This is one if these times where fans think the creators failed and they can improve the design, only to realize after hours of work that the creators already considered everything and the disliked thing is actually the best option. And then it gets ok again, and the creators get more respect for their genious.
There's one online where someone used a T-shaped bar piece to make the brows and nose and that looked better than the official one. Or just a sticker or printed piece would've been better
the blank face is perfect. the set sits on my desk, and i use a dry erase marker and draw my own faces on it... usually how I feel about the state of the US at any given moment :)
I feel like I’m the only one who saw that one piece face and was like “that’s genius, I love that” for exactly that reason. LEGO can’t make a face at that scale, it’ll look like a Neanderthal, and a sticker would be so so so tacky, I’m sorry, but for a set like this, that’d be terrible. The face plate is an elegant solution, and I think the designer went through probably 50 iterations of a brick built face to get there.
I think the scale is too small to have any real detailed face look good so the completely blank face shield is the best option. Neck was definitely too long though.
Nah, I think that mod that uses cheese slope pieces to give her a nose, brow, and chin looks much better. It's not especially detailed, but it does help suggest that she has a 3D face, especially at a distance.
I think it would be funny if they printed the regular, plain smiley face on it. Not sized up, but the same size it would be on the minifig head, except on that much larger face piece
Wouldn’t be surprised if Lego had 5 to 10 different options they were considering and the shield ended up being the best since it could look like an artistic choice.
To be honest, at first I thought “Yes the flat face is bad!” Than after I see the changed face I immediately thought “Maybe the flat face isn’t that bad”
I dont think One Piece could ruin Lego. I think they should create a whole set with Luffy and his teammates on the Thousand Sunny, it would be awesome!
Dark Psychopath Uh, yea it is, adding a new part to there catalogue can be difficult, designing the piece, coloring the piece, and making it cost effective is a lot for one not even mainstream set. And, if they used a really Detailed, hard to make face, the set would cost a bit more, so, I honestly think the shield is fine...
The flat tile makes it look more feminine like it’s supposed to and the more detailed face look more male. Sooooo I would go with the flat tile as the face
The original looks a lot more like a girl in my opinion and the second one looks too masculine. The first is probably the better option but maybe reduce the neck size a bit.
When it comes to designing actual statues like these in Lego, a common question I’m sure the builders are often asking themselves is, “How much detail is enough detail?’ I think that if the Lego Statue Of Liberty has broken shackles at the bottom of the statue and a molded flame at the top of her torch, she needs to have a molded Lego piece of her face. As for the fix for the face shown on the other website, it’s an improvement from the original part included with the set, but not a real solution.
No disrespect to JKBrickworks (He’s awesome)but that kind of looks like the Tiki Statue of Liberty now. It’s got a lot of tiki head look. Keep the shield lol. Seriously though, just go with what your heart man...or in this case, your eyes.
I feel like the new face definitely feels more fitting from a design standpoint. By that, I mean that the eye is no longer drawn to the lack of detail on the face plate compared to the gorgeous detail on the rest of the set. However, I do agree that the face also doesn’t suit her. Honestly, if I were designing this and I wanted to maintain the one-piece faceplate type of thing, I would have gotten a 3d render of her actual face, simplified it where needed, and used that as a piece unique to the set
Kind of a good idea that you shared there but thinking about it from an economical perspective, I would have to disagree with that suggestion. Noting your idea of creating a unique piece just to satisfy the design for this set, I'd say that that's not feasible especially when LEGO would have to create another mold design for the sake of making it unique. For me, their choice of choosing a blank, flat piece seems like an artistically pleasant and economically feasible decision greatly made by the LEGO group..
@@johnvincentbalawen8789 It’s not “great” at all: if you can’t reasonable portray something at that small a scale… maybe don’t portray it at that small a scale.
NO. It’s not an improvement in my opinion. As others are saying, the first piece makes the Statue of Liberty look more feminine, which makes sense because Lady Liberty is a lady.
I built this like a couple months ago and it was probably one of the most interesting builds with the slopes overlapping was really cool Also the detailed face looks like a Minecraft villager or one of those faces from Easter Island
Assuming all those parts are "sand green", how about part 15068, "Slope, Curved 2 x 2 x 2/3", assuming it comes with the set? (If it doesn't, bricklink does list that part in sand green color.) Mount it onto a 1x2 plate with the slope tapering downwards, just below the 1x2 slope serving as the forehead. Not perfect, but lends more sense of a face than the flat shield tile but is far less blocky than the solution you tried here. Or if you really want a tapered chin effect, use two of Wedge 2 x 1 x 2/3, one Left and one Right (parts 29120 and 29119 respectively). ...Maybe also use a flat 1x2 tile as the forehead, let the slope or wedges lend all the curvature.
It looks a little odd with the shield bc the entire build is so detailed and the face is blank but this new face... I can only see it as a moai face (🗿)
