I really hope lego keeps using this skin tone for Steve, it's crazy how the line has been going on for nearly 10 years and yet the main figure hasn't been truly accurate!
Yes he has, it's okay to be white, it's not racist, in the files their is "Steve" "Black Steve" (the one your trying to make him be), stop. He's also in the desert, maybe he just has sunburn. I won't buy this LEGO Set, he's been the correct skin tone for years, I don't want that messed up. He's white.
It’s great that it isn’t just a reprint of the llama but it is to small to accommodate 2 figures like in game and the legs should be around twice as long as they are
The blue is one of the eye variants you can choose in the bedrock edition character customizer, but i think the lego sets are based on java, so it is probably representing insomnia; hence the phantom.
The blue on Steve’s face is the dark circles under one’s eyes that they get from exhaustion. Steve has been traveling the desert via camel for days, unable to rest, as he set up a small tent for a little bit of coverage for the night, and a campfire to keep him warm he hears a screeching noise from above. Startled by what he sees, he grabs his weapon to fend off the terrors from above. Will he survive the night, or will the remains of a smoldering campfire and a ramshackle tent be the only sign that someone has ventured so far into uninhabitable territory?
Nobody knows what will happen to our brave adventurer as he is waken up by the screech of a deathly creature. A phantom! The dangerous creature of night flaps it’s wings over Steve’s small tent.You decide what happens to him!!
I wish that the set included a cartography table. It would have been relevant to Steve’s “expedition”, and would have been much more interesting than just another crafting table.
So much innovation in a tiny little set! I do wonder if Steve will keep that new skin tone- it looks really good but i fear its exclusive to this new guy 😔
Very excited for this set, mostly because of the phantom. The camel is nice too though. Cheap sets are basicly the only thing i get so i love it when they have interesting mobs.
I was under the impression that the face was wearing some sort of goggles to brave the desert winds, kind of like in Pokemon. But the phantom expression makes sense
Are you going to switch out the cacti in the lego minecraft world with the newer design? I think it would look great. Also you should definitely add the camel to the desert village module!
Definitely will be adding the camel and some of the other 2024 features to the world! I'll make a little update video about it like I did from the summer 2023 sets :)
It's been about 20 minutes since I watched this video and only now do I decide to comment 😂 I was looking at Lego Steve minifigures on eBay and then I saw this set which caught my eye and I was examining the Steve minifigure and I was like "What the heck is this?". I was wondering why the skin was slightly darker but more importantly, I was so confused why he looked so goofy and what the hell that blue thing was. At first, I thought the *exact* same things as you did, a mask or goggles or glasses. After reading the comments in this video, I finally understood what the blue was and overtime when I was looking at the images of this ineteresting minifigure it eventually became normal looking. Something that I forgot to mention: A few minutes after I had originally saw it, I decided to recreate it as an actual Minecraft skin.
@@CheeseyStudiosI picked the set up today and it’s a pretty good one. Although I don’t really like the cactus and the campfire. Everything else’s about it is great. Lego Minecraft is evolving
hi cheesey :) I love the spooked, chilled, I-shouldet-have-walked-in-on-that exaggerated animi face that Steve is making, I love how lego is really pulling from eminent animations trailers on the skin textures. imo this is the best set of the wave. its just so fun looking and cozy to play with. this is lego at its finest
@@CheeseyStudios agreed and on that note I think the face paint probably represents how tribes have pain on there faces it’s probably something like that
Oh my god, the blueish purple is supposed to be night vision and the expression is because that now he can see in the dark he now notices the phantom!😮
@@CheeseyStudios a little hard to explain when you didn't show the tent from the front. I've seen many people build the wood that holds the tent non symmetrically
@CheeseyStudios I'm not sure if it's gonna be a regular thing since it was part of a special week-long promotion at target so 30% off, which feels not the norm.
I absolutely love this set and it’s a must pick up with that adorable camel and a phantom (didn’t pick up the sky tower). Although I don’t must say I’m not here for the new cactus not that it isn’t an improvement, it is but ibe been spoiled with you design, great job Caleb👏 ❤
Will absolutely be picking up this set when it's out, the smaller MC sets are absolutely some of the best smaller LEGO sets they're making right now. Also, the thumbnail for this video really jumped out as being great!
to me the blue on Steve's face is the spit from the lama (or in that case the camel) and therefore his surprised expression. at least it is a funnier theory IMO.
1:10 Wait, I wasn't even thinking about effects.. I know I can't be alone in having interpreted the blue on Steve's face print to just be Camel spit? 🐪
I think that blue is what you get if you dont sleep because there is a phantom and they only spawn if u havent slept in 3 days and Steve doesnt have a bed.
The blue color on his face is surely him being either scared of the Phantom(s) spawning, or him just having insomnia, which still connects to Phantom spawning lol
The camel head being a new piece despite the minimal differences instead of a llama piece recolour gives me hope that they may do the same for foxes going forward rather than reusing the cat head piece like before.
I'm a casual fan of the Minecraft Lego sets, but not my primary investment in Lego sets; however, these smaller sets scratch the itch for my appreciation of Minecraft. This one was my favorite announced set of the January way. I can't wait to get and add to the rest of the miniature sets I own.
You really can never go wrong with the small sets. They've had so much variety, too! The underwater one, the plains one, the mangrove swamp, and now a desert!
Love this set to bits am definitely getting a couple of these. That steve is pretty nice with the more accurate skincolour and goofy face. Now i just want the default steve with it. That phantom is whatever. Its one of my personal favorite mobs to fight in the game so getting some more is nice. That camel is pretty cool too, even though i dont care much for it in game. The little build is pretty neat too will go nicely with the desert village set, extend its little market a bit
I fully agree that the $10 lego sets are the best ones. They don't leave a hole in my pocket and they include awesome figures and fun builds. I can't wait for this set to come out
Since I saw the set I just figured the blue were either tears or some kawaii/anime fear marks idk. Love this cheap easy access of the camel. Maybe not too sure about the campfire redesign but I am fond of the cactus design!
I think the blue on his face might signify Steve looking pale from fear of the literal nightmare eating him from the skies. After orange + blue is a light grey so maybe a bit over toned, but still.
At this point I’m starting to think someone is in kahoots with both Minecraft and Lego for these sets. I wouldn’t be surprised if designs were already prepared for all 3 mob vote mobs ahead of time.
I love the camel and redesign of Steve but there are a few things that are a bit off like the $11 price instead of $10 also the camel is short and lastly the bracket on the phantom is black instead dark blue otherwise a nice set
i honestly don't mind the one dollar increase in price, i don't exactly know how hard it is to make new prints but i doubt they'll ever reuse that steve insomnia/fear/idk face print again.
Awesome review! I like the new cactus design, and while it might be a bit much for a $11 set, it would be neat if the front of it had printed tiles that mimicked what it looks like in the game. Also, I couldn't help but think that the enchanted tools be so much cooler if they were marbled with purple and the color of the base item. It would be a lot more game accurate too.
the blue detail is not glass, its an "emotion" since Phantom is attacking him, hes scare out of his mind, hes shocked to see the phantom hes basically this emote😨
i think the blue on his face is meant to be scared because of the phantom also when i type scared on my phone this emoji pops up: 😨 and it looks pretty similar to steve's face in the set
Anime characters get wide eyed with tiny pupils and blue accents around their eyes when they get goosebumps / chill runs down their spines because they got scared.
Maybe? If it was printed on a 2x4 tile tile that would be pretty limiting though, as there would only be one decorated side, and all my cacti would have to be 2 blocks tall
I really like this set. I hope lego stops making random minecraft skins, I think they should start making all the default skins with different variations of faces , like here with steve.
I really hope lego keeps using this skin tone for Steve, it's crazy how the line has been going on for nearly 10 years and yet the main figure hasn't been truly accurate!

