LEGO Unikitty Collectible Minifigure Series (The Bag Feelers Nightmare)

samiam391

I anticipate a lot of trading this series...

Pumpkin_3CK5

Maybe/hopefully it'll be translucent like the nexo shield packs/mixels. Managed to get all the wave 1 shield designs thanks to that. 

Aleydita

A new neck piece?

Shib

I quite like those bases.
I wonder how many will be in each box and if it’ll be equal distribution or some rarer than others.

In all honesty I’m surprised they haven’t included a chase Golden Unikitty - 1 per box :-P

If you find a full case, I suspect these will have bump codes on them like the other series. That will help to separate them out. Not sure I will be purchasing these anyway.

Legoboy

Oh dear.

redarmy

A wide berth...

Regular blind bag CMFs are a PITA. This will be worse. I don't have enough time to build my existing backlog, so while I want these, I might pass unless there's a reasonable way to get a complete set.

Fizyx

I figure I'll just get a complete set from one of the resellers that cuts a small hole in the bag to confirm the set, and then packs them in another small plastic bag.  Most of the time you don't spend any more than you would on a complete set anyway, and you don't have to deal with learning the bump codes :P

Mr_Cross

I think they're funny, but I only want a couple of those parts for moc experiments, the new ear piece and neck piece in a few colours, hopefully they'll turn up in other sets.

Legopants

Fortunately, I'm not at all interested in these. Or am I? :-S

gmonkey76

Hopefully @MinifiguresPlus will be getting these. 

PoMoPink

So, where does one buy full boxes of these from?
(Asking for ... er ... a friend ... )

BrickByBrick

So does this really count as a cmf series? I can't decide if I should be getting them or not...

truck730

Pity they didn't put a football in like the indistinguishable German footballers, and hope they fixed the headlessness of Movie unikitty

Looks like it could be that piece used as a bottle nozzle on S17's dance instructor.

darthdc

No, it can't be one of them.

Very cute, but will pass.
Can't be bothered with the hassle of getting one of each.

"Series 1". How many more variants will there be?

It is. The bottom part of the head has been changed from a regular 1x3 plate to a 1x3 inverted tile with a 3.2mm hole in the center.

Love the general cuteness of the series, the cloud bases, and those useful Bionicle ball joint recolors!

This series is giving me cognitive dissonance.  

GentlyBenevolent

Silly question but when are these being released ????

Istokg

Oh my....  It looks to me like if you took Hello Kitty... and did some genetic engineering using Japanese Kabaya Sweets....

... the end result would be LEGO UniKitty....

elspankdog

Is that a bright light green 1x1 plate?

I think the original inspiration was a little more Hello Kitty+My Little Pony, but either way it's wonderful.

Hopefully they’ll get into other characters in future series.

I imagine any future series will also have many Unikitties too.  She is the selling point, like Batman.

Bumblepants

I'm just looking past this and waiting for the Series 3 leftovers we are trying to get rid of still VIP Fan Favorites Special Release!

Ahh, that's why TLBM series 2 only had 2 batmen, one being very similar to a previous one?

FowlerBricks

This is such a weird series. I'll probably pass.

I thought the same thing about Mixels.  But then, NINE series later... I bought them all.

FowlerBricks

^Haha! Well, my budget will only allow me to get one type of blind bag series, so I'll stick with CMFs. I already have the best version of Unikitty.  :D

Switchfoot55

Good thing I've been perfecting my "feel for color" abilities. 

You'd be surprised how different red feels from green...

Fizyx

I'm kind of curious if LEGO considers this to be a CMF series or a 'Mixels style' series.  After seeing them, I personally do consider them to be a CMF.  They have base plates, the bag style is consistent, and while they are brick built, they are figures of characters that are themselves brick-built, and they're not brick-built in the way we think of for most brick-built creatures, as they depend so heavily on prints, like many minifigs do.

Alternatively though, they ARE breaking the current CMF set numbering scheme, with #41775 instead of something like #710XX.

EDIT: (Cue the 'UCS or not UCS' fight all over again :P )

LostInTranslation

I don't see them as CMFs because they are not "minifigures", as a minifigure has a specific meaning in my opinion. They don't have a single component of a minifigure as per the trademarked image (head, torso, legs) as far as I can see, so I think they are collectable brick-built figures :-) 

tamamahm

We will be getting some here, although unless I find a good way between feeling and bumps to determine what is in each bag, I will not get all. If I can differentiate, I think I will get all of them.

I think they will see them as something new - a Unikitty series. They aren't Collectable Minifigures as there are no minifigures in them. They aren't Mixels style, as they are blind bagged. 

Pumpkin_3CK5

Neither monster nor minifigure; an abomination. Minicreatures!

These blind bags are fun and all, but I think the unikingdom creative brick box is where it's at. Clouds, sandwiches and other random objects with custom printed faces? Yes plx! Which makes me think it would've been better if they went with a variety of different characters instead of multiple unikitties, imho. 

theLEGOman

4 of the 12 are a dog character. So only 2/3's are Unikitty.

TheFew

Meh, meh and thrice meh.

That would be Prince Puppycorn, Unikitty’s younger brother. How a feline and a canine can be siblings is beyond logic, but this is crazy fantasy Lego we’re talking about.

SumoLego

Also there's no consistency!

elspankdog

Obviously their parents are either a cat and a unidog or dog and a unicat.  The unicorn gene is obviously dominant, duh

Kaitch

Or one unicorn parent and one dog/cat hybrid parent...

560Heliport

Or they're half-siblings... shared parent is a unicorn, others are a cat and a dog.

Kaitch

That actually sounds the most biologically plausible.

Although its still completely impossible...

rdflego

I've already started my search for a full box of these. Keeping my fingers crossed that it doesn't take too long

pharmjod

They probably aren't even due out for a couple of months.
