I think the problem with the clone wars minifigures is that they're in the uncanny valley. They look more realistic, but Lego kept the noseless design, which doesn't mesh with the more detailed eyes and mouths. I think merely printing a nose on the figures would've fixed a lot of the problems
Yeah, It's one of the figures that are most like the source material. While I don't find it appealing, it accomplishes its purpose better more recent stuff. They can only use the big fig frame for so many things, honestly. A unique piece like this is good.
I know, I kind of like it, it's weird and wacky, and although a bit ugly, it's still cool. Only thing wrong is the weird feet molding, and the little rectangles on the chest. And it is a troll, so isn't ugly sort of the point?
For those who were wondering "lady with legs" is actually in the LEGO studios "Scary Laboratory" but in that set she has a skirt and not legs, so when they re-released her in the set mentioned in the video she is called lady with legs because LEGO replaced her skirt with standard minifigure legs.
The wolfman is an actual character from the 1941 movie and is almost 100% accurate. Also the cloth thing is a skill issue, I’ve never had problems with them.
3:06 the left version is based on the animated clone wars series. Therefore the creepy eyes. Many other figures based on the clone wars series share this.
That Series with the Wolf Man was meant to be based on the old movies where yes the werewolf looked more like a hairy man with bad teeth, not our modern day werewolves.
Yeah, he says "..looking like cheap rubber mask, though that could've been the point I guess" but it's literally from a Lego Studios set with the "stuntman" head. It was definitely the point and it's painfully obvious it was supposed to a be a campy oversized wolf costume, ala B-rate horror flicks.
“In the early SW set, LEGO didn’t want to risk making unique molds for characters they may never ever use again.” Sounds reasonable. I think they did well with what they had.
I also kind of prefer the aesthetic of those older sets. It makes it feel like something star wars themed built out of Lego instead of everything being perfect because the pieces were literally molded for one purpose.
2:43 "Those vacant lifeless eyes stare directly into your soul." To be fair, if you read up on Mundi, he's actually one of the most soulless Jedi in Star Wars. The dude's species is extremely rare, so he was allowed to marry and have children to keep his people going. His wife and all of his children were killed and he basically went "Eh." Guy's a psychopath.
The Harry Potter had many weird figures in its early years. The old Snape had glow in the dark skin, which might look cool, but as far as I know Snape doesn’t have bio-luminescent skin. The old versions of Wormtail were also very bizarre, giving him a wiry moustache and a monk-style bowl cut. They also had a Trelawney figure that looked nothing like what we see in the film, although it’s probably because the designers only had concept art to work off.
I could see the Bionicle minifigs being kinda cool statue pieces in a build it's funny to think of them used for play, although I use to play with Skylander figures and they had a huge baseplate so maybe it's not too farfetched.
If I had a nickel for every time Lego made a strange, droidlike adaptation of an obscure podracer pilot in the 2000s, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
Small addendum, the reason the ki adi mundi (and all the other figs in that era of lego star wars in general) looks so weird and bad is cause they're based on the cartoon series and not the movies. The reason his beard looks that way is because they tried to translate the style of his beard in the cartoon to a minifig and somehow didn't realise it doesn't work
I gotta step in to defend the second wolfman. Actually, this is the PERFECT representation of the character. This isn't just some werewolf that looks like a more monsterous fursona, this is THE wolfman. A specific character from a movie, where he looked pretty much exactly like this. A hairy human with fangs and an animalistic snout
You know not the wave of nostalgia that hit me when I saw Lego Galaxy Squad, I had completely forgot I had some of those sets. I really wanna go back now.
6:24 This one feels like cheating. It's not that is a bad minifigure or a bad design, it looks like the character. It's just that people don't care about that character
I bet the bionicle minifigs would work well as statues, either all of one color lined up in some weird fantasy build, down some like elvish hall idk, or used in like an art museum build as modern art sculptures
The Ki Adi from the first set was in the 2008 CW computer animated series style, that's why he looks a bit odd. He's very accurate to that particular style though. The second set wasn't in that specific art style.
It should be noted that the wolfman actually has an almost sasquatch like head with wolf features, while werewolves are the generic (although cool) designs we've learned. It's actually incredibly common to accidentally expect them to be interchangeable.
I love that series 4 wolfman. But wolfman and werewolf have always been a different way of presenting essentially the same creature, and that figure captures the classic Hollywood wolfman very well.
Crazy putting those werewolf ones on there. The first one is an absolute classic amd one of my favorite minifigure parts. 2nd one is a great representation of the specific type of Wolfman they were trying to capture.
7:53 is based on the ogs 1940s/50s films, where the werewolf themselves just looks like bigfoot than a werewolf, you're obviously doesn't know about this so I rate this video 6.5/10
I have like 20 of those Harry Potter troll heads. I bought a ton of them in the late 2000s from bricklink for use in a zombie stop motion I never finished
The funniest part about the yellow spaceman is they didn't even need to put a tan head and break the yellow skin trope. They just had to put a brown head to depict a black guy. Problem solved
I noticed in my Mandolorian Fang Fighter vs TIE interceptor set that the instructions bags 1-3 for the Fang, and bags 4-7 for the TIE. the weird part is when you realize that there are 8 bags included in the set. The TIE actually uses bags 4-8
I just happened to rebuild my Werewolf Ambush set yesterday. I think that the 'bad rubber mask' look is... I wouldn't say deliberate but a happy accident.
"look at the figure thats based on the clone wars show and now look at the character how he appears in the movie. wow they dont look alike" who wouldve guessed
Fun fact about the classic yellow space man. In Lego worlds, any minifigs you discover can be used to mix and matched with another minifigs to make your own custom avatar. However the classic yellow space man's legs have to be hacked into the game in order to use. Because they don't show up. You can't even play as him either
I remember and really liked the Studio sets. I still have one. It was a bank heist with an exploding vault, if I remember right. It's been in storage for quite a few years, so I haven't looked at it in a while, but it's something a long those lines. I wanted more of the sets but never got any.
I get many of these, but the Palpatine figure looks exactly like the character does in the animated series. Saying they could have designed it "a bit differently" just doesn't cut it here. Clone Wars figures all looked wacky, but this was probably one of the most accurate ones in all of the themes lifespan
They should have given that first Ki Adi Mundi minifigure a gnome beard. Also, I found a 'The Mandalorian' Din Djarin minifigure in a lego lot from a thrift store, and the helmet alone is worth more than the figure. I'm going to keep it, as I don't have the heart to separate the figures pieces to resell.
I had that Harry Potter troll Lego set as a kid. I never really thought much of the troll dude. I thought it was ok, but the set itself isn’t that exciting for me. I think my grandma was the one who bought it for me for Christmas, altho it was something that I never asked for at all.
I had one of the bionicle playsets as one of my first very own set and the figures were always some of my favorites. Looking back it was probably just because I liked the colors
7:59 That's meant to look like the classic movie monster werewolf Which I like this design I thought the previous design had a cute head sculpt but it had no detail But this one is super cool and the other ones after this are also really cool But I think they were going with the classic movie monsters version with this one
Ron and Hermione look like they have Roblox faces.
Thanks giggler
Omg screech
lol fr
Screech spoke the truth
Lego _is_ Roblox's main inspiration so I suppose that makes sense

