I always saw it as Lego trying too hard to chase after the Funko Pops crowd when they already have their own signature thing with minifigures but this theme has been around 2016 so apparently there's SOME sort of audience that keeps buying these.

Interestingly, Joachim Klang and his friends did something similar (and even called it 'Brick head') before Lego started the series. In fact, when I saw the first BrickHeadz sets, I was pretty sure this is where the inspiration came from 

Edit: an example (Spock from Star Trek) can be seen on their book's cover

It's a simple enough concept really but my first encounter with it would the Cube Dudes from 2009 made by Angus Maclane.  TLG did release some star wars cube dude sets but only as convention exclusives ( though they could pretty much be replicated with standard parts).

Thanks for reminding! Indeed, those Cube Dudes can be viewed as 'proto-BrickHeadz'. Although quite old, they still look nice in present days IMHO

I meant eyes that are normal to BrickHeadz, but printed on tan tiles with a black background.

So, as in, tan coloured eyes?

Now I'm quoting this as an excuse to ask some Doctor Who questions ( why here? Because I want to avoid the bias from asking it in a doctor thread and where better for off-topic non-sense than here?)

1- Do you know what Doctor Who is?

2- Do you watch Doctor Who?

3- Do you think a Doctor Who CMF next year is at all possible?

4- If you answered yes to 2 who is your favourite Doctor and what is your favourite episode.

1-Yes

2- Sometimes, not religiously though. My only religion is Jason Todd!

3- Sure I guess, it would be kinda cool 😎 

4- My favourite would be Matt Smith's Doctor. Episode I'll go for the one where he works together with David Tennant's Doctor and the secret doctor.

I mean I agree with the general premise that it shouldn't be the only thing she's known for, but I'm also not sure that it is the main thing she's known for. I think if you ask the average non-fan on the street what they know about WW, I can't imagine anyone's response would be "she killed that one guy"

There's a difference in Non-fan on the street and non-fan though. The rando on the street likely won't be able to name much more than the Lasso of Truth and Invisible jet, the non-fan who is big into Comics or related media but doesn't care about Wonder Woman seems to VERY frequently finds themselves trying to defend an adaptation within some Justice League based media that's quite controversial with people who are specifically WW fans and when backed in a corner about it they post that panel. I mean the conversation we're having sorta reinforces that point, neither of us are Wonder woman fans yet when we discuss the idea of her being defined by being a Warrior this is what we both go to.
 

From my personal experience when ever people get in debates over the characterisation of WW in Injustice, The JL cartoon or Snyderverse it's alwas that one panel and the one where she says "when I deal with my enemies I deal with them" being sent by haven't actually read her stories. TBC I'm not saying that not reading comics makes someone less of a DC fan or whatever, I haven't read any WW, I just wish people online stopped acting like they did to win pointless internet arguments. Not saying that's what your doing, we both seem to be on the same page as being Secondhandedly aware of this but not having experience with the specific stories ourselves.

I think it's very clear though a lot of comics discussion online is people liking an adaptation and going backwards to try find comics or out of context panels to justify calling their preferred adaptation the definitive version of it, so when a character has a misconception like this that adaptations reinforce it does become an overpowering consensus in any fandom circles.

[thephantasm]

The hardcore ww fans only want that george perez style ww, but its too niche for her to have a dedicated fanbase as big as bats and superman. Also ot doesnt really set her apart from superman in terms of character

 

Tho the first ww movie was a success notice how it leaned into the warrior angle

Sorry for the double post but idk how to reply to two quotes from different pages in the same message, it wouldn't work every time I tried
1 - Yes
2 - Yes
3 - Depends, the Tardis in that one lifestyle image did seem pretty damming but IDK how likely such a big branding deal would be done when despite all the talk about this being a big new beginning for the show there's no big increase in merchandising form Chibnall's era (We don't even know if the 3 Character options figures will come out, there was a rumour the Ruby one was Shelved a while back I remember) and despite the disney deal I've not really seen any big upswing in international relevancy like there was Smith. I admit though that last bit is anecdotal. I feel a CMF wouldn't happen now, maybe in time once the show gets more momentum but I feel a more likely option would be a mid range icons set of the Tardis like the ideas one or, more realistically a large build of it akin to the Telephone booth they do with at most two figures. Which is a shame, obviously a CMF gives more opportunity for more characters, especially as I imagine one would be like TLBM CMFs where 4 or 5 of them would be different Doctors as there a few humanoid characters who actually hold broad enough international appeal for LEGO to put in a CMF. If you could choose one character to put in a CMF who'd you choose?

