Seasonal Parts and Minifigs We Need!

Minifigs: With all the bunny-costumed minifigs in existence, there's no actual anthropomorphic Easter Bunny. Seems like a pretty big oversight.

Vidiyo had 2 bunny figures, a recolor could be used if LEGO doesn't want to do another mould.

St. Patrick's Day:

Imported to the U.S. by Irish immigrants and by all accounts a bigger deal in the U.S. than Ireland these days. It still has a lot of fun imagery though.

Minifigs: We have a Leprechaun, so how about a lady leprechaun to go with him? Not at all accurate to the folklore, but a fun concept. St. Patrick himself is definitely too steeped in religion for TLG, but some of the skirt pieces lend themselves very well to Irish step-dancing performers.

Also a red leprechaun, considering leprechauns were originally red and they got changed to green

A red leprechaun would not be very in tune with St.Patrick's Day. An orange leprechaun, on the other hand...

For St. Patrick’s Day, how about a minifigure with a head that would be printed with a small green shamrock next to a smiling mouth? Usually, we have seen some people painted shamrocks on their faces at festivals. 

Maybe we would need a new mold for shammoack (4-leaf clover) so a minifigure could hold it by a stalk? And more green balloons!

Stereotpcially, Americans tend to go to pubs during St. Patrick’s Day. TLG would say “no-no” to beers but what about a band performing music in pub?!

Yeah but they would need to recolor that red hair on Vidiyo bunny dancer’s head mold so it wold be purely white for Easter bunny. 

[Lion King]

I think a Birthday Clown’s hat from Series 18 would be recolored in emerald color with a bright green shamrock printed on it! More festive for St. Patrick’s Day parade. 

[Lion King]

For Easter, I think it’s time for TLG to make a new egg mold (not an oversized egg like one from Jurassic World or a white Bioncile eye). Also this egg mold should be a printed round 1x1 tile too. I think egg mold would come in different colors (bright red, yellow, lime green, deep blue, lavender).

and some new basket piece that can hold egg molds. 

And WE NEED AN EASTER BUNNY MINIFIGURE, NOT A COSTUME ONE! Ahem, excuse me for my tone. Of course, we do have Vidiyo bunny dancer but seriously, it has orange tuff of hair…. And we have Bugs Bunny and Rabbit (from Pooh the Winnie set) minifigures too. 

And we need yellow chick mold. A rubber duck mold is NOT counted because it’s very rounded.

[Lion King]

Oh yeah. And we need a new rabbit mold with ears down either side of its face!

Y'know, I wonder if Lego might do anything else for LGBT Pride month this year? Last year the Everyone is Awesome set was the first externally-facing celebration of Pride Lego had done, and it seemed to be fairly successful. It'd be cool if this summer when there aren't many major holidays Lego at least added something cute like a rainbow heart shirt (or similar sort of wholesome celebration) to the Build-a-Mini station.

A rainbow-heart shirt may not enough. What about two Mars symbols shirt while two Venus symbols? Or a rainbow balloon? Or a rainbow-printed pants? Of course, paint balloons and pants sound impossible for TLG to do so but I think they would look cool.

It’s interesting that Kermit in the Muppets CMF is bringing us a new, more colour correct, rainbow tile …

Good point!  I think tht tile is a great start. 

[Karalora]

Bringing this back in light of the Series 23 CMFs, which fills quite a few of my requests for Christmas, including the Snowman, Nutcracker, Sugar Plum Fairy, and candy cane accessory, plus a few I didn't specifically ask for! We're also getting a man in a turkey costume for Thanksgiving, and the recent farm sets have introduced a corn-on-the-cob piece.

Great job, TLG! Keep 'em coming!

[Robert8]

Series 23 is almost tailor-made for you @Karalora

I wonder if Series 24 will have more seasonals/holidays minifigures!

ngl, seeing the amount of grousing about it does have me slightly going "hee hee hee, more for me then!"

[Karalora]

After reviewing the thread, I would like to note that we now have lambs for potential Easter MOCs (and sheep for Nativity scenes, if you're into that). The deer has indeed become easier to get hold of thanks to the new Santa's Sleigh.

It's almost Independence Day here in the States, so I'll indulge in some pure national fantasies that TLG is under NO OBLIGATION to serve:

Minifigs: Uncle Sam of course ( @Robert8's Mr. Stars and Stripes nails the look...of course every depiction of Uncle Sam nails the look, there's only one look), and it would be nice to have a Colonial-era woman in a period gown and mob cap to play Betsy Ross and/or be the counterpart to the Revolutionary Soldier.

