Helena Ravenclaw is White and Light Gray, Nick 1 is White, Light Gray and Dark Gray, Nick 2 is Glow-in-the-Dark and White, Myrtle 1 is Light Aqua and Sand Blue, Myrtle 2 is White and Dark Gray... Lego, could you please make up your minds?

Darn it, Lego, Harry Potter isn't the only license you have with ghosts! Do you have to be Forced to realize that?

If they could pull off giving that little blue dude from Solo four arms they can pull of making Nick nearly headless!

I'm sure they're aware they hold the Ghostbusters license. And Beetlejuice. And LotR. And DC. And Marvel. And Mario. And The LEGO Movie. And they outright own Ninjago. And Hidden Side. And their original Castle themes. And Monster Fighters.

Whew! Did I miss anything? No? Good talk!

Maybe with a head attached he can haunt Fawlty Towers?

This comment reminded me: There is a Fawlty Towers reference in Nexo Knights TV show's first season, and a ton of Monty Python and the Holy Grail ones in that season too. It went right over kids heads, but not many in-the-know adults I bet!

@MisterDad: Well, to be fair; when I saw the figure I thought "Wait, wend did Billy Connolly get a figure..."...and still do:)

and @Murdoch17: in fairness, Python's something one should "work up to". Watching things like: Are You Being Served, Dave Alan at Large, The Two Ronnies, the Carol Burnett Show, and the Muppet Show; that's a goood start. :D

See, a Lego Nick you could pull up his head so it’s just barely still attached to its neck connection point on his torso, make him nearly headless (and also weirdly tall) that way

Nice design. Shame it isn't in colour, to be honest.

Tudor Lego theme when?

I assume there is sarcasm here but not clear if it’s on the price or the rarity. He’s only in one set so considered rare. However, rare figures often sell for $50+ so this looks rather cheap.

@Doctor_Hugh: And that one set is rather expensive. Although it's still available, so if I wanted just this figure, I'd buy the set and then part it out.

And The Lego Movie. Vitruvius was a ghost.

On the topic of minifigures; what happened with them? My collection here suddenly says I own 0 minifigs and they are gone too for the sets I have... Maintenance or some bug maybe?

This is the closest we've come yet to a minifigure I own getting picked as RMotD-- only the one I have is the non-glow-in-the-dark version instead. So there still hasn't been a single RMotD yet who I own.

Maybe someday... xD

(Although in fairness? A majority of the minifigures I own (or used to own as a kid) are from pre-2010 and so aren't eligible for being picked. When only 50-ish minifigures out of the pool of > 10000 are ones that I own, I can't really be too surprised we haven't seen any of them yet!)

@279:
Yeah, I'm not entirely convinced Time Cruisers/Twisters is a real theme. It seems more a dumping ground for leftover parts.

@watcher21:
Well, probably not the melting ones, but the things that were flying around likely were.

@Miyakan:
No, I included TLM, between Mario and Ninjago.

@Ridgeheart:
I got Mario, right before TLM. LotR is there, too, between Beetlejuice and DC. I pointedly skipped Scooby-Doo because that's just a guy under a bedsheet. PotC...I'm not sure those are really ghosts. Barbossa's crew is definitely alive, but cursed, because they return to their normal human state once the curse is lifted. I think the same is true for Salazar's crew, because he, too, is restored to his normal human form once the curse is broken.

Now, a banshee isn't, strictly speaking, a ghost. It's a fairy spirit that takes the form of a woman. I believe that excludes Vidiyo, but I did forget about the Specter CMF. I think some people consider S14 to be an extension of Monster Fighters, but the packets have a logo in the upper right corner that just says "Monsters" and looks nothing like the MF logo.

This. I'd say he's more like Nearly Handless Nick when glowing in a dark room.

This guy horrified me as a 6-year-old, dude nearly rips his entire head off and exposes a bloody, salami-like neck wound to a bunch of 11-year-olds and scars them for life. This was PG at the time when Batman & Robin and Three Ninjas 3 got a PG-13?
