Series 4 figures.

Couldve made the roman guys one of those that blew the trumpets, or one with the wolf's head on his bonce 

Cmon guys.

Or at LEAST a different FRACKING hair. Hate that one. SICK of it.

I wonder how theyre doing. I only ever bought about four bags from series 1. Stopped when I ended up with the first three American tophat guys. I never liked the concept anyway, PLUS theyre very expensive in mainland Europe - more than the 1 99 we were promised originally.

This figure seems to have a v-cut in front of its head,so it will have 2 faces!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well we now have a drugged out looking face to use 

Thanks for the great pictures Tahra

The firefighter, the baseball player, the roman and I am sure there are more all look like old figures and prints. If they had to make a new production run of these figures would it have been all that hard to change the print just a little to add variety to the product line?

Have no idea why they do this. Really.

[Bolingbroke]

cause theyre in a rut - they have been in one for a number of years now. the last great theme was the roman one. save for that and the welcome DS reissues, there wasn't really much that amazed the average adult collector.

Totally disagree with you. After the Romans there have been Egyptians, Prehistoric, a new great dinos series all of which are excellent. The latest zoo was their best of those yet, I love the Future Planet but all the gizmos do make it too expensive. There are always things you can disagree with, but I think they have continued to do good new stuff.

Lots of complaining about the lack of originality in this series. I agree, but really - how many of these figures have they released in the last year? Compared to how many of the old specials they would do, at least 4 times as many - 48 compared to 12. Plus they are doing the Specials Plus line on top of that. It's hardly a surprise there would be a lull once in a while at the pace they have been going.

No. If they just used different colors, it would make all the difference! IMO, not THAT hard.

Exactly, would it really be that hard to not put in the green or orange pellets into the machine that is making the santa elves ? How about red, yellow, blue, pink for all that I care but anything different.
