Takanuinuva Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 After looking at Misfortune's Keep. I think Nadakhan has a new color for the minifigure pirate hook. It's definitely not silver or grey. I'm thinking it might be black or dark brown like his hands. Though I'm really hoping for it to be gunmetal grey. Quote
LegendsOfNinjago Posted November 23, 2015 Author Posted November 23, 2015 I like that he has a different face. Lloyd last year got a new face too. Quote
benderisgreat Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Kai has a new face in that cube? That's awesome! Why did Lego waited so long to make him a normal show accurate face without unnecessary scars? And all Kai minifigs in Skybouhd sets will still use his face with scars right? That's such a long lasting mistake Lego isn't trying to stop. I mean how hard it is to give new head to all upcoming Kai minifigs? Quote
bricksfan Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Or that scar =/= angsty assassin, just like eyepatch =/= pirate in Jay's case. In fact, it's quite surprising that Kai isn't even hot headed. Even in season 2. He's just dumb XD That is true I've never liked Kai's scars and I will not like Jay's eyepatch. Makes them look like gangsters or somethin'. Quote
Mandate Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 I'm just glad that other Ninjas are getting new face prints aside from Lloyd!! That's... actually really sad to me. I detest Lloyd's current face, and I absolutely HATE Nya's new face, but it's kind of sad that we're probably never going to see the original prints for the characters in NINJAGO sets again. Quote
LegendsOfNinjago Posted November 23, 2015 Author Posted November 23, 2015 I really like Lloyds smerk face from the cube last year. Quote
BricksrDamian2 Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 I wish all the ninja would get new head prints Quote
LegendsOfNinjago Posted November 23, 2015 Author Posted November 23, 2015 Technically, with the cube Kai and the upcoming sets every ninja will have a new face print. Quote
gamejutzu Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) Yeah, but you guys are forgetting, in the show it's fine for Kai to have no scar, since he's easily distinguishable without it. But in the sets, the only thing making Kai different WAS the scar! Do you know how many guys have a similar expression to him? Unless Kai has the smirk from the show (What expression does he have, who has the cube version?), I REALLY think this was a bad move, if this is a replacement face, in more ways than one. I absolutely HATE Nya's new face. Lol I know right? Pretty sure anyone who actually watches the show hates it as well. What's so bad about Lloyd's face? Sure, it looks nothing like the show's, but it's just there to show he's changed. VERY sad we'll never get the old face again though. Maybe a new version with his trademark grin and on the other side, a concentration "hurrr" face, both from the show? Edited November 24, 2015 by gamejutzu Quote
NinjaJayNuva Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) I was wondering if we will receive the Ninjago Skybound set images within this week, as many other themes have already received the set images. Edited November 24, 2015 by NinjaJayNuva Quote
8BrickMario Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 The problem with Nya's most recent face is that it's not hers. It's a generic City face. Quote
benderisgreat Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 The problem with Nya's most recent face is that it's not hers. It's a generic City face. Yeah, and Nya had a double sided face in 2014 line(2015 one has Samurai X print, so it's not usable for ninja Nya). Strange that Lego decided to use generic City face, when they had perfectly normal Nya face from before. Or maybe they will surprise us and use normal Nya head. I mean we haven't seen her face from new sets yet, so everything is possible. Quote
DuckBricks Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 I was wondering if we will receive the Ninjago Skybound set images within this week, as many other themes have already received the set images. Sadly, probably not as they weren't in the original photo release (as well as Elves) which leads me to believe a March release is more likely (that and the Hagenmans have stated that in the US, the show starts in March as well) Quote
LegendsOfNinjago Posted November 24, 2015 Author Posted November 24, 2015 But the UK should get them at the beginning of the year as stated by brickset. Quote
BricksrDamian2 Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Since the US gets the sets later I might just buy starwars and nexo knights sets than I'll buy ninjago if I have money Quote
gamejutzu Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) The problem with Nya's most recent face is that it's not hers. It's a generic City face. Huh, really? Wow, now that is a cheap move from LEGO. This is really making me want an improved Lloyd face though, or just give Lloyd his current expression more often in the show, since he is becoming a sensei anyway.

Mandate Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 The problem with Nya's most recent face is that it's not hers. It's a generic City face. That should have come as no surprise, LEGO is becoming notorious for needlessly reusing heads, but this is just plain ridiculous. The Samurai-gear variant was perfectly usable, or even the face they used in wave 2 from just last year. I hope we don't see the "new" one next year as well... Quote
gamejutzu Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 I hope we don't see the "new" one next year as well... Of course we won't. With the movie coming up, they wouldn't dare... Quote
Mandate Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Of course we won't. With the movie coming up, they wouldn't dare... The movie is nearly two years away. We've got no reason to believe they will change her face back, so it's entirely possible it will stay. Quote
NinjaJayNuva Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) Kai really does got a new face in the target cube box set! Someone on instagram bought it online and post it! Here is the link to that post : Do you guys think it will appears in the 2016 sets? Edited November 25, 2015 by NinjaJayNuva Quote

Here is the link to that post : Do you guys think it will appears in the 2016 sets? Nice find! And Kai is smiling? Finally a decent looking Kai face, though kinda looks like Lloyds old face it's still better than current one with the scar. Quote

Here is the link to that post : https://instagram.com/p/-fb7XMLQGN/ Do you guys think it will appears in the 2016 sets? I really like Kai's new face, but did they have to give him printed legs? It'll be easy to swap them out, but it was pretty pointless to give Kai printed legs when he didn't have any with that armor. Quote
gamejutzu Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Eh, it's alright, but WHY is it SO HARD to make faces completely identical to the show? To be special?? It'll be easy to swap the printed legs out, but it was pretty pointless to give Kai printed legs when he didn't have any with that armor. Maybe because it is just a nice little bonus? You could put it on zukin kai or original Kai as well as kendo Kai. Speaking of kendo Kai, has anyone tried adding the zukin kneepads to the kendo suits? I'm assuming they will look awesome. Poor Zane though, odd one out. Quote
Mandate Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Eh, it's alright, but WHY is it SO HARD to make faces completely identical to the show? To be special?? Why do they need to? As long as they're stupid changes like Nya's face or the weird alteration to Lloyd's face they did in Rebooted, it's perfectly fine. Maybe because it is just a nice little bonus? You could put it on zukin kai or original Kai as well as kendo Kai. It's still a pointless addition to an otherwise flawless (unless you liked Kai's scar) figure. Quote
gamejutzu Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) Why do they need to? As long as they're stupid changes like Nya's face or the weird alteration to Lloyd's face they did in Rebooted, it's perfectly fine. Because 1. It reminds me of Shadow of Ronin *shivers* and 2. since it inspired by the show, why not just go all the way and make it identical or near identical? And I'd have instead liked a scar in the show rather than a scarless Kai from now on. Why change it, y'know? Strange enough, later on in the future, Kai has NO eyebrow deformities at all. Strange. Lloyd's face isn't really that bad, it's actually pretty good. It shows he's more mature. I hope they use it in the show. (his mouth looks a bit off, but it's still good) Edited November 25, 2015 by gamejutzu Quote
