And she got the nickname Madame Deficit for spending most of the country's money on her jewelry...why do we want her again? Anyway, I doubt we'll get an official M.A., just a lookalike from the French or English court, with a tall wig and large dress.

Because she's an iconic figure, and this is a line of iconic figures. :wink:

Also, we're sorely missing French Aristocrat figures. :wink:

She was no worse than any of her contemporaries, and when your nicknames come from the enflamed populace that will eventually put you to death, you have to take them with a very large grain of salt.

The French crown spent a considerable chunk of their wealth providing the American colonists with a navy during the American Revolution. Without which we would have lost to Britain. I believe there are many factors that lead to French Revolution, but the history books are written by the winners.

I think the new dress mold can be used for 18th and 19th dresses. I would like CMFs inspired by Marie Antoinette as well as other time periods. But my MOCs tend to be historical in tone.

On another note, I wonder what the janitors name will be. He has a nametag on his overall, but I cannot make out the name in it in the pictures I have seen so far. Can anyone?! :laugh:

They appear to be in the stockroom at my local Target. I gave the clerk DPCI # 204-00-1379 and he said there were 240 in the stockroom but when he returned he said there was a January 1, 2016 street date on the box.

So they're in stores!

Animal Control and Farmer are so terrible, I can't believe they actually exist.

Bit harsh, and (obviously) subjective. I like them both & love both accompanying critters.

We have to taste the bitter to know the sweet, agreed there are always a couple of ho-hum minifigs in each series but you can't please everyone all the time, if you only hate 2 of 16 that's pretty good going, I've just seen the possible Disney CMF series list... if it's accurate I'll be lucky to find 2 of 16 I'd want to buy :sick: Edited by Brickr

UGH, I'm really, REALLY sorry for the upcoming ranting, but I HATE it when people confuse historical periods, Marie Antoinette lived in 18th century, and died beheaded during French Revolution. Queen Victoria ruled over Britain during second half of the 19th century. The style of art and fashion during the reign of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette is called ROCCOCO, not Victorian. Gosh, didn't you have history classes in school? Jeez!

Ok, rant is over, and yeah, I also do think we need more 18th century style minifigs, apart from the Revolutionary Soldier, the Judge, and Pirate Captain...

Ok, breathe. Rant appreciated! When i wrote this, the only style that came to mind was victorian, now that you mention the Rococo period I totally remember it and learning about the period in college as well as all the different periods. Baroque etc...

On a side note, I know she wasn't the best Queen, which is why she was beheaded, but I'll be just as satisfied with something resembling her style on a minifigure. :grin:

Because she's an iconic figure, and this is a line of iconic figures. :wink:

I could't have said it better myself :sweet:

I feel the same with every robot mecha, armour, bionicle, transformer thingy that comes in every series, but I suppose they wouldn't exist if nobody liked them.

I felt the same way about the Monster Rocker and the Zombie Cheerleader from S14

I thought it was a bad joke

On the bright side, we do get two new moulded animals. So that's something to be happy about.

People have guessed farmer and animal control (ranger) as possible minifigure and so now we have them.

It's true that the monster rocker and zombie cheerleader are a bit lame.

I can't, but it looks short probably the designers nickname.
