Wiriamu Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 So I don't know about anyone else, but I've long been rather disappointed by the fact that there are nonphysical Lego minifigures-you know, minifigures that only appear in video games, cartoons, graphic novels, and so forth. It seems like Lego could find some way of producing them; alas, we can only dream. Among such minifigures that I would love to see brought to life are the following: The Hobbit/The Lord of the RingsSauron-armored and/or fiery forms as seen in the video games.DenethorThe Witch-King-with helmetEowynGothmogFaramirBolgThrorEasterlingCitadel GuardTom BombadilGil-galadElendilStar WarsSeventh Sister InquisitorDexster JettsterWatt TamborTion MedonSidon IthanoBail OrganaSnoke (maybe as a giant-sized one?)Adi GalliaBoss NassAdmiral StaturaHarry PotterAberforth DumbledoreGrindelwaldTonksBarty Crouch (Sr. and Jr.)James PotterLily PotterThe GhostsRegulus BlackNinjagoThe First Spinjitzu MasterRonin's minions (from Shadow of Ronin)Seliel (graphic novel character)Time Ninja (graphic novel character)Cliff GordonCardinsto (graphic novel character)Ed and EdnaGahrann the Dreamer (graphic novel character)Dr. JulienLar (Graphic novel character)SelmaBut those are just my picks.

Ta-metru_defender Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I mean, the big things is with non-physical adaptions is you need ways to round out scenes and fill in character holes, so of course there's gonna be loads more characters that we don't get. Some are kinda frustratingly absent (no Boss Nass or Seventh Sister, eg), but I usually feel like LEGO deserves a pass. Look at the LEGO Marvel games; there are some incredibly deep cuts there that we definitely aren't getting as minifigs. 1 Quote Hand-drawn, bespoke avatar by none other than Mushy the Mushroom. a body adrift in water, salt, and sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of these guys are fairly minor, yes--but plenty of others, eg. Faramir, Eowyn, and Bolg, are pretty darn important to their narratives. I myself am still a little miffed that we never got those three. Edited February 12, 2017 by Dark_Stranger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't buying a lot of LEGO while LEGO LoTR was a thing, so I missed all of it (*sob*). Faramir is bad, but not having Eowyn is basically unforgivable.

Wiriamu Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 Seriously though, it's not just the amount we're missing but WHO we're missing. Faramir, Eowyn, Bolg-even a set piece for the Witch-King's helmet would have been nice. Of course, you could kill a lot of birds with the same stone if you did a Battle of Pelennor Fields set: then you'd get the Witch-King, Eowyn, Rohirrim Merry, Gondor Pippin, and maybe even Faramir if you took a bit of artistic license, which Lego certainly isn't shy of doing. Bolg would be a bit harder to do, although I suppose you could always have an attack on Laketown and include Bard's daughters in the bargain; or, perhaps with another bit of artistic license, do the Battle of Azanulzibar with Bolg among Azog's forces and get young Balin, Dwalin, Thorin, Thror, and Thrain in the bargain.
