Peter Pan gets the tiniest of back printings - basically a belt line but it still looks good. I also like the short sleeve effect that LEGO did with the figure. No complaints here.
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.
I ordered a Peter Pan minifigure specifically and received a Disney LEGO blind bag. I would never have spent 10$ on a blind bag I needed this figure specifically and it was a Valentine's Day present. I'm extremely disappointed with this purchase and even more annoyed that I'm being asked to send back the minifigure during the return process.
I thought that Peter Pan was pretty average. Like Alice, the animated film came out almost 60 years ago and wasn't that big a part of my childhood as the princess films were, so I don't have that much of an affinity with the Peter Pan character. As a minifigure, I do think that his torso and legs are quite useful, as you can easily use them to create your own Link from The Legend of Zelda.
Peter Pan is a jaunty fig, with a bright open-eyed expression befitting his character. The hair and cap and are all one piece, though dual-molded in flesh and green plastic, with printing for the hair and red feather. He has dual-molded arms and legs, and sports a gold knife. Pan is the only figure in the series to have an extra piece, since the knife comes on a sprue of two. Interestingly, the knife is pearl gold, though the box art shows him holding a pearl silver knife.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
