Digger of Bricks Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 Apparently they're being sold by an EBayer by the name of minifig1. Quote
Brother From Another Brick Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 I just bought the two minifigs, review will be dropping A.S.A.P! Quote
Digger of Bricks Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 The "Rainbow Bear" is sort of a homaged fusion of Fabuland and Paradisa in a way. Quote

Not really feeling the bear, but that knight is ACE. The trans blue sword is a nice touch. These are obviously shots from the pamphlet, the hype is real! Quote

I'm just not a fan of the shades they chose, and it might look better in in vibrant/more traditional colors. I admit the color of the photo is probably a bit off, though. Quote

I dunno, the varied colors and different colors for limbs reminds me not unpleasantly like plush toys such as Beanie Babies. Also, I might be wrong, but it looks like that curved rainbow tile matches the colors of the two tiles from Trafalgar Square, which should allow for some neat patterns! Quote

Heh, that too makes quite a bit of sense, especially considering that sculptor Gitte Thorsen is a collector of Teddy Bears. Quote

From what I understand she has stopped working with Lego after 35 years to open the teddy bear museum, so maybe it is a tribute to her Quote

ToaIruini Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 Where has the pic gone? I can’t seem to find it anywhere. Also if it was the leaflet, what was the color? I’m so eager to finally see some new minifigs Quote

Basil was one of my favourite figures as a kid, so I'm all for a semi revival in the CMF range. And sweet Ra this looks amazing! This is why I love the non-license/movie tie in CMF range so much! I'd say this is easily one of the best-looking figures I have seen in a VERY long time, and can't wait to get at least one for my collection. The bear also looks good and is one I'll get, but as "Warrior" and "Horror" figures (which this is a wonderful mixture of) have always been my favourite from the CMF range, it plays second fiddle for me. I can't wait to see the rest of the range. Quote

Umbra-Manis Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 Oooh, I am definitely going to be buying multiples of this bat knight! The bear does nothing for me, but I don't usually buy those kinds of figs anyway. Quote
