I don't mid her. She can mingle with the other Forest persons. LOL Oni (Japanese demon or demon-god) Kyudoka (master archer) Itamae (ramen chef) Japanese man wearing a yukata, perhaps wearing a moulded geta Doubt Lego will touch this but, perhaps a gosu-rori Ultraman Sailormoon We did get Oni in Ninjago but I know your going for a more historical version.

Yup, that ninjago version would be a joke! A challenge for Lego: make a bunraku puppeteer with his puppet! LOL Quote
Lion King Posted November 14, 2023 Posted November 14, 2023 I feel Flower Pot is more like a costumed figure… Acorn Guy doesn’t look like he is in a costume. And Mushroom Girl is perfect companion for him. So I rule out Flower Pot. Quote
FinlayTheFaithful Posted November 15, 2023 Posted November 15, 2023 (edited) What about more variety in firearm pieces? Even if Lego refuses to make modern day guns as accessories, They can always come up with stylized blasters as alternatives. A shotgun would probably be an exception as everybody and their mom knows what one is, even if they have little info about guns Edited November 15, 2023 by FinlayTheFaithful Quote

Lego’s policy on including firearms in sets has nothing to do with kids’ preexisting knowledge of them and entirely to do with not wanting to normalize the idea that real life guns can be playthings in any form. I get that it’s not as big a deal in Europe where getting common sense gun laws passed is fairly easy, but in the US our gun safety laws are so lax and poorly enforced that the number of casualties we see from children getting ahold of improperly stored firearms is truly horrific. I know the difference between a tiny plastic toy and a real gun seems obvious to an adult, but it isn’t for all children so I understand Lego being very strictly cautious on the issue. Best to pin any future hopes on futuristic blasters and historical firearms - frankly I personally think that latter category has more interesting prospects than anything contemporary anyway. Quote

A shotgun would probably be an exception as everybody and their mom knows what one is, even if they have little info about guns Swords are not in use in our time but guns are in use. It could make sense why Lego make a lot of new sword variants but not go for modernizing gun molds. Swords are either historical, sci-fi (see Star Wars) or fantasy while guns are more historical. Swords are still concerned as a form of violence tho. And I agree with Accio Lego on guns. But I would loe to see futuristic weapons tho. Quote

Have to agree, Flowerpot Girl is in the same league as corn guy, chili girl, etc. Perhaps the butterfly girl might qualify as a magical creature, but not the Flowerpot girl. 1 hour ago, Wolfman_Bricks said: Snowflake sprite Not a bad idea! What could be for Spring then? Quote
Lion King Posted November 16, 2023 Posted November 16, 2023 How about Flower Fairy with petal-designed wand for spring? Quote

A new flower element with a standard sized bar that fits into an antistud could be combined with the new Harry Potter casting wand to create a floral wand while also introducing an element that could be used as regular flowers in any number of sets.

Accio Lego Posted November 22, 2023 Posted November 22, 2023 The Basil torso has leaked on Instagram. For those interested it should be findable under the usual hashtags as well as #basilthebatlord I think the design is nice, it’s even got arm printing. Quote

JohnTPT17 Posted November 28, 2023 Posted November 28, 2023 Preorders are up on MinifigureMadness, if anyone is looking to get a few boxes. Though it might be worth waiting a few days to order - they usually have discount codes in their newsletter that comes out around the beginning of the month on new series preorders. Quote
