Ideas for CMFs

[Darth Shadowthrone]

Ooh I love the idea of a Mothman figure! I haven't looked through the other series for a while, what other Cryptids are there?

There was a Chupacabra at one point.

Ah cool. Another great one to see would be a Wendigo, they've got a really distinctive design. 

[Eggyslav]

A Jersey Devil would be cool as well!

[Karalora]

My cryptid of choice is Mothman's next-door neighbor, Flatwoods.

[Robert8]

Among the cryptids, I think Mothman and Nessie are the ones I like the most. 

Wendigo is something I'd like to try

As Karalora said, I made the Chupacabras for Series Q. I also made Loch Monster Guy for Series Ñ

I was actually looking through your Instagram earlier with my brother and saw the Loch Ness monster suit, I thought that was the funniest animal suit I've seen so far and one I would definitely get. My brother couldn't believe how many series you've made! 

I love reading old stories about Cryptids so it's great to see you've been including them in your designs. It's frustrating to me that Lego seems to have run out of mythical creatures they want to include, though I suppose you could count the Monkey King last year and we'll almost definitely get a centaur next year.

Why no, I've actually never heard of her or her work up until you'd mentioned it...  ...I've just had a casual fascination in Cryptozoology since I was around 10 alongside my general interests in Archaeology and Paleontology.

Although they're not Cryptids, it'd be cool to see Lego attempt their own takes on Lovecraft's Cthulhu or a generic Kaiju that's not a guy in a rubber suit.

I can't believe it myself 

When I started I thought about making like 10 series max. 

But here we are now... Series S will be my 21th series 

[Robert8]

 

 

Wouldn't be hilarious if Series S was just a big April Fool's joke and I actually never made it???

Well it isn't cause here it is!

 

 

NOTE. I'm playing to be The LEGO Group here, so I'm taking the new pieces from Series A to R as already introduced pieces.

Thanks for looking 

 

NOTE: I feel like this is a good stopping point for now. I've posted everything I had and I need time to work on more and I honestly like TLG is doing.... whatever with the regular series. I want to see where they go from here but I don't like the direction they are taking. That much I can say for sure.

On a brighter note I want to say that after posting 21th series here I still feel as excited as the first day, when I posted Series A almost 4 years ago and I can't wait to work on the remaining series I've planned. We are getting near to the end with only 7 regular series left, so I want to take time and make them the best I can. If everything goes right I plan to return by the end of the year with a special project and the second Advent Calendar (and then Series T in 2021)

If anyone took their time your read all of this, well thank you 

Take care, everyone

THEY SUCK!

 

 

 

Ha! pulled an April Fools Prank! These are Brilliant! I love the Redcoat, the Halfing, Vampire boy, Oceanid and Quasimodo! And the Violin girl is so cute!

[Aurore]

Oh my, they are so great! I really like the Halfling, the Folk Dancer and the Zulu Warrior. And if I had to pick one favourite, it would be the Sea Nymph! Her hair and dress are so well designed...

[Darth Shadowthrone]

Wow I love how many fantastical elements there are in this series! The sea nymph, halfling and Mothman are the highlight for me! I also love how there's two new hairpieces with pointy ears and one with horns, those are the kind of useful elements that should be introduced in a CMF and re-used elsewhere. 

[Agent Kallus]

 This just might be your best series yet, I can understand wanting to take a break though, though I'm glad it's not a permanent break. 

[lifeinplastic]

Great work again, Robert. Always grateful for you sharing your talent with us - just a pity as usual that these aren't the official Lego designs!

Love the variety here - a series that caters to every fan. My personal favourite is the violin girl, although the halfling, Rastafarian and vampire boy are the others I'd most like to see make an official Lego CMF series.

[K_Tiger]

All I'm gonna say is that these should have been series 20 (especially the Russian folk dancer), and great work as usual.

[gryffindorbrickkid]

Three things 

1. Love it

2.How do you feel about LEGO making the Centaur leg mould

3.Make a Poltergeist in Series T 

[Karalora]

Man oh man, are these terrific! Too bad it's April Fools and they're not real!

Wait...none of yours have been real regardless of the date they were posted...unless you count the few where a similar one has been produced...

DANGIT, LEGO, HIRE THIS GUY AND USE ALL HIS IDEAS!!!

I think my favorite this time around is the Sea Nymph--I love that elaborate hair and the print on her dress! The Folk Dancer has a very, very nice printed design as well.

[Digger of Bricks]

Dangit Robert, every Series of yours is an exponential upgrade from the last, and all the while Lego's have been trickling downwards in the opposite direction...  

My two standout favorites for this one have to be your Halfling and Folk Dancer, as I'm so happy to see you reuse that headdress from the Advent Calendar's Snow Maiden so soon! Also, I just love the Matryoshka doll accessory you gave her in particular! 

[miniman]

I'm in love with the Sea Nymph.

Fantastic as always!

[ToaIruini]

Great series @Robert8!
 

I love the Zulu warrior, ultra warrior, red oni, halfling, redcoat, and reggae musician. But I always enjoy seeing all of them.

The folk dancer is particularly amazing, probably my favorite this time around. It’s really the matryoshka doll that sells it though - I even put in my series for the dream cmf game played a while ago. 

The water nymph is another amazing figure, and I think it’s a perfect opportunity to take use of the gradient effects and whatnot. Also think the golden shell is perfect 

And I didn’t even notice before that the ultra warrior comes with a hair as well! That’s great, I wish the Series 20 minifigure had something like that. 

[Robert8]

Thanks everyone for the comments to my latest series

1. Well thank you

2. I love. It looks great  I hope they will release on more colors

3. Hmmm I think that might happen.... It's hard to imagen a Poltergeist considering they are invisible most of the time

Thanks. Her hair was very tricky to make. It's always hard to imagine how certain hairstyle will look as a 3D plastic piece

She was originally from a different series, but I didn't like how she turned out and didn't include it. I pretty much remade her for this series

Haha, Gotcha! No, seriously, you know I love ya bro!

[DarrellBricker]

I'm just blown away by this series, so much to love! If I could get the Sea Nymph, Vampire Boy, Mothman, Oni, Fashion Designer, Halfling and Violinist in my hot little hands now, I'd be a happy collector. And that Zulu Warrior and Bell Ringer are so awesome as well. I would get every single figure there, not a dud in sight. You never cease to amaze ... Thank you for sharing!

AND I almost forgot, that Shar Pei!!!! My favorite dog. I feel like Gollum. I wants it! I needs it! MY PRECIOUS!
