Disney Collectible Minifigures Series 1 Discussion

[Dorayaki]

I'm fine with molded feads for non-human characters. Quicky is a special case. Some of the costumes appeared in CMF lines all have holes of eyes and they're not considered as real Gorilla or Bunny.

Sure, but it's not the norm. Generalizations and criticisms are a two way street my friend. I fully expect a lot of disappointed little boys if they spend $4 on one of these polybags and end up with a princess figure. That doesn't make them or their parents wrong for those feelings.

And actually, that brings up an interesting point: What are the chances of seeing four legged characters like Simba or Bambi in either this or a future wave? I'd be sad if it never happened.

Reminds of Playmobil's blindbag series, but Playmobil's gender strategy is more on the basis of their already gender-balanced product lineup. But that's not the case happening now in LEGO CMFs, anyway.

I think people could use heroines in different ways. Either damsel-in-distress or brave teammates, which should be either fine for boys. And basically, theses Disney stories have girls already, unlike other LEGO's in-house media stories which may clearly target at boys.

As I referred earlier, molded animal characters might be similiar with the new Palace Pets sets or Friends' animal polybags. Hopefully other Disney classic animals would do that one day.

Is this a little better?

No, that's horrifying and it will give me nightmares!

[Actor Builder]

seconded.

I think I'll be scared of however they end up doing some of these...

[LEGODalekbuster523]

This is getting off topic, but the comment responded to is one that makes my hackles rise. It's not me being PC, it's me knowing that not all boys won't hate Minnie, and all 'princesses' won't hate Hook.

That's a generalisation that might work for many, or even most, but still ain't helpful.

If you want to avoid certain characters or get certain characters, or avoid duplicates - that's fine, by all means do that. But if you make generalisations, sometimes it's helpful to consider why you have them challenged.

That is exactly what PC is.

The poster in question was right. What boy is going to want something girly like Minnie?

Okay, maybe some girls might get Captain Hook because you do get 'Tom boys' but most will find the more female-orientated minifigures more interesting.

I had hoped we were past this. But hey, enjoy your misogyny and heteronormative BS.

What year is this?

[Jefry Been]

Hope Disney characters will be better than Simsons;(

[williejm]

Well timone sort of is...just tiny

I've been wondering about this. If you cross over the various Disney and Pixar movies the are massive size differences - from characters that live inside someone's head, are insects, rodents, human sized or monsters. We saw the Itchy & Scratchy figures be the same size as regular figures ... So will we see Eg Chip & Dale square up as full size figure to Donald?

I didn't know John Oliver was on Eurobricks! :)

You can't win by telling your opponent that ''it's 2015'', though. It's a form of ad hoc fallacy used to derail arguments and make the other person seem primitive.

Can we go back to discussing Lego minifigs now?

Enough discussion of political correctness, what boys and girls like, etc. This discussion is so tired. If you need to have it, do so in General LEGO Discussion where threads already exist for that. Stick to the LEGO here please. Thanks!

[Huigberts Builds]

He asked if it's better then the original posted picture, what is even more terrifying, so actually it is better, not good, just better.

I hope not, as those are specifically stylized versions of animals.

[Dorayaki]

I don't know. As the animal icons are mostly known species, I understand why they have to be accurate molds,

Let's go back to the topic as Clone said. Now there are 12 places left.

Did anyone say Mikey confirmed? I guess we could see five Pixars at most this time.

Mickey&Friends are either five or three. Three means a big chance for a sequel series.

I hope to see Tron or another real actor representive, but it could also be zero this time.

Not so sure about Disney Channel Original category. Only if they could put one, either Agent P, Hannah or Stan.

Winnie is a possible choice (though I'd be sad for Eeyore). The rest would be those popular animated film stars like Jack Skellington, Stitch, Alice etc.

