I'm so ready to see what the Arabian Knight will look like.

I'm so ready to see what the Arabian Knight will look like.

I've heard he's one of the minifigures that uses past minifigure pieces :(

That's not necessarily a bad thing

I hope he'll use this piece in dark red, because I don't have it

New color would be nice :)

Hmm, not a bad thing. I hope he doesn't disappoint though.

I think he'll look exactly like this with new prints, maybe boots, and maybe no mustache.

This. While figures made of existing parts aren't as "exciting" as other figures, many of them still have unique colors, and failing that, unique prints.

The Arabian Knight will almost undoubtedly have a turban if he is comprised of existing pieces. As for weapons - probably a sword of some kind. Whether he will dual-wield swords of be a sword-and-shield bearer remains to be seen. As for armor - I'm thinking nothing plastic. Maybe a cloth cape if we're lucky. I'm kind of hoping for an extensively detailed print figure akin to the Frightening Knight or Wrestling Champion, even though those two each had a new part...

Edit: I also wouldn't mind a BIG sword like CM4Sci's interpretation, but I certainly hope it's not that specific sword, even if it looks right... Something about it is off to me.

That looks pretty believable, but I would rather see the return of the armoured arabian knight, like the Prince of Persia one:

This would be a major waste. We would essentially be getting a new torso and that's it. That would be VERY disappointing. I don't look for CMFs to give me rehashes of existing pieces.

A recolor of the turban would be OK, I guess, but black and white are the common colors, and we have those already. While do red would be fine, it would be limited in use, and not necessary. A new helmet or hat would be much better.

I never got why they never used that piece for dengar. Better then the white head and pirate bandana they use now

The upcoming Dengar will use the unlucky cmf dude headgear that will be better than they use now.

We still need to see the new dog and penguin, right? What are the chances that they'll use the friends poodle and penguin with a new print? I mean that poodle and pwnguin will look just fine with a normal print, right?

[Robert8]

The dog is new. That was confirmed by someone, but I don't remeber who

For the penguin... we don't know

I guess we could see the Friends penguin recolored

And, I believe it was said that the dog will be a terrier-style dog (like Toto from The Wizard of Oz).

There was a mock-up of the Friends penguin mold with CMF-style print on this thread. It looked fine to me, even though I'd rather see a new mold for a different kind of penguin... Like an emperor penguin or a rockhopper!

I did all of these things!

Wait.. A penguin suit guy and a animal penguin in the same series!?

Start saving your money to make your own penguin army! I know i will!

[Robert8]

Yep

LEGO had no mercy this time

Also, we don't know much about Spooky Boy. I'm guessing no new pieces with him also.

[Silverwolf28]

Every time I see this thread bumped, I'm hoping for leaked pics. :(

Bumped just for you.

I really hope he won't have that mustache piece, as it adds a comical effect on minifigures, not needed in this case

[ChiefPie]

The Rogue looks pretty cool.

[Zergos]

aw rip I didn't get to see new pics :(

[Ardelon]

I would also like new pieces for the Arabian Knight, but recolors of current parts could be good too. I assume that being a knight he would have a helmet, like the PoP soldiers/hassansins. If not then I would prefer the PoP turban to the Orient Expedition one or the newer snake charmer one.

But what I really REALLY wish for is a new, narrower scimitar mold. Something new and better proportioned than the oversized old one or the notched one used for Orcs and Troll and Goblins and whatnot. But I fear they will use either of these or even the European greatsword.
