To be honest, the second CMF Dumbledore is my favorite. I love the dark red and gold collet scheme and I think the dual molded hat/hair is amazing. I also like the fact that he came with a minifigure scale phoenix!
I really love how each of the Harris Dumbledores in the revival has a different outfit, each from the first two films. Gambon Dum bledore is neat but he only changes his robe for the ball and not really anywhere else. Harris Dumbledore changes his outfit every single scene and I presume the character does so a minimum three times a day. It's just so true to the character and I love it. What I'd like to see is skirt-piece versions of the legs Harris Dumbledore designs to complete the set, and fill in any final missing ones like his Privet Drive outfit.
I love these styles of videos. Very interested in the "evolution" of a Lego series. The switch from 2001 to 2004 is so satisfying, and my favorite Dumbledore has to be Albus Dumbledore CMF series 2020. That 9:00 focus is 👨🍳😙🤌Amazing vid, thanks for two vids in a day
Growing up with the first waves of Harry Potter (and the 2010-12 sets), I feel so nostalgic over the old minifigure designed. I miss the capes so much too, I still think it adds a lot to a minifig’s silhouette
Great video as always! I’m loving the Weasley army in the background at 9:08 😂 Personally, I’d love to see a video of all the Death Eater minifigures produced, not just the masked ones but Bellatrix, Fenrir, etc.
I only have the second CMF Dumbledore, as I didn't start collecting lego as an adult until 2019, so I'm very attached to that one. I also love seeing how figures progress over time, it's very neat.
I honestly don’t understand why your Minecraft videos get so many views compared to the rest of your videos, It’s Not that I think your Minecraft videos are bad it’s that I think all of your videos are amazing qualities and I seriously wish more people would watch all of your videos just because all of them are good
I really appreciate it ❤️ I know I am "The Minecraft Guy" but I'd like to be more than that too! Hopefully I can slowly, slowly get those Minecraft viewers introduced to some more LEGO stuff too :)
@@CheeseyStudiosI found your channel from the Minecraft originally, but holy crap everything else is just as good! I even watch the bricklink order videos and I’m about to rewatch the Knight’s Kingdom series! Love your videos, the effort really shows!!
It’s interesting to see how much certain minifigures have changed over the years. I own exactly 0 Harry Potter sets but I am on a mission to collect all 46 Ninjago Zane variants. I currently only have 6 left now.
@@CheeseyStudios At least none of them are that expensive. The most expensive versions are only like $25. Jay on the other hand has one version that goes for over $50 & don’t even get me started on Spider Man.
I think I have at least one, if not two of every post-reboot era Dumbledore lol (except for the golden one). I don't really care for Harry Potter as an IP, but I find the unique prints and parts useful for other things. For Dumbledore specifically, his lavishly printed colorful robes actually make very good stand ins for Ottoman-style robes which I use with my Pirates-adjacent stuff. I also use his robes for Space/Star Wars-esque things as they make good all around "exotic" wear for fantastical scifi people. It's a great application of LEGO's simplification and abstraction of the costume details into bold, easy to read prints I find.
I love that the old HP sets had such weird minifigures. The face prints were so great and evocative. And it's fun to see Dumbledore's purple robes when he very clearly doesn't have purple robes in the movies, yet it fits his character so well. So I'm also very happy to see the call-back purple robes in the modern sets.
Lego has massively over represented the Harris Dumbledore in recent years. I think we’re overdue for a Gambon figure, especially in his blue robes. Sure it’s easy for us to go online and grab the 2018 CMF but that’s not really possible for most kids and there hasn’t been a blue robes figure of him on the market for many years now.
I think that was what surprised me most about putting this video together too - there really are not many Gambon variants, especially since the reboot! Hopefully next year's lineup gives us one.
Thank you! I've always loved the Dumbledore figures LEGO has produced. They're always pretty special compared to your average figs. I'm glad they keep finding new costumes to do too somehow!
I can proudly say I own every LEGO Dumbledore and the sets they came in. I always love seeing more LEGO Harry Potter on this channel. For the future LEGO Dumbledore minifigures I would like to see one using the Saruman the White hair/beard. I feel like it would be super accurate to the Richard Harris Dumbledore.
That would be cool to see! I'm glad the HP stuff is still appreciated. Before Minecraft, it was always my intention to make Harry Potter the cornerstone of this channel's content. Though things have clearly changed, I'll always return to it in some form. The theme's been so important to my LEGO journey!
Harry Potter CMF series 2 Dumbledore is my favorite, hands down. I would just add an alternative build for his legs to let him sit, similar to what they did in the Lord of the Rings Rivendell set. And I, sadly, have no versions of Dumbledore... Except maybe one from a Harry Potter Advent Calendar.
My wrath with licensed themes would be quelled somewhat of LEGO still used the yellow figures, I’m fine with the brown ones but the “light nougat” figures clash with the yellow ones so bad and they look like they’re undead or something to me.
Such a great lineup of figures. My goal is to get all the HP figures from 2018 onward, but that 20th Ann. golden Dumbledore + the 2 others in that set plague me 😣
I've got all the Dumbledore figures from 2018 onwards except for the nano figure. I hope they make more variants of Gambon's Dumbledore, like his purple robes for his duel with Voldemort in OotP & a cursed hand for HBP.
What a Dumbledore Army you have there XD XD I just have the polibag one, but I still love it. I don't know, but I think LEGO elders' minifigures tend to be quite cute.
I guess i never realized how many different Dumbledores their were. (Even thought I’ve got nine) I think my favorite will always be the purple Dumbledore also yo realized I’ve got all the purple minifigs (now only of i could afford zam wessel and sand red battle droid) great video Cheesey, I’d love to see more harry potter videos because there so great great job as always I don’t think you videos will ever disappoint ❤❤
That could potentially be an interesting one, though I do wish there were more versions of the figure. The original design was especially wild since the hands had molded fingers 🤣
Speaking of old colors, why is the dark red in an old set like the 2002 AT-TE different from today’s dark red. These two are considered the same by bricklink.
It's interesting to see how many minifigs Richard Harris got compared to Michael Gambon, which is fine cuz I hated Gambon's Dumbledore anyway in the films. It also shows how Lego is reluctant to make sets dedicated to the later, darker movies.
Know your Minecraft videos are your highest views and Harry Potter ones don't have near the views but I mainly subscribe to your channel for your Harry Potter content when you do it. So thank you for doing them occasionally.
my favorite will always be that 2004 dumbledore, as my exposure to this line came from the video games! im interested to know if you played any of them and what your opinions are.
hey! i started using bricklink studio and a weird bug is happening where the part selection takes up all of the space rather than being able to build. i was wondering if you know how to fox this or if you even use the software. thanks!
@CheeseyStudios I've watched the films. As a matter of fact i saw the 8th one in theaters, just haven't read the books. But I am most certainly a fan of the parts usage
@@CheeseyStudios i was notified of this when i looked at my own figures lol XD i think the dark red minifigure series dumbledore is the best because i love his hair not just for the hat but for the way it falls down his back :)