Yeah that's so great ! I wish they did that for the fox too (,:
@@darkpheonix7055 it's a baby camel!
@@bewilderbeastie8899 Either way it would be wrong then as the piece did the head is way too big for a baby camel

I think the blue on Steve's face symbolizes the fact that he's so scared of the Phantom
Perhaps, perhaps 🤔
It could also be that he's super tired and that's why the phantom is there

I hope that sticks around too! I suppose we'll find out for sure this summer
If I'm not wrong the new Minecraft polybag also has a Steve with the same skin tone and a normal Minecraft head piece
i really like how the camel isnt either too big or too small, it just fits the minifig perfectly
It's a really fun critter. They did a great job with it!
but it’s too small?
@@vast9467 it says on the box "baby camel"

Very excited for this set, mostly because of the phantom. The camel is nice too though. Cheap sets are basicly the only thing i get so i love it when they have interesting mobs.
So good to have the Phantom back in an affordable set!
Steve is my favorite 2024 minifigure already his expression looks like he forgot about his car’s extended warranty
I was under the impression that the face was wearing some sort of goggles to brave the desert winds, kind of like in Pokemon. But the phantom expression makes sense
It definitely had me fooled at first too. Not a perfect figure by any means, but I appreciate what they were trying to do
The blue on Steve's face could be fear or representing exhaustion from the heat.
Good ideas! I bet those could be what they were going for

That camel makes me want to keep on living. So does your channel, great video! 👍

You convinced me im going to check it out for myself in my local lego store
Pretty good set to be so cheap, the camel and the modified steve definitely makes me want to buy it
Did you end up getting this one?

