SpongeBob figs added to gallery
Posted by Huw,
I'm sure this SpongeBob SquarePants gallery will be popular, and I have to confess I have a soft-spot for these figs, even though I've never watched an episode of the cartoon in my life. I guess it's the bright colours and cool character designs that does it...
So, what next: Vikings, collectables, Space Police 3, Atlantis, or should I start on Star Wars?

My kids love the Spongebob sets, can't wait for the 2 new ones in August. Nice job on the gallery too :)
I say Space Police for the next one as it has some very interesting figures Eg the aliens. However star wars would be very interesting, Hmmm... Oh and I didn't realize that there were that many versions of spongbob
COLLECTABLES!!!!!!........please?...
Start on Star Wars, that should keep you occupied for several years!
Huw, you've put two doctors on the minifig page? why?
First, sorry but you put 2 doctors in by mistake, one apparently has no sets on the list. Anyway, I would say start on Star Wars, and maybe do another theme. I would go for Atlantis or Space Police, as SW will take a long time to do. In fact it will take a long, long time ago in a galaxy far away. ;)
Collectables.
Very nice indeed, though one doctor doesn't seem to be in any sets...
Vikings next please!
According to BrickLink, the Emergency Room set came with both variations of torso for the doctor: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=3832-1. I had one and BrickLinked the other so I could photograph both versions.
Awesome update. I vote for Atlantis next.
Collectible minifigs should be next. Might as well get a head start; there will be at least 32 more just this year.
hey huw can you put up the details for the westflied store grand opening tomorrow please? nice gallery BTW
@Huw: I've just checked on Bricklink and the "Build-A-Bob" set's Plankton is classed as a minifig! Were you aware of that? Anyway, keep up the good work for the minifig galleries!
Vikings! :o)
starwars. please do starwars! :)
Vikings! It brought me out of my dark ages. I have the entire collection.
I think you should start Star Wars.
Is my favorite licensed theme, and one of the most populars ever.
I vote for Star Wars. Love the Spongebob gallery! I'm in the process of getting some of the older sets I didn't get right now, and I can't wait for the two new sets (and a proper Sandy not in her space uniform).
I just picked up Spongebob and Patrick figures last month, they instantly became the favorites of my kids. Thanks for the pics.
Vikings next, please.
Wah?...no Plankton?....;)
I know, I know...he's evil....oh, and Gary and Sharon too....:)
I'd put my vote for Space Police 3. The aliens are great minifigs.
A proper Star Wars minifig gallery would be awesome! That's what Lego Star Wars fans and the good people of FBTB have been waiting for for years!
So yeah, my vote goes to Star Wars. But if not, a Collectable Minifigure gallery would be nice too. :)
i would say sp3 or atlantis next because they have some nice figs and are out at the moment plus star wars will take a REALLY long time
collectables
I really think you should do star wars next! That would be great!!
@Huw, oh yeah! Never noticed that!
how about a Doctor Who gallery...oh, wait...
Do the small themes next, then they'll be out of the way when you start of Star Wars.
Very good gallery!
There was just a couple of things that I noticed weren't in there- Plankton, the Crabby Patty Robot customer, and the Robo-sponge, all of which appeared in the Chum Bucket set.
@Huw I think that other torso on the doctor was made by someone who couldn't find the official one and replaced with the common doctor torso. It's not the official one.
star wars. no doubt about it
I would go for Star Wars if you have the time and money, but would be happy with any others you have posted there.
Collectible minifigs, then Star Wars.
STAR WARS !!!!!
Collectibles!!!
I vote Vikings! That was one of my favorite themes, and I think it was prematurely discontinued. Who doesn't like full auto LEGO missile firing with VIKINGS!
I vote Vikings. By the way, when are you going to do Power Miners?
I vote Star Wars!
Hmm so hard to choose between all the ones you mentioned... all sound interesting. I say go for whatever. We'll be please with whatever you give us. :)
VIKINGS! even though I don't own a single set, yet.
Starwars or vikings please, I really like to visit this site and check out the new pictures :-)
Please do Vikings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great gallery Huw! You're doing a great job!
I say start on Star Wars. I suggest doing year by year because there are probably twenty versions of Luke and ten of Han and Leia, and all those Stormtroopers. O_o So start with 1999, then 2000, then 2001 and on. I would say make a new addition to Star Wars every other week or so just so that we aren't bombarded with a new addition of really common figures everyone has seen, and then throw in Vikings, Space Police, Atlantis, and collectables, and such in between just for some variety(Even though I love Lego Star Wars.). Eventually you were going to get around to them, why not just start Star Wars and do some multi tasking.
Collectable Minifigures! (sw can wait...)
FABULAND!!!!!
Collectables, please! it sounds the most interesting. If not then Vikings. SW can totally wait.....
