Lmao fair enough I would want to as well.

Blue ones

For real!!

Yeah I think it looks better it just isn't viable price and variety-wise for the quantity of figures I have

Yeah except sadly the friend ended up scamming me so I guess he wasn’t really a friend 😂

These one were from the attack of the wargs set from lotr but their in some other cmfs as well. The id number is 90391pb03

Lmao ironically enough one of them got upset at me and scammed me in a trade literally yesterday so I'm not friends with them anymore

@ damn I fee had for that stuff like that make me be cautious

@@luciferdark1092 Yeah you gotta be careful man you never know who your real friends are it seems. Sometimes people turn out to be snakes :/ Stay safe tho <3

That's cool, I can see using both for different races

Fair enough I just find the contrast between cartoony and realistic a bit strange but whatever you like is what matters :)

@ it would probably be strange in certain contexts and less so others, i guess that’s why they make so many different colors

@@phoquenergoggle828 Yeah totally

Yeah that makes total sense there's definitely uses for yellow skin tones within the realm of realistic skin tones for gythyanki or other specific races but I feel like skin tone generally looks a bit cooler.

Hmm interesting so do you think star wars figures look off-brand? Because personally I think it would look weirder for star wars figures to be in yellow.

@RioBricks The fleshtones? Yeah they kinda do look such to me, the various alien heads look good enough and wouldn't really work in yellow anyway. Tusken raiders.. yeah no. lol. They shouldn't be yellow SW did drop the yellow fairly quick, though still remember and have OG yellow Luke. Even l can admit tho.. heh 😅🙃 Yellow star wars figs are.. Striking at this point for sure..being so rare they do indeed look amiss next to the regular, though.. again Would have prefered if humans stayed yellow across all themes

@@secicu Hmm well fair enough you're entitled to your own opinion I just think for themes with real people who have real skin tones you should keep their actual skin tone.

@RioBricks Thanks! And yeah, guess it was kinda inevitable in a general sense when sets start including actual real people.. That it would be change so that it accurately depicted them, as with the soccer and NBA figs and ofcourse the actors of various fictional roles I just really like the original idea and reason behind the figs being made yellow, that whole ethos or mindset. The figs were everyone, abstract representation of all humans. Like stick figures more or less There was simplistic beauty in that

Yeah it really is a shame how little variety you have available with flesh tones. I think your rationale makes sense though, obviously not all humans would be the same skin tone when the other races have different skin tones. I do think it's cool to have the githyanki or sun elves in yellow tones to use a couple nice yellow heads though. I agree with you that mixing them can work and still look good but I just generally think it looks weird if their just thrown in together because they have quite contrasting looks.

There is literally sick 2024 light nougat king head (similar to classic king head) for 2-3 usd new xD

@@realitycheck908 Exactly even 2024 heads are still so much more expensive for the flesh tones

Fair enough whatever you prefer :)

Fair enough whatever you like is what really matters :)

Thank you :)

Yeah I love that realistic look it just gives a different feel than the classic looking Lego heads!

Nah I definitely disagree here because lego has been making flesh tone heads since the early 2000s with their licensed themes. I think flesh tones just give more of the vibe of a licensed theme such as lotr or dnd whereas yellow gives off the vibe of the original castle ips.

Yeah for DnD style figures I feel like flesh fits them a bit better as well. We do need more yellow elf ears though for sure!

Yeah I completely get that the DnD cmf was what made me realize how nice flesh tones really look!

If you cared about realism you wouldn’t have elves either. That’s why it’s fantasy. When I’m talking about realism I’m talking about the actual look of the figures not historical accuracy.

Which one are you referring to?

I’m about to get some parts in the mail for them soon so hopefully I should be able to make an army for them soon!

