I Made the STAR WARS CMF LEGO Never Could

- We have yet to see a LEGO Star Wars CMF become a reality and I believe it's something that all fans of LEGO Star Wars would enjoy. I discuss the history of LEGO Star Wars, why we haven't gotten a CMF, how I would make one, and I take a look at a variety of custom minifigures that I think would be good candidates for a collectible minifigure series.

Hi 👋
Will do! 👍👍
Lego Star Wars CMF would be non-existent in stores. It's already hard enough to find all the other CMF series. Star Wars ones would be bought out by resellers and army builders so fast.
They would definitely need to produce more than any CMF they have made before to meet the demand!
I doubt army builders would be interested in a bunch of rather obscure named characters.
I agree it shouldn't exist because of that
could easily just implement limits per address and only sell them direct
I agree. Especially if some of the figures in there are highly sought after. I think a CMF series would work best with a Star Wars sub-series, like shows, comics, video games, and Legends material
Molded alien heads are for sure some of the best parts of Lego Star Wars, but that Zam also looks incredible
Such a good figure!!
Admittedly, if they were to do a cmf for Lego Star Wars the first few waves would probably be very common characters that are all over the franchise like R2-D2, C-3PO, and Luke but maybe versions that we haven’t seen before. As time went on they would do more obscure and rare characters like Rex, R4-P17, Kit, Mace, etc and it probably wouldn’t be till wave 5 or 6 that we see characters like the ones listed in the video above. Alternatively, they might stick to certain times in the Star Wars universe like Rebels, original trilogy, Clone Wars, New republic, etc and release a mix of common characters and very obscure characters.
That trench is insane. Would LOVE lego to take on that figure, they’d do a great! Kinda like Dex, I’d easily pay $40 for one 😂
Thanks for sharing Zamn ❤️ LEGO… PLEASE- I’ll take that CMF
Seriously, such an amazing figure you put together with your team!
MayDay!!! Great to see you man
I already commentes this but: Heres a list I comprised for a split of 2 potentially Star Wars minifigure series, I tried to go with a wide range of the Star Wars movies, TV shows and videogames tried to achieve a mix of main, secondary and more nieche characters to try and satisfy everyone. Most of these are based off of characters I dont think lego would make/remake and themes that lego would not dedicate sets too.

If I remember correctly, they had a whole thing with another Star Wars toy IP holder coming after them for the minifigures in the fridge magnets infringing on their IP by being removable, but that was cleared up and Lego kept the minifigures glued after
Yeah I’m sure there is plenty of other complexity behind this as well that we are unaware of on the outside.
yeah Hasbro has exclusive 'action figure' rights for Star Wars, this means that any sole figures of a similar type(buy one get a few accessories etc) is out of LEGO's bounds, as was the whole incident with the magnets. unless this sole right going to Hasbro is changed it's not really going to happen sadly. (you can make the Hot Toys/sideshow argument but those aren't really made for play like minifigs and action figures).
@@sophiecharlottesnowe5529 I think that all got cleared up, but lego found it more profitable to not, though i don't know if I remember correctly
It actually says in the license that Lego got from Lucas Films that minifigures are NOT considered action figures, and thus are unaffected by the Hasbro & Galoob exclusivity deal. Lego has just been lying to us all. After all, if they can't sell action figures, how did they get away with selling buildable SW action figures? They always have been able to sell minifigs on there own, they just want to maximize profit.
@@sophiecharlottesnowe5529 How can Hasbro have exclusive action figure rights when Bandai produces SH Figuarts action figures that act as the inbetween of a Black Series figure and a HotToys collectors statue, while still being 1:12 scale.
I love how you didn't include any sequels characters in this selection.
The problem with a Star Wars CMF imo is that if Lego were going to eventually do it, the lineup CAN'T just be very minor characters or niche ones from the expanded universe. I think for it to not only sell but to build up hype is to put in variants of some of the iconic characters like Obi Wan, Anakin, Luke, Han, Leia or maybe even Boba Fett, Mando or Ahsoka.
