Surprisingly fair distribution in this wave, very equal.

Although that being said, I don't know why anyone would want to buy a whole box--considering how specific each character is.

I'm gonna buy about half a box for a set of the characters and parts. Plus a couple extra Stitch so I can have one everywhere haha. Also, it's great that there are 4 Mr. Incredible per box. Even if his body isn't great for the other members of the family, I will probably still make my own versions of them.

How easy are these going to be to feel for? I haven't done any molded head feeling since Simpsons Series 1.

The ducks and mice should be hard. They're both super similar but with a dress or a bow

Looks like Stitch will be very easy to feel for, which is great, and it's good that there's 4 of him in the box. :classic: I wouldn't mind building a Stitch army, off to conquer the universe. :laugh: I suppose that's what Jumba wanted, right?

I think Minnie and Mickey should be pretty easy to differentiate. The dress is a large piece. Overall, the series will be pretty easy to feel for I think.

I think it's to be expected. The reality is all of these minifigures end up getting new molds, they just happen to be head/hair molds and so accessories are the thing that gets left out. At least with the new Disney molds they're actually reusable whereas the Simpsons heads will never work for anything else.

Who cares about reusability?

They're not supposed to be reused.

LEGO probably cares about reusability since molds do cause them quite a large amount of money. They almost went out of business because they were making multiple new molds for most sets back in the early 2000's or late 1990's.

You don't have a very subtle way of expressing your opinions. It's not the first time you came off as very rude in discussions.

And I care about reusability.

LEGO spends a good deal of money in developing new molds, so ideally, any new piece should be able to be used again in the future to make a return from the mold development. Unless the characters themselves make future appearances, heavily specific parts like the Mouses' and Ducks' heads are getting back less than they cost.

They could definitely reuse some of those head moulds in a future series, just using an alternate outfit for the figure, or maybe different face prints. Stitch is the one that comes most to mind here, because they could certainly reuse his head and put it on the red jumpsuit from the start of the movie.

I do certainly care about reusability as well, in fact, the only figs I'll try to get from this wave (Syndrome, Ursala and Maleficent) are going to be taken apart as soon as I have put them together and displayed them for a few days, so I can make my own characters with them. Isn't that what the minifig concept is about; swapping, mixing and matching to create an infinite amount of different characters?

Oh, their tails look great! I love how they captured the shape.

Dang, I didn't realize how excited I was for this series. I love Disney, and I love Alice, and sorceresses, so this is pretty well suited to my tastes. I can't wait to get some of these.

I must say that they did a great job on the tail pieces! Really interested to see more angles and finally seeing it in person myself.
