posades Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 I love how you made them all unique by giving them different hair/heads Sandy. As for the poll, I probably have maybe half (I'd have to check for sure later). I'm missing all the HP ones, the Orc "princess", and a couple other odd ones here and there. And as for the height thing, I think it's a bit odd that they're taller than the usual male minifig as well; I usually tend to avoid girls taller than me, but maybe minfig guys don't mind as much?

fallentomato Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 As for the height issue, it depends on the character. If it makes sense for them to wear a dress/skirt/apron/robe, then I'll give them the big slope, but if they need to be shorter I might use a combination of plates and a plain slope bricks to achieve the effect. I tend to prefer pants for my characters, but sometimes you've got no choice. All this talk about dresses reminded me of a custom one I painted a while back and never posted pics of. I just put it up in the Minifig Customization Forum. Quote
kill will Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 I only have Queen Leonara's top, I think I lost the skirt when I was small. As for the old style minifig legs, they always make me think 'Mermaid' when I see them. Quote
Tohst Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 12 for 12. But I wouldn't have realized how many their were and what the range was without this topic. Thanks for posting. -Tohst Quote
mikey Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 I love how you made them all unique by giving them different hair/heads Sandy. Although I can't help feeling that the Ginger Hair with Fantasy Castle Maid Tan and Brown dress does not go somehow. Don't get me wrong Sandy, I would never criticise a womans dress sense (especially if she was taller than me!), but I have thought since I first saw this topic that they do not 'go' togethor. The rest look great! but if they need to be shorter I might use a combination of plates and a plain slope bricks to achieve the effect. But then you loose the very nice printed skirt, which is a shame, because they are such good characters! Quote
Fumoffu Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 3 out of 12 for me. Governor's daughter, Tan and brown maid and Market woman. Thanks for this thread. Wouldn't have realised there's only 12 variations at this point in time. Quote
Clone OPatra Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Great collection you have there! I have several of those, but not very many. However, I'd like to point out that you missed the Studio Monsters actress in the dark red dress. I realize that you may have done that on purpose, since her dress doesn't have any printing on it, but it is still the old dress piece (meaning it looks like a slope, but is hollow inside). Do you not count that as a dress since it doesn't have printing? (I'm sorry if I'm sounding obnoxious here, I'm really not trying to be, I just wanted to ask you.) Quote

I do own that dress as well, but you are right, I did not count it with this group since it's not printed. Its not the only "plain dress", though. Quote
TheMaster Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 I have 6. The two maids, The newest witch and the two queens Quote
Kubik-Rubik Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Sandy, it's wery nice and amazing! And very good presentation! I have a most of lego princesses. Some of them you can see at my work "Rainbow tower" at Russian fan-forum Lego ( http://www.phantoms.su/index.php?showtopic=12774 ) But it is a little part of my legogirls ;) 12 for 12. :O You have a very good collection too!

phoinix Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 i only have three and they are all from the new castle sets.. Quote
Dr. Steve Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 I only have 4 of them, I am looking forward to getting the new Governors daughter on Jan 1st with the new Pirate set Quote
Sandy Posted October 6, 2009 Author Posted October 6, 2009 Some of them you can see at my work "Rainbow tower" at Russian fan-forum Lego ( http://www.phantoms.su/index.php?showtopic=12774 ) What a beautiful creation! I'm a bit of a sucker for rainbows and colors, anyway. I am looking forward to getting the new Governors daughter on Jan 1st with the new Pirate set So am I! Having seen the close-ups, the dress is absolutely gorgeous, but the best part in it is that the backside of the torso looks like it could be used as a simple bodice as well, by switching the arms the opposite way.

Lordofdragonss Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Impresive collection! Lego girls are always welcome! Quote
Brickstarrunner Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 Just imagine the many possibilities for a comic with these princess minifigures Quote
Jonas Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 And what about the Maiden from 6081? I believe she was the first Lego princess. Quote
Etzel Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 And what about the Maiden from 6081? I believe she was the first Lego princess. She doesn't have a printed dress. Sandy's collection is all the printed dresses, not all the princesses Quote
Athos Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 I've got them all. Aside from the Kings Mountain Fortress princess, you can gin up a few more princesses with the non-printed slopes. Then there is the princess keychain with the cloth dress... Steve Quote
Omega 8 Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Sadly I only have 3 (Marauder's Map, Skeleton Tower, Trelawney) I intend to have at least three more very soon though!! Quote
supertoad64 Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 It's really cool you've collected all these here. I have all but 1--Professor Trelawney. I really want that fig to make a fortune-teller character too, but all the rarer HP figs are so expensive on Bricklink! The height difference always bothered me as a kid, but I don't mind it so much now. I sort of wonder why they never made a piece specifically for this purpose (that attached tightly to the torso) before. The assembly can be kind of fragile. I also like to attach the old style legs to the female torsos to make skirts. It looks really cool like that and the height difference is adjustable, though I've found that sometimes there are color variations since those style leg pieces are pretty old. Quote
JimBee Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 Congrats on finishing your collection. It's great that TLG is producing more female minifigs nowadays. I have four: Skeleton Tower princess, the two maids from MMV, and the Maurderer's Map statue, although I never considered the last one to be a female dress. Hopefully I get the troll queen and human queen soon. Quote
Professor Flitwick Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 I only have two: the One Eyed Witch statue and Professor McGonagall. I hoped to get Professor Trelawney, but when I saw it was $30 on Bricklink that dream died fast. Quote
captaincreek Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 What a lovely collection. Unfortunately my assassins will have to steal them. Quote
hawkyboy4 Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 (edited) I know my brother owns the Marauder's Map one however after 10 years of collecting I remain dressless. Edited October 23, 2009 by hawkyboy4 Quote
