GoldenNinja3000 Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 That's what I think we need in a second minifigure series- just those outfits for all those characters! Quote

I get it's more interesting if it's moving, but unless it's a rubber hairpiece, it should have no motion to it at all. They bent the rules in a couple ways in this movie (such as using multiple cowl designs with different expressions when animating Batman). It doesn't break the stop-motion illusion, but does imply the existence of part variations that just don't exist. I'm not sure how I feel about that—obviously these aren't the first non-existent parts to be used in this movie (or even The Lego Movie), considering things like how many other minor characters use unique hairpieces or headgear, but nonetheless it still feels a little like cheating, especially for a Lego fan who can recognize that those alternate cowls or hairpieces just don't exist in real life.

BrickG Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 The Lego Batman movie actually disappointed me a lot from an animation perspective. It just cheated ALL THE TIME. It made up pieces. It did articulation that was basically impossible or would look horrible from any other angle. The original Lego Movie cheated a bit but it wasn't nearly as much and I loved it for it. But the minifigures are amazing! I plan to collect most of them. Maybe not all the oddball guys... they really had to dig down for the most vague characters. Quote

I thought the cowl thing was done by altering the print under the eyeholes- just like the way his bandanna is printed with different eyes under the helmet- I didn't think the actual cowl shape changed.

No, even in one of the trailers you can see the brows on the cowl change shape. It's in the scene with Batman and Robin in the Batmobile. Edited February 21, 2017 by GoldenNinja3000 Quote

Back on topic, is the new faces Batman has in the Bane and Ultimate Batmobile sets on the same head? I hope not because that would mean more expressions! Quote

I noticed that Flash was a bit closer to the Super Heroes logo after I answered. Whatever it is it must still be on shelf. I'd probably guess at it not being a brick based set. Maybe a keyring torch?

SpiderMana Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 How deep is that packaging on top? It looks like there's some depth to the ones beneath the new frame/display. (I'm still guessing it's those, though.) Quote
Themadpatter Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 It's so annoying watching that clip and spotting the 5 or so villains we won't get unless they do a third wave Quote

BeKindRewind Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 It's been a while since this has been discussed, so please forgive me if the answer is somewhere 20 pages back. Does anyone know if either the Kiss Kiss Batman keychain or the Tiger Suit Batman will be sold in the US at any point? And has there ever been a keychain that wasn't also an actual minifig? I think the Kiss Kiss Batman may be a first. Quote

Mr Greeble Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 Does it annoy anyone else that they used an old Joker fig on the minifig frame? Quote
Vindicare Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 Okay, this is just way too strange. Just opened a brand new 70909. Started building and noticed there wasn't The Penguin or his henchmen. I checked the box to make sure there wasn't two "1" bags. Nope. I then looked at the other bags. Not a single minifig piece-ANY- are in here. At all. Seals weren't broken, bags are sealed and correct. I don't even know where to begin. Quote

Crafty thieves have been known to glue shut boxes and bags after stealing from them. I can't really see that being a production error, the chances of each bag being filled without its figure parts and then all those separate bags ending up in the same box is astronomically unlikely. Contact Lego Bricks & Pieces to explain the situation and get them to send replacements. Quote

It's never happened to me. The seals were taped over with near exact tape. Bags were carefully taped back up. It feels violating man... I just can't believe this. But, I am glad it was me who got it as opposed to some kid. They wouldn't understand. It leaves me wondering how aware retailers are of this...or how much they care.

8BrickMario Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 Oh, man, that's awful. I'm not sure how one is to handle this kind of thing, either. I hope you can get what you're missing. Quote
