  Timmy has competition
 
In my humble opinion Timmy is going to get some serious competition for the most annoying looking mini fig. I was looking at the Alpha Team part of the new brochure and saw, among a number of perfectly well adjusted LEGO minifigs, the fig with a (...) (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.build.minifigs)

I'm really going to have to start a Timmy Anti-Defamation League! Anyone else want to join? Paul Ferguson (...) evil. (...) (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.build.minifigs)

(...) Definitely looks like he got a big dose of Smilex. I don't know what LEGO is thinking with the new style on the 'figs. These things (the faces from Racers, the Construction set from 2000, and especially Alpha Team) are just stoopid. Steve (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.build.minifigs)

(...) Pshaw. I can think of at least one use where the new minifig head will be PERFECT: As kamikaze in BrikWars campaigns. Adrian -- www.brickfrenzy.com (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.build.minifigs)

(...) I think the rest of the crew looks *really* ticked off they are forced to work with this goofball. Except for the red haired chick, she looks like she is sending physic messages to the dude with the dynamite. "You will ask me out for Saturday (...)

(...) My son Ian built the yellow submarine from "Yellow Submarine" (seen in some of the pix from PNLTC's G2K show). We're working on mini-fig Be-a-tles. Of course, for Paul "the cute one" McCartney; we're using the Timmy head. - Gary Gerdes (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.build.minifigs)

(...) LOL =) The dude with the dynamite seems to be thinking to himself "I wounder if I should ask her out... nah... not with that robot always watching my every move..." =) ~Nathan =) (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.build.minifigs)

(...) evil. (...) You are totally wrong!!! IMHO, he looks happy, mind you it is an insane kinda happy. I think LEGO needs to design a new white torso with arms that attach in the back with long straps. :-D The important thing is as soon as I get one (...)

  Re: Timmy has competition
 
(...) He looks to me like he's wearing a "classic" anime expression. You know, the kind the hero's sidekick wears right after he says something stupid and is trying to recover the conversation. In fact, several of the Alpha Team seem to be Anime (...) (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.build.minifigs)
 
  Re: Timmy has competition
 
Yesterday my girlfriend called me at work and the first thing she said was "We *have* to get that figure! He's the best ever!" (I hadn't even seen him yet because I had spent my day studying the Star Wars sets instead. (I cannot explain how she (...) (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.build.minifigs)

But on the plus (or minus depending on your point of view) side of it all with the red head we finally have a minifig head that signals constipation. maybe it is because LEGO doesnt make a toilet piece and finally after dacades of holding it (...)

  Re: Timmy has competition
 
I don't mind this insanely happy fig. He kinda reminds me of that guy that's always screaming on the Dilbert cartoon show. I don't mind that Lego is creating people with personalities. I mean, how much personality can you instill in a fig that looks (...) (24 years ago, 27-Oct-00, to lugnet.build.minifigs)

(...) That was such a funny show! What station currently airs it, and at what time? Now I really need that figure- whatever's left over from lunch money today is going towards my first Alpha Team set. Hey, now we know why the enemies only have (...)
