Now to only get them into LEGO Dimensions… Really like Captain Hook’s headpiece.
They won’t get into Dimensions,unfortunately.They, as with Star Wars, are licensed to Infinity for toys-to-life.
Originally, that’s how it was with Star Wars. But I hear Disney is taking a second look at it. If Disney has get there characters into Dimensions, they’d spin a profit whether the masses went after Infinity or Dimensions.
I think Disney has more to gain by licensing for dimensions, than losing any type of exclusivity. (for instance I have no intention of buying infinity, but Lego Disney Dimensions packs might set me back.
Heck, They might even strike a deal to get Emmet and Wildstyle in Infinity. Then everyone wins (and by win, I mean the companies, the consumers will be happy but broke)
I must have that Maleficent…
Are there sites where I could order a case?
Probably eBay or Amazon.
I’ll be honest here, I was expecting these to go up to 4.99 because of the new molds/prints and the “Disney tax” especially on the TFA sets. But while these do look good, the face prints on a lot of these reminds me of the superhero mighty micros, just because of some of the wacky face prints. But there are some I will definitely get for the parts, like Alladin, syndrome, and mr incredible. So overall I am personally excited for the parts but not the line itself, unlike series 16
The official photos have me A LOT more interested than the leaked image did. Unfortunately, I might have to bite and get a full set as well as some duplicates of my fave characters. I LOVE the omissions here because it means will have at least a second wave to fill out the characters that are missing!
The Lego Disney Collection of Minifigure (71021) is beautiful design of the Mickey Mouse,Mickie and other Disney calendars.
