We should be seeing official pics soon, but this looks like the first pic that I have seen anywhere.

Per the Wall Street Journal and Brickset.com

I updated this list with all of the new figures.  Close to 100 now.  Ouch.  I am not sure, but we may have a few duplicates.  We will have to see if the sets have variants or now.   These are pulled from all of the released and unreleased photos.

I just found this on eBay.  A little expensive for my blood, but it is it a nice display and one that I have thought about making in the past.  I just never got around to ordering the parts.

He says that he will ship this.  I can just imagine opening the box when I receive it and seeing a mess of pieces that have seperated and me needing to rebuild the whole thing.  🙂

You can see the auction here.

I try to move my displays sometimes across the room and they break.  Imagine shipping from the UK to the US.  Ouch.

Here are a few more pictures.  I believe that this is all brick built.

Character Building (Lego like) Looney Tunes Show Series 1 Complete Set of Ten Figures From the UK

I noticed these last summer while I was looking at the Character Building Dr. Who Minifigures.  They looked good enough that I wanted to give them a try.  I was also pretty interested in the cases that came with them.

The problem was, that they were not selling these in the US and it did not look like they were planning to anytime soon.  To make matters worse, no one was selling a complete set.  They were just selling blind packs and the blind packs were not cheap.

I basically just forgot about them for a while since I was not planning to spend 100+ for a set of these, and I cannot imagine getting some without getting a complete set.

Then in December, I saw an eBay sale for 33 pounds for the complete set.   I felt that was a reasonable price and I pulled the trigger.

The seller actually sent me 12 instead of ten.  Probably because the common figures so outnumber the rares, that they have a billion extra common figures and they were just trying to be nice.

So here goes my quick review of these figures.

The backs of the boxes

Here are some thumbnails of the sides, top and bottom of the boxes as well.

Here is the contents that come in one package.  You will notice that they all come packaged in a nice display box.  I was really excited about these boxes as I was wondering if I could use them to display my Lego figures.

Here is a close up of the insert that comes with each figure.  Front and back.  It lists out all of the figures with a checklist for you to use as you are collecting these.

Here is all ten after I opened them and threw out all of the trash.  Notice that they are packaged similar to Mega Bloks figures in a small individual plastic bag.

Finally, here are the figures.

Here is the full set at once in two different poses.  Let me know what you think.  The set includes Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Sylvester, Tweety Pie, Road Runner, Wile-E Coyote, TAZ, Speedy Gonzales, and Yosemite Sam.

Finally, many of you are probably wondering if the heads from the figures will fit on regular Lego Minifigures and the answer is that they will as long as the body does not overlap.  I only looked for a minute to find suitable parts to make these two, but I think that they do not look too bad.

Character Building Heads on Lego Bodies Fit just fine.

I am pretty sure that a nice set of custom figures could be made with a little bit of searching for the correct bodies.  In this case, I used a Spongebob body and the chick man body as a quick fix.

This set looks very good and the price point is really nice as well.  I really like the way Scooby looks.    This was published in USA today this morning.
