Yeah, It's one of the figures that are most like the source material. While I don't find it appealing, it accomplishes its purpose better more recent stuff. They can only use the big fig frame for so many things, honestly. A unique piece like this is good.
The wolfman is an actual character from the 1941 movie and is almost 100% accurate. Also the cloth thing is a skill issue, I’ve never had problems with them.
For those who were wondering "lady with legs" is actually in the LEGO studios "Scary Laboratory" but in that set she has a skirt and not legs, so when they re-released her in the set mentioned in the video she is called lady with legs because LEGO replaced her skirt with standard minifigure legs.
I think the problem with the clone wars minifigures is that they're in the uncanny valley. They look more realistic, but Lego kept the noseless design, which doesn't mesh with the more detailed eyes and mouths. I think merely printing a nose on the figures would've fixed a lot of the problems
3:06 the left version is based on the animated clone wars series. Therefore the creepy eyes. Many other figures based on the clone wars series share this.
That Series with the Wolf Man was meant to be based on the old movies where yes the werewolf looked more like a hairy man with bad teeth, not our modern day werewolves.
Yeah, he says "..looking like cheap rubber mask, though that could've been the point I guess" but it's literally from a Lego Studios set with the "stuntman" head. It was definitely the point and it's painfully obvious it was supposed to a be a campy oversized wolf costume, ala B-rate horror flicks.
“In the early SW set, LEGO didn’t want to risk making unique molds for characters they may never ever use again.” Sounds reasonable. I think they did well with what they had.
I also kind of prefer the aesthetic of those older sets. It makes it feel like something star wars themed built out of Lego instead of everything being perfect because the pieces were literally molded for one purpose.
Small addendum, the reason the ki adi mundi (and all the other figs in that era of lego star wars in general) looks so weird and bad is cause they're based on the cartoon series and not the movies. The reason his beard looks that way is because they tried to translate the style of his beard in the cartoon to a minifig and somehow didn't realise it doesn't work
I could see the Bionicle minifigs being kinda cool statue pieces in a build it's funny to think of them used for play, although I use to play with Skylander figures and they had a huge baseplate so maybe it's not too farfetched.
The Harry Potter had many weird figures in its early years. The old Snape had glow in the dark skin, which might look cool, but as far as I know Snape doesn’t have bio-luminescent skin. The old versions of Wormtail were also very bizarre, giving him a wiry moustache and a monk-style bowl cut. They also had a Trelawney figure that looked nothing like what we see in the film, although it’s probably because the designers only had concept art to work off.
7:53 is based on the ogs 1940s/50s films, where the werewolf themselves just looks like bigfoot than a werewolf, you're obviously doesn't know about this so I rate this video 6.5/10
I gotta step in to defend the second wolfman. Actually, this is the PERFECT representation of the character. This isn't just some werewolf that looks like a more monsterous fursona, this is THE wolfman. A specific character from a movie, where he looked pretty much exactly like this. A hairy human with fangs and an animalistic snout
If I had a nickel for every time Lego made a strange, droidlike adaptation of an obscure podracer pilot in the 2000s, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
It should be noted that the wolfman actually has an almost sasquatch like head with wolf features, while werewolves are the generic (although cool) designs we've learned. It's actually incredibly common to accidentally expect them to be interchangeable.
I love that series 4 wolfman. But wolfman and werewolf have always been a different way of presenting essentially the same creature, and that figure captures the classic Hollywood wolfman very well.
You know not the wave of nostalgia that hit me when I saw Lego Galaxy Squad, I had completely forgot I had some of those sets. I really wanna go back now.
Crazy putting those werewolf ones on there. The first one is an absolute classic amd one of my favorite minifigure parts. 2nd one is a great representation of the specific type of Wolfman they were trying to capture.
6:24 This one feels like cheating. It's not that is a bad minifigure or a bad design, it looks like the character. It's just that people don't care about that character
The funniest part about the yellow spaceman is they didn't even need to put a tan head and break the yellow skin trope. They just had to put a brown head to depict a black guy. Problem solved
The Ki Adi from the first set was in the 2008 CW computer animated series style, that's why he looks a bit odd. He's very accurate to that particular style though. The second set wasn't in that specific art style.
Fun fact about the classic yellow space man. In Lego worlds, any minifigs you discover can be used to mix and matched with another minifigs to make your own custom avatar. However the classic yellow space man's legs have to be hacked into the game in order to use. Because they don't show up. You can't even play as him either
I just happened to rebuild my Werewolf Ambush set yesterday. I think that the 'bad rubber mask' look is... I wouldn't say deliberate but a happy accident.
I noticed in my Mandolorian Fang Fighter vs TIE interceptor set that the instructions bags 1-3 for the Fang, and bags 4-7 for the TIE. the weird part is when you realize that there are 8 bags included in the set. The TIE actually uses bags 4-8
7:59 That's meant to look like the classic movie monster werewolf Which I like this design I thought the previous design had a cute head sculpt but it had no detail But this one is super cool and the other ones after this are also really cool But I think they were going with the classic movie monsters version with this one
I have like 20 of those Harry Potter troll heads. I bought a ton of them in the late 2000s from bricklink for use in a zombie stop motion I never finished
I had one of the bionicle playsets as one of my first very own set and the figures were always some of my favorites. Looking back it was probably just because I liked the colors
I always thought the first Star Wars one was just a robot... And the other one with the same sort of design looks great as a robot too, even if it looks nothing like the intended character.
Personally some of the Bionicle figures had good detail on them, like their masks look accurate. I can see why people dislike them, and I definitely admit that the 2005 models were extremely limited in articulation
I have this figure with both antennas, found the 70702 set in one toy shop that was reselling preowned sets at the time. used to have the troll from HP back in my country before I moved to UK. Really cool video ❤
I assume Gasgano’s minifigure is only meant to represent him from the shoulders up. Which is an utterly bizarre design choice, but I guess for that purpose and being released 1999, it’s…passable?
Everyone always shows the same figure of the Galidor line.. Which is just a Happy Meals toy.. The real toyline, although I agree they don’t look like Lego at all, are actually pretty high quality figures. Really robust and have good articulation. They do look totally out of place in the Lego world, but as action figures they are pretty solid. I seen worse, much worse, from action figure manufacturers…
Ron and Hermione look like they have Roblox faces.
Thanks giggler
Omg screech
lol fr
Screech spoke the truth
Lego _is_ Roblox's main inspiration so I suppose that makes sense
How was the original troll universally hated? Twenty three years later and it is still the most accurate depiction of the character.
Yeah, It's one of the figures that are most like the source material. While I don't find it appealing, it accomplishes its purpose better more recent stuff. They can only use the big fig frame for so many things, honestly. A unique piece like this is good.
First time seeing the Troll figure and I can't figure out why it would be hated.
Amen!
That Ki Adi Mundi is based on the clone wars dude, they all had the weird eyes
It’s prolly rage bait
@@DashSpiderJumpscaresspitbrix does his videos as best as he can and wouldn't do that kind of thing
He addresses the whole large eyes clone wars thing later in the video, should have watched the whole thing
It still looks bad even if it's based on the animated series
@@MonsterTaming420it just feels weird to single out Ki-Adi-Mundi in particular
The wolfman is an actual character from the 1941 movie and is almost 100% accurate. Also the cloth thing is a skill issue, I’ve never had problems with them.
This is not based on a movie . But actually minifigure isn’t bad
@@AznaurNagoevit is from a movie. thats literally what “lego studios” was
@AznaurNagoev You are a dumbas if you think otherwise dude
@@AznaurNagoevhave you really ever heard of Lon Chaney's wolfman? that's actually kinda sad.
@@KevinC2793 yep , but this werewolf aren’t Lon Chaney . It’s just a werewolf
The wolfman isn't just any werewolf, but a specific character that does look like the minifig.
For those who were wondering "lady with legs" is actually in the LEGO studios "Scary Laboratory" but in that set she has a skirt and not legs, so when they re-released her in the set mentioned in the video she is called lady with legs because LEGO replaced her skirt with standard minifigure legs.

