I'm guessing minidolls like the Frozen set although I hope not. I'd love to see a minifigure set including King Triton and all his seven daughters. Someone earlier said it is listed under the minidolls line. If this is wrong and it turns out to be a minifig set, then I will buy it. I think we can use and customize the Ocean King from an earlier CMF into King Triton.

The Little Mermaid is my favorite movie, but it's going to be hard to justify purchasing the palace set if they give us minidolls instead. Also after the Peter Pan storybook set debacle, I wonder if there's not a chance the set is based on the remake instead of the original movie. BTW do you know if the new Peter Pan set with Wendy and Tinker Bell was also confirmed to be minifigures or minidolls? You're right that King Triton is easy enough to customize. This video also shows how to make a custom King Triton.
Surge Posted April 8, 2023 Posted April 8, 2023 new little mermaid storybook based on the new movie, i feel it is now less likely the big set will be based on the new movie if it is minidolls and based on the original i feel that would be odd bc afaik their is one still on shelfs now so fingers crossed it is minifigure based
doclord Posted April 8, 2023 Posted April 8, 2023 Ariel isn't in the big microdoll set so I would say there's a slight chance the clam is microdolls. But Agrabah is minifig so who knows?
JeanGreyForever Posted April 8, 2023 Posted April 8, 2023 The Agrabah set though is more in the vein of the mini Disney Castle and Haunted Mansion sets. The Little Mermaid set seems to be more like the Frozen D2C set which was minidolls.

However, I could see why Disney would make it with minidolls as they have made that Ice Castle, and the two mentioned above fit perfectly well in that series. Not gonna buy any, if indeed minidolls.

Just to clarify, the Agrabah set isn't going to be a full-scale palace like the Mermaid or Frozen palaces. It's supposed to be like the mini Disney Castle that came with the vintage Mickey minifigure or the mini Haunted Mansion. So the Agrabah one is more than likely going to feature a minifigure, not a minidoll.

So the guessing game is on, as to which minifig is gonna feature there!!! I really would not mind if Lego kept producing a lot more of these micro builds with an exclusive minifig - they could possibly be displayed in a lineup just like a Disney skyline!!! Definitely going to get this then, whichever minifig they decide to include.

I would prefer a full-scale Agrabah palace but perhaps we'll get that in the future one day, especially since we still don't have a full-scale Haunted Mansion and that's heavily requested. I also wouldn't mind getting more of these micro builds if this is the only way to get some of the classic castles and palaces from the movies. Maybe the Snow White castle could get us a minifigure of her prince if he doesn't show up in the cottage set (and there are technically two castles in Snow White so either one could work for him). For Agrabah, my best guess is Aladdin as Prince Ali. If not him then Jasmine in one of her other dresses or the Sultan.
Jarreth2 Posted April 8, 2023 Posted April 8, 2023 If the minifigure with the Agrabah Palace is Prince Ali do you think they’ll use the mould of Jafar’s hat piece just recolour it ?
stroud1492 Posted April 8, 2023 Posted April 8, 2023 43213 little mermaid storybook set has leaked. Based on the live action remake!
Jarreth2 Posted April 8, 2023 Posted April 8, 2023 @stroud1492 notice how Sebastian is now just a regular crab accessory recoloured red ? 😂 I can’t see Flounder anywhere .. I don't like micro dolls in the slightest, but it’s cool for those that do I guess .. just need a leak of The Little Mermaid Triton’s Palace now and praying it’s not minidolls 🙏🏼

I wouldn’t mind a set with mini dolls for it though
Surge Posted April 8, 2023 Posted April 8, 2023 im gonna guess that prince ali will be with the palace, but im hoping that it is a new character like the sultan

My fear is that Disney will greatly slow down on producing sets with minifigs in favor of the minidolls line after the 100th celebrations... I am going to throw a fit if that Snow White cottage is not made, or even made as a minidoll set! 1 hour ago, Surge said: im gonna guess that prince ali will be with the palace, but im hoping that it is a new character like the sultan Maybe the sultan, because he has few chances of being included in some other set/ series???
doclord Posted April 9, 2023 Posted April 9, 2023 (edited) Prince Ali and Purple Jasmine might appear in the new Disney Castle, as it features "princes and princesses". That could leave the Sultan or a Genie variant for the palace (with legs maybe?) Edited April 9, 2023 by doclord
Jarreth2 Posted April 9, 2023 Posted April 9, 2023 (edited) Just trawling Instagram and saw a post from a while ago about the rumoured Ariel’s Palace .. noticed the release date is May 1st .. only three weeks away .. hopefully we’ll see something soon ?? Edited April 9, 2023 by Jarreth2

hikouki Posted April 9, 2023 Posted April 9, 2023 If they cannot manage to give us a full blown Sleeping Beauty Castle, they could at least make it in micro scale form and give us Briar Rose... It would be nice to have these micro scales lined up in a skyline and with their corresponding CMFs on display with them!

Briar Rose/Aurora is in the latest CMF series, so maybe a minifig Prince Philip would make sense for a micro scale castle? (Assuming he's not among the many Princes and Princesses rumoured for the bigger set we're allegedly getting?)

(Assuming he's not among the many Princes and Princesses rumoured for the bigger set we're allegedly getting?) That's Aurora in her pink dress though. And not a very movie accurate version anyway since it's got gold accents, gold glitter, and a new design for her back torso. A microscale Sleeping Beauty castle (and I'd be very curious to see if they use the movie version or the Disneyland version) could feature Aurora in a different look, either in her blue dress or her as Briar Rose. Prince Phillip is included in the Maleficent dragon set if that ever does become an official set and not just a planned one. Personally I do think we will get it and the Snow White cottage set because the CMF series seemed design to complement these sets by including the popular characters who wouldn't really fit in the sets. Aurora doesn't feature in the battle against Maleficent and the Evil Queen is only at the cottage in her witch form. If there's no actual Snow White set, it would be bizarre that they didn't include Snow White in the CMF series especially when they did include the Evil Queen. However, Prince Phillip has two looks in his movies. His forest outfit with red hat and cape and then his formal ballroom outfit from the end of the film when Aurora's return is announced and the couple dances. Since the Maleficent set is using his forest outfit, they could include Phillip in a Sleeping Beauty microscale castle set in his formal ballroom outfit by the end. Another option would be to use the forest outfit but include his red hat since he doesn't wear it in the battle against Maleficent.

JeanGreyForever Posted April 9, 2023 Posted April 9, 2023 For the Agrabah set, I'm very curious if besides a minifigure, they might also include one of the animal companions. Like an Abu or Iago. Lego is much better now about including the animal sidekicks than before and both were snubbed for the first two Disney CMF waves.

Is there an existing monkey mould that can be used for this? I feel like Lego will either re-use existing minidoll line moulds or vice versa. So far, I don't mind. Little Mermaid and Moana companions seem to work.