If you look at the Harry Potter CMF or DC or even the first MCU lineup, a lot of the choices were main characters like Harry, Ron and Hermionie, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and Spider-Man, Captain America and Loki.
If you just put minor characters in a CMF, particularly for Star Wars of all things, it's NOT going to be flying off shelves with those choices unless a lot of the main characters people know are in the lineup.
A lot of great information in this video. The hypothetical line up you suggested is awesome! Definitely would love to see a diverse lineup and so many possibilities with the different eras/movies! Stinks lego isnt able to but maybe in the future they will be!
Thanks man! Yeah there are so many possibilities. Hopeful someday.
I would love to see LEGO make these minifigs! I personally like 180 prints better than 360 prints since LEGO doesn't print around the whole minifigure but I am also tolerant of 270 prints since LEGO set a standard for printing on the side of the legs on CMF minifigures. The customs I like the most are the ones that fix LEGO's mistakes while still blending with official minifigures
I think 270 printing is my favorite. I definitely like to have figs that fit in with Lego and their design styles. While I love customs, there are many that stick out like a sore thumb in a collection full of official figs.
Yeah I’m not a fan either, side-torso and back-leg printing kinda breaks the rules too much for me
Besides the Hasbro action figure thing. 1. I think it could hurt Lego’s future plans of what they would want to make sets out of too. If you put out a Lando figure then you’re not going to put out a Cloud City set. 2. If you can buy a figure without a set it is much cheaper than buying that individual figure. Lego wants to make money and selling sets makes them more money than selling individual figures.
What's great about lego is lego characters have no noses, detailed line printing for faces, and a simplistic glossy design. Action figures are often molded odd, painted poorly, and are attempting to look like the character without any setbacks. This my friends is why lego excells at making you excited at getting a set with a bunch of characters in it, because you recognize it as the characters known by lego.
Good news! Cal Cestis is coming in a set this year!
Absolute fire video bro and a great idea. Your vids are always worth the wait and I'm glad to see you well. I'm not much of a custom minifig guy but I do have an admiral trench and darth stryfe that I'm saving for an eventual MOC (one day....)
I was always annoyed I didn't pick up that bounty hunter pursuit when it was very cheap and it's now one of my white whales. Would love to see how this minifig series could grow in concept and fingers crossed, one day, we could get one and I will happily ignore the 'boxed cmf' issue to makesure I get them all in multiples. But for now, thanks for helping us dream vividly! 😊
Thanks for the nice comment! Yeah, a lot of customs miss the mark when it comes to matching the style of Lego’s own designs. Really hope they can get things figured out and we can see something like a CMF in the future.
So basically, it is an ad for a company selling copyright infringement material for around 30$ a piece.
Great video & concept! Have a great weekend!🔥
Thanks! You too!

@maydayfigs HEY MAYDAY!!!!! Great to see you man! Still love watching you're channel and I'm happy to see you grow so far!
Commado Gregor looks SOO good 🔥🔥
One of my favorites!
A character id love to see in a sw CMF would be battle damaged Darth Vader from Kenobi or rebels as I think that would be really cool
I'd want to see Mr Bones the modified B1 battle droid with a psychotic personality sharpened beak and bones tied to 'em
A Star Wars cmf series would be AWSOME! I would love to see maybe a gungi or one of the mortis gods would be sick!
Fun fact: the ucs republic gunship is almost action figure scale!
