pittpenguin123 Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 -snip- From Lego FB. That looks good. Those goggles on hair interest me. Quote
wesker Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 She definitely has Sabine's face. I actually don't mind though since it suits her much more than it did Sabine. Quote

karmajay Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) I hope that turns into a poster I can purchase! Edited April 14, 2016 by karmajay Quote
Chilly_Productions Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 0 new pieces. Reused pieces. Not happy.. The figures might be place holders. Quote
La Chupacabra Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 Placeholders on official LEGO FB site... Really ? Quote
just2good Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 I'm feeling like these are early versions, or as Sci said, place holders. In the recent years, LEGO has been super protective of showing off new licensed minifigures because bootleggers copy the designs. Hence why minifigures on boxes are blacked out at Toy Fairs (even though they're there in person) and in catalogs and whatnot. Quote
deskp Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) Reminds me off the early versions we saw for prince of persia. Edited April 14, 2016 by deskp Quote
CM4Sci Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) Reminds me off the early versions we saw for prince of persia. Early? I'd love to add that to my folder of LEGO prelim stuff. E: Wow that is early - thank god that hair piece was introduced even if it's reused. I want a new ponytail for Jyn, I love new ponytail pieces. With bangs in front. I feel like a different hair could work for the guy in the back right, too. I'm sure we'll see a few new pieces with these guys. They're not.. that bad. Edited April 14, 2016 by CM4Sci Quote
Artizan Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 they really messed up with Diego Luna's hair color. earth orange, really? Quote
Pulp Detective Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 Hopefully those aren't the final designs. And btw does anyone know a more fitting face for Jyn?? Quote
Junior Shark Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 Are the torso prints new? Yeah, those torso prints are most definitely new. But that's no indication those are the official ones. If we got trans-clear goggles on a mini figure, I would be over-the-moon ecstatic. Quote
HawkLord Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 I think they work really well even without new pieces. Prints and faces would be good enough for me. Quote
Tariq j Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 The guy in the background really looks like Mac from Indiana Jones Quote
Chilly_Productions Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) The guy in the background really looks like Mac from Indiana Jones Now I know what I'll be doing if I get that minifigure. Edited April 14, 2016 by Chilly_Productions Quote
Junior Shark Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 I just don't know what to think about the poster. On the one hand, there's: - The goggles attached directly to the hair. That's an illegal connection. - The samurai dude to the right has a recolored Jek-14 head. ?!? - Diego Luna's incredibly wrong hair. On the other hand: - Those prints look pretty legit. Not legit "cool", but legit as in plausible. - Red-armored dude's FO Flametrooper-style backpack attachment. That seems like the most sensible way to have that on a minifigure. My internal jury's still out as to whether or not Lego would actually re-use Han's pants. Quote
DarthPotato Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 I think, other than the hair-goggle combo, none of these characters really need new molds, so I'd be fine if these were real. However, I do agree that they're probably placeholders because of the replicated parts (Han's pants, Sabine's head, Jek 14's head in a different skin tone). It's weird that LEGO put this out so early though. It gives me hope that they won't be as secretive with these sets as they were with the ones from The Force Awakens. Quote
Zergos Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 Recolored jek 14 head? Oooo I like it!!! Though I doubt these are the final figures. Quote
Venkefedo Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 Remember, this is just a CG illustration... like the Lego "cast readthru" pic from TFA. Diego's hair color is wrong (and the hair seems to be a mirrored "short tousled" Mutt/Old Man Han hair), but maybe it'll kill some of the "He's Biggs!" rumors... Jyn's hair should be dark brown, not reddish brown... lots of other problems of various types, of course. Aside from maybe some of the torso prints, I'm not sure this'll reflect much of what we see in the official sets at all. They can make better choices for a lot of 'em; armored-backpack guy might do better with Thorin hair, or black Qui-Gon hair. I wouldn't mind seeing the Hoth Hat in that sand blue or whatever it is... Bottom line, fun illustration, but probably not very representative of what we'll see in the official sets. Quote
Brickr Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 Other sites have described this as 'fan art' that leg have put on their fb page, so may explain all the reused parts. Excellent quality rendering though! Quote
CM4Sci Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 Can't be fan art because that's the same quality rendering and style as the posters they make for movies and stuff Quote
Chilly_Productions Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 Can't be fan art because that's the same quality rendering and style as the posters they make for movies and stuff Why can't fans make great quality CGI models? Quote
