Lego is going all in on Monochrome in a couple weeks. Are any of these ones

I don’t remember who said it (Brickset or The Brothers Brick?) but the only new

A bunch of them will get added to the catalog, albeit with hair.

Don't know, but I really like the product!

TLG has finally followed through on what has been a glaringly obvious
marketing opportunity for some time now.

They did a great job designing it and the price seems to be really good too.
I look forward to getting one to build and several to hold onto and if it parts
out well then some for that also.