Man people will say anything's in the uncanny valley nowadays lol
That's literally not the uncanny valley
How was the original troll universally hated? Twenty three years later and it is still the most accurate depiction of the character.
Yeah, It's one of the figures that are most like the source material. While I don't find it appealing, it accomplishes its purpose better more recent stuff. They can only use the big fig frame for so many things, honestly. A unique piece like this is good.
First time seeing the Troll figure and I can't figure out why it would be hated.
Amen!
It wasn't everyone loved it there was nothing else like it. The set is older than this dude lmao
I know, I kind of like it, it's weird and wacky, and although a bit ugly, it's still cool. Only thing wrong is the weird feet molding, and the little rectangles on the chest. And it is a troll, so isn't ugly sort of the point?
The wolfman isn't just any werewolf, but a specific character that does look like the minifig.
For those who were wondering "lady with legs" is actually in the LEGO studios "Scary Laboratory" but in that set she has a skirt and not legs, so when they re-released her in the set mentioned in the video she is called lady with legs because LEGO replaced her skirt with standard minifigure legs.
That Ki Adi Mundi is based on the clone wars dude, they all had the weird eyes
It’s prolly rage bait
@@DashSpiderJumpscaresspitbrix does his videos as best as he can and wouldn't do that kind of thing
He addresses the whole large eyes clone wars thing later in the video, should have watched the whole thing
It still looks bad even if it's based on the animated series
@@MonsterTaming420it just feels weird to single out Ki-Adi-Mundi in particular
The wolfman is an actual character from the 1941 movie and is almost 100% accurate. Also the cloth thing is a skill issue, I’ve never had problems with them.
This is not based on a movie . But actually minifigure isn’t bad
@@AznaurNagoevit is from a movie. thats literally what “lego studios” was
@AznaurNagoev You are a dumbas if you think otherwise dude
@@AznaurNagoevhave you really ever heard of Lon Chaney's wolfman? that's actually kinda sad.
@@KevinC2793 yep , but this werewolf aren’t Lon Chaney . It’s just a werewolf
3:06 the left version is based on the animated clone wars series. Therefore the creepy eyes. Many other figures based on the clone wars series share this.
I agree. Comparing cw Ki-Adi to an image of him from the movies was a little unjust
Fact
2 weeks too late, good catch
She was called the lady with legs because she had an alternate figure with the slope piece as legs.
That Series with the Wolf Man was meant to be based on the old movies where yes the werewolf looked more like a hairy man with bad teeth, not our modern day werewolves.

