Nerd-with-a-Pencil Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 You're right, that voice is death. Anyway, my thoughts: Ice Queen: definitely my favorite of the series. I love the way the elemental blades actually look like ice, and her dress is amazing. Babysitter: Probably gonna pass on this one, though she is a cutie. Scallywag Pirate: I can live without this one too, though knowing my luck with previous CMF pirates, I'll end up choked to the gills with him, fig-per-box distribution be darned. Wildlife Photographer: Eh. She's got a cute penguin. Dog Show Guy: That's a cool hairpiece. Might be worth picking up between that and the dog. Imp: This one's a must-have for me. Excellent pieces, and I adore that black trident. Cyborg: I'll probably get this one. Shame about the lack of torso printing (I'm not surprised, just disappointed). Kickboxer: Probably gonna pass. Rogue: Absolutely love that face; heck, all the printing on this figure is en pointe, except that bit of red. Hiker: Nice backpack, but there's a tragic lack of a "complete and total agony" alternate face. Spooky Boy: It appears that I am in the minority of people who actually want this guy. He's just so Burtonesque. Arabian Knight: He was disappointing at first, but he's grown on me. I'm probably gonna pick him up. Mariachi: I missed Maraca Man, I missed Taco Tuesday Guy, I ain't missing this guy. Penguin Suit Guy: Sure, he's cute, but I'm probably gonna pass. Banana Man: More like Banana Meh. Spy: Excellent piece assortment. Definitely getting this one. My overall Faves: Ice Queen, Spooky Boy, Imp, Rogue. Quote
Nerd-with-a-Pencil Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 Is it just me, or does the Spy have the Alpha Team insignia on his outfit? Quote
Tazakk Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 Is it just me, or does the Spy have the Alpha Team insignia on his outfit? He does! He's a remake of the original Dash minifig. Quote
Mr Greeble Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 Looks like I'll be collecting a full series again... Quote
Robert8 Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 Looks like I'll be collecting a full series again... Wait! Is that your username in the Hiker's map?! Quote
sunhuntin Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) Well, I have added some figs to my list after enduring that video. I do wish she had spent more time on ones like the Spy and Rogue who have covered up faces. They are two I have added to my list, as parts only right now. Edited July 17, 2016 by sunhuntin Quote
Forresto Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 I'm slightly disappointed that the hiker's legs are tan and not olive but I feel like they would look good on some of the figures from the recent rebel trooper battle pack. Wait! Is that your username in the Hiker's map?! It says Greeble Trail Quote
Tech Artist Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) My local Lego store is telling me likely next week they will get a shipment of series 16 in. So I'll be waiting till then. I'm happier with this outcome as my work schedule goes back to normal so I can make the time to go get at least a few of them. The guy said there will always be stores that get them first. Edit: I will be getting multiple banana man figs to go with my 6 shark ones. :) Edited July 17, 2016 by Tech Artist Quote
Mr Greeble Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 Wait! Is that your username in the Hiker's map?! Ha! I just noticed that. I might use the map for my profile pic when I get it. Quote
SFmuscle73 Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 This early release is just BANANAS!!! Which come to think about it IS fitting with the inclusion of the Banana Suit Guy! ;) Quote
Borex Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 Bananaman. Imp. (For making a devil) Rogue. (Need the pants) Wildlife photographer. (Need the arms and the legs and love the penguin) Penguinsuit. Those are the ones i'll try to get. Quote
AmperZand Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) Although you don't get a good look at it, it seems that the hiker's map has somewhere called "Greeble" on it which, if correct, is a nice touch. Wait! Is that [...Mr Greeble's] username in the Hiker's map?! I believe I answered that on the previous page of this thread. Nice to have it confirmed though. Edited July 17, 2016 by AmperZand Quote
Boettner Builds Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 Does anyone have/ can anyone take a picture of the hikers backpack please? :) Quote
BrickFit26 Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 Thanks for the close up pics. They really look amazing. Just a minor of things I was like meh, the babysitters shirt, is it suppose to be an elderly man on her shirt? Also, does it look like Spooky boy has a fan showing or is it just me? Disappointed they didn't give him the new book mold from next knights. Quote
AmperZand Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Just noticed from his clasp that the rogue is a member of the Wolfpack, a sub-line of Castle released in the early 1990s! How cool is that? Quote
Borex Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 For all of you that see a grandpa on the shirt of the babysitter, it is a pug with red glasses. Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 The penguin has a stud on his back, really odd. Surprisingly, there's more back prints than ever. That's a good thing. Quote
Actor Builder Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 The penguin has a stud on his back, really odd. They designed it with Penguin-Loops in mind. Quote
sunhuntin Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 OK, checked two local stores today with no luck, sorry Coopa and other Kiwis. Quote
Robert8 Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 (edited) I really want to read the Spooky Boy bio because I just don't get what he is supposed to be The penguin has a stud on his back, really odd. Maybe they are planning to use it somehow in the superheroes theme They always use the CMF's to introduce pieces for the superheroes theme. Like the Harley Quinn hairpiece with the lame excuse of the "Zombie Cheerleader" Edited July 18, 2016 by Robert8 Quote
strangely Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 (edited) Found in Beavercreek Ohio TRU - release date is tomorrow. They had nothing when I was there yesterday... I want to cry! Side-note: is it just me, or is the devil kid's torso Elliot's from E.T.? Edited July 18, 2016 by strangely Quote
