Mr. Incredible

Now that we have Mr Incredible.. I kind of want the entire family. An easy work around would be to buy multiples of him and re-use the torso for the other members of the Incredibles family till they release actual minifigures. Or an Incredibles-themed set. I'd buy the heck out of that. Goes without saying that Mr Incredible is one of my favourites from this series! more less

There were quite a few characters that I really liked such as Stitch, Buzz Lightyear, Maleficent, and Donald. However, there were also some that really didn't hit the mark for me like Mr. Incredible, Syndrome, Captain Hook, and Genie. The main reasons for that is because the characters just didn't translate well in minifigure form. Some of those characters have larger features that didn't come out too well the way they currently are. more less

In my mind, I feel like I've seen "The Incredibles" movie...and yet I can't remember a single thing about it. Only Mr. Incredible and Syndrome (the villain from the movie) carry 2x2 tiles in this line of figures which makes it very easy to find both figures. Compound that with the fact that each figure is among the 4x figures in the box and you shouldn't have any trouble finding your Incredible's fix. more less

Many of these characters, even the non-human ones, translate pretty well into minifigure form, but Mr. Incredible is probably the weakest of the bunch. The whole point of Mr. Incredible's character is that he is a fat, aging superhero, and while the minfig version recreates his balding hair, the minfig doesn't feel like it has the heft that Mr. Incredible should have. He looks more like a balding Red Robin from Batman. more less

I would like to quickly comment on the figs themselves: they are fantastic. They have great features, ensuring none is particularly dull or mundane. Eight figures with 2 tone moulded legs; 3 moulded ‘leg/fin/ gaseous genie' pieces and 3 sets of short legs. Eight new hats/hair pieces; Five new head moulds (7 characters). Five pearl gold accessories; two hairbows, duck tales and 2 different skirts, one set of blueprints and a propaganda poster! more less

71012 represents a big step forward in the detail that designers can endow minifigures with; and there's no better group of iconic characters to implement these advances on. The 18 characters of this collectible figure series represent their original versions quite well, for the most part, introducing a bounty of new molds to fill the unique needs of their designs... but, from the point of view of a MOCer, that very specificity goes somewhat to waste in terms of reapplying the new parts. I think this series will be a real treat for Disney fans, whether or not they're into LEGO. more less

I will just say it: this is an extraordinary series. It might be the best Collectable Minifigures series of all time. For a Disney geek like me, this is a literal dream come true! No minifigure is truly awful, but some are definitely better than others and there are true standouts. My favorites, in no particular order, are Buzz Lightyear, Syndrome, Stitch, Ariel, Maleficent and Captain Hook. My least favorites are Genie, Alice, Daisy Duck and Mr. Incredible. But like I said, I don't necessarily HATE any of them. more less

LEGO has done a wonderful job here of taking iconic characters and transforming them into distinct plastic form. Even when the results aren't quite perfect, there's always a key aspect that's made the transition intact perfectly. If you like Disney and you like LEGO, you'll definitely like these. more less

I think the one issue I have with the look of this series is with Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Daisy. Instead of looking for like the cartoon character (like Stitch or Cheshire Cat), the size of the head sculpt makes them more like the early-day walk-around characters at Disneyland. It's a quirkiness that I don't necessarily mind, but they just seem off to me. All of the other characters I feel work well with the design and sculpt. more less
