MAB Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 It does seem to be the standard convention here on EB to insert "collectible" (or a variant spelling thereof) in front of (capital-M) Minifigures, as though that were the official terminology, so as much as it grates, I do see the point. It's kind of bizarre, though, that there's a whole LEGO product class for which it's discouraged, even practically forbidden, to refer to it here by its actual, official name. (For anyone wondering what I'm talking about, the word "collectible" isn't actually part of the name of what usually gets referred to around here as "Collectible Minifigures" or "CMFs". They're officially just "Minifigures". I personally dislike using the word "collectible" with them, partly because so many people seem to think it's part of the official name when it isn't, but mainly because so many seem to mistakenly take the word "collectible" to mean "limited edition" or something like that, and then take umbrage when so-called CMFs or CMF parts turn up in seasonal sets, brick calendars, Build-a-Minifigure kiosks, etc. But it's true even TLG itself has occasionally used the word in conjunction with the line. I just tend to regard it as the adjective it is, not as part of the name.) Lego often use collectible rather than Collectible. As in, collectible Minifigure Series or Series 15 Minifigure collectibles. The same thing is done on bricklink too, the category is title Collectible Minifigures. Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 How? Some don't look that great anymore... Quote
CM4Sci Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Those look like knockoffs, Syndrome especially. How'd they get them?! Quote
Tygurah Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) These probably ARE knockoffs. Peter's got golden knives, Maleficent is missing her cape and Buzz and Syndrome look horrible. Edited March 31, 2016 by Tygurah Quote
Robert8 Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) I think they are real Hispabrick got a copy of the Maze from TLG to review it It seems they got a box of these as well These probably ARE knockoffs. Peter's got golden knives, Maleficent is missing her cape and Buzz and Syndrome look horrible. He has golden knives. It seems the CGI is wrong Edited March 31, 2016 by Robert8 Quote
CM4Sci Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Why them and not WF? WF is the Minifig Review guy.. Quote
Robert8 Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Why them and not WF? WF is the Minifig Review guy.. No idea But these look real to me.... Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 But these look real to me.... Sadly... you're right. Quote
Ultron Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 There is no way these are fake. Syndromes hair color does look off to me, but that's it. Even if these *somehow* are fake, they might as well be real because they look exactly like this. Quote
strangely Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) I'd say the knock-off look is because of the terrible lighting. That's giving everything a weird color and texture. It also doesn't help that some of these character designs aren't very Lego and so they don't look too real even in the official pictures (Incredible and Syndromes eyes seem very off for the Lego style). Why them and not WF? WF is the Minifig Review guy.. Better question: Why didn't they take pictures of the side we haven't seen??? Seriously I'm anxious to see what these look like from literally any other angle. It would also be nice to find out if there's any alt faces. Edited March 31, 2016 by strangely Quote
hadidi1999 Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Seriously I'm anxious to see what these look like from literally any other angle. It would also be nice to find out if there's any alt faces. Yup I would bet on the mouses and the ducks. Quote
BrickFit26 Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 Those do look real, they look meh is those pictures i think because of the bad lighting. Still hate that half of them don't have accessories. Quote
greenalfonzo Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 Aren't a lot of the 'fakes' made in the same chinese factory as the 'real' ones are, but just go out the back door? Quote
Brickity Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 The Alice in Wonderland ones are beyond perfect. Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 These have to be early models, some look finished and some don't. However, they were lucky to get these already. Quote
deskp Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 They look perfectly fine, just look past the drab pictures/lighting. Quote
Robert8 Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 WF's review will be out soon I assume Let's wait to see it, so we can conclude if these are real or not But I'm like 99% sure these are real I've never seen leaked stuff posted on Hispabrick Quote
Ashnflash Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 They all look a little off.. But the molds seem legit and they all look pretty good Quote
ultiminutes Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) Wondering why hispabrick only took a straight, full on shot without other angles. A bit of a rush to get it out I presume. Would have loved to see how they managed/did not manage to capture the tail tuft with a print Assuming the shirt would be higher at the back leaving enough space for a decent print. On another note, they seemed to have given accessories only to those figs with normal fig heads (with the exception of Buzz), though the choices of accessories for some of them are poor (Looking at the Incredibles duo, Aladdin and Ariel) Edited April 1, 2016 by ultiminutes Quote
Ultron Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 I wonder if genie would look better if you just gave him the ponytail piece that white tiger/ninjago genie have. The ears really aren't necessary and detract from the fig Quote
CM4Sci Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 I wonder if genie would look better if you just gave him the ponytail piece that white tiger/ninjago genie have. The ears really aren't necessary and detract from the fig Nah, that's too big. Quote
Robert8 Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) That piece would work better for Jafar in genie form Edited April 1, 2016 by Robert8 Quote