The blue part of his face is part of a scared expression, kind of like a cold feet type of fear/dread often used in very old cartoon or modern anime
That might be right, yeah!
10 Months late but I'm pretty sure the blue is camel spit hence why Steve looks like he's so shocked
Apparently it's supposed to be this face! 😨
@@CheeseyStudios Perhaps but if it was tho wouldn't it reach more to the top of his face than just being the one spalt looking spot
I am pretty sure he is supposed to be sleep deprived hence the phantom.
Apparently it's this face! 😨
@@CheeseyStudios Lol
I think Steve’s new face represents lack of sleep 💤 thus flying creature appears (sorry forgot the name)
That could be!
I would guess that the blue on his face is spit from the camel
Maybe? But do camels spit in-game?
I believe so
Will absolutely be picking up this set when it's out, the smaller MC sets are absolutely some of the best smaller LEGO sets they're making right now.
Also, the thumbnail for this video really jumped out as being great!
It seems to me that the blue color is drops that express the emotion of fear.
That would make sense - the consensus a year later seems to be it's this face! 😨
I liked the other version of the cacti because in the game, you can’t place blocks directly next to a cactus
Hadn't thought of that! That's pretty smart. I guess that applies on the front part of the new one xD
@@CheeseyStudios i suppose so, but then again this isn’t the first time lego has broken minecraft’s blocky rules

But its a 10$ set and It brings you a lot of different minifugures that are new, or are retired from lego's official page.
Can't go wrong with that!
You should put the camel in your desert village! Maybe the purple ninja can ride it?
Ha! That's a good idea! I'll be putting a bunch of the new 2024 stuff into the world and do a little update video on it.
Minecraft $10-$11 sets are always so great for no reason at all: the coral reef goes so hard
Ahhh, love that one too! So amazing, especially when it first released and that was the only way to get all those exclusive mobs!
I think the blue is to show he's scared, the eyes by themselves would probably just look cartoony
That does make sense!

Yaaaay , new video , wanted to see this one 🎉😊
Would be cute if the camel had that 1x2 hinge brick that bends, to make the legs sit down. But otherwise, it's still a great desert boi.
Yayy camels to add to the dessert village !!
Woot woot!
The cactus design for some reason makes me really sad. I love the old one
I agree with you on the cactus also I love the new camel and camp fire are all really amazing
Whoever designed this did a great job
The white parts of the campfire makes me believe that maybe its meant to be a pair of candles instead!
I think the blue on his face might signify Steve looking pale from fear of the literal nightmare eating him from the skies. After orange + blue is a light grey so maybe a bit over toned, but still.
I think you might be right! Makes sense with the story
In cartoons blue around the eyes is a established way to show a character is sleep deprived.
That does make a lot of sense!
It looks like he's afraid from the Phantom.
Me too honestly
Llama and Phantom battle pack goes hard!
The camel nose looks like it could be the face of a small robot! :3
I love the in-depth reviews that you do! I wish Lego would take inspiration from your series to make the sets more accurate!!😂
Thank you! They're slowly getting there, ha! They've been using a lot more 2x2 tiles which has been great to see xD
Maybe this is the best lego Minecraft 10$ set?
My son thinkers the blue is sweat because he’s in the desert!
That could very well be! Makes a lot of sense
Idk why they changed cactus. It looks so bad now. Also is that dobule candle or campfire?
The campfire is a little jank for sure lol - that's a hard one to recreate in LEGO. It's so small yet so detailed in game

No problem! Glad you enjoyed
The steve looks like he's so scared

If Lego did a 2x4 printed tile for the front of that cactus, would you use their design in the diorama?
Maybe? If it was printed on a 2x4 tile tile that would be pretty limiting though, as there would only be one decorated side, and all my cacti would have to be 2 blocks tall
I really like this set. I hope lego stops making random minecraft skins, I think they should start making all the default skins with different variations of faces , like here with steve.
We did get one of the new default skins in the Animal Sanctuary which is pretty exciting!
Can we get a Steve with dual molded arms PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAASE
