May 6, 20177 yr Author That's not going to happen IMO There would be no way to tell them apart if you use the feeling method Edited May 6, 20177 yr by Robert8
May 6, 20177 yr Well, we do had the DFB Figures, where you couldn't tell some of the Players apart due to the same accessory (ball) and the same hair pieces just in different colors. So Lego won't have a problem with that.

When we know blood is red. You're killing me  Ah well, if you look on this page and the previous one, I think that's pretty much all we need to know for those figures. I better stop hinting tbh.

May 7, 20177 yr Sounds like we'll be getting two brick suits then - one red and one blue, with one of each gender. Disappointing to have an all costume series though. Don't get me wrong the costumed figures are great but I think a whole series is a bit overkill. They work well as a unique figure in each series but don't have a great deal of practical purpose I feel. Particularly annoying they will replace a regular series which usually  provides enough variety for everyone.
May 7, 20177 yr I hope we can integrate the brickcostume guy/girl into actual builds. It is a bit morbid, but also very funny.Â
May 8, 20177 yr Oh, boy. Look, I get the appeal for a themed series and all, but I'm really beginning to wish this one wasn't, because Series 17 was boring to me, and I don't know if I'm going to want any of these. I guess this is my payback for my fanaticism about Series 14. Please, just introduce some new parts and full-costume minifigures I can pretend are real... I imagine this would be billed as a "Costume Party" series rather than just "Costumes".

May 8, 20177 yr Ooh, I just had a strange thought. One brick costume with studs facing forward (guy) and one brick costume with studs facing back (lady), and that both costumes connect. That may be going too far, but it's what popped into my head.
May 8, 20177 yr Even if there ends up being 2 genders with the same costume, the bump code on the package should be different for each gender. Open one, see which gender you have, then check to see if the bump code is different on the next one you feel. If it is, then you've got the other gender. If it is the same, move on to the next bag. - MJ

Also, I expect the artwork for this series will be party-themed overall, like with confetti and such I'm not a fan of themed series either, but I expect this series to have a lot of innovations, like Hot Dog Guy, Skeleton Guy, Gorilla Suit guy and Rocket Boy were at their time

I hope the end product is charming and not over the top...

The printed skeleton on torso and legs make up the costume. So, do you think we'll get some costumes done the same way?Â
May 8, 20177 yr Yeah, I imagine a whole series of tacky huge suit pieces is very unlikely. I expect a couple "tail/wings-and/or-mask" versions, and if they can manage it, perhaps some with no special costume parts at all, but clearly costumey printing
May 8, 20177 yr The more I hear about this concept, the less interesting it becomes. Wish we could just have a regular series.Â
