emily Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 makes you wonder what minifigs are gonna be like in another 20 or so years. How much more detailed could they really go? It'd be interesting if the next shift was more toward distinct styling for figs from individual themes, in a sort of Exo-Force kind of way.

I think they wanna keep a consistent art style towards the printing nowadays, so I'd doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they could go the other direction, moving towards a more minimalist aesthetic. I'd like to see that. Details are fine, up to a point, but after that you're fighting against the medium.

Fush Posted October 16, 2016 Author Share Posted October 16, 2016 Just for fun (and to take the comparison to it's logical conclusion) let's look at each iteration of the figure. Leaving out alternate outfits and such. 2000. Original figure. 2004. Just before they started using flesh colored plastic. Only change is darker pants. 2008. Promotional figure not released in normal sets (though all the parts are available in other variations of the figure). Now uses flesh plastic, and the chest printing has been altered to match, but otherwise the same as previous versions save for strangely absent leg printing. A regular retail version maintains the printing but on brown pants rather than blue. 2011. New face printing to match the current style of minifigure eyes, and new leg printing as well. 2013. I left out all the other brown-pants versions but this one needs included. New chest printing. Face is the same. Legs, oddly, revert to original printing. 2014. Yet another new face AND leg printing! 2016. The currently most recent version. Yet another new face print [edit: I was mistaken, this image just shows the other side of the double sided head], and a brand new custom hairpiece.

lol username Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 remember how hagrid had fingers and was used along side normal minifigures (I think it's even the same molds as the hands and arms on that pirate?) bonus: mumboking, Fush, Lair and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
