Dannylonglegs Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) Uhhh....Mickey Mouse? I did add the clause "most". Of course Mickey is more iconic... but I'd argue that in the main Disney canon (not including certain recent acquisitions) that she and Mickey are more iconic than any other ones listed. (Except maybe Cinderella). I mean... who is the one that flies the sparkle of light over the Disney castle in the beginning of every Disney film? Is it Ariel? Is it Bambie?... also she has far more fame among little girls than almost any other Disney character of which I am aware. Trust me. My sister was just in her Tink phase maybe 4 years ago. We still have fairy stuff all over the attic. But she wouldn't let me buy her Elves sets. No, she's "too old" for that. I maintain that Tink and Mickey are Disney's biggest icons. This said I've never been to Disneyland or even Florida (or Cali) for that matter, and cannot attest to being a Disney expert (as evinced my my numerous gaffes already). ~Insectoid Aristocrat Edited October 21, 2015 by Dannylonglegs Quote
BrickOn Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Maleficent was the villain in Sleeping Beauty, not Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. I couldn't let that pass without comment. Sure but they are pretty similar... I can't wait for some leaks on this subject, so much speculation, we'll have long picked all the best characters by the time the series comes out at this rate!

gedren_y Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Sleeping Beauty is the name of the movie, the character's name is Aurora. Why do people not remember this? She is already in Disney Princesses, so I doubt we'll see Maleficent. If we get Peter Pan, which is still speculation based on the anticipation of a store employee, Tinkerbell could very well be a microfigure with him. I am hoping TLG does the same thing for Disney that they did for the Simpsons; an attendant set with exclusive figures. It would be really funny if they gave us a Disney parade float. Quote
Dannylonglegs Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) Sleeping Beauty is the name of the movie, the character's name is Aurora. Why do people not remember this? She is already in Disney Princesses, so I doubt we'll see Maleficent. Now that I do know, and was just using Sleeping Beauty as a moniker. I don't think Aurora's inclusion in the Princess line precludes the inclusion of her or Maleficent, but certainly, Maleficent is the more iconic of the two. I don't think "Disney Princesses" will compete at all with the CMF line. The demographic targeted is different, and none of the molds of the former can be used in the latter. ~Insectoid Aristocrat Edited October 21, 2015 by Dannylonglegs Quote

Even if princesses are included in the CMF series (which I hope to see), I don't think the 2 will compete either. Quote
LEGODalekbuster523 Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 maybe lego will get lazy and reuse these molds http://lego.wikia.co...y_Mouse_(Theme) Hope not. They don't look like they have the charm of most LEGO minifigures. LEGO could do so much better. Quote
8BrickMario Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 maybe lego will get lazy and reuse these molds http://lego.wikia.co...y_Mouse_(Theme) I doubt those molds are even in operation anymore. Whatever the case, they're not true minifigures, so they most certainly won't be used. Quote
BrickBob Studpants Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Those are Duplo moulds, they wouldn't even fit in the CMF bags Quote

Dr.Cogg Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Do you guys think the minifigs will mostly be minifig bodies with special heads ? Quote
8BrickMario Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Not every character would require a molded head, but it might be a bit awkward to mix molded and standard, especially since that would leave some of the minifigures with noses and some without. Quote
JaseTJ Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 One more time... Human characters: normal heads. Non-human characters: molded heads. Just saying, it's not that complicated. That's just the most sensible way to do it. Now, on to a more interesting topic, I'm pretty sure I saw some Mickey Mouse sets listed among the 2016 releases on Brickset. I don't care to bother checking the names, but I thought you guys might be interested. It would be a good way to get Pluto without worrying about fitting him with Mickey. Quote

The last Duplo Mickey set looked like this (warning: it's an abomination). Quote

pittpenguin123 Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) snip ok lets get back on track i dont think we will be getting duplo blind bags Edited October 21, 2015 by Clone OPatra Don't quote pictures Quote
Dannylonglegs Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 I want the Chip and Dale blockfigs. Needless to say, new moulds will be required for certain figures. ~Insectoid Aristocrat Quote
Darkdragon Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Chip & Dale (rescue rangers era) could give us some pretty fun accessories. Quote
CM4Sci Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 get back on track but, yeah, the DUPLO figures don't look too bad, so I hope we get something similar. Quote

8BrickMario Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 I wonder how they'll do Mickey's shoes. I think dual-molded legs wouldn't allow for his pants, legs, and shoes to be represented on one pair of legs. Quote
strangely Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 I wonder how they'll do Mickey's shoes. I think dual-molded legs wouldn't allow for his pants, legs, and shoes to be represented on one pair of legs. I could see them creating a piece that attaches to the bottom of the legs like the flipper piece or Dorothy's slippers for his shoes. Or they could mold a special pair of legs for him. Quote
Actor Builder Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 I wonder how they'll do Mickey's shoes. I think dual-molded legs wouldn't allow for his pants, legs, and shoes to be represented on one pair of legs. I think they could. Yellow footy-bottoms, black begs with the pants beginning red on the upper leg and continuing onto the torso with big stylish yellow buttons. Quote
Robert8 Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Those heads could be used for the CMF Does anyone know if these can be attached to regular torsos? Quote
