BrickFit26 Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 Really nice figures, but the ones that stand out to me and are so far my favorites are the Spooky Knight, Egyptian Empress, and Sprite. Also love the printing on the homebound man. His bear slippers are adorable. Quote
Umbra-Manis Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 I know there's already a great description for him, but I just had to try my hand at the Homebound Man. Sorry @8BrickMario! Homebound Man "Brickler.....Brickler.....Brickler....." Homebound Man's fellow minfigures are subjected to this ordeal every time he's absent. Rumor has it he's been buying pink markers in bulk to avoid commitments, and spiking that tea with something that most definitely, is not honey. And as if that wasn't bad enough, he's also been spending his days street racing and leading obscure holiday parades and flash mobs. He would be in some real hot water --if anyone could ever catch him, that is. Quote
zoth33 Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 This series is your best yet I think the whole series is exceptional. The spooky knight is insanely good I love the tattered clothes and the broken helm. The winter sprite is fantastic I love the printing and the new hairpiece. The android is great so detailed. The celtic warrior is awesome love the facepaint. The evil genie is nicely done. Love it all man. Quote
makoy Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 I didn't realise this has been going on for quite sometime. You're at series F already. Lots of great ideas in here which makes me think -- Is this a challenge to TLG so that they keep on making fresh new minifigure designs? Quote
DarrellBricker Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 (edited) Right? I mean, really, Robert 8 has given us six series of pretty original designs and in Series 17 we get ... another Surfer?!? A Dance Instructor who looks like she's the Fitness Instructor's long lost, and possibly insane, sister?!? (Granted, she's growing on me the more I look at her, but still ...) A Frenchman who likes look the mime without his makeup? (Although the bulldog makes him a must have, of course ...) I don't say it to blow smoke up your you-know-where, but I would kill to have the Lego Group give some serious consideration to your designs because I would absolutely love to add just about all of these to my collection.

This thread is meant to be just a wishlist, with drawings. That's it. Also, from time to time I see people saying LEGO is running out of ideas for the regular CMFs and that LEGO should replace them with licensed series. Well, this thread is my reply to that Edited February 22, 2017 by Robert8 Quote
Borex Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 Cartoonguy and spooky knight are my favourites! Another job well done Robert8! Thanks for entertaining us and fantasising about cmf figs Quote

Yeah. For the Kayaker from Series C. The same happened with the duck floatie from the Lifesaver Guy from Series A. But it has to be a coincidence, because they work a whole year in advance. So, those pieces were already made when I posted these. Edited February 22, 2017 by Robert8 Quote

Itaria No Shintaku Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 If they did that spooky knight, I'd go bankrupt. Quote
Ed3n Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 Oh my gosh, your design are absolutely amazing!! If only lego mini figures are as good as your design. Lego should definitely employ you. Hopefully some of your design will become actual mini figure someday. Quote
Karalora Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 Not to make the comment section sound like a broken record, but this might just be the best one yet! I would make a point of collecting almost every single one, especially the Winter Sprite! (You teased me on it, you rascal!) But really, I make a point of grabbing all the historical, cultural, and fantasy characters in every CMF wave that comes out, so this one would definitely keep me busy! Quote

It might actually happen, because there is one in the Alexandre Boudon designs The design is different but the idea behind it is the same: an undead knight. Quote

Ogist Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Wow!!! This is realy amazing and very creative! Homebound man is perfect Quote

Man, if there were a theme around that, I'd just buy everything within 20 miles, lol. The black falcon's heraldry is a plus, but as long as they were well designed (like yours or Alexandre's), I'd be in, big time. Quote
Nerd-with-a-Pencil Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 So, After all this whinging about you one-upping me on designs, I've started to write down detailed descriptions of figs while I seek to find a way to actually visually design them. And it is HARD to make sure my Film Fan doesn't look like your Cinephile, can I just say. Quote

froggy95 Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 Incredible series! Lego needs to pay attention and/or hire you! Quote
Niku Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 Wow this last series is truly magnificent. I would certainly buy lots of them. :) Quote

Hive Posted April 8, 2017 Posted April 8, 2017 (edited) Spooky Knight and Minstrel are both absolutely great. Very well-made. EDIT: Oh, and the Pixie, Castaway and Peasant from the previous series as well. All those above would be great for my collection. The rest are also impressive designs, but won't fit into what I collect. But impressive work overall, as usual. Edited April 8, 2017 by Hive Quote

koalayummies Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 I've said it before but I love your CMF ideas and renderings. How come TLG doesn't have you on contract as a Minifigure designer. Such strong ideas and beautiful representations. Quote
