Latest news about Lego animal moulds

[Lion King]

I do understand that nomral aniamls are extremely popular. But… I just realize something. It doesn’t look like there are any fantasy or prehistoric creatures as accessory in non-licensed CMF series. I won’t count fantasy character, such as Medusa, Minotaur, Yeti, Boogeyman since they are minifigures not accessories. 

We know there are baby dragon and brain-dog in D&D. We know there are phonei and nifflet in Harry Potter series we know there is a baby ratpor in TLM2 series (it’s technically a licensed, rather thaan -house). 

Robot dog and space penguin from Series 26 are more sci-fi than fantasy or prehistoric. A mushroom piece in Series 22 is not really a single-molded piece. 

I think it would be cool to have unicorn foal, baby troll, dark phoenix, ghost cat, saber-toothed tiger cub, baby Pteranodon, baby woolly mammoth etc etc….

The fantasy animal I'd like to get the most in a CMF would be cerberus

That would be an excellent idea if they do a three-headed puppy or mid-sized verison. :)

One of the Icons sets will apparently be a dachshund, probably not with a small mould, but you newer know

I probably have to buy that set since I have 2 for the breed

YES please to all of your ideas. These would ALL be must haves, especially a baby wholly mammoth.

Indeed. Bagsy a white cow with brown spots please. Or a new Highland cow would be fine …

That would be great.  If we got tan, brown or black sheep that would be great too.

We need a bull instead of a cow

How would you distinguish them?

[Wolfman_Bricks]

Could be similar to the horse so it could buck on its back legs

The existing cow has udders. He’s asking for bull balls

Just one udder, surely?

I see people referring to "a cow's udders" from time to time and I wonder how people got the impression that it was plural.

I would say take the udder away and you have a Bull

I honestly had to go look that up. I *think* in general usage here in Scotland, it’s pretty normal to pluralise it, though I have to say, it’s not an area of expertise for me.

I….don’t think i would want to see bull balls in Lego form.

I don't know what you are saying Bulls don't have udders female cattle do not males.

Yeah… I think they’d be better off taking the udder out, not replacing it with anything new down there, and printing a ring on the nose. But all that effort would still need to be precipitated by a situation that specifically needed a bull instead of a cow, and I can’t think of too many situations like that in Lego form. Maybe if they ever did a covered wagon type set they’d do oxen to pull it (which would be indistinguishable from a bull in lego form). 
 

On an unrelated topic, isn’t the start of the month when Bricks and Pieces adds new parts? And shouldn’t this month’s batch be from the June sets? That means we should see the new jungle animals available at any time now right?

I keep checking but so far nothing.  They've been posting on New Elementary when LEGO notifies them that new parts will be added but so far nothing.  I've noticed when looking at PAB that they seem to have once again given a bunch of existing parts new part numbers but most of them are currently showing as out of stock.