Come to think of it a big brick build Dalek could be an icons set in the relatively near future. 

4 - Smith or Capaldi (both have far and away the most engaging performances for me, their doctors more than anyone are walking contradictions and the way their era's examine that is so endlessly meaty I find the most to revisit there) And while I struggle nailing down a favourite episode the one that's always in the top 3 for me is 'A Christmas Carol' It's got one of the show's tightest scripts amd all timer casting, direction, set design, score, pacing in a way that makes it stand as a near perfect hour of TV that requires no previous watches to get in it's entirety. That is as long as you can handle the CG sharks which all though the effect isn't great it's not like it's the worst in the world (The Henry Cavil Lipped Space Babies came 14 years later and are far more distracting), which is why it's my go to to show non-fans. It plays with such a overdone story in such a new way that fully breathes new life into it while also perfectly balancing an incredibly emotionally powerful story and one of the most overtly comedic Doctor performances in the show. The Ghost of Christmas Future scene is so heartbreaking and poignant that I fully consider it the show's best twist. Banger, proper banger it is

The Penguin show just got a release date, namely September. Still not sure what to think of the idea, as I’m really interested in this version of Batsy, but I’d rather they stick to movies (especially when HBO Max, sorry, MAX, is still unavailable in a lot of countries). I hope not seeing it has no bearing on The Batman II

Also, we should consider ourselves lucky they didn’t rename it to “The Penguin: The  Origin of one of Batman’s Villains” or some shit, like those baffoons did with the Alfred show

Not even the best penguin themed villain returning this year.

Behold! Oswald Cobblepot’s true master!

[legoturtle]

Very interesting to see Killer Crock in number 1 position.

I try to get that Minifigure, BIG one from TLBM. ... and by the way I have huge problems with my MOC. :/ ... I almost want to start doing my own. Not Shadow Box MOC :/

Those Comic-con exclusive blocky characters of C3PO,Boba Fett and others might have been the inspiration for Brickheadz

...right, forgot about Sky! Which is funny, because that's where I watched the Snydercut to see whether it was an improvement over Josstice League

Not only do I totally agree, I also propose to include Aardman's take on DC characters there. The series would be incomplete without these guys:

[RedHoodPug]

Alright top ten sets

1. 7783 Batcave. Don't own it but of the first sets that's the one I would like the most.

2. 75996 Aquaman and Storm SDCC - underrated in my mind.

3. 70907 Killer Croc Tail-Gator. Love all of it.

4. 70908 The Scuttler. A really imaginative build.

5. 70922 Joker Manor. I forgot about this set when discussing missing from the collection. It's mental and I love it.

6. 77906 Wonder Woman SDCC set. A really good diorama based on an iconic cover.

7. 76239 Batman Tumbler: Scarecrow Showdown. A really nice model for the scale. And we got that Scarecrow.

8. 76025 Green Lantern Vs Sinestro. When there was hope for the theme. Two non-Trinity characters in one set!

9. 76040 Brainiac Attack. I got Brainiac! Apparently quite rare.

10. Lex Luthor Mech Takedown. A really well designed mech that was very stable. Minifigure selection was great and the hope was back again.

[Gorilla94]

What even are those?!!
 

Why does Robin look like Beaker from Muppets??

Why does Joker look like an off brand Krusty?

Catwoman is the most normal looking for some reason.

I concur with @Lego Nostalgia. I’m not going to sleep well tonight.

Please let these people be the first on Feathers Mcgraw’s hit list.

@Gorilla94

@RedHoodPug

I am very sorry BUT your lists are NOT official.

 

 

 

 

 

RULES:

- there has to be 3 categories

- 10 in each catagory

- total 30 

 

You can not write... some polybags... for example. We are building highly complex RANKING SYSTEM. Only official qualified lists matter. (Please edit).

[BrickBob Studpants]

Someone is taking these lists a tiiiiiiiiiny bit too seriously  Not sure why they need to be „official“. Is this part of a plot for world domination or something?

[legoturtle]

The plan is to make a RANKING SYSTEM - where are 3 categories.
