LEGO Minifigure Heads SUCK?!... Here's Why

Awesome seeing another video by The G.O.A.T.

Lego really needs to work on their printing my iron man and spider noir have miss prints with the iron man one being on the helmet and it’s almost completely off of where the print is supposed to be on

This is why I replace everyone's face with the original generic yellow smile face. No one gets a personality

I don’t know if it’s just me, but I have tried multiple times to find you a new channel and can’t

Love this kind of video!

Tommy we. Neeeed Spider man no way home moc plzzz

I’m surprised you didn’t mention ikaris from eternals

I hope Lego minifigures are more accurate, but the set isn't more expensive because of that

I don't like she hulk or agatha because they have two smiling face prints.

One thing you consistently mention in the beginning is that “Lego’s style is getting simpler”

I do not see how that is the case, more and more figures get leg printing than they did 5 years ago, dual molded arms and legs are a thing, sets include more and smaller pieces, and more molds are being created year after year. Where did you get this idea from?

How dare you the old smiley faces are fire 🔥

Definitley been feeling this for a few years now.

I care about it

Legit this is why sets over £100 nowadays don’t feel very good and low quality cause they don’t put any effort into their figures which is what most people buy Lego for.
We know they can do some highly detailed figures like the 2 CMF series we have now
The figures in there are phenomenal (falcon, she hulk and moonknight) as examples of this with how detailed they are yet in the latest big builds sets we got the figure either have little detail on them or outright nothing (liberty’s head as a prime example cause the figures in there detail wise was not good) we know Lego can give us very detailed figs but unless it’s CMF they just won’t and it sucks cause there are figures that really need it
No wonder people go to fire star toys or get customs which isn’t a bad thing but if a single person can make a better looking figure than an entire company then there is definitely something Lego need to fix here

why isn't this on tommycfigs?

Can you do part 3 of Turning video games into lego with games like poppy playtime, roblox, fall guys, and among us

Its weird to see that Mordo from the set set as Scarlet Witch has a better face print than her

Sometimes I prefer the original and less unique and actor accurate just because when I play with my figs is more fun to be able to imagine my own story for the characters for example star lord I don’t want to use the Chris Pratt face because I don’t necessarily want an mcu star lord and the other face is generic so I can make my own star lord valiant not necessarily based on anything

We’re is the Statue of Liberty already I’ve been waiting years!

Agree but like you said budget money can get tight but I can’t agree with you more

Generic face prints? I think every lego head ever made is pretty generic. You cant get real facial details on a flat surface. If you want real actor likenesses, buy action figures.

If you had a line up of the actors that share face prints, you'd have a line-up of people that look nothing alike.

I feel that the lego face prints are mid, I think they should make them look a little more like the actors, although I'm not the biggest fans of some custom minifigures face prints.

Personally, unless the figure is so far away from looking like what the actual character actually looked like in the TV/Movie (looking at you Namor), I dont care.

I absolutety agree with your point however I don't collect MCU sets so it's not a big issue for me and it's not a big problem in Star Wars.

My issues with lego heads is the flesh coloured heads getting way more detail details than the traditional lego heads when based on IPs. If the character is white I much prefer the skin tone to be yellow, if the character is not white then I am happy with with them in darker tones.

Man your custom sucks oh I have customes buy my customes even though they cust 100,100$

Your a toy company and plastic is not cheap you have to keep using the same face because it crues more and if you if you wast time on the toy for a movie it loses it buzz it

And a toy company does not realest movie it get though in the drind of loses

yes i agree

I completely agree with you Tommy! This is one of the reasons I like customs so much: because the people who make custom minifigures are able to put as much budget and brainpower as they want into each minifigure they make which results in more attention to detail, especially on the face

May I present an opposite opinion:

I think Lego minifigures and other elementa should (at least printwise) stay minimaliatic. Take for example Luke Skywalker. His original face was pretty unique for the time but of course with futher development he indeed evolved into a better figure until arround 2009. His face in the wampa cave and the Lexicon was still very simple, but at their absolute peak. In the years after, they tried to make him even more look like his actor Mark Hamil and add more detail. And the conclusion was... ugly.

Its a toy company

Of all the reused heads, the one for Draco Malfoy works the best because of the eyebrows and the frown.

This is gonna sound weird but I think the faces should look much LESS accurate the actors, and instead should look exaggerated and silly, like say the old alpha team or studios sets

This has become a problem as of recently. But as you said yourself custom designers have kept and improved that quality. So maybe lego should hire more people like jakabricks

The fact that we can Erase a Minifig's Face is pretty cool, especially for Animators. Imagine someone wants to make a Bald Guy but only has one Head that is accurate, and has 2 Faces. That would be really annoying when doing Stop-Motions since he wouldn't be able to make a Scene with him seen from the Side

outworked

Hey just thought I'd say this now but you know you're statue of liberty moc the one in Spider-man no way home had the shield but you could alter the build slightly if this really bugged you and have the shield on the ground with Peter 1 fighting the Goblin so I thought I'd let you know now while (I believe) you haven't finished it.

Even though I know, Lego has a budget they’ve done it with a lot of other characters. Why can’t they do it with marvel? I mean Star Wars has a bunch of unique stuff. Harry Potter also has some pretty unique stuff too, but why not marvel?

It took LEGO 11!!!!! ELEVEN YEARS!!!! To finally look at Jeremy Renner in Avengers and make his figure actually look like him. I won't buy The Avenger's Tower but I'm glad that we got CMF Clint and now the 2012 correct version of Hawkeye

GOD DAYUM you fell off even HARDER 💀💀💀

Chris Pratt has his own face print because he is in multiple franchises and within those franchises his characters are in multiple sets in the theme

LEGO should make head moulds for every minifigure they make

Adding to this: Lego's style of face printing has gotten more comic-ish. Even the purposely designed heads oftentimes don't show the same resemblance to the actor that they would have shown say 10 years ago. A good example for that are the new LOTR faces. Apart from merry, almost all of them look less similar to the actor than the respective old faces did.

Where complaining about this but funko pops exist..

I don’t care if they don’t look how they look on screen they’re just toys you don’t have to worry that much about it

i agree. i have a serious problem with the endgame ant-man, it looks nothing like Paul Rudd.