They are quite wonderful! I'd love another Harry Potter CMF...
i have that and the newer magenta guy. they both have the same robe partern iv found by looking at them :)
And he comes with the Phoenix.

Collecting these, you could really build out Dumbledore's Army....oh wait, that name's already taken
Hehehe

Next time I rewatch the movies, I'll definitely be paying closer attention to those costume changes! I love the variety in the first two movies.
Honestly my fav Albus is the CMF Series 2 one, because he resembles the Sorcerer's stone one and he even comes with Fawkes
Would be interesting to see the history of all legos piece colors
That would be legendary! If I ever can source them all, I'd love to
RIP Sir Michael Gambon. You will be fondly remembered like Richard Harris for the portrayal of Dumbledore.
Heartbreaking to hear the news. I really love what he brought to the character.

The capes were great. I wish they'd become the standard again. It certainly can't add that much expense on LEGO's end.
Great video as always! I’m loving the Weasley army in the background at 9:08 😂
Personally, I’d love to see a video of all the Death Eater minifigures produced, not just the masked ones but Bellatrix, Fenrir, etc.
Ooh, that's a good shout! Especially with the new ones coming with Gringotts, that could make for a fun video

i feel like the second cmf dumbldore has the perfect hair/hat combo and the Dumbledore from cmf 1 has the best troso and "dress" peice
I can get behind that assessment!

Love to see the improvement.

my only Dumbledore is the og purple one from 2001. I got him in my Lego Hogwarts castle. What a Christmas that was!

Weirdly, Dumbledore is the only character I have every version on display. Not really sure why, I just find him very cool looking

but why were the first minifigs purple?

Im not that big of a harry potter fan but i am a big lego fan so ive got quite a few sets. Most notably the chamber of secrets
