Lightning Dragon Posted June 29, 2012 Author Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) I like the idea of this Topic. Because I'm Hispanic/Native American, my favorite figures have something to do with my culture and lifestyle. So here i will list my top 5 in No particular order and with my reason S3 Tribal Chief Coming from my Native American side, to me he is just awesome. I love the printing, head piece, and tribal markings. S1 Tribal Hunter Again from my Native American side i just cant not like this figure. Just like the Chief, i like love this figure for the same reasons. b]S2 Maraca Man[/b] Coming from my Hispanic side i also love everything about this figure. The colors stand out and i love his Pancho and hat. S2 Surfer Being from southern CA, the beach is never to far away. The printing on the legs and board is what really makes it awesome to me. It has that real beach vibe. This figure reminds me of California which is why i love it. .jpg[/img] b]S3 Rapper[/b] I like this figure a lot because I'm a BIG hip-hop fan and this figure has the stereotypical hip-hop look to it. From the face printing, torso printing, and legs printing, they got the look perfect to me. I have always thought that the "maraca man's" name was the "Mexican." maybe that is offensive to some people? I have nothing against Mexicans, their food is awesome. Maraca man sounds cool though.

vriverajr3 Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 I have always thought that the "maraca man's" name was the "Mexican." maybe that is offensive to some people? I have nothing against Mexicans, their food is awesome. Maraca man sounds cool though. Ive seen a lot of people label him as "the Mexican" specially in the minifigures trades list. But not once have I been offended by it or even thought about it like that. Quote

But not once have I been offended by it or even thought about it like that. I guess TLG was just being careful, but they make a lot of minfigs from other cultures, like the kimono girl, and the karate master Those are very popular to collectors from those cultures, I personally like the mexican too Quote
Lightning Dragon Posted June 29, 2012 Author Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) I think the Series 8 pirate captain is cool too. I'll for sure get it when the new series comes out in September. If the rumors are true that there will be a conquistador, I will get that too. Edited July 1, 2012 by Lightning Dragon Quote
Omega 8 Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 S1 - Cheerleader, Nurse S2 - Surfer S3 - Space Villian, Baseball Player S4 - Surfer Girl S5 - Gladiator S6 - Intergalactic Girl, Skater Girl S7 - Galaxy Patrol S8 - ??? Quote
Lightning Dragon Posted June 30, 2012 Author Posted June 30, 2012 My 3 - zombie, genie, roman (last of which I have 74 of!) Wow! That's a lot! Only...10,000 left to go? Just kidding 70 is a lot, I have 8 Quote
lorax Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 My favourite for each series Series 1 - Cheerleader (but clown and zombie were close) Series 2 - Disco (not a great series) Series 3 - Gorilla Series 4 - Kimono Girl (Sailor and artist are also awesome, was a good series) Series 5 - Lizard man (Graduate, Gangster and small clown, another good series) Series 6 - Butcher Series 7 - Bunnyman (and nerd) My complete favourite - Kimono Girl.

