Posted August 18, 201410 yr Hey guys, I'm not sure this is the right thread for this topic, but I figured it would be since it includes "custom figures" I'm starting to make my list already for my favorite designed minifigures from this year (as I'm a huge fan of lists and minifigures, so it's the perfect marriage for me ). SInce I collect both TLG and Custom figs, like many people, I thought I'd get a topic going where we could all share our ideas for what we think our favorite figures are from the year 2014. I also figured by including both TLG AND custom figs, we'd have a wider range of thoughts. And maybe, I can take a bit of collection of the answers and make a poll of the top 20 or so to add to this post later on in the year, when we've got all the figs from this year. They can be from any theme or set, the only catch is that they have to have been released after Jan. 1, 2014. So without further ado, here's my list (in no particular order)...which will be edited and added to as the year progresses: FAVORITE MINIFIGURES OF 2014 LEGO: Star Lord Gamora Rocket Raccoon Ghostbusters Figs (Venkman & Ray are my favorites) Obi Won Kenobi (Cantina) General Veers - Star Wars AT-AT Walker set Han Solo (Cantina set and Microfighters set) Storm Flash Martian Manhunter Galadriel?? - only seen from the blurry pics so far Batman - Batman Begins version (Tumbler UCS) Terabyte - Ultra Agents Mission HQ set Custom: Ghost Rider - Muddy River Figs Little Arrow - Christo Dark Phoenix - Muddy River Figs Superior Spiderman - Muddy River Figs Black Panther - NACM Robocop - Brickmoc So, what's your favorite? Would love to hear everyone's thoughts. Edited August 18, 201410 yr by DarkKnight7
August 18, 201410 yr LEGO: •Drax •Infearno •Pete and Yve •Rocket Raccoon •The Sakaaran •Mungus •Abe Simpson •Angry Kitty CUSTOM: Phoenix Custom's Kinetic Man, American Super Soldier, and Red Bird Can I count my own? If so, my purist custom Collector
August 18, 201410 yr I know you're not fishing for compliments so I'll happily give them... Best figure of 2014 for me is the American Super Soldier. For several reasons. It's not something that's been lifted from a game design and therefore doesn't use the standard muscle torso as it's base. The design and print of the figure is superb and negates the need for any other version of this figure that's currently available. It also give us a definitive figure of something that really should have been released by TLG. I think Winter Soldier is probably the best film in the MCU so far. By the way... Arachnid and Curator ordered. ;)
August 18, 201410 yr Lego: StarLord Pete and Yve (of course!) Electro Batgirl Flash Martian Manhunter Ronan Homer Simpson Egon Spegler Infearno Larry the Barista Captain America Falcon Custom: Most custom figures by MichaelMGF Super Soldier 'Ultra' Edited August 18, 201410 yr by Godtshep
August 18, 201410 yr Since cmf12 and hobbit wave 3 are not released yet, for now my votes go to the villains of ultra agents: Tremor Adam acid Psyclone Infearno Toxikita Retox They remind me of the stage bosses in classic video games.
August 18, 201410 yr Lego: Star Lord (Starblaster Showdown) Rocket Raccoon Martian Manhunter Infearno Darth Vader (ISD) Captain America (AA) I haven't ordered many custom printed figs this year, but Kinetic Man has to be my favorite so far. I also like MRM Dark Phoenix and American Super Soldier, which I have yet to order.
August 18, 201410 yr Lego: Star-Lord Drax Flash All the Uni-Kitty variants Bart Simpson the Ghostbusters new Vader Lord Business Ronan I don't buy custom figures but I'll still list the best ones just looking at them. Custom: Phoenix Customs Gambit Phoenix Customs Captain America Phoenix Customs Collector (hasn't been released yet but will in fall I think) NACM Ghostbusters no-ghost arms NACM Black Panther
August 18, 201410 yr The year isn't over yet, but so far... Greedo Thor Homer Simpson C3PO Darth Sideous Rocket Raccoon Krusty the Clown Honestly, any of the new Star Wars figures, except Luke and R2, are pretty spiffy. I don't really follow customs (ones that folks sell, anyways), so I can't speak to that...
August 18, 201410 yr Author The year isn't over yet, but so far... Greedo Thor Homer Simpson C3PO Darth Sideous Rocket Raccoon Krusty the Clown Honestly, any of the new Star Wars figures, except Luke and R2, are pretty spiffy. I don't really follow customs (ones that folks sell, anyways), so I can't speak to that... No problem, I actually was thinking of starting two different threads, one for LEGO and one for customs, but I'm too lazy to follow two different ones :P I forgot about Rocket Raccoon, I'll have to add that one!
August 19, 201410 yr Starlord (Starblaster Showdown) is probably my favorite Marvel Superhero Benny is the best Lego Movie Flash for DC Infearno for Agents NACM Black Bolt for customs
August 19, 201410 yr Best official minifig is probably Star Lord. The uniform version, only because the trenchcoat version has crappy leg printing. Best custom is PCB's (OP) Captain America.
