Hapori Tohu Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 It goes without saying that the collectible minifigures have been a huge hit. We're up to Series 12 of the little buddies now, due out this October for $3.99 apiece. The Brick Fan has posted a (translated) list of the characters slated to appear in this set: Space Miner, Battle Goddess, Wizard, Dino Tracker, Swashbuckler, Jester, Piggy Guy, Hun Warrior, Fairytale Princess, Pizza Delivery Man, Video Game Guy, Spooky Girl, Prospector, Genie Girl, Rock Star, Lifeguard.

Vorahk1Panrahk2 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Looking forward to these, as usual, especially "Swashbuckler", "Prospector", and the rest of the fantasy based figs. And I'm seriously hoping that "Swashbuckler" bears a resemblance to Errol Flynn. Quote BZPRPG Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotcom Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 The raise in price is a bit annoying, but this series sounds very very very good. Curious about how they'll differentiate a new lifeguard and rock star from previous ones, and I'm pretty curious to see what the battle godess, dino tracker, and spooky girl will even look like. And since I never managed to get series 11's genie, I'll definitely be looking forward to the genie girl. Seems like a great bunch. (but so expensive!)

Toa Smoke Monster Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I'm very interested in the Video Game Guy. I hope he turns out to be a good minifig. The Dino Tracker and Space Goddess sound cool too. I do have one question; who or what is a Piggy Man? I've never heard of one before. (Besides the Pig Man from that one Seinfield episode.) I wonder what it will look like.

Toa Zaz Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 4 bucks for one minifigure?! This is really ridiculous. Piggy guy sounds kind of interesting, though... Quote Thank you, BZPower staff. In the past, I wish I showed more appreciation for all that you do. From one Bionicle fan to another, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what it will look like.I would assume that "Piggy Man" is the animal costume guy that we get in almost every set on Minifigs.

And you know that you are where their world begins. You are their rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyichir Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 The raise in price is a bit annoying, but this series sounds very very very good.

And since I never managed to get series 11's genie, I'll definitely be looking forward to the genie girl. Seems like a great bunch. (but so expensive!)I'm expecting the lifeguard to be more of a pool lifeguard (and probably a male one as well). There are any number of options for the rock star—I've seen possibilities ranging from Freddie Mercury to KISS! Pizza Delivery Guy sounds promising. Genie Girl could go two ways (colored genie like the previous CMF in something like pink, or perhaps something more "I Dream of Jeannie"—I expect the former but perhaps with elements of the latter). Battle Goddess sounds like a Valkyrie (which could be cool). Swashbuckler could be a typical pirate but I'm hoping for an Errol Flynn-like hero, with a flowy shirt and either a cutlass or rapier. Spooky girl could be any number of things—but it sounds to me like a Wednesday Addams-like goth girl. Video Game Guy sounds incredibly ambiguous—is it a gamer (nerdy, perhaps with a gamepad or similar item) or is it a video game character (like an RPG hero or a TRON-like cyber-warrior)? Either way sounds great. Fairytale Princess sounds good, regardless of what sort of princess character it represents. Prospector could potentially use parts like the beard and coonskin cap from "Wiley Fusebot" of The Lego Movie series. Space Miner sounds well-suited to a reference to an older space theme, like M-Tron or Rock Raiders. Jester sounds like figs we've had before in Castle but should be fun anyway (perhaps in a yellow and red color scheme to differentiate him?). Dino Tracker could be either be a Jurassic Park-style dinosaur hunter or researcher, or a new caveman character. Hun warrior sounds to be a typical historic fig. And Piggy Guy sounds like another costumed character (I don't typically like these that much, but I know a lot of people do). All in all this list isn't descriptive enough to let us know what all the figs will be like, but at the very least it shows that they still have plenty of ideas to work with! I can't wait until pics start to surface! 1 Quote Formerly Lyichir: Rachira of Influence Aanchir's and Meiko's brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Cup of Fail Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 This great, I can't to see what the Video Game Guy looks like, I hope they have a shirt to reference the LEGO Island Games for one of the old LEGO Games. Space Miner I don't know why but I am thinking of Mars Mission and Pepper with the Pizza Delivery Man. Also I thought we alright have gotten a Rock Star or was that something else.

GarryTheSkrall Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Sounds like a great lineup, especially the delivery guy. Also interested in what the Battle Goddess might look like. Kinda makes me think of some depictions of Athena, or possibly Enyo. Quote Boom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatKhanArtist Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Thank heavens they're not those stupid "Masters of the Universe" floating around the interweb. I'm from that era, but some things are best left to die. Quote Verily, I say unto you, these words which you will never find on a Lego box: "No Assembly Required". Play well, friends.

Besides, as Lychir said above, they have a lot of directions they can go when it comes to representing rock stars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Cup of Fail Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Hey we are not getting the new Chima ultra build in North America, so it won't be a surprised if they don't come to North America (also I think LEGO hate us in North America )Also you wouldn't kill a guy with nachos... also when the guy sick.

And while I know you were joking, the chance of this minifigures series not making it here is zero—setting aside the fact that the Minifigures consistently sell well over here (unlike last year's Chima constraction sets, which by most accounts tended to warm shelves), the upcoming Minifigures MMO is going to be connected to this series and by all indications will be playable globally.
