Random figure of the day: loc063

I really never got into watching the TV series...it seems just like Ninjago, minus the budget...

Geez, the weapon he's holding in the set looks like the mutant offspring of brass knuckles, a shortbow, and a laser cannon. Only it's all of the bad features, and none of the good ones.

Nah, that's the coolest Super Soaker ever!!

@PurpleDave: Sooo...the MMPR 'Ultimate' hand-held weapon is what you're saying (the "Power Blaster" I think): https://morphinlegacy.com/power-ranger-legacies/power-legacies/power-cannonblaster-legacy/

While I'm thinking 'bout it...how'd Laval's weapon come about...:
Chima Designer 1: So...swords, what's popular?
Chima Guy 2: Well...what about He-Man's sword...or Conan...
Chima Person 3: What about Lightsabres...
C.D. 1: Ok, ok...how about both, at the same time...and that's lunch people...:)

No, Chima's budget and quality were ones of the biggest at the time, especially for minifigs."

Yeah, because a lot of the builds are unfinished, bland and ugly if I’m being honest, especially that weird Mammoth-AT-AT hybrid abomination they tried.

Nice armor piece, I guess… anyways did you know that thing on Pythor’s chest is actually a Chi Port!

The uneven photo is triggering my OCD.

I've always liked the Chima figures, especially the head pieces of course. Very well sculpted.

i think i have the croc from 70112 and i want this guy for his armor his head his croc hat and his weapon for the Chima guys i take of the animal hats and put them on guys with skeleton skulls or red eyes

I wonder how many people have used a Crocodile Tribe minifigure because they didn't have a Killer Croc minifig for Batman to fight?

Bring back Chima, TLG! With anthro stuff happening left right and centre, it'll do well.

Chopped off bits to keep the price point, likely. A lot of Lego sets a "unfinished" for that reason, and that's the charm that brought me into the fold. If something is lacking what it needs to become perfect, your Lego collection will fill the gaps!

Not me! I have two of the original 2006 minifig, two of the TLBM bigfig, two of the comics-based bigfig, plus I have a third Leatherhead I use as a Killer Croc, and I just turned the S28 crocodile suit into another Killer Croc. No, I didn’t use a Chima Croc Tribe minifig as a Killer Croc because I didn’t own one. I did it because one of the single-sided generic Croc goons worked perfectly for Killer Croc from the first Suicide Squad movie (I think I built the whole team, including Joker and the Panda Suit, plus Slipknot’s head is getting blown off his shoulders).

I am still missing the new one from the Arkham set, though…

No but I did use one as a token for a Dragonborn DnD character I had, since this was before Lego had given us so many actual dragon-man figs

That 2006 one is so valuable nowadays… I wish I had it.

The TLBM bigfig isn't exactly cheap, and I still need one more of those. I let one priced just below $100 slip through my grasp recently.

Given that your go-to answer to the question "How could this set be improved?" is "Put Batman in it," I'm not surprised that you have an extensive collection of the non-shoe Crocs.

One of which is an actual licensed Dragonborn.

I wouldn't say that's extensive. I'm sure I have well over 100 Batmans at this point. Keep in mind I usually try to buy two of every set with minifigs, so I can have the set, and I can also have loose minifigs for use on club layouts. And I've made quite a few custom Batmen, initially by taking ones with black/dark-blue/blue accents and doing color swaps of capes/cowls/hands/hips. And I also used to try to make a bunch with the plastic wing-cape (stopped doing that because I really didn't use them enough to justify the expense). And anytime I make a Batcycle, or Batmobile, or Batwing, or Bat-tank, there needs to be a permanent driver (sometimes it's Robin...or Catwoman). There are around 200 minifigs in the TLBM display collection (again, full set of Arkham villains, and a nearly-complete second set in Arkham jumpsuits, plus my Crazy Batsuit collection is up to 34 after adding in any custom suits I was able to design based on what's shown in the movie).

Two. They made two D&D Dragonborn minifigs. One was 71047-4 (who also exists as keychain 854331, without the bulky armor), but they also made a green Dragonborn innkeeper named Alax Jadescales for 21348.
