Brickadiergerard Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 What, really? They're not all actors in costumes? I thought it was the actual actor being held by an actual giant. Quote
jamesster Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) What, really? They're not all actors in costumes? I thought it was the actual actor being held by an actual giant. But they are people in costumes! Don't you remember the original announcement of the movie, where it was said that it would be partially live action? Get your facts straight, people.

Amazing Bricks Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 If this was made in a set it would be awesome: Quote
Kalhiki Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 This movie is going to be amazing. Oh yes. This is going to be... Awesome. In other news I got the Unikitty LED light. It's so adorable!!! Quote
just2good Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 If this was made in a set it would be awesome: Seeing how it uses the helmet that appears in the sets, I could see this being a promo! Maybe with the DVD or something. Quote
Blondie-Wan Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Indeed! What's that from? Man, just the promos and polybags and whatnot from this theme are going to kill me, never mind the boxed sets and the Minifigures... Quote
Masked Builder Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Don't know if anyone else has noticed but, Emmet doesn't have any pupils. Quote
Lance Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 I think that's because Emmet's face is based off the original minifigure head, just with eyebrows. Quote
coolcab1 Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 He is based off the original mini fig. Quote
bekindsorewind Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Benny in his formal suit would make for an AWESOME DVD exclusive. However, I'm thinking they'd make an Emmet variant such as his robot disguise. Quote
ResIpsaLoquitur Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 I'm still bummed that I can't get a Wild West Emmet unless I preorder a game for a platform I don't own. Quote
Still Raindrop Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Hey, that comes pretty close to the unofficial Benny minifigure I made. I guess I can save my $90! Quote
Piranha Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Looking at that now, it certainly appears to be a recently-produced simulation of an aged figure, rather than an actual aged figure, but also not one used as a stop-motion puppet (if there is indeed any actual stop-motion in the movie at all; presumably we'll find out for sure from the movie's credits). I'm therefore going to assume this is a production Benny the Spaceman minifigure, as he'll appear in the lovely neo-Classic spaceship set (and that TLG gave him to Chris Miller the same way they gave the major cast members of The Hobbit copies of their characters' minifigures). The bit of dust that's on him and the way the light is hitting him in the picture probably makes this Benny figure look older than it actually is. I agree, I noticed that fig is missing the scuffs the movie Benny has on his helmet, in addition to the CS logo having a 'digitized' look (the wear looking like printed pixels). Quote
SoupOrFishOil Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) These pictures of Emmet and WyldStyle dressed up also appeared on Wikia just a few minutes ago. I'm not sure where they came from, but I'll look into it. Edit: I've been told that they are "Somewhere on Lego.com." Scavenger hunt, anyone? Edited January 25, 2014 by Superficial Username Quote
CM4Sci Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 They're from the Emmet Awards, something they're doing with monthly contests. http://www.lego.com/en-gb/movie/emmet-awards/what-are-the-emmet-awards -Sci Quote
Brickadiergerard Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 They're from the Emmet Awards, something they're doing with monthly contests. http://www.lego.com/en-gb/movie/emmet-awards/what-are-the-emmet-awards -Sci Great find. Emmet can be recreated with the CMF magician, and Wyldstyle is a sort of variant of her WIld West outfit, but the Benny outfit is completely new and just fantastic. They could do a whole series of Benny figures or sets and I'm sure people would snap them up. It would be great if a Benny Tuxedo figure is eventually made. Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 I noticed something interesting at the beginning of this clip....... Bottom right corner of the viewing screen, a gas station which is a direct copy of this....... Now I wonder if any thing else especially in the sets might have some real life inspiration ? Quote
AyliffeMakit Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 They're from the Emmet Awards, something they're doing with monthly contests. http://www.lego.com/...he-emmet-awards -Sci Very interesting idea and minifigs (TUXEDO BENNY! ), but this part of the description interested me: "Whether it's uploading cool creations, or using our awesome new Movie Builder, each contest will have five nominees selected." So, what is this Movie Builder thing? Quote
coolcab1 Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) Maybe a gallery. By the way they made Wyldstyle to sexy I am not a pervert but Lego..... Edited January 26, 2014 by coolcab1 Quote
Captain Settle Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Maybe a gallery. Buy the way they made Wyldstyle to sexy I am not a pervert but Lego..... That's a bit weird... But to be fair, she is voiced by Elizabeth Banks. Quote

tormentalous Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 There's a behind the scenes video of how the movie was created as well as some glimpses of MetalBeard's Sea Cow. http://www.thebrickfan.com/how-the-lego-movie-was-made-behind-the-scenes-video/ Quote
