Maple Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 They will be normal minifigures as LEGO retired the long legs. August 2021 Quote “One of the things that we like about Darth Vader is that he’s not taller than the other characters,” Jens says. “But he’s also kind of funny-looking because he isn’t taller. And that’s LEGO. That’s how it’s supposed to be. I don’t think we’re going to change that. “We will constantly update characters from time to time, like printing and maybe new elements and so on. But we’ll always have the LEGO DNA, so it’s simplified a little bit, and the humour and fun should always be in it.” Quote

The longer extremities on the Toy Story 3 minifigs only worked because they had oversized heads. Try putting on normal-sized heads and you’ll see how horrific and cursed that looks And no, the new bigfig head introduced with last year’s Thanos fig doesn’t improve the look in the slightest Quote
Maple Posted January 14, 2022 Posted January 14, 2022 I still think LEGO should make new longer legs, nothing too out there, just slightly longer. I don't think children will care if the humans and the blue elves are the same height thought. I don't care at all for the movie coming out, but have high hopes for some interesting pieces. Quote
Mr No Posted January 14, 2022 Author Posted January 14, 2022 Another mobile game has been revealed, a mmo shooter. Avatar Reckoning. There is another called Avatar Pandora Rising which is like clash of clans and the Ubisoft Avatar Frontiers of Pandora videogame. It's clear Disney and Lightstorm Entertainment are going to promote this movie hard. Quote
Lion King Posted January 14, 2022 Posted January 14, 2022 Is Avatar theme really on the way? I’m kinda skeptical about this. Quote

It‘s the „My Friends… And Zoidberg“ trope The joke is that you name a group and then a person separately, implying they‘re not part of that group. The way you stated it, the sentence could be read as you implying that Greekbricks isn’t reliable Quote

In other words, I’m not talking about normal minifigure torso or legs. I actually think most of the Pandora aliens will be brickbuilt with maybe some small ones as molded creatures. Depends on how many we get, I expect a set baaed on a beach hut of the Na'vi, one of those plesiosaur aliens but brick built, the crab mech, an RDA ship and an AMP suit. Depends on how many sets we get but this theme has lots of potential. I hope we get a gooe mix to get this theme started strong. Quote

It would be cool to see blue-skinned aliens (i forgot the name of that tribe) coming in a new mold like minifigures. But i do think dragon-like creature would be a brick-built creature for sure.

Mr No Posted January 18, 2022 Author Posted January 18, 2022 (edited) If Quaritch is not back as a human in the sequels but as an avatar, still no idea how they bring him back, I hope they do a set based on the final battle from the first movie to get a minifig of him.

If they really plan to have him as the main villain for all four of the sequels, he better be more than just a simple greedy human I hope he comes back as more of a mystical/supernatural threat, like an evil parasitic counterpart to the symbiotic link the Na‘vi share with their environment Quote

Moon_Knight Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) I just really hope they use the same hairpiece with the ears attached (https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=10066pb01#T=C) that's in @Mr No's profile pic. If the Na'vi look anything like that in minifig form, I'm game. Edited January 25, 2022 by Moon_Knight Quote

I could honestly see them doing a nose. The na'vi have catlike features and catlike minifigures that have been released with noses in the past (CMF Lion from Wizard of Oz, CMF Cat Costume Girl). Anything's possible, though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Quote

BrickBob Studpants Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 They only seem to feature a character‘s nose if it‘s an essential element to their design, like in Dobby‘s case The noses of the Na‘vi aren‘t pronounced enough to justify them being part of their minifig designs IMO Quote
