Another idea I had this evening was a Leprechaun.

Gender: Male

Face: red eyebrows

Torso: green/dark-green suit with gold belt buckle

Legs: dark-green/green short legs

Accessories: top hat and red beard piece for sure and either a cauldron with gold coins or a shamrock

Many of the suggestions you've recently offered have all been previously listed here. Except your clever Mongol Hunter idea, that is-- throw an old Adventurers sherpa hat on that figure and I'm sold!

...how about a Sci-Fi soldier, with a Halo-esque gun instead of cartoony Collectible Minifigs ones...

We need to have a soldier like this come out officially:

That's the reason I LOVED the space police III: their uniforms actually looked like a military!!!

I figured they were, which is why I didn't go with the detailed description. But I didn't want to read through 20+ pages of suggestions to see for sure.

That's pretty close to what I was thinking actually, but with armour, not just vests.

Anyone hear any news of a series 6, because it's been a while since we heard something?

[Gregorovich]

Anyone hear any news of a series 6, because it's been a while since we heard something?

Well if there is going to be a Series 6, they'd be coming out in 2012. I don't think we usually hear about sets arriving the next year until about August at the very earliest.

Some of the less-heard-of Marvel characters would be cool:

For instance: Ghost Rider, Thor, Hellboy etc.(Not Spiderman, Ironman, Batman(in essence, the stuff that Mega DIDN'T make.)

I wasn't too keen on the second flick but, the first one I REALLY liked. Have watched it AT LEAST a dozen times on DVD.

[CopMike]

Great suggestions everybody ! The ones I don´t think I know wont be done is licensed superheroes and modern soldiers. But if we were to go through this thread and compare the suggestions with the minifig series so far I´m sure we would find interesting stuff ....... !

[Fives]

The deep sea diver would be epic! That would be way better for the atlantis theme. It reminds me of 20,000 Legues Under the Sea.

I can't think of any particular thing in detail, but more female figs and more female hairpieces. If they were to make the new female hair from the POTC line in blonde, I would be very happy.

Possibly a Policeman with a more detailed hat and a new flashlight piece. Also a guy in a lion suit!

[Endigo Vandane]

Gender: Male

Occupation/print on torso: Legoland Ambassador

Type of headgear: Cap

Type of headgear: Hood resembling a Lion's mane

Type of facial expression: Lion's face

Accessory: Flower

Gender: Male

Occupation/print on torso: Scarecrow suit

All together now: We're of to see the wizard...

[Athos]

But if we were to go through this thread and compare the suggestions with the minifig series so far I´m sure we would find interesting stuff ....... !

I'd be interesting to see how many of the early suggestions got made. I know I nailed a bunch of the series 3 figures when we were making suggestions for series 2 (pilot, hula girl and baseball player all come to mind).

Hellboy is Dark Horse, not Marvel...

Anyway: Seeing as we had a Baseball player, does that mean we can have a Cricketer? My H2G2 needs some scary aliens and thus I need some Cricket Whites.

A Snake Charmer with a basketed Cobra and pipe.

Some sort of Superhero of a more generic variety

An 80s styled Keytar player, in classic a Synth-pop look.

[BudhaBoss]

I would like to see more fantasy figs:

Orcs

Dwarves (one is in series 5, but more variations would be cool)

More Egypt themed figs (like Anubis, Ra).

What about some other creatures - Draconians (are they licensed?), drows, hobbits?

Medieval knights (the old ones and also new print)

I do not think we can expect any licensed figs (like Spidey, SW or HP, nor Pirates of Carribean), yet SW would be great to increase the army (no, 35 sets 7667 did not give me enough soldiers).

Some time ago someone posted the idea of series of minifigures related to a certain theme or group. I've been thinking about some themes that would be great (for me at least)

- Platoon of Soldiers

- Chess pieces (White)

- Chess pieces (Black)

- Orchestra Part 1

- Orchestra Part 2

- Greec Company of soldiers

- Roman Company of soldiers

- troop of Gladiators

- Star Wars Stormtroopers

- Star Wars Droids

- Indian Village

- Far West Village

- Medieval Court

- Medieval Village

- Medieval Chinese Company

- Famous Warriors

- Women (to balance the lack there is)

I would be all over a seven deadly sins theme.

[Angeli]

What about some other creatures drows, ?