I agree. Comparing cw Ki-Adi to an image of him from the movies was a little unjust
Fact
2 weeks too late, good catch

@@rustyshackleford4557 Yep
She was called the lady with legs because she had an alternate figure with the slope piece as legs.
Ron and Hermione look like they just popped a perc
2:16 Ron has the munchies

I can see a potential use for those Bionicle minifigs - statues in an alien city or museum or tomb to go with a space-themed MOC
I thought they were cool
I think they look kind of tasty
7:28 Well, they’re not wrong. She does have legs.
5:14
Lol
Unsettling?
It looks like he wants to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it 😂😂😂
That joke is so overheard bro, we all hate trump but damn get some new material already
@@Hershewed I think it was funny.
Nah Trump rules. 4 more years, baby!
I actually quite like the First Order Crewmember minifigure, specifically the the headpiece
And the torso works well for Inquisitors!

He never came up with that haircut sober.

1:25 the original lego minifigure for him looks more like the wander over yander parody of him in the time bomb episode 💀
the little bionicle all look like the chad meme
5:30 Gordon Ramsay jumpscare
I really don't understand the hate against the old HP troll minifig.
If I had a nickel for every time Lego made a strange, droidlike adaptation of an obscure podracer pilot in the 2000s, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
ill hold a memorial for our lost pod racing brothers from the hood. get rich or gameend trying
Ron and Hermione looked like they sharing a dirty secret.
😏
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤😂
they look they share the same bong, cuz gah damn
2:41 the hilt!!!
Exactly bro, can’t stand when the hilt is upside down
Amen brotha!

