CM4Sci Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Hey wait, why wouldn't they double-mould his boots? Quote
just2good Posted October 5, 2015 Author Posted October 5, 2015 Do they need a prototype for this minifigure, though? They already made him Well, I mean by protoype, it means before it's printed (all minifigures are like this once in a while). But as 'amazingbricks' said, new printing is highly expected. I've been saying this for a while now! I'd expect arm printing now, maybe printing on the side of the legs too. Buzz gets me really excited, the fact he lacked printing on his arms before made me sad, and side printing would be great for him as well. Maybe even a closed helmet mould. Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Maybe buzz will have a laser button print on his arm! Quote
just2good Posted October 5, 2015 Author Posted October 5, 2015 Maybe buzz will have a laser button print on his arm! Exactly, this stuff gets me hyped and makes me not mind that they're taking up spots. The only reason I see that they wouldn't be in is if there will be Toy Story 4 sets in 2017 (I wouldn't mind that either, plus then we'd finally get Bo Peep). But even if they are in this series, I still think that there will be Toy Story 4 sets anyways. They can be in both, it'd save LEGO some money doing that as well. Quote

If we get any minifig princesses in this series (which I kinda doubt) then that could be reused for Bo Peep? Quote
Blondie-Wan Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Is there any reason to think those aren't just from the creation of the 2010 theme, and that they're from this upcoming series? Quote
Robert8 Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 I guess you're right just2good (as usual ) Including Buzz and Woody will save them 2 new moulds for the series Because they will need a lot of new moulds for this series. The accessories and the headpieces have to be accurate to the movies This time they can't just give random 2x2 printed tiles to everyone, like The Simpsons Quote
just2good Posted October 5, 2015 Author Posted October 5, 2015 If we get any minifig princesses in this series (which I kinda doubt) then that could be reused for Bo Peep? Indeed, I was thinking they'd just use felt like the Fairy Princess keychains, but I dunno. Is there any reason to think those aren't just from the creation of the 2010 theme, and that they're from this upcoming series? Well, no, that why I said I may be looking too much into it in my first post. I guess you're right just2good (as usual ) Including Buzz and Woody will save them 2 new moulds for the series Because they will need a lot of new moulds for this series. The accessories and the headpieces have to be accurate to the movies This time they can't just give random 2x2 printed tiles to everyone, like The Simpsons For that, maybe Jack Sparrow will be in the series too. But he's way less likely in my opinion, heck, there's not much new they can add to him to make him more unique. Toy Story toys sell like crazy, not sure about POTC stuff... but Jack isn't on the level of iconicity to Buzz and Woody that warrants him a re-release, either (but, thinking about Jack... Jack Skellington is a pretty popular charter who can be in here...) Quote
Ultron Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 (but, thinking about Jack... Jack Skellington is a pretty popular charter who can be in here...) He would need the tall Woody legs though! He could make for such a cool minifig. Quote
just2good Posted October 5, 2015 Author Posted October 5, 2015 Annnnnd, sorry for getting y'all excited. Read the comment section. Quote
CM4Sci Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Annnnnd, sorry for getting y'all excited. Read the comment section. Aw, that sucks. Back to square one! Quote
gedren_y Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 At least square one is something. Goose-eggs would be worse. Quote
Sven F Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Good news for some. I hate molded heads, it diminishes the purpose of a minifigure and goes against the concept of creativity through part exchange ability which LEGO is supposed to be about. Quote
Blondie-Wan Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Good news for some. I hate molded heads, it diminishes the purpose of a minifigure and goes against the concept of creativity through part exchange ability which LEGO is supposed to be about. Perhaps, but I've also seen some clever MOCs that incorporated specialized minifigure heads to represent things other than heads. Quote
8BrickMario Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 I won't be surprised if Woody's there anyway. I would give anything to have an official Jack Skellington! I really like the unofficial "Pumpkin King", but c'mon, it's not official. Quote
x105Black Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 A Jack Skellington would be great. Any excuse to get some more tall legs with more variation (Black would be awesome). As for the molded heads, that Woody design makes me think that some characters (like Captain Hook) might have molded heads like that if they appear in this series. I'd prefer regular minifigure heads, but remembering Woody makes me think it's unlikely. Then again, those characters were specific toys, not just animated characters. That could be the reason for the molds. Someone like Peter Pan wouldn't need one, in my opinion. Quote
kevkipo Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 I Lol'd at that comment on MFPG J2G , love that "Whoops" I'm really sorry to say so, but i'm happy as well that they make space for new figs Quote
dmarvin Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 As Blondie-Wan said, this is the Minfigures theme A car is not a minifigure. It could be accessory, but that's it It wouldn't even work as an accessory; it's just a ridiculous idea. Quote
CM4Sci Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Let's settle this now - there will be NO Cars characters in this series. Quote
Robert8 Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 I won't be surprised if Woody's there anyway. I would give anything to have an official Jack Skellington! I really like the unofficial "Pumpkin King", but c'mon, it's not official. And he wouldn't need new pieces! Santa's hat could be his accessory (Can't remember if a minifigure can hold it in the hand, though) Quote
8BrickMario Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 It can't be, but the vampire teddy bear and Zero would be great accessories. Quote
Ultron Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 And he wouldn't need new pieces! Santa's hat could be his accessory (Can't remember if a minifigure can hold it in the hand, though) They would maybe give him a new head mold, since it's very round and may not look good as a standard head. Quote
Dannylonglegs Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 I definitely Hope for Buzz and Woody! Iconic characters that I never got! Also... I gotta get Woody... just so I can have... Longlegs. Let's settle this now - there will be NO Cars characters in this series. Aww.. I got my hopes up that I'd see horrendous anthropomorphic car people. ~Insectoid Aristocrat Quote
Huigberts Builds Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 I definitely Hope for Buzz and Woody! Iconic characters that I never got! Also... I gotta get Woody... just so I can have... Longlegs. Aww.. I got my hopes up that I'd see horrendous anthropomorphic car people. ~Insectoid Aristocrat There might be hope for the long legs in this series, I see them used for goofy, when giving donald normal legs and mickey short legs. And I know the feels about the car people :p. But there might be hope, if we ever get a cars 3 where they become transformers XD. Quote
LEGODalekbuster523 Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 Maybe I'm looking too much into this, but Minfigure Price Guide received this Woody prototype from a source recently. Is it possible this came from a production for the Disney Minifigures Series? I think it's highly likely. Toy Story is the most popular Pixar film; if Pixar gets any inclusion, it'll be with Buzz and Woody. Quote
