Wardancer Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) Feminists might not like the question, but I wonder what the greek warrior Woman has undeneath her skirt. Legs with sandals might be very versatile if they have the right color. Edited July 26, 2014 by Wardancer Quote
Cara Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Wow, eight figures who either fit or have desirable pieces to fit into a Historical/Fantasy theme. This is probably the best series for me since somewhere around 6. Quote
Archer Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 OOO the gamer has a short-sleeve shirt over a long-sleeve shirt over a short-sleeve shirt look going on coupled with the pizza guy, genie girl, and dino girl, it's nice to see that the two color arms will be thing now. Quote
jodawill Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 These don't look like the Lego style to me. That new wizard hat in particular looks non-Lego. Quote
Etzel Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Wow, eight figures who either fit or have desirable pieces to fit into a Historical/Fantasy theme. This is probably the best series for me since somewhere around 6. Agreed! I really look forward to this series after being a bit disappointed over the recent ones. Quote
Mencot Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Nice series, I like them all also. Some are a bit towards meh but not much. Especially like Female genie, Hun, Life guard, Greek goddess, Jester, princess, spook girl, Rockstar \,,/ \,,/ and Swachbuckler. Am I the only one that thinks the Rock Star looks like Brian May? Maybe a bit but I think he looks more like a young nikki sixx from Mötley Crue. Quote
Echo Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Is it just me, or is the Dino Hunter very reminiscent of Ripley from Alien? Quote
fred67 Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) The rocker, to me says Joan Jett. Edit: on closer look, a hairy chest says no. I am not exited to be a completist anymore... the first ten sets were a nice thing, but they just aren't as exciting anymore. Depending on the distribution, I may buy a box, but this is the closest I've been to not caring. The pigs would be cool. I dream of Jeannie would be great if LEGO could look like Barbara Eden. I like the spooky girl a lot, and a couple of others, but on the whole, not all that exciting to me. Edited July 26, 2014 by fred67 Quote
Sandy Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 I'm really loving the line-up this time. After 11 series, the designers have to think outside the box a little, resulting in many clever and original minifigs in this series. They could have chosen to go with more replicates and variants of existing minifigs, but there's really just 3 of those in this series: male Lifeguard, male Rock Star and female Genie - and they each bring their own twist to their earlier counterpart. As always, the female figs stand out for me, but I'm also really digging the Gamer, the Wizard and the Piggy Guy. I'll get them all though, as always. Quote
CityBuilder Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 I'm going to try and get the Lifeguard, Rockstar, Gamer, and Pizza Delivery Guy. They would fit very well in my collection. Quote
Fives Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Its a pretty good group. The Hun is just amazing, and that shield is soooo cool. But I'd say my favourite is the Spooky Girl. That hairpiece is really interesting, and the white head may come in handy, just because white heads with actual faces are rare. Quote
Brickity Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) I really like these!!! Finally a good series! :D I bought a very few minifigures from the last series and none from the simpsons. When do these hit stores? Edited July 26, 2014 by Otherworld Quote
AyliffeMakit Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 When do these hit stores? According to the new Argos catalogue, they arrive in October. Quote
Borex Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 I will search only for Piggy Guy, Pizza Guy and Spooky Girl. And maybe Merlin or the rock dude Quote
Captain America fan 1 Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Just noticed the joker card from the jester. The jester is now a must buy as I will certainly be getting the UCS tumbler. Quote

Lord Rahl of Clannad Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Overall thoughts: Gamer Guy: Meh. Nothing special. Prospector: Poor. Very, very poor. Worst of this series. Rockstar: Awesome figure! I'm absolutely loving the 80s vibe here. And that guitar is wonderful. Swashbuckler: Another piece of meh. Jester: I expected nothing of this but was pleasantly surprised. Pretty good minifigure. Princess: More or less what I was expecting But hey, that's what I wanted, and it's pretty cool, so no complaints. Spooky Girl: Another unexpected delight with this one. One of my favourites of the series, which I never would have predicted. Pizza Delivery Guy: Pretty good. Loving that new pizza print we're getting. Hun Warrior: Epic. Definitely one of the highlights of the series. Genie Girl: Not exactly terrible, but not very good either. Male Lifeguard: Meh. Red binoculars aside, you could basically make this in series 2 with that Lifeguard and the Surfer. Waste of space really. Wizard: Brilliant, brilliant minifigure. Definitely my favourite of this series. Dino Tracker: Not what I expected at all, but decent enough. I'm liking the Hunger Games vibe she gives off. Space Miner: One of the better minifigures of the series, despite a very odd colour scheme. Athena: Definitely one of the highlights of this series and definitely one of my favourite female CMFs so far. Pig Suit Guy: Not bad, but most of the previous animal suit characters have been better. Overall, a decent series, but certainly not even close to being the best series ever. Quote
8BrickMario Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 The price will be around 5 dollars, like the Simpsons series. Does anyone see potential for double-sided heads in this series? I hope the Genie Girl gets one, since her face seems weird for a default. Maybe the Jester will have a worried "tough crowd" face. Quote
rollermonkey Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) Am I the only one that thinks the Rock Star looks like Brian May? I'll try to pick up both historical figs, the Rock Star, Video Game Player, and the Wizard. The rest I can skip. Really? It looks more like Paul Stanley's hair style than May's, IMO. ...and I know I'm not the only one who's keen for the goth girl. Edited July 26, 2014 by rollermonkey Quote
SMC Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Price on them? £2.49 Does anyone see potential for double-sided heads in this series? I hope the Genie Girl gets one, since her face seems weird for a default. Maybe the Jester will have a worried "tough crowd" face. Genie Girl has to have one right, that's not a normal face Quote
