Castle Minifigure ideas

[I Scream Clone]

Im curious to see what types of things my fellow Castle fans would like to see when it comes to the minifigures.

I personally would like some variety in the Orcs facial features to give the faction some variety/ like maybe scared Orcs or more primitive clothing.

Can you think of improvements to existing character lines or new factions or even a return to older factions?

Poll On!

[Cakeman]

Ohh, so hard to choose from elves or townsfolk... Who wouldn't want a small set called "market stand" or something with two townspeople and a bunch of foodstuff? But elves... my vote is on the elves. I want more fancy hairpieces and dandelioneaters.

[KimT]

Townspeople of course

I've already got several knight factions and forestmen.

I'm not fond of the different minifig faces. Actually I'd rather have the good ol' classic one for all

But it's not important.

So that left the obvious choice.

Need more men, women and children for my medieval cities.

[SWMAN]

I voted for elves, but it was between that and Forestmen. Elves was the obvious choice simply because it would be brand new with so many possibilities for new heads, torsos, and head gear. But, I always really like the Forestmen and thought they were a great addition to Castle. I think they could bring them back in a new capacity as a neutral force, raiding both King and Skeleton outpost to survive.

[Pate-keetongu]

I want new dwarves! and new orcs are good too, and elves, and forestmen and townspeople!

[Cardinal Brick]

Well of course I want them all, but if forced to chose I think I’d rather see elves something new and different. Rather than a revamp, or just more of an already existing theme.

[meschepers]

I guess I am the only one who wants new forestmen. I was really fond of their new look right before they stopped being produced. I hope they will make an appearance before this castle line is done.

[hewkii9]

I voted for more civilians.

[Sir Dillon]

Forestmen are one of my favourite subfactions, and I'd love to see them return. I think it's much more likely we'll see elves in the near future though, so I'm hoping they're very 'foresty'.

[WhiteFang]

Interesting poll.

As a castle collector myself, I am hoping to see Elves, a new type of Forestmen or more variety of town folk. Any of these will be defintely great and adds on more fun to the play. Out of all these, I am hoping to see more of Elves. However, any of these is defintely my best bet.

I think I got it out of my system now... Townspeople we have the Advent Calander to get

As for Elves...

I agree I would love to see elves but i still voted for mythology creatures

[Wily Manc]

I'd love to some more townsfolk to build up a bit of a mediaeval settlement, and I'd love a few elves, especially if they do make them foresty, but the one thing I'd love more than anything is a Lego Centaur - like a horse body, with a new piece instead of the head to attach a human torso to. So new mythical creatures gets my vote. Hell, I'd go for any of these options!

[AwesomeStar]

I voted forestmen cos I'm a big Robin Hood fan.

[Naith]

i voted elves i would love to see legos concept on them after seeing how they did the troll/orcs with the latest castle sets

[Eterneo]

It was a hard choise for me. I picked elves because I guess that with them we would get a lot of new hair pieces. Also, I hope to get some good-looking longbows with them.

My second choise would've been the mythical creatures, some minotaurs, werewolfs or centaurs would fit the current castle line.

[I Scream Clone]

Well looks like the Eurobricks masses have spoken (40 of them anyway) and its neck and neck for elves and townsfolk.

Is there any factions that I may have missed?

Who knows maybe TLC pays attention to surveys like this. I seem to remember a large movement for an Endor bunker set to be produced after the success of Hoth and 2009 looks like the year for that.

So maybe the little pic of elves will lead to most of our prayers being answered.......

Thanks all for taking the poll!

[iamded]

I voted Elves. I'm all psyched for them after all the speculation.

In the next castle, I want a more formal design, like actual rooms, a kitchen, princes, princesses, maids, squires, cooks, and more

[Klaus-Dieter]

Very interesting poll, I Scream Clone!

I of course voted for Townsfolk since there have been enough knights factions until now but very less townsfolk stuff.

Townsfolk adds more playability and more realism to the Castle theme - and it opens up the possibility to get more medieval buildings like e. g. a farm (with the new cows ), an armor shop and/or a blacksmith shop.

Townsfolk, specifically women. I would love to see a castle version of the large town minifigure boxes. I would gladly pay $45 for 30+ non military castle figures with accessories. Heck, you could even have a few knights or wizards or something just as long as there are 25 or so peasants, farmers, artisans, smithies, bakers, jesters, maidens, and noblemen and women to balance them out. Toss in some accessories, some animals, or maybe even flags and I would do the best LEGO set ever dance.

In fact I would likely buy four or five of such a set and then check that off my list of LEGO wants, knowing that LEGO has made every dream of mine come true and that no set will ever compare to such a set. Unless of course they release a retro version of the same set with all the classic 80's figures at which point I would sell a kidney or something so I could buy more.

By the way if anyone at LEGO or an ambassador reads this please feel free to pass it on to product development and know that this idea and any like it are the sole property of TLG, and that they can introduce such a set anytime now.

[Batbrick]

I voted for elves but in retrospect I want Townsfolk much more, you can use them for so much better things. That said, Elves are a great substitute, and I hope if we get them as a faction they have great colours and pieces for their buildings and such.

Batbrick Away!

[dj2005]

Was hard to choose just one option but I think I would like to have the Forestmen sets come back. They are neither good or evil so this creates a lot of playability. The Elves surely aren't a bad choice since they would likely be bundled with a lot of new, cool pieces. Lastly, I would also like to see better skeletons. All they need are better arms and a fixing of the eyes on the black skeleton, IMO.

[blueandwhite]

I'd prefer townsfolk.

Honestly, I'm not a big fan of fantasy (at least when it comes to LEGO) so Elves don't really interest me. Conversely, I've been waiting for over 20 years for a genuine batch of townsfolk. I'm really excited to see that LEGO has finally designed a cow mold but I'm still waitint to see a variety of townsfolk to occupy my kingdom. A kingdom full of nothing but soldiers and Knights seems a bit dull. I want the civilian side of life to balance things out.

[Fordo Jumping]

I want to see some new types of woodhouse for sure.

Though it may be mini, but it still has much attraction to me.

And Elves characters will be a new figure.

Wow! I couldn't wait for that.
