    I modeled a minifigure in my highschool 3D modeling class for my final project. I can confirm that getting the shape of the arms right is one of the most difficult things. Took me 3 days to get the arms right and I got everything else done in 2 days. The fact the arms of these look as good as they do with the current part catalog is impressive to me.

    I do wish they had gotten the curves a bit smoother all over, but the hidden minifigure piloting it like a giant robot anime is delightful, and sort of justifies the chunkiness. Almost makes me want to make a modified one with some extra greebling to lean into the robot look.

    The upscale figures have definitely come a long way since that giant ant man from the civil war set. I could definitely see them making upscale figures for other classic/popular themes, like Ninjago and superheroes. I especially love the little detail in the hat. I hope future upscales keep the idea to have cute hiding places for the normal sized figure.

    I kinda wish they used the old cap design for the small minifigure but I think it's a retired part so I guess they didn't want to bring it out of retirement for one set, though I probably have one lying around in a minifig bin and they're quite cheap on Bricklink

    Only issue is the hat for two reasons:

    2. The hat is of the classic style (which I prefer) but the minifigure has the newer style

    Talk to your old LEGO buddies and get them to keep making upscaled figures like this. I would imagine upscaling old castle/space figures would do quite well for them, or just any old city figs. I've built one of these already, from my initial purchase of two, and I just ordered two more, these are so amazing.

  • @danielpeters9680

    Thanks Tiago. Great review... and I totally agree. If lego started producing popular characters in this Up-Scaled Minifigure format, people would go nuts for them. Personally I would love to see Benny, Emmett, Wyldstyle or any of the Ninjago characters up-scaled. Star Wars or Marvel characters would certainly fly off the shelves.

    I don’t think making them a collectible series would quite work out.
    1. They are a pretty big and would need a lot of space so it would be hard to keep a lot.
    2. Although $50 isn’t a lot for a Lego set it starts to stack up if you want a proper collection.
    3. People will want to have their favourite characters and because of the licensing they will cost more so the cheap aspect won’t factor.
    4. They are all basically the same building experience so it would stop being fun after a couple sets.
    5. Having the minifigure in the head is pretty neat, but the minifigure itself will always be cheaper than buying the whole set.
    6. A lot of minifigures have details that will be hard to recreate with bricks so the end product won’t be as good.
    7. Having a lot lined up imo would look a bit weird.
    8. A lot of minifigures have distinctive accessories which wouldn’t look so good brick-built and would also up the price.
    9. Most minifigures don’t wear hats so it would be hard to pull off the compartment and make look good.
    10. Brickheads didn’t do so well themselves, so I’d say that most LEGO fans would rather spend their money on a normal set rather than a gigafigure collection.
    I still think that they are pretty cool and having one or two might make a nice addition to a display but I fell like most LEGO fans wouldn’t be interested in collecting all the gigafigures.

  • @arghjayem

    03:24 I agree. Upscaled Minifigures would be an awesome theme! I didn’t know this set existed till I stumbled across a MOC design on rebrickable that use this set and the Venomised Groot set to create a minifigure that has a venom symbiote coming out of it. With the Spider-Man mask set coming out next year, you could possibly use all three sets (plus some extra pieces) to create an upscaled minifigure version of Ben Reilly’s Spider-Man w/venom symbiote (Reilly’s spider man costume and mask is much simpler, no web patterns. Plus it’s has red arms/legs and a blue torso perfectly suited to be adapted from the upscaled figure set. Only thing that would need changing is the hands to red but that’s easy to do…

    • @jardex2275

      The one thing may be the display presentation. From what I've seen, the adult targeted sets look different, and are displayed in a separate area than the City and Friends sets. By how this looks, this will likely be shelved in the kid isle, where adults may miss it entirely. On that same point, I'm not sure if kids will be drawn to this particular set over the City and Ninjago sets.
