Alice

Alice is rocking some pretty gold locks as well - a hair piece that reminded me quite a bit of Daphne's from the Scooby Doo line last year. They aren't actually the same (or even all that close) but the resemblance was still there for me (for whatever that is worth). Alice is another one of the accessory heavy minifigures - and her skirt ruffle piece adds even more value. more less

My 4 year old daughter has really been wanting the Alice character. I was excited when I saw I could order it for not much more than a mystery bag. I was even more excited to receive it and see it came in the same kind of sealed bag! My daughter was so excited when she opened it and saw it was Alice. :-) 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

Alice is a decent minifigure, although I'm not that big of a fan of her character or the movie, which makes it quite hard to get excited about her. Alice is really well designed, and comes with two great accessories but it just feels like quite a boring character. more less

Alice's hair piece is unique to this figure, with long yellow curls and a printed-on black bow. The back of Alice's hair is oddly devoid of detail, and feels almost too smooth. It seems like it would have fit better with LEGO's aesthetic for hairpieces in the 80's more than it looks like something from the current era of ultra-detailed minifigs. 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