The 5 more pixar characters could be the inside out emotions, it will be a logical option now they are still popular. We will probably see 3 Mickey and friends characters, Mickey is a already confirmed and I think Minnie and Donald will be the other 2, however they might just keep it with Mickey, disney has done that multiple times in the past, mostly keeping the remaining characters for any future series, Disney infinity is the best example, an other question is will we get sorceress apprentice Mickey or regular Mickey, I would say probably regular if we get multiple Mickey and friends characters and if we only get Mickey sorceress apprentice, just like in infinity. I don't think Disney channel original characters will be added, especially not ones like Hannah Montana. Stan is not one of the 2 main characters, so probably not him. Perry is an option, but I don't think they will do any more Phineas and Ferb characters since it had it's final episode already. Winnie the Pooh is still an option, but I think it's audience rather buys duplo toys then Lego. We shouldn't worry to much about Eeyore since he will be sad anyway :p. For the animated movies I would say Lilo and Stitch since it's still very popular, especially in theme parks and Japan. Also I would suggest Aladdin (I know he might appear as a prince in princesses but still I think he will be in this series) then I would say Jaffar, going with the hero-villain idea, also he will join hook and Ursula as villain, we might get the other villains later.

What if there is a good guy and a bad guy from each movie. (Like syndrome and mr. incredible/hook and pan). I think we would see Jafar for the genie and the little mermaid for Ursula

[AFOLguy1970]

The absence of Goofy would give me a feeling that there would likely be a round 2. If they could go two rounds with the Simpsons, then surely Disney with its vast following could pull at least two rounds.

I would have to agree with others and think that Mickey and friends will get a fully molded head. It is hard to imagine any other way to make them look good.

[Dorayaki]

Yes. This is what we've got so far.

I mean.... oh never mind,

I don't think Disney channel original characters will be added, especially not ones like Hannah Montana. Stan is not one of the 2 main characters, so probably not him. Perry is an option, but I don't think they will do any more Phineas and Ferb characters since it had it's final episode already.

Like said earlier, any franchise other than Mickey&Friends better not take too many places here. If any new franchise is still hot enough, I wish to see any regular set born instead of CMF inclusion.

Forget LEGO Games, since Perry is added in this years' Infinity, he is still an available option. Otherwise, the current on-air shows could be the candidates here

I would like see TV shows considered a Disney member, so one spot is good enough for them to redeem their names.

> Japan

Only if not Yuna..... Yeah, Stitch and Lilo would be nice enough for the franchise. As for the villain category, since three are confirmed, I expect at least two more.

Ursula would be a Plan B for the current lack of villain in regular Princess line. And some other franchises would have multiple good guys (like Team Incredibles) so it's not a fixed rule.

The second good character from Peter Pan would either be Tinklebell or Wendy, but sadly the former is more like the icon to Disney franchises.

[Robert8]

I don't think it will be necessarily good vs evil for all of them

Some could be main character/sidekick

I don't even know if Yuna is even considered canon outside of Japan. I actually really like that show, but it's not as good as the original. I think 2 more villains will be nice, Jaffar for sure, I would love to get him, probably to go with Genie (if they won't do an Alladin figure, if that's the case they really should hurry making Aladdin in minidoll format, otherwise we will have all characters in some way except the main one XD). Maleficent would be a good second, but I somehow see Lego do her rather in minidoll format, Idk why. Maybe Cruella DeVil? I would certainly buy her, and she will be another female character, something we don't have much of in the Lego universe, she will also give us an amazing body part.

Edited December 29, 2015 by Huigberts Builds

[Dorayaki]

Cruella+Patch would be a decent combination. She's a rare, non-magical villain from modern times (and it's kinda like Cruella is more iconic than Roger and Anita )

Just not sur how to execute her fur coat. The one Classic King and Queen wear is furry but a cape.

[Robert8]

(and it's kinda like Cruella is more iconic than Roger and Anita )

Kinda???

She is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more iconic than those guys

She is even getting a live action movie, just like Maleficent

[Ultron]

She is even getting a live action movie, just like Maleficent

Which still makes me want to vomit. Ugh. They're gonna turn her into some hero who was "actually trying to save the puppies!"

[Robert8]

I'd love to see a Cruella minifigure, but if there is another villain in this series, I'd say Maleficent has more chances to appear

Which still makes me want to vomit. Ugh. They're gonna turn her into some hero who was "actually trying to save the puppies!"

Ha! I hope they won't do that. Maleficent movie was awful. And I think they learned the lesson

Which is exactly why I don't watch disney's live action spin-offs/remakes of classic animated films in theaters. I really hope if Maleficent does show up in this series, it's the animated version.

It will be, LEGO wouldn't do that to us. I hope.