Do star wars and get it out of the way
i would do vikings or space police. dont do Star Wars unless you are SURE you have all he minifigures (which would be epic). good spongebob gallery too. the figs are pretty neat, the sets weerent great, though
You have never seen an episode of SpongeBob??? That's a crime. It's a great show for adults. Thanks for the gallery.
Vikings. Please. I think it is a manageable number of figs and you don't have any Castle/Fantasy figs in your picture database yet.
I place my vote for Vikings Huw, please?
I vote you watch one episode of SpongeBob before you take any more pictures!!
^MCLegoboy, great minds think alike :-) That is exactly how I will do Star Wars: start at 1999 and work year by year. There are too many to do all at once, and releasing them one year a week or so will maintain your interest over a longer period of time.
Collectables. Simply because the whole theme is based on minifigures.
Space Police 3 has nice figures too so do that as well.
Vikings vikings vikings!!!
Collecteblas or Vikings!
Another great gallery, as usual. I avoided the Sponge Bob sets when they came out, as my son was a little too young and I didn't want him getting into the whole Cartoon Network genre. But the minifig are insanely cute. What to do next ? Everything ! If you are mad enough to attempt Star Wars, then I think you should alternate with other themes: Collectables 1, SW 1999, Vikings, Collectables 2, SW 2000, Atlantis, etc. But you HAVE to do the Collectables with and without accessories. Please !
Star Wars(Original Trilogy, if you want to split it up) or Collectable Minifigures.
Is there a way to "checklist" the galleries like there is a way for sets? A way to mark them as "have"? I only collect city sets but want to collect any and all minifigs but find it hard to keep track of what I have. If there was a way I could go to say "Space" gallery, I could see by the marked picture who I have and need.
STARWARS of course!!! I like most of LEGO character but lately I thinks SW minifigs is the most interesting and very dynamic in style(renewable again and again) :)
I would have to say vikings and once you've done all the small gallerys, then do star wars.
Vikings!
I thought you would take Star Wars first but do it next the plz.
Good job on the gallery. I really like the pictures.
Although, I thionk that little bad guy from Sponge Bob (1x1 sand green with printed face in LEGO)
should be included to the gallery to.
For next gallery I would like to see SW since for few years it will be hard to keep track on figs.
I know that there is a lot of figs, but I think that it is better to start with that theme now.
@oldtodd33 - I agree, Huw should watch at least one SpongeBob episode before taking anymore photos, all it takes is one episode to find a love for The Little Sponge.
@mission_zed - SpongeBob is Nickelodeon, but wanting to avoid Cartoon Network (exept Star Wars: The Clone Wars) is a good idea.
The pics are great Huw, thanks again for the effort. As for the next theme I suggest you do either Vikings or Space Police 3 since both are retired and won't be coming out with more in the near future. I can't wait to see the Star Wars theme though...
@Stardusty - The "little bid guy" is Plankton (that's his name and type).
@Huw, great way to put it in order, very logical
Plankton, really? That is exactly the same way it's written in Croatian language, but since my english
isn't really good I've just named him 'little bad guy'.
space police 3
@Stardusty - Lol! Actually his computer wife (Karen) calls him Sheldon, but everyone else calls him Plankton.
Feel the Force, sir! There's a lot of star wars figs, and they keep adding more...Catch up with them, we must! Herculean, the task is... but great, the reward is! And please do justice and be kind to the animals (boga, dewback, taun-taun, wampa, etc... :-)
I would not do star wars for a while unless you do it year by year. Huw-You have too Have too watch at least one episode! Guys Sheldon Is not realy considerd a fig unless its from Build a bob. Karon,Robo sponge,and Rodo custormer should be in the gallery. My vote is Atlantis,But The next option should be POWERMINERS! The collectable figs alredy show h-res imagis of the fig so why do them?
star wars
Another great gallery, Huw! Thanks!
I would vote for alternating as you talked about with SW and other themes. The "other theme" that I think you should do first is Vikings.
I vote for Star Wars!
DONT DO STAR WARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I vote for vikings.
At least start to gather the minifigs for Star Wars from Bricklink.
Collectibles! (P.S. are you planning on doing animal galleries? :)
You know what would be great? To do a gallery when the Cars sets are released. Yeah, I know they're not minifigs, but the character cars nevertheless have very minifig-like appeal, with many fans wanting just one particular car out of a set when they aren't even Cars fans. Which item, other than minifigs, brings out out that kind of desire for just one item from a LEGO set?
Star Wars! Star wars! Star Wars! Start on Star Wars! If not, maybe try Space Police III.
The only thing is SW is still going, and also Spongebob has another 2 upcoming sets whereas the other lists have finished I believe.
The collectible minifigures would be nice.
@MinifigureMan - Vikings and Space Police III are both done (at least for now), but Collectable Minifigures and Atlantis may still be coming out.
get starwars! it's awesome!!!!!!
If you do start Star Wars, and you do every year week by week, perhaps you can join them together when you're all done.
i love the spongebob figs there so cartoon like which makes them funny.
