Disney Collectible Minifigures Series 1 Discussion

Wait so this series has 18 right? Not 16? Because the box at the toy fair says 16

I'd say it's a mistake

The catalog pic and the box in the London Toy Fair said 18.

[Amazing Bricks]

That box gets me more excited, definitely my most anticipated series.

No Mickey Mouse minifigure reveal at least? LEGO are just being unfair now.

I'm sure we will know nothing until the official release in their facebook page. It's taking them too long, however.

And about Hades, it's likely we'll get him now that we have the ghost rider, but his "fire-hair" will probably be too voluminous for Hades.

What do you mean "taking too long"? Series 15 just hit (North American) shelves two weeks ago. The Simpsons series that came out at the same time last year as these will be this year was revealed mid-March. It's not like this is an unprecedented wait.

[CM4Sci]

As much as I wanna see this series, we just saw over 100 new sets for the rest of the year, we can wait a bit.

16 or 18 There's been some confusion going on lately with CMF, more like lack of attention to details.

Seeing as there is no detail on minifigures, this is obviously a prototype box, and as all previous series have used 16 (except for Mr Gold) figures, this is just a little change in color and sparkles to represent Disney. The color is the only thing that changes on these prototype boxes

Yea, but tiny details like having the number 16 on the box instead of 18 make me I'm a perfectionist though haha.

For three-colored legs, couldnt they just dye the main piece yellow on the bottom half or third, keep the top part red, and then apply the middle black plastic normally?

[CM4Sci]

I think they'd just print it black and red then paint the shoes yellow.

[Actor Builder]

It'd probably work better If they were red and yellow with printed black. Yellow printed on black would not work very well. We would all be mad that the yellow didn't look right because it was printed over black.

That doesn't work out if its short legs.

And if it was short legs the shoes would be red not black before printing.

Red colour for the main part, lower part printed over with yellow (as much as possible) and the middle part (what can be a separate colour anyway) just in black. Don't know if it's possible however.

Well hopefully they won't use short legs.

[JaseTJ]

My word, can we give Mickey's legs a rest? They'll do it how they do it, and we aren't gonna affect their decision (and the fact that they've already finished his design is the last reason for that).

I realize there hasn't been much news, but this discussion is gonna drive me batty... Can we just, I dunno, be patient..?

If you'd like to offer up a new topic of discussion, I'd be all ears (Mickey Mouse Pun Intended), but as it stands you're just telling us to stop saying anything because you don't like reading it, which is silly.

So, no.

LEGS! LEGS LEGS! MOUSE LEGS! I think they'll be short, but that's just my guess.

[strangely]

They could always create new legs entirely. It's not like that hasn't happened before.

Good point, but with all the new head pieces in this series, it seems unlikely.

Well Mickey's head mold would likely be reused (for Minnie), so I could see them creating two new molds for one character if future use was likely.

[MysteriousSir]

I'm honestly of the opinion over here that they'll be regular. Everyone's focusing on height proportion, but let's not forget how absurdly skinny his legs are. I think short legs would be jarringly disproportionate in that regard and regular, although not height-accurate, would create a better overall impression.

[CM4Sci]

Kinda sorta related to this series - interesting video of how the DUPLO Mickey was made. Did you see that tool they used for making the head mold? I wonder if they'll use this for this series' molds.

Isn't that usually how they create new pieces? That video showed pretty much the same process they've shown in the past.

That Duplo Mickey looks huge.
