The chassis on Mickey's car is a MODIFIED Fabuland Chassis - it doesn't have
the tow point on the nose (and I assume on the rear either). The Fence piece
(picket) is definitely new. The lamppost is classic FL - but I think the house
parts are new. They appear wider than classic FL. It could be that they are
the old FL pieces surrounded by bricks (I'd like that). The roof pieces look
like CFL. The birdcage is (now) common with Belville Castle. I cannot tell for
sure, but I believe that the heads (Mickey and Minnie only) will only swivel.
Their bodies look like they have the same hip-only joint of CFL. I expect the
feet will surround one stud - maybe two studs, but not open in the back like
CFL. I'll wager that Pluto's head moves up and down, and that the tail will be
similar in "softness" to the vine pieces, which means it should bend a little
and probably swivel as well. Minnie's car has no "chassis", it's made of a
plate and other bricks. The bucket "seat", windshield, radiator brick and tow-
truck hook are CFL.
Thanks Tobias for the scan. I've been looking for it ever since the retraction
scan hullabaloo a couple months ago.
My two studs worth
