series 7. nice.

and they are out already? i had barely finished my fix of series 6...

almost every figure has a large piece in it, so that they can no longer be felt like the minotaur in the last series or radioactive suit guy. the sea king has no feet, and a triton, the lil red riding hood has tiny feet. i dont recall enjoying any of the minifigs with short feet. this one i DO like. the bagpipes are the most interesting hand held accessory to date, and to hold it in likable varies positions, the hands must be turned around several times.

and just like the pot of gold guy from last series was perfect for st patty's day... there's a bunny suit guy ready for easter... he reminds me of the winnie the pooh keychains they have in the slotted machines at the japanese supermarkets. i'm already ready to paint one grey... and add some ninjago items on it ...so to speak. =D

Marvel Minifigs + LOTR

i have been seeing lots of pictures on google lately with the upcoming sets. The batman sets weren't as great as i had hoped for, and was centered mostly around the figures itself. They seemed like glorified minifigs with some accessories. with that said, the batcave is pretty nice afterall compared to the other larger sets. can't beat the smaller sets.

The marvel sets.... i wonder what kind of sets will be surrounding them. i'm guessing that capt america will have a jeep, if he had that lab where he transformed it would be rad. it'd come with minifigs like before and after, the girl, and howard stark. =]
The hulk... he has the ogre mold. so his feet can't move. not that he would really need to anyways, as he goes "hulk smash!" and thrusts his arms into the ground. Other then marvel vs capcom, the hulk doesnt really kick. He doesn't "walk" neither, he just jumps several miles at a time. so that works out.
i can't tell if wolverine's hands are just claws and if they can hold items. so far, my own wolverine has the similar hair piece, a head from the power miners set, a bomber jacket and the claws from the prince of persia set in his hands. will he be the only xmen released? cool to have a gambit, jean grey (or dark phoenix), cable, beast, and professor X (ok that dopey cyclops too maybe, but we know TLG will make him with no unique pieces, just slap on some old ice planet pieces and a new torso).
Hoping the figs from SDCC are real as well. still waiting for thor. iron man looks silly. looks like they arent going to make a Mark IV edition (circle on chest). Complete the avengers... bring in black widow! (woohoo a scarlett johansson minifig! LOL.) and maybe a slightly larger minifig. flashlight sized. The ant man.



LOTR minifigs.... since its in the realm of fantasy, i'm having high hopes for the sets. hobbit huts, castles, mage towers, and walking trees. But hopefully these sets aren't here to replace the medieval and castle themes. don't get me wrong, i love the POTC sets...but don't like them replacing the classic pirates theme.

First Impressions- Series 6

"Don't even think about it! i'll blast your head off!"

"Alas, i got one aimed at your heart, and if you don't give up the Celesten Carbonium Rod, i shall pepper the back of that sleepwalking misfit over there!"

"You won't!"

"Care to try ME, missy???"

was at the LTS, on acct of an ugly doll sale (half off everything!) and noticed that they had half a dozen series six minifigs.

so i bought them up, and the internet must be wrong, or i'm just lucky, but i was able to pick us these guys, and a few more including one roman centurion, which i heard was the most sought after of this series.

i really like the sleepy guy. but i noted that the teddy bear's nuzzle's paint is flakey. quality control? on a side note, the hands on the bandit aren't as grippy. i dont hear the sNap when i put his guns in his hands and they come off pretty easily.

(lol...thought this was published 2 days ago...)
