So I know we’re a little late to
the party here, but our local Target FINALLY had a Lego Daffy Duck CMF in stock
this past week, so I can now update my Daffy Duck Parade Float MOC video from 2019 with
actual figures from the complete* series! Now these figures are great
and all, but unfortunately, this is the current state of the old parade
float… looks a little like it went through that car wash from the show. I’m going to
take some time before we get started here to scrounge up all the missing pieces, and get
this thing looking back to its former glory. I can’t imagine how this thing got so
bad in the first place. But anyways, now that we have all the pieces, let’s rebuild! And there we have it, looking spick and span once
again, with the mechanism I’m still super proud of working and everything. With that, I think
it’s finally time to populate this float with the CMFs. And because the parade float originated
in the Looney Tunes Show, all of these character placements will be based on their appearances in
that, and not necessarily Looney Tunes as a whole. There is no better place to start than having
Daffy driving, but—as you can see—I didn’t build this float with minifigure scale in mind, so it
looks a little like he’s nine years old... might need a couple of phone books buddy.
Then there’s Bugs, who begrudgingly rides alongside Daffy in the
passenger seat from time to time. And in the show, the Tazmanian Devil is like
their dog or something? So Bugs can take him for a walk just by hanging the leash out the
window. That's probably good, right? He can catch up. He’s a fast Tasmanian Devil,
he'll catch up with the car, he won’t get stepped on by the feet- Alright it’s fine
Speedy Gonzales—the fastest mouse in all of Mexico—is Bugs and Daffy’s roommate in the show
as well, so we’ll give him a nice spot to sit right up here on the back and some Pizzariba pizza
to munch on. You know what? Since he’s so fast, maybe he should have ran behind rather
than Taz because he could have actually caught up and not get stepped on…
you know what actually it’s fine, I already made the leash and I don’t want
to change it, so Taz will be fine, right? Tweety and Selvester live across the street from
them with Granny—who did not make the cut for the CMF series. However, I made a pretty convincing
replacement for her, so we’ll put this big happy family (with two of the members constantly
trying to kill each other) right over here. The Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote (probably
my two favorite figures out of the bunch) aren’t actually in the main show, but they had
their own little miniseries that would play between episodes, so we’ll recreate that by just
whacking them in the desert over here. Perfect! Finally there’s Porky Pig and Marvin the
Martian. P-Man is definitely in the show a lot more than Marvin, but they were nerd friends
in highschool (according to Daffy’s false memory) so I’m grouping them eating lunch
together over here. I don’t know. And that’s everyone! Thanks for
watching this quick little video, I hope you enjoyed the
spots I found for everybody- Okay fine. We didn’t want to spend $10 dollars
completing the set by buying two figures that didn’t particularly interest
us—Lola, and especially Petunia. The scatterbrained Lola depicted in the show
is hilarious, but that isn’t the design this figure was based on. In fact, it doesn’t seem
to be based off of any of her major appearances at all. Neither her… interesting debut in the
original Space Jam movie nor her controversial redesign in Space Jam 2: A New Legacy match the
design of this figure at all. I’m wondering if LEGO just googled “Lola Bunny” and based the
figure off the first image that popped up. And THEN there’s Petunia… who again, is only in
the show for like 2 episodes, during which she isn’t all that interesting of a character,
but that’s not my problem with this figure. My problem is the figure itself is just plain
bad. Porky’s head mold is by far my least favorite out of the figures we bought (it’s
just kinda boring?), and as far as I can tell, Petunia uses a near-identical mold plus some hair.
At least Lola’s head is a noticeably different shape and color. But there are just so many
more iconic Looney Tunes characters that LEGO could have used this slot for, and despite
the dumb controversies behind some of the more well-known absences, it is super disappointing
that they ended up wasting the slot on this. Maybe they felt the need to give a
girlfriend character to Porky like Lola is for Bugs, but then WHERE’S TINA? Admittedly the only
appearance she made was in the show, but come on! I could go on, but long story short, that is why
we never ended up buying Lola and Petunia, but you know what? If this video gets 100 likes, we will
swallow our pride and complete the set—granted they’re actually still in stores. We’re not going
to spring hundreds of dollars to buy them on ebay like 10 years down the line if we randomly reach
the goal by then. Maybe within the next year or so? We’ll see, but either way, as I was saying
before being so rudely interrupted, thanks for watching this quick little addendum video to
the main MOC showcase from a few years back. I think the figures really bring some well-needed
life into this build, and I hope you enjoyed the places—or lack thereof—I found for everybody.
Let me know who your favorite figures are (as well as your least favorites) in the comments
below, and if you want more LEGO stuff like this, waddle on over to that subscribe button and drop
an anvil on it. Until next time, that’s all folks!
