Here is the link to the Fan vote for the new space minifigure and castle faction.

Bright bluish green (teal I think?) and Krakens for me. The warm pearl gold and dark azure are nice as well.

Latest results announced today

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Italian Riviera

Strong Bricklink Venice vibes for obvious reasons.

I'm meh on these, could be good though.

Is this the new scary Mickey ride that was teased a while back

LEGO announced the results of the first 2024 review stage yesterday.  The Minerals Display set was the only one chosen for production.

 

 

Personally, this is lost on me.  Looks like it could be a nice parts pack, but I prefer the birds or the bugs sets over this - and I wasn't exactly overwhelmed by either of those.  It just feels like LEGO is backed up with Ideas sets to produce, some of them rather large in size, and they decided to take a pass on this entire round.

Pantasy's version looks way better to me.

Pantasy is by far the better build, lacquered elements, don't forget the microscale interior and it is $100 less, but the Lego set has 16 minifigures. 

$180 for 1300ish pieces. 16 minifigs or not, that's a nope for me. And agreed on the Pantasy version, it looks a lot better.

BUT TEAL AND GOLD SPACEMANS! Looks cool, would be nice if they made one without minifigures so you could just add your own for less of the cost.

Both builds fit the look of their respective titles. Pantasy has a classic styled gumball machine, LEGO is a gashapon esque minifigure vending machine akin to those I typically found towards the front of a grocery store. From a glance of overall design, LEGO's is simpler and from the side angles rather full & fat. While not an official Minifigures series release, the vending machine feels like buying a complete set plus a build to boot. (Pricy still no matter how you slice it.) Nice throwbacks with the Paradisa and Fabuland torsos. The capsule pieces are intriguing. Also, classic spacemen in pearl gold & teal for the win.

I could see replacing all the minifigures in the capsules with microscale builds similar to the advent calendar sets when displayed as I rather enjoy showing the characters on their own traversing my cityscape or otherwise.

$180 and LEGO could not include 18 UNIQUE minifigs ?  Also, those balls are going to be hard to open and close

The duplicates are for the resellers  

What is the official color of the Teal space figure? I have a display based on the everyone is awesome of just space figs and want to add the right color stripes to it.

Darn! I was afraid of that. Neither of those colors exists in the drop downs under any of the parts required. Looks like Dark Turquiose and Warm Yellowish Orange are about the closest, though neither is a match

LEGO officially goes by bright bluish green whereas Bricklink has it as dark turquoise. Additionally, Bricklink would have the other spaceman as pearl gold I believe.

The reselling price would have been doubled with just 1 per box  

Thanks for that confirmation. That was my guess as I was going through Bricklink.

i have ordered all the bits required for stripes additions to the display for the two new figures plus the dark blue, as i see they are coming out with a dreamzzzzz set that has the helmet and tank in dark blue. 
 

no idea why i like the classic space figures so much, but i do

My bad I was thinking of this one:

Dreamzzz 71501 Game Island Tower. Set included a light blue classic space torso.