These minifigures might become rare in the future 😜
2:21 are Ron and Hermione mewing in ‘05?
Nah, they are wasted af😂
9:48 genuine SKILL ISSUE. Idk why i see people struggling with this easy asf
The faces of the Clone Wars minifigures still haunt my dreams to this day...
You know not the wave of nostalgia that hit me when I saw Lego Galaxy Squad, I had completely forgot I had some of those sets.
I really wanna go back now.

to be fair, it IS a bad design, as are most sequel things.
@@JJ-ly3vy But that isn't sn objective critique
0:36 goofy ahh spider droid creature
The funniest part about the yellow spaceman is they didn't even need to put a tan head and break the yellow skin trope. They just had to put a brown head to depict a black guy. Problem solved
That troll is great actually
Hate to defend Ki Adi Mundi but that figure was done in the creepy Lego clone wars style
I love Gasgano's pod racer in the movie, the N64 game, and even the Lego set, but man was I disappointed in that minifig.
This video should come with a warning: "nightmare material" 😂
The Ki Adi from the first set was in the 2008 CW computer animated series style, that's why he looks a bit odd. He's very accurate to that particular style though. The second set wasn't in that specific art style.
i always hated the clone wars faces
This is an awesome video, I learned a lot about Lego 🎉🎉 Subscribed!
That werewolf tail is smart, by the looks of it it can be raised or lowered for different moods by just turning it around. Nice!
I don’t know how you haven’t hit your 1 million subs yet your awesome bro
i was so afraid you weren't gonna mention the BIONICLE minifigs, those things are _wild_

Universal agreement on #1. I still remember when you could get that Cordyceps victim in McDonald's
Now I want to collect specifically all these mini figs! ❤😊
6:19 if you put this guy’s helmet on backwards his looks like All For One from My Hero Academia so I put it on a suit and it looks incredible
I just happened to rebuild my Werewolf Ambush set yesterday. I think that the 'bad rubber mask' look is... I wouldn't say deliberate but a happy accident.
Don't forget Exoforce had some weird goggle eyed minifigs too.
I have that troll and used the head for zombies
9:06 I could see some used for those figs. Because of their odd appearance they could be the Seven Enemies of Man in a Rock of Eternity MOC.
Ron and Hermione look like they've been stoned out of their mind for an hour
I noticed in my Mandolorian Fang Fighter vs TIE interceptor set that the instructions bags 1-3 for the Fang, and bags 4-7 for the TIE. the weird part is when you realize that there are 8 bags included in the set. The TIE actually uses bags 4-8
" just look at Ron, this guy needs some sleep"
LOL. the book that one was based on is the one where he literally doens't get any sleep.
I love how the star wars pod racers were just recycled battle droid parts and whatever else they could find
you should have mentioned the Hagrid with realistic hands i have that one and it is just disturbing
7:59
That's meant to look like the classic movie monster werewolf
Which I like this design I thought the previous design had a cute head sculpt but it had no detail
But this one is super cool and the other ones after this are also really cool
But I think they were going with the classic movie monsters version with this one
Yeah the faces they printed for the clone wars line did always look cursed
I have like 20 of those Harry Potter troll heads. I bought a ton of them in the late 2000s from bricklink for use in a zombie stop motion I never finished
The Ron and Hermione figures look like Alternates from the Mandela Catalogue
3:13 fits his personality though 😂
0:17 just oof
That Harry Potter troll looks sick. Why do people not like it?
Those cheap minifigures are super cool though, great for any paramilitary or security representation
You have some hot takes my dude
But fun video!
Wolf man and werewolf are 2 different things, the wolf man minifig makes sense.
Absolutely amazing video idea
I had one of the bionicle playsets as one of my first very own set and the figures were always some of my favorites. Looking back it was probably just because I liked the colors
I have that ugly troll minifigure ive always kinda loved it tbh
2:46 the minifig of this era where inspired by the artstyle of the clone wars tv show
The Ki Adi Mundi is from The Clone Wars animated series.
That's why he looks like that.
He looks pretty accurate for the character
I always thought the first Star Wars one was just a robot...
And the other one with the same sort of design looks great as a robot too, even if it looks nothing like the intended character.
I guess cloth skirts are more of a skill issue on your part, rather than Lego's.
all of the clone wars shows faces were so bad
Leave my troll alone man
Personally some of the Bionicle figures had good detail on them, like their masks look accurate. I can see why people dislike them, and I definitely admit that the 2005 models were extremely limited in articulation
No one:
Clone Wars minifigures for some reason:
👁👄👁
I had that Mos Epsa pod race set brand new when I was a kid. That cursed figure is very familiar.
Weren't the 3-stud-wide Bionicle figures for the Bionicle board games, and the 2x2-base figures were the ones for the Bionicle buildable playsets?
Both were for playsets.
The simple monopose statues were in the first wave/series, the more complicated/posable ones were from the second.
0:02 ahh the beginnings
dang i still have that troll too with the head in great condition.. 60 dollars? wow....im not sure if mine still has the brown clothing for it
I have this figure with both antennas, found the 70702 set in one toy shop that was reselling preowned sets at the time.
used to have the troll from HP back in my country before I moved to UK.
Really cool video ❤
Notice how there are no bad designs from legends of chima

i think those mini bionicals could make good statues if you're creative enough.
I laugh out loud a couple times 😹, chapped lips!
That first one looks like someone turned immortan joe into killbot cyborg
No one ever mentions the exo force headpieces being impossible to stay on the head piece
2:41 this was based off the clone wars SHOW version, its still not perfect but much more understandable
Great videos. I like Legos too. Peace!
