Dec 7th? Kinda late, isn't it? That means we'll have to wait almost a week for the review Quote