Ron and Hermione look like they just popped a perc
2:16 Ron has the munchies
I can see a potential use for those Bionicle minifigs - statues in an alien city or museum or tomb to go with a space-themed MOC
I thought they were cool
I think they look kind of tasty
yep
7:28 Well, they’re not wrong. She does have legs.
I actually quite like the First Order Crewmember minifigure, specifically the the headpiece
And the torso works well for Inquisitors!

Ron is off that good kush and alcohol
He never came up with that haircut sober.
the little bionicle all look like the chad meme
2:21 are Ron and Hermione mewing in ‘05?
Nah, they are wasted af😂
If I had a nickel for every time Lego made a strange, droidlike adaptation of an obscure podracer pilot in the 2000s, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
ill hold a memorial for our lost pod racing brothers from the hood. get rich or gameend trying

2:41 the hilt!!!
Exactly bro, can’t stand when the hilt is upside down
Amen brotha!
8:02 That's because it was probably a reference to the 1941 classic movie monster "the Wolfman."
These minifigures might become rare in the future 😜
2:16 when you forgot to Hufflepuffpuff pass the splifindor
Lady With Legs implies the existence of Lady Without Legs.
The faces of the Clone Wars minifigures still haunt my dreams to this day...
1:25 the original lego minifigure for him looks more like the wander over yander parody of him in the time bomb episode 💀
I just knew Galador was gonna be somewhere on this list
dang i still have that troll too with the head in great condition.. 60 dollars? wow....im not sure if mine still has the brown clothing for it
0:36 goofy ahh spider droid creature
P sure it’s supposed to be sebulba
This video should come with a warning: "nightmare material" 😂
You know not the wave of nostalgia that hit me when I saw Lego Galaxy Squad, I had completely forgot I had some of those sets.
I really wanna go back now.
That troll is great actually
6:24 This one feels like cheating.
It's not that is a bad minifigure or a bad design, it looks like the character. It's just that people don't care about that character
to be fair, it IS a bad design, as are most sequel things.
@@JJ-ly3vy But that isn't sn objective critique
I really don't understand the hate against the old HP troll minifig.

