Some great minifigures .. glad Cruella seems to be light tan rather than the yellow leak the other day. Tiana, Aurora and Pocahontas are brilliant .. so I think we’re only missing Snow White and Cinderella from the main Princess Lineup now ? .. Prince John and Robin Hood .. the heads look a little big, but never mind. Looking forward to these 😍

Never been one to defend moulded heads (to this day I still maintain the Simpsons minifigures should've used regular heads) but Pinocchio is literally a character defined by his nose

It was really weird that special Lego episode did use normal heads, unlike the actual sets and cmfs

Yeah, he looks one stud shorter, though you're right it could just be perspective.

We're still missing Belle. Hopefully they flesh out all the princess characters this year.

I feel mixed about this series. I still dislike how Mickey and friends look, they work fine for park mascots, but I don't particularly want these as park mascots. Baymax also feels like filler to me, it's a very phoned in design. Robin Hood and Prince John look great, I just don't care for the movie that much. Pinocchio's nose is weird, but the design is good overall.

Love the new cmf, the Up minifigures and moana from the train. Amazing detail and good character selection. Would love Snow White and 7 dwarves this year and I think I will consider 2023 a very successful Disney minifigure year.

Just you.

Both of them use mid-legs.

She's not, it's a colour distortion. 

The leaked image in higher quality has the correct colours — yellow, not light tan.

Ooooh, didn't expect this. Let's see.

Oswald looks great, couldn't have been done much better, would've prefered mid legs as with Mickey, but I'll take it.

Pinocchio looks kinda odd, I'm happy with the new face mold, but the nose is a bit too smal for my taste, the eyes are also odd. It's like a mix between a traditional figure and specialised mold. I think it would’ve been better if they went all the way specialised or regular. Cleo is great though. Hopefully we'll get Figaro in a Minnie Mouse set someday.

Jiminy Cricket, great figure, hat might be new, I'm not sure. Wouldn't have done it any different myself.

Sorcerer Mickey, absolutely perfect 10/10

Tiana is half half, the figure looks good, but the dress has the wrong shape, but that's fine. But reusing the tiara piece is kinda cheap. And the frog especially is pretty bad.

Dr. Facilier looks great, love all the printing he has. The cane is a bit hard to make out.

Queen of Hearts, pretty much flawless, but that face looks so odd, it's accurate, but odd.

Aurora looks very nice, but has the same tiara issue as Tiana. The owl is a bit disappointing reusing the same mold, I prefer the minidoll look, but as a new owl print it's always welcome.

Mulan looks great, I was kinda hoping for her warrior outift, but this looks just as good.

Don't really know anything about Coco besides the viral meme with the cats texting the song, but from what I can tell they look pretty good, especially the dog is pretty funny.

Pocahontas looks absolutely adorable. Her hair flowing in between all the colours of the wind ;). Definitely one of my favourite figures from the series.

Cruella, looks definitely better with the smile, also slightly better with the cloth piece. Even has the purse. Might still add one of the fur pieces myself, not sure yet.

Robin Hood and Prince John are pretty much exactly what I was expecting and hoping for, so 10/10.

Stitch still looks good, although sadly ofcourse he doesn’t have the antennas. Also the guns are a bit disappointing as reused molds, but that was to be expected.

Baymax is the worst figure this series imo and the only one I dislike. I was kinda hoping he would be in his armor, but this would've been fine too. But it doesn't translate too well into a figure. He doesn't look big, nor cuddely. The arms are kinda nice, but they look odd in comparison to the boddy. I kinda wanna see someone put the Nesquik head on the body though xD.

The Evil Queen looks so much better now with the cape, the mirror looks perfect as well.

All with all a great series with a few flaws, but only minor ones. Definitely one of my favourite series.

Love the new Disney CMF. The only figure that looks particularly off to me is Baymax. He just does not work. As with the previous two Disney series, I’m very impressed with the level of detailing all around and something I think this series does better is give us a lot of accessories. A big problem with Disney Series One especially was that they mostly sold those figures on the characters themselves and did little in the way of providing accessories to go with them. (Series One is probably still my favorite of the three though.) I’d say my thoughts on the character inclusions and exclusions are still the same as when we got the list, but all of the figures (except for Baymax) look so excellent that I don’t even mind.

As someone who didn’t have a problem with Mickey and friends having normal legs, seeing how tall that Oswald figure is making me reconsider my stance on that. He’s probably my favorite of the series because I just really like that character and I think he generally looks spot-on, but he is still wayyy too tall.

Overall though, I adore this series and can’t wait to start collecting these in May. Hopefully they’ll be easier to find than Series 24 though, which I’ve only found at two stores in the two months that series has been out.


Also, that Up house is a phenomenal set. The only thing that could’ve made it better is if they did a brick-built Kevin but as it stands, this is definitely something I’ll pick up over the summer.

Agreed. I had been using the mini doll version as Owl for my Winnie the Pooh set so probably swap the mini doll to Aurora and have her owl join the 100acre wood gang.

I think it does a really god job of showing the variety of Disney projects, works really well for 100 Years of Wonder.

Agreed. We've got the pre-feature era (Oswald), Golden Age (Evil Queen, Pinocchio & Jiminy, Sorcerer Mickey), Silver Age (Queen of Hearts, Aurora, Cruella), and post-Walt Dark Age (Robin Hood & Prince John). The Disney Renaissance is already well-represented, but we got some of the often ignored characters (Pocahontas, Mulan). Then the post-Renaissance is represented (Stitch, Tiana, Dr. Facilier, Baymax), and Pixar is thankfully limited to two (Miguel & de la Cruz). A very good spread overall, and it's also nice to see that they seem to have broken out of the insistence upon "pairing off" characters. It's harder to get a proper mix when each title represented must take up two or more slots.

@THELEGOBATMAN .. I’m not sure it is yellow .. when you look at the bag image and think some of the parts that look yellow on there .. Pinocchio’s torso and the tops of his arms, Jiminy’s cravat, Robin Hood’s hat .. Cruella just seems to be more likened to light tan .. I’m hoping it’ll not be yellow anyway, not very movie accurate for me. 👍🏼

The leaked figure is yellow, so there's that.

It's yellow, trust me.

Is that a thing? What movies are also in that Dark Age because i really liked Robin Hood (i always wanted to be that small stupid vulture with its crossbow for some reason x-D)

Yep. Disney wasn't doing so well for many years after Walt died. The live action films sucked badly for the most part (watch the last two original Herbie films, for example) and animation also had issues. The Renaissance started in the mid-to-late '80s with Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid.

Personally, I also like Robin Hood, alongside Aristocats (we almost got a sequel to this one!) and the Great Mouse Detective, among others.

Woah, i just read that Jungle Book is also dark ages. Weird. Such a great movie with great characters and songs. 
And if they are going to make figs of the Black Cauldron i’ll be a happy buyer as well