It’s the fem head from the dnd cmf Druid

Yeah the dnd cmf is what got me thinking of using flesh tones for something tbh. I’ve just been realizing how nice they look. I agree that making customs with flesh tones just give more character and individuality to your custom figures. I can understand using flesh tones for the main characters and yellow for the bulk of an army but I just personally can’t get over how off-putting it looks to mix the two imo

100% same opinion

We need a drow minifig in 2025.. I’m getting creative trying to make them, but I’d prefer a headpiece with the pointy ears

@mjohn3126 Have you looked at the elves figs? Such as (elf033) for example. They are the doll style figs but their head pieces fit regular figs just fine.

@@Salogelly going to check them out! Thank you!

Yeah I can understand using yellow for certain races and flesh for other races in a fantasy setting

Fair enough you get to use a wider variety of heads with a mix so I get it

Great answer ! I do similar

Yeah that’s an interesting an idea it’s cool to see how people use the different skin colors in their worlds :)

I feel that as well I prefer skin tones over yellow in terms of looks but I just simply have so many figures that it isn’t really feasible, also I’ve probably spent over 250 dollars on yellow heads so there would need to be a big change in availability of flesh tone heads for me to commit to switching. Btw im a huge fan of your builds I absolutely love those super large scale fantasy builds and I can’t wait to live in a bigger place and be able to do that!

@@RioBricks Thanks, I appreciate the kind words! I look forward to seeing more of your MOCs in the future!

@@BDD_Builds Yeah at the moment the main problem is just that I have so little space as I live in like a 20x20 foot cabin so that's why I mainly focus on custom minifigures but I have big plans for mocs I wanna do and I want to try and make some more small mocs soon in some videos!

Fair enough their a classic

@ They are 😊

A classic for sure

@ I don’t collect much castle, but the sets I have are definitely way better when they’re yellow. I collect Pirates, and those are also a million times better when they’re yellow.

@Ayden_77 Yeah that's fair if you're going for the classic look yellow fits it much better

@@RioBricks Even if I wasn’t going for a classic look, I would still use yellow. I don’t care if it’s a historical build, I’m always going to use yellow heads.

@Ayden_77 Hmm interesting, you don't like the realistic look?

Yeah totally those 3 sets are decent options to get some flesh tone heads, the Pharrell one is nice but the problem is a lot of the heads have glasses or look too friendly. Also Star Wars sets do have some really cool prints but sadly their so expensive

Fair enough what you like for your world :)

Yeah that’s completely fair I just find the styles and colors to clash a bit as yellow looks a lot more cartoonish and less realistic

@ agree completely but the only things sometimes yellow got parts u can only use yellow skin and same for tan I mix my up and I’m broke lmaoo

@@luciferdark1092 yeah that's completely fair some parts are really hard to use with certain skin color heads because of printing on the torsos

Yeah at the end of the day to each their own, whatever you like is what matters :)

Yeah they definitely give off that classic Lego vibe.

Yeah in terms of availability and price yellow is an obvious winner, the question is for people who like the flesh tone style better (myself included) is whether it's worth the hassle and cost of getting good flesh tone heads for your figs.

Yup it's a classic!

Yeah I feel like this is a big reason why a lot of people favor the yellow heads, the nostalgia of classic lego

Fair enough the classic lego look is iconic!

You post it on youtube or something that would be sick! Also you can show me on discord (Rio039) or instagram Rio_Bricks_

Yeah exactly I've ordered so many yellow heads haha

Yeah whatever you like is what matters at the end of the day :)

That’s fair, if you’re going for that look then that totally makes sense

Fair enough whatever works for you :)

Fair enough I love that realistic look!

Yeah my armies aren’t meant to be realistic of medieval Europe though. It’s all a fantasy world that I’ve made up :)

Yeah exactly that’s pretty much why I use yellow as well, for army building it’s so much cheaper unless you wanna use the same heads over and over

Haha fair enough. Imagine yellow Lego friends 💀

Haha yeah makes sense, for me once I started making more dnd and lotr inspired customs it made me wanna use flesh tones