Come on LEGO, we really need a admiral trench minifigure, cmf or not
Hey man
Welcome back
It would be great if Lego did that
Your custom mini figures are great
Yeah who wouldn't want to get a mini figure
I would also be happy if I got this 😀
The custom clone troopers are awesome
Great video
Until the next video
Grtz from belguim
Steve
Thanks Steve! Glad to be back. Happy you enjoyed the video!
the tri droid in the background looks awesome
These are such…interesting…choices for a CMF
a lego cmf of a tactical droid or a super tactical droid would be amazing!!! especially if you want to put a commander in one of your mocs
I commented about this on an Instagram account, about 3 months back. I said that I wouldn’t mind clone sets to help build up a collection of commanders or different divisions. It would be nice to have them represented. Preferably ones who may never see a set release
6:50 so I bought a Captain Rex figure from Clone Army Customs and I cannot get the visor to stay on the helmet, any tips on how I can get the visor to stay?
They can definitely be a little finicky. If you have issues with it I would shoot them and email. They are usually pretty helpful!
At 3:11 the comment by BaryonyxWalkeri1983 was mine. Nice to see I have a 1 second cameo
Haha that’s great!
Been collecting lego star wars for years and afew star wars funko pops and fun fact but funko has to make every star wars funko pop a bobble head (some funkos don't bobble) so they wouldn't be labeled an action figure.
Nice video! Can I ask from where u brought mandalorian guard and Ima Gun Di ? Big head bricks ? I can't find it! Thanks!
Big Kid Brix!
Welcome back!!
Thanks!!
Empire cody set, features Cody and Crosshair facin off the AAT (the droid tank) from the bad batch Season 2 (i forget the episode name)
as for Gregor (CC armor) prolly somethin from the episode of which he sacrifices himself for a republic officer and R2D2 and gang on that Desolate Wasteland planet.
Glad you’re feeling better
Thank you!
I feel like with the lack of support, the only way to get some sequel trilogy minifigs would be in something like a CMF.
For example: Lego hasn’t made a General Leia since like 2019 (Star Wars: Resistance) & the only other version came out in 2015 (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) with the same outfit. When the Lego Skywalker Saga game came out, I was so happy to FINALLY at least have official Lego designs for the different General Leia outfits (and outfits of other characters they’ve not yet made, such as many of Padmé’s variants).
Clone captain Keeli would be nice.
I think they did a newer clone wars version of Cicitin, I think I prefer that version of his head attachment.
Also dont forget that we used to get those SW clocks and magnets. Noy many bricks in those
Good if Lego did started doing Lego Minifigure Star Wars series as I am a Star Wars fan myself.
A good Jedi council chamber would be cool and htey could add all these mini figs into that set
It seems like the CMF you created is mostly made up of Clone Wars/ Prequel Era characters. Aside from Cal Kestis and the dude from Rogue One.
I wish scorch was in it
This would make a nice cmf!
This needs to be a thing
I would love a "legends" lego cmf, that would be so awesome!
Star Wars cmf would be awesome
For real though!
I feel like Zeb or Kannan would be good considering they both have not appeared in a set since rebels aired
They would most definitely have to put arc trooper echo in a Star Wars cmf
2:01 - 2:27 best way to change parent opinion on buying lego😂
Where is ice cream maker guy??? We need him NOW.
Imagine a clone commander and captain cmf
They'd make millions
Please, no. Do you have any idea how impossible that series would be to find anywhere other than scalpers on the aftermarket? If Lego made a CMF of just clones then no one would be able to get it unless they paid crazy prices.
@@CloneCommanderCrater1102 where is the downside here? They flood the market, pretend to let scalpers buy it all, wait a week, do "another drop" after the scalpers overplayed their hand, and profit
A great CMF figure would have to be the galactic marines, star corps, shadow stormtroopers, sithtroopers, 2020 themed anakin and obiwan. And yes, clone commandos!
Alien head molds r a must. Lego can pretty much print currency if they would just make a SW cmf with characters we have never got before
make another star wars mech video for the clone wars and could you add the two clone phases and jedi ship mech phases as different mechs
In another one to add to the conversation are star wars legion game minifigure which are themselves buildable model kits idk why nobody remembers this when talking about the contracts because it probably affects the allowances in the hasbro and lego ones
I think the Lego wrecker helmet could work for commando helmets
The clone commando helmet would get a lot of use. I think a lot of fans would love a set with Delta Squad.
