1980-Something-Space-Guy Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 It's too bad that Lego can't (or won't, I don't really know) reveal the list as early as we'd like to. Here's hoping that the list will be revealed within a couple of months, or even better, pics. Anyways, thanks for the clues, Itaria! Quote
Cagast Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 Yes, nobody ever called you a liar or doubted you, but thanks for keeping the game alive. For people above, he is Italian, but it's probably not Italian language. 13 hours ago, Itaria No Shintaku said: Here it is: I only put the first letters of every word, but not in english. Just in another language using google translate. Why would he need google translate for his own language? Quote

That's right... he wouldn't use Google translate for Italian so I am thinking the language he used to translate is either Spanish or Portuguese. Quote

Cagast Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 That's true, but really they look nearly identical. Quote
Roebuck Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 delta.customs has posted some kind of corn fig on instagram, s17 maybe?! Quote
Robert8 Posted January 8, 2017 Author Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) Corn Cob Suit Guy! So that's the food costume... And now we are up to 5 minifigures 1. Corn Cob Suit Guy 2. Butterfly Girl 3. Circus Strongman 4. Battle Dwarf 5. Hot Dog Vendor Edited January 8, 2017 by Robert8 Quote
K_Tiger Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 The suit/mascot figures just get better and better. Corn Cob Suit Guy should inspire some epic roasted corn truck/trailer MOCs. Quote
1980-Something-Space-Guy Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 According to Google translate, corn cob is pannocchia in Italian. So, Itaria's TiCdP would be Tipo in Costume da Pannocchia. This to me confirms both the figure and the fact that Itaria gave the initials from Italian. Quote
Cagast Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Nobody saw it coming, but it's a good idea. I like how it looks, and hopefully the green head is only placeholder. Quote
telaruhn Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 It's a extremely well-crafted mold, and the most intricate food costume thus far! It looks like it's molded out of two colors of plastic. This is turning out to be a great series, unsurprisingly. Can't wait to see what else is in store. Quote

The term "somewhat" makes me wonder... It's like it's not directly involved with animals like a veterinarian is. How about a hunter ? It evokes a certain involvement with animals IF he ever catches one... cacciatore ? In italian Edited January 8, 2017 by Hippocampe Quote
Borex Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) Ow that corn cob guy looks great!!! (Even if it's unfinished) Edited January 8, 2017 by Borex Quote
BrickFit26 Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 The Corn on the Cob costume looks great. Looking forward to seeing more. Quote
makoy Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 The corn cob costume is so.... corny. someone has to say it. There are hints in the jungle subtheme that there could be a tiger or new wild animal mould. Maybe we'll get the same in S17, just with a different print or colour? Quote
x105Black Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 That Corn Cob Guy is better than I would have expected, based on the name alone. Quote

zoth33 Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 The corn cob guy sounds fun. Could 15 be a god type being? It will be interesting to find out. I like the sound of the dwarf figure as I like fantasy and castle figures the most. The circus strongman could be usefull too. Can't wait to find out the rest. Quote
JGuy Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 Hey there! This is my first post on eurobricks, I've read a long time without posting anything, but here I am now! So I was thinking about Itaria's quote "But stay hungry, stay foolish. Castle... fantasy... TLG is not planning a castle theme this year and there is only one unthemed minifigure series..." I looked up what "Royal Jester" was in Italian, and lo and behold it is "giullare reale", corresponding to the GR on the list. I know we got one in Series 12, but Itaria did say there were 1-3 rehashes.. Quote

lifeinplastic Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) OK, so we're still unsure which language it definitely is but nobody has suggested anything better than Italian, which fits in with the corn suit guy so I've thought about some further translation options for the remaining figures... 1. V - a few options here Violinista/Veterinario/Ventriloquo/Vichingo/Vagabondo/Vampiro/Vacanziere/Vasaio (Violinist, Vet, Ventriloquist, Viking, Tramp, Vampire, Holiday-Maker, Potter...) 2. EF - Could this be Elfo Favola (Fairytale Elf) or Elfo Femmina (Female Elf)? 3. H - a tough one as not many words beginning with H in Italian. My best options were Hippy or Hawaiano (Hippy or Hawaiian). However, the picture in the catalogue still looks like a Highwayman so although Google Translate suggests a Highwayman is a Bandito, it may be a specifically English term with no real translation. Likewise, is there a real translation for 'Hipster' other than the Google option 'Fricchetone'? 4. C - Too many options here so take your pick...Centauro (Centaur), Conduttore (Conductor), Cantante (Singer), Chitarrista (Guitar Player), Cornista (Horn Player), Cavaliere (Knight), Cuocere/Capocuoco (Cook/Chef), Clown (Clown), Cameriera (Maid), Ciclista (Cyclist), Cowboy/Cowgirl (Cowboy/Cowgirl) or Chirugo (Surgeon) 5. A (C) - several option for 'A' too (see No 7 below). The C in brackets is strange so may indicate there is also a different translation. My best guess is Astronauta/Cosmonauta (Astronaut/Cosmonaut) - essentially the same thing and the earlier clues suggested there would be something that is not always on Planet Earth. "Alieno (Cthulu)" would also fit the description but we have recently had a Cthulu. There was also a clue about a figure being specifically from one nationality - perhaps Itaria used brackets to represent an animal separate from the figure so A (C) could be Australiano (Canguro) or Australian (Kangaroo). 6. GR - didn't we earlier establish the possibility of a Gladiator making a reappearance as a result of the original clues - in which case GR could be Gladiatore Romano (Roman Gladiator) or possibly Guerriero Romano (Roman Warrior). Another option could be Genio Rosso (Red Genie). 7. AR - not sure about this one as I cannot think what the R could be yet. Favourite options beginning with A include Apicoltore (Beekeeper), Attore/Attrice (Actor/Actress), Arbitro (Referee), Atleta (Athlete), Aviatore (Aviator), Avvocato (Lawyer - although not likely as a bit of a dull figure), Angelo (Angel) and Azteco (Aztec). 8. TiCdR - As mentioned before this could be Tipo in Costume da Rana (Guy in Frog Costume) or possibly Rinoceronte (Rhino) 9. Y - very few options here as not many Italian words beginning with a 'Y' - cannot think of much other than a yeti, although this would be a repeat - possibly a female yeti although there are no other letters suggesting this is called 'Lady' Yeti. The other option is a Yo-Yo guy (relating to Itaria's comments about making the 80s great again) 10. S - again lots of options here - perhaps Sposo (Groom), Stregone (a Sorcerer, Warlock or Shaman), Sacerdote (Priest - albeit unlikely), Scheletro (Skeleton - a bit dull), Skydiver (uninteresting repeat), Supereroe (Super Hero), Scultore (Sculptor) and Spazzacamino (Chimney Sweep) 11. IdD - Insegnante/Instruttore di Danza (dance teacher/instructor). Otherwise the 'I' could also be for Infermiera (Nurse), Ingegnere (Engineer) or Inventore (Inventor) 12. TiCdP - I think this has to be Tipo in Costume da Pannocchia (Guy in Corn Cob Costume) Edited January 9, 2017 by lifeinplastic Quote

Maybe we'll get the same in S17, just with a different print or colour? It was spoken of a big animal - namely some type of big wild cat. And in CMF series there are always only small animals. So imo definately no. Quote

If I had to build off of your list I would choose: 1. This one's hard but I would go with Viking, corresponding to #12 on the hints (not sure why Itaria said "character" instead of "guy" or "girl" here) 2. Female Elf. Probably. Never been done before, relates to Itaria's emphasis on fantasy minifigs, and corresponds to hint #6. 3. Either Hawaiian or Highwayman, but I'm leaning towards Hawaiian because of hint #10. 4. Chef. I mean it lines up with hint #3. 5. Err, probably cosmologist/astronaut. Maybe someone who studies the stars? Comes with a new telescope? 6. They're all viable. 7. Not sure if the options are even right here, cause in Italian the adjective can come before or after the noun (although there are significantly less that come before) 8. Eh, I'd go with rhino costume. 9. Yo-yo Guy sounds right. Not sure though. 10. Skydiver? Maybe a pun on hint 13? Oh, I don't know 11. Hmmm... Dance instructor sounds interesting and I think it's hint 11 because of the fitness instructor in series 5 and the ballerina in series 15. 12. Basically already confirmed to be Corn Suit Guy :P Itaria wanna confirm anything? Edited January 9, 2017 by JGuy Quote