Yooha Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Series 1: Crash Test Dummy (no joke) Series 2: Mime Series 3: Elf Series 4: Crazy Scientist Series 5: Dwarf Series 6: Genie Series 7: Evil Knight Quote
Bricktooth Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 My favorites, broken down to each series: Series 1: -The Zombie: It is great for post-apocalyptic MOCs, and it is a minifig LEGO fans have been waiting for a long time. Series 2: -The Vampire: It is the first vampire since the one in the Studios set, and the one appearing in the Monster Fighters sets is based on this figure. Series 3: -The Gorilla Suit Guy: the first "man in an animal suit" figure, a subtheme which I really like. It has a great headpiece and back printing, one of the first CMF to have it. Series 4: -The Hazmat Suit Guy: a great headpiece, a new scared expression, and it comes in an unusual color. Series 5: -The Graduate: comes with a cloth robe, a new printed tile, and a new graduation hat. Series 6: -The Genie: has a new legpiece, gold hands, a purple turban, and a new lamp. Series 7: -The Evil Knight: the new longsword, great armor printing, and one can build a whole new faction around it. Quote
Phyre Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 (edited) There's so many cool figures that have been done, I have to name a couple from each series. My interests are mainly castle/pirates/historical but I'm also a fan of the horror subtheme. So here goes. S1 - Zombie (amazing figure... wish I had gotten more than three back when they were out rather than trying to find them for less than $20 now). Other figures that I really loved were the Clown, Caveman, and Forestman. S2 - Spartan (like the zombie, a truly amazing figure). My other favorite was the Pharaoh. The Witch and Vampire were pretty nice too. S3 - Elf (another amazing and highly anticipated figure). The rest of the series wasn't that good, although I did like the Mummy. S4 - Musketeer and Werewolf. The whole series was fantastic, and my other favorites include the Punk Rocker, Hazmat Guy, Monster, and Mad Scientist. S5 - Evil Dwarf was definitely my favorite, although I also really liked the Cave Woman, Gladiator, and Lumberjack. Another all around great series. S6 - Minotaur. The Roman wasn't originally on the top of my list but it has since grown on me and I'd really like to acquire more than the three I have. As a believer in extraterrestrial life, I also found the Grey Alien to be very enjoyable. The Butcher, Celtic, Genie, Leprechaun, and Surgeon are also some of my favorites. S7 - Evil Knight. The "Grandma Visitor" and Aztec Warrior are also pretty cool. I'm not sure if I have a favorite overall, but my top three are definitely Zombie, Spartan, and Elf. Edited June 30, 2012 by Phyre Quote
Freekysch Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 S4 - Hazmat Guy - I really love the head piece, the gun and the facial expresion. S5 - Graduate - nice figure overall S6 - Genie - Aladdin look aline minifig, reallt love it S7 - Evil knight - awesome detail and black gear. I own only CMF from series 4,5,6 and 7, so overall, from this series, i think the Evil Knight tops them all. Quote
Lightning Dragon Posted July 1, 2012 Author Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) My favorite series overall was probably series 5, because there were three figures in that series that I liked: the gladiator, dwarf, and grenadier guard. Series 7 was pretty good too, with the bagpiper, Aztec, and galaxy patrol. Edited July 3, 2012 by Lightning Dragon Quote
TrumpetKing Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) My favorites are: Series 1: Caveman Series 2: Surfer Series 3: Elf Series 4: Artist Series 5: Lumberjack Series 6: Genie Series 7: Ocean King Series 8 will probably end up being: Cowgirl My least favorites are: Series 1: Super Wrestler Series 2: Ringmaster Series 3: Space Alien Series 4: Ice Skater Series 5: Fitness Instructor Series 6: Flamenco Dancer Series 7: Bunny Suit Guy Series 8 will probably end up being: DJ Edited July 2, 2012 by TrumpetKing67 Quote
The Kid Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 Tough question... probably the following by series: S1 - Zombie S2 - Mexican S3 - Tribal Chief S4 - Hazmat Guy S5 - Lizard Man S6 - Lady Liberty S7 - Rocker Girl Series 4 + 6 are my favourites so far, though the only one I've come closest to completing is Series 7 (only two more to go). I just don't feel the push to buy figs that I don't care for... some collector right? TK Quote

TheLegoDr Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 I only got into CMFs at the end of series 4 so I missed out on many great figures. I may take the time to bricklink some someday, but who knows with all these new sets out!! By series, my favorite CMFs: Series 1: Super Wrestler (I don't even like wrestling but I can see a Macho Man voice behind that mask and some Nacho Libre antics) Series 2: Spartan (due to my love of 300. But not a strong series overall) Series 3: Elf (because, c'mon it's an elf!) Series 4: Sailor (my dad was in the navy in the 1950s, so it seems fitting) Series 5: Boxer (the gloves are awesome. And the two sided head = brilliant) Series 6: Butcher (the hat and the chops work for me) Series 7: Computer Programmer (argyle and taped bridge on spectacles is awesome) Series 8: Can't wait for pictures! When I first bought any of the figures/saw the release pictures my favorites were much different than they are now. So series 8 will probably change in a few months down the road after we see the initial pictures. Quote
Kai NRG Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Hmmm. . . I really love the Galaxy Patrol (S7), Gladiator (S5), and I also like the Hockey Player + Artist (S4), Bandit (S6), Sleepyhead (S6), plus the Aztec and Viking (S7) although I haven't gotten them yet. . . Of S8 the conquistador and Ancient Thespis sound good - plus a couple others. Theres so many to choose from but some of my favourites are the same as most have mentioned. The elf, forest man, spartan, roman, gladiator and Aztec. The ones that I always have on display on my desk and are played with the most are the musketeer, geisha, samurai, pharaoh, cleopatra and for some reason I really like the genie. I think it's the leg piece, lamp and the gem on the genie that I like the most. To what minifig are you refering when you say the geisha?? Quote
Huntleyfx Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) My favorites: 1) Bagpiper-Series 7 2) Highland Battler- Series 6 3) Royal Guard- Series 5 All three of those actually make great army builders, and their prices have thus far remained relatively low due to their army building not being so obvious. Edit: Just attained Knighthood. Edited July 4, 2012 by Huntleyfx Quote
Vindicare Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 My favorite is S1 Skater. Great torso, both color and print. Awesome! hair. I wish the board was proper size, but, oh well. Quote
Lightning Dragon Posted July 5, 2012 Author Posted July 5, 2012 (edited) My favorite is S1 Skater. Great torso, both color and print. Awesome! hair. I wish the board was proper size, but, oh well. Yes! It's too big and seems more like a block of wood! I don't like the skater because of the board. TLG needs to make a new, smaller, skateboard. Maybe they'll release it in a new City set or something. Edited September 3, 2012 by Lightning Dragon Quote