I need me a keelie, trauma, and c22 highsinger
GCCs kix figure would have fit right in this list perfectly
Not giving cal his poncho is criminal
upload more vids plz I love your vids
Working on it! :)
I NEED Lego Wat Tambor.
Do some big Republic mechs.
Wait. But we have books with minifigures and polybags with minifigures as a "bonus" to comics. (At least in some countries I guess).
Aside from your reasons stated in this video, Lego legally can’t.
They tried with Star Wars in their most experimental era around 2000-2003 with the trio packs (Luke, Han and Boba for example) but that breached against hasbro’s license for action figures, so Lego has had to come up sometimes with ways around to release them, individually and regular figs mostly, such as keychains, magnets, round magnets, watches, and anything that prohibits a figure from being “just a figure”, and I guess some poly bags get a nice micro build for both display and the previous method.
When it comes to bagged figures like Darth Revan or the ones included in the Lego magazines, my best guess is that it falls under the category of a gift
They need to do the guy that can replenish his limbs from the clone wars old animated thing
I think that Lego should just make a minifig scale Mantis from Jedi Survivor (that is the ship they use in the game) with a bunch of characters from the game
I personally think it’s a great idea. I love your vids. By the way, how are you doing?❤❤❤
I’d love to see a series of Sith. Darth Nihilus and Bane in particular!
That would be great!!
Nice 332nd Helmet in the back!
Thanks!!
That Mayday figs figure is on another level.
Personally If Lego Star Wars Made A CMF Series, I Think The Republic Version Of Crosshair Would Be Cool.
You should do a collab with lego for this
I opened 5 marvel cmf boxes and I got 3 ant man bad guys and then 1 wolverine and a moon knight I wish I bought the what if cmf
ANOTHER BANGER
I’ve been saying this for years lego needs CMF for Star Wars!!!!
“Why hasn’t my period started” is a wild auto fill. Unless… 👀
Like Four Arms and XLR8 from Ben 10 and lego space aliens
I’ve got one of those mandalorian guards for sale under retail if anyone’s interested!
Nice Video Firebird Bricks❤❤❤
Thanks! :)
I’m a bit late on this one but great video
Thanks :)
My dad has a friend who is opening up a bricks and mini figs in South Carolina and I got a mini fig and sticker from there
I’ll settle for just an Imperial Cody at this point 😩
0:58 “why hasnt my period started”💀
This would be so amazing and I have no idea why lego has not made it yet
Hopefully someday!
I dont get how they cant make their own because the issue you mentioned in the video wont matter because of the comic book bag series where they sell just a figure… oh well. Great Customs but I wish there were more rebel and imperial figures… awesome tho!
This Is what every lego Star wars needs.
Just throw Durge into this line-up and I would be all over it in a heartbeat.
I almost did! Was very close to buying one.
Where’s darth jar jar 🤨🤨🤨
They could make 3 series ( one every year ) - prequel series w clones and characfers never made, a og frilogy w more detailed characfers and rebels never made and a sequel/disney plus series with characters from all the new tv shows that cant go into sets and a couple sequel characters incase someone likes the sequels
cal is appearing 😍😍
where can i buy that Cal Kestis figure? (assuming it can be bought)
Im gonna go bankrupt if Lego would start with Star Wars CMF. Already collecting lego star wars, black series and vintage collection
We need a Glup Shitto minifig
Cal's "accessory" could have also been BB-1
If you don’t know what a cmf is you’re living in 1849
LEGO Star Wars needs to do a CMF already.
They now released fives
Im not sure they would make so many new molds to only use them once.
I think this hasn't happened for the same reason the old Minifigure packs got canned
Lego Star Wars figures sold by themselves are too close to selling action figures for Hasbro's taste if they still got the exclusive license for Star wars action figures
These would be sold out so fast.
Hahah true