We're pretty good on all-American animals (bald eagle) and food (hot dogs, pizza, etc.), so I'll skip those categories...

Misc.: A red-white-and-blue fireworks tube! It's obviously possible to build one out of simple parts, but I'd like a stars-and-stripes print to really drive the point home. Or maybe a small stick with a burst of a transparent color on top: a sparkler!

We do need a minifig scaled LIVE turkey too.

As for food, we do need burger (a new mold for bun) but we won’t worry about a meat part - it can be used as 2x2 round plate. Who skips burgers for Indepedence Day?!

I support this. 

[Lion King]

OKay, the fall is almost here! It means…H A L L O W E E E N !

Ok, here are the ideas. 

We do need corn cogs to be re-colored in tan, black, brown and yellow! So it would be cool to have these new colors for the small corn maze.

we will need a new, BIG pumpkin with attacheable vines. Not just a standard-sized pumpkin.

if TLG would do a new line that is more like Winter Village but it’s Halloween Village (or Spooky Neighborhood, @Karalora suggested), I would love to see a slightly large white cloth. So we can put a black minifigure head inside the cloth then hang it up in a buildable tree. It would look like a decorative ghost.  I’m not good at describing that process tho…

More designs for trick-or-treater bags. Not just a smiley jack-o-later print. What about a ghost lay face printed on a bag? Or a green Frankenstein’s monster face?

 

I think it’s time for TLG to make a new design for spider web. I mean, the standard spider web is….well, too common and boring. Can’t they make a new spider web for a ceiling corner? Like 60 degree angle. I’m not very good at math as my memories don’t serve me right. 

I think scarecrow minifigure with a spreading arms (just like bat boy from BAM) will do great for a Halloween tractor tour!

Oh yeah…and a bat does need a NEW mold as we have a new spider mold already. 

[Karalora]

With all the fantastic spooky minifigs TLG has given us over the years, there are still a few key players we're missing. I've got a long wishlist, but my top picks in this category would be:

• Monster Bride (of Frankenstein)
• Grim Reaper--easy to kitbash with existing parts, but I would like a unique version also.
• Ghost Bride
• Monstrous Vampire (think Count Orlok)
• Lady Vampire--the one in Monster Fighters is okay, but the glow-in-the-dark face is so gimmicky. The Spider Lady is too specific a concept; I want something more like Lily Munster--the look, not necessarily the personality. Let vampires be evil!
• Evil Scarecrow
• Good Witch

I'd like to see some more color variations on both the standard pumpkin and the jack-o-lantern head cover, to reflect the natural variety in real pumpkins. And while we're at it, how about a friendlier face on the jack-o-lantern? Not all pumpkin-headed Halloween mascots are sinister! For that matter, more unique faces on the jack-o-lantern minifig heads would always be welcome.

[Lion King]

@Karalora, agreed with you on the rekindle jack-o-lantern head. We know TLG has been reusing that wicked jack-o-lantern head since Scooby Doo theme. So i think it’s a time or new facial expressions for that jack-o-lathern.

1.) Happy verison - with traniular eye and one-toohy grin

2.) Scared verison - with round eyes with oval mouth 

3.) Good and Bad verision - with one wicked-looking eye and another innocent-looking one, a grin (combination of sharp teeth on its side while one-toothed on other side of the mouth, think about Two-Face from Batman)

4.) Silly verison - two upward “crescent” eyes, a big smile as to laugh 

Now, I think one trick-or-treater may need a costume….A PUMPKIN COSTUME! How? A kid don’t have to wear over their toros if their arms’ mover EnT would be blocked. A hollowed-out pumpkin will be attached right between torso and legs!

And I would Ike to ee antoher monster series in CMF!

100% agreed.we need another Monste series. More interesing and new parts!

[Lion King]

Thanksgiving:

We will need a living Turkey old,  a cornucopia, a pilgrim minifigure 9both male and female).

Christmas:

we will need a pearl gold angel nanofigure for a Christmas topper. A silver or trans parent (proper) star for a Christmas topper. i don’t understand why there was a diamond piece in Santa’s Visit - it’s kinda odd to see that - I wish they would introduce a proper angel or star topper. 

Also we need proper oranment pieces. Don’t get me ring but i’m so tired of boring studs as oranments…. Lastly, I think we would need a new ribbon+bow piece for presents. Again, I’m tired of a flower stud…