Now you are talking ;) I've been petitioning for months for some kind of black elven head :) I've been trying to build something (Nizam's body would be perfect, but, at the moment, I do not have it) for Drow cities like Menzoberranzan or Ched Nasad

I would like to see angel/demon wings, horns and more fantasy monsters (or bad guys)

1. Vampirehunter

2. Housewife

3. Angel

4. Rolerskater

5. Priest

6. Engineering

7. Big pink bird costume

8. Templar

9. Taxi driver

10. Punk drummer

Great suggestions everybody ! ...But if we were to go through this thread and compare the suggestions with the minifig series so far I´m sure we would find interesting stuff ....... !

I actually did exactly as you suggested waaaay back in February, compiling a list with all figs starting in Series 3 and up to Series 5, and looking through the entire thread to see not only who may have suggested each of these ideas, but also who suggested them first. I even listed what page of this thread it appears, and in what month. Yes, lots of work.

The results are interesting to say the least:

After looking at this new series (which I love, again, btw), I couldn't help but wonder how many of these ideas were originally discussed/requested on CopMike's "What Minifigs are we missing" thread. Obviously it's ridiculous to assume that TLG is directly taking these ideas just from our requests, since many of the figures produced are general ideas that anyone can think up, and additionally we must remember that TLG pays creative people well to just sit around and think of these ideas. So I'm sure their own list probably dwarfs ours.

But, with that being said, I found myself wondering how many of these new figs actually were mentioned during the history of that thread, which began in May 2010 when Series 1 began (let's recall that at that point we'd already seen prelims of Series 2 as well). SO, I've put together a list which records what EB member suggested each figure concept first, chronologically, from Series 5. Throughout that entire thread there's a tremendous amount of re-mentioning ideas already listed by another member (I should know, I thought the Holmes idea was mine!), so if you aren't listed as the originator of the suggestion, it means someone originally beat you to it earlier in the thread. Also listed is what page of the thread the entry was first suggested, as well as a month and year. As I suspected, we didn't mirror all of their ideas:

Series 5

1.‘Sherlock Holmes’ Detective: Dr. Kilroy –Pg01, May10

2.British Royal Guard: Dunjohn—Pg02, May10

3.Eskimo: Athos—Pg02, May10

4.Lumberjack: Athos—Pg02, May10

5.Gladiator: Fluyt—Pg03, May10

6.Mafioso: Lego Wargammer—Pg04, May10

7.Snowboarder: Jonwil—Pg05, May10

8.Cleopatra: Zzz—Pg06, May10

9.Graduate: Dfenz—Pg06, May10

10.Dwarf: Mo123567—Pg12, Dec10

11.Boxer: Lord Embo—Pg12, Dec10

*Lomogi asked for any fig with a bowler’s hat, so I guess an honorable mention for the clown technically applies—Pg02, May10

Also, for the sake of reference and credit, here's the same treatment for Series 4 and 3:

Series 4

1.Footballer: Prateek –Pg01, May10

2.Hockey Player: Ratshot –Pg01, May10

3.Sailor: Ratshot—Pg01, May10

4.Mad Scientist: Mr. Elijah Timms—Pg01, May10

5.Rockstar (didn’t actually say Mohawk): Peppermint_M—Pg01, May10

6.Musketeer: Athos—Pg02, May10

7.Artist: Jonwil—Pg02, May10

8.Frankenstein’s Monster: Computer Bug—Pg02, May10

9.Geisha: Dunjohn—Pg03, May10

10.Viking (first to really say ‘viking’ and not barbarian): blueandwhite—Pg03, May10

11.Hazmat Suit Guy: Lego Wargammer—Pg03, May10

12.Garden Gnome: Dharkan—Pg06, May10 (indianajones suggested the fishing pole)

13.Werewolf: indianajones—Pg06, May10

Series 3

1.Race Car Driver: Toa_of_Justice –Pg01, May10

2.Pilot: Ratshot—Pg01, May10

3.Baseball Player: Athos—Pg02, May10

4.Hula Girl: Athos—Pg02, May10

5.Samurai: Fluyt—Pg02, May10

6.Tennis Player: Dunjohn --Pg02, May10

7.Vampire: Aredhel—Pg04, May10

8.Gorilla Suit: Mr. Elijah Timms—Pg04, May10

9.Tribal Chief: Klaus-Dieter—Pg04, May10

10.Elf (he said ‘Elfknight’): Elander—Pg05, May10

11.Blacktron Astronaut: Dunjohn—Pg05, May10

12.Fisherman: Aanchir—Pg06, May10

13.Female Snowboarder: SilentMode—Pg07, Jun10

So yes, I think most of this is coincidental, but it's still pretty crazy to see how many of the existing figs have already been listed. Sorry for originally putting this post in the Series 5 discussion and not here, where it really belongs...