This is why toys should be toys and not merch for movies.
I love Gasgano's pod racer in the movie, the N64 game, and even the Lego set, but man was I disappointed in that minifig.
9:48 genuine SKILL ISSUE. Idk why i see people struggling with this easy asf
I have like 20 of those Harry Potter troll heads. I bought a ton of them in the late 2000s from bricklink for use in a zombie stop motion I never finished
That werewolf tail is smart, by the looks of it it can be raised or lowered for different moods by just turning it around. Nice!
Hate to defend Ki Adi Mundi but that figure was done in the creepy Lego clone wars style
Now I want to collect specifically all these mini figs! ❤😊
9:06 I could see some used for those figs. Because of their odd appearance they could be the Seven Enemies of Man in a Rock of Eternity MOC.
2:46 the minifig of this era where inspired by the artstyle of the clone wars tv show
This is an awesome video, I learned a lot about Lego 🎉🎉 Subscribed!
The funniest part about the yellow spaceman is they didn't even need to put a tan head and break the yellow skin trope. They just had to put a brown head to depict a black guy. Problem solved

I have that troll and used the head for zombies
"look at the figure thats based on the clone wars show and now look at the character how he appears in the movie. wow they dont look alike" who wouldve guessed
Universal agreement on #1. I still remember when you could get that Cordyceps victim in McDonald's

i was so afraid you weren't gonna mention the BIONICLE minifigs, those things are _wild_
" just look at Ron, this guy needs some sleep"
LOL. the book that one was based on is the one where he literally doens't get any sleep.
Bro I have VIVID memories of that troll minifig lol, that thing was crazy.
The unsettling clone wars minifigures are all based upon the animated series and is why they all look like that
I remember and really liked the Studio sets. I still have one. It was a bank heist with an exploding vault, if I remember right. It's been in storage for quite a few years, so I haven't looked at it in a while, but it's something a long those lines. I wanted more of the sets but never got any.
Don't forget Exoforce had some weird goggle eyed minifigs too.
I love how the star wars pod racers were just recycled battle droid parts and whatever else they could find

That Harry Potter troll looks sick. Why do people not like it?
I had that Mos Epsa pod race set brand new when I was a kid. That cursed figure is very familiar.
I remember the lego studios stuff literally only because they used it in a game that's probably also been forgotten, Lego Rock Band.
you should have mentioned the Hagrid with realistic hands i have that one and it is just disturbing
Lego learned to not print big, detailed, colored eyes, and to stick with the black dot with a white dot in the edge of the dot
8:00 perfectly acceptable wolfman-type werewolf imo, looks fine
I don’t know how you haven’t hit your 1 million subs yet your awesome bro
i always hated the clone wars faces
Yeah the faces they printed for the clone wars line did always look cursed
Those cheap minifigures are super cool though, great for any paramilitary or security representation
Ron and Hermione look like they've been stoned out of their mind for an hour
5:15 Donald Trump looking ah😭
(No hate towards him)
That's the great thing about that spaceman
*Megablox, legos competition, laughing and enjoying this*

Wolf man and werewolf are 2 different things, the wolf man minifig makes sense.

7:59
That's meant to look like the classic movie monster werewolf
Which I like this design I thought the previous design had a cute head sculpt but it had no detail
But this one is super cool and the other ones after this are also really cool
But I think they were going with the classic movie monsters version with this one
3:13 fits his personality though 😂
The Ron and Hermione figures look like Alternates from the Mandela Catalogue
That doesn’t look like a werewolf, in looks like a humanoid rat 😂😂😂
Weren't the 3-stud-wide Bionicle figures for the Bionicle board games, and the 2x2-base figures were the ones for the Bionicle buildable playsets?
Both were for playsets.
The simple monopose statues were in the first wave/series, the more complicated/posable ones were from the second.
