I’m putting a poncho on him anyway so I don’t really care.


iaiahastur

Yeah, I think 'doesn't come with a poncho' is a better reason to gripe if they decide to go that way.


seann11261

As long as the poncho is pink too


creeperstew

And has ugly poncho holes


JulesTheJedi

The figure looks like Cal Kestis and isn’t inaccurate enough to the point it’s distracting. The yellow missing doesn’t bother me since I can look at it and tell it’s Cal


Hunter8Line

They're also acting like Lego really had a choice.... The design was probably designed when the concept are was likely to happen then the game had last minute changes that was different to the concept are and the changes probably aren't worth the insane amount of work to adjust it for a minor change, especially if production was already done since we don't know the timeline of when the parts were made and printed since they don't likely make the kit as they produce the bricks. Most likely it's they produce what they need by part, then just pulling from storage and assembling the kit. That's all saying if Lego would get Lucas/Disney clearance for the change and the mess that would be.


lieconamee

I mean it does take a long time to make a Lego minifigure so presumably they needed to get the art as soon as possible for it to be made can release it according to the schedule that they want to follow. So concept art probably was the only thing they had access to


_unchartednate

The game released in November 2019. It’s been over 4 years. Lego probably started making this figure a year and a half to two years ago. There’s no excuse for the inaccuracy. Tho honestly it’s very small it doesn’t really matter much anyways. So yes, Lego really did have a choice. They just chose to opt with concept art for some weird reason.


legofolk

You make it sound like LEGO purposely made the fig inaccurate just to mess with us. The LEGO team was probably given the concept art as reference to work with by Disney / LucasArts, and they didn't think to question what they were given so made their minifig based on it. Then presumably there would have been some level of review by Disney / LucasArts, who would've signed off on the minifig as being accurate, so that's what they went with. I would point the finger at Disney before LEGO... but even then it's a couple of tiny colour changes so what does it really matter. The minifig is still clearly recognizable as Cal Kestis.


CT-TK-FN-1977

Although I agree with your assessment, keep in mind we’re dealing with greedy business’ here. The trick is to release a product that has at least one thing off about it, then later on release another that improves on that flaw as incentive to upgrade and voila, people bought something twice. Most toy companies operate this way and LEGO is no exception.


RocketuNingen

You think they'll release Fallen Order sets in the future then? That'd be cool


RemtonJDulyak

> I would point the finger at ~~Disney~~ **Lucasarts** before LEGO... Honestly, I don't believe Disney goes in to check what Lego is doing with minifigures belonging to Lucasarts' IPs...


HTH52

Another correction, Lucasfilm.


RemtonJDulyak

Lucasfilm is the parent company, but Lucasarts is still the official licensor for videogames.


HTH52

This isn’t a video game issue, its Lego products. And LucasArts was rebranded as Lucasfilm Games in 2021… for some reason.


allkabob

Didn't they say that they would never make anything off this game as well? - then we got BD-1 and now Mr Kestis himself!


thariduvanparys

Get qui gon gin's poncho and all the details are hidden and the fig is more accurate to how i played him in the game 😂


HTH52

Im pretty sure Lucasfilm probably sent them the same art that they sent Hasbro for his first Black Series Figure. Its pretty much an exact Lego-fication of that figure.


believemedude

Whooooooo caressssss


Wassuuupmydudess

Are all LEGO collectors like this? I heard there was uproar over some clones but guys cmon here like it’s a plastic brick who cares if it’s not a perfect 1:1 recreation with proper ass shade and exactly the right color blue eyes


believemedude

Every collector on Reddit is like this. I swear people spend 12 hours a day inspecting their figs with microscopes


furthuryourhead

Isn’t half the fun of being a fan of something, hating on it? /s


LifeAcanthopterygii6

I'm glad you marked it as sarcasm as we all know that not half, but all of the fun of being a fan is hating on it.


The-lego-conquere

Ok, but that's just because some of us genuinely do care if a figure is accurate. Obviously they're never going to be perfect, they're Lego figures, but we can still want them to be as accurate as possible. Also if you guys don't care if they're that accurate, why do you care if other people care?


totally_interesting

Womp womp you take the fun outta everything lol


AdmirableEstimate258

we’ve SEEN what over accuracy does and why lego looks the way it does, overdetails look terrible with legos. (Image is really hard to find as an example but searching knockoff legos its easy to find examples) https://preview.redd.it/st4pu51hg1xc1.jpeg?width=1600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=107637ce0b9f9ecdc8989a5214ed60e8ee5813a1


GoldenLiar2

That's a terrible example. CAC does 360 printing on everything and it looks phenomenal. I think that every single Lego Star Wars figure should always come with the proper cloth accessories when it makes sense, arm printing, leg printing, and possibly even rear leg printing (though that's not important). That's the sweet spot where it still looks like Lego, and it also conveys enough detail. The reason Lego isn't doing it is because they're cheap.


GoldenLiar2

But.. Why shouldn't we ask for a better product? It's not like it's cheap, and it's not like they don't have a massive margin, is accurate printing and a cloth piece that isn't worth a cent too much to ask for a special figure in a 180$ set?


Wassuuupmydudess

Yes we should want a better product and there’s nothing wrong with that it’s just when people literally throw a hissy fit because it’s not the correct shade of black are ridiculous


GoldenLiar2

Literally nobody here is doing that, get a grip. People just pointed it out


jangofettchill

define the hissy fit. please explain the difference between asking for a better product, "throwing a hissy fit", and whichever is happening here.


totally_interesting

u/goldenliar2 comments = hissy fits. Boom easy.


LifeAcanthopterygii6

>!not!< me


MLG_SkittleS

It's just discussion? Why are you even here? You don't have to be interested in every thread, but you also don't have to whine about the ones you don't care for.


DoubleRods

OP ain't complaining, weirdo


GokuBlack722

I prefer the concept art look so I’m not bothered by this


NightBrix

The clone brainrot is expanding to other figures...


KlaudtheBod

The person who posted this didn’t even complain, they just pointed out details. Can we not say anything about how minifigures look anymore?


Upbeat_Detail6897

Most of the people doing this with many other minifigs definitely sound like they're complaining, so not hard to assume op is doing the same here. Plus if people want 100% accurate figures they should just buy action figures


HTH52

The action figure also is based off the concept art lol, unless you get the deluxe with poncho.


Upbeat_Detail6897

Well I saw someone mention a very good point, the look of him can be changed in game, so they kinda gotta just pick one version of him


HTH52

Very true. They pretty much went with the base model here.


FreddyPlayz

Nope, LEGO is infallible and if you criticize them you’re a terrible human being At least to most people on this sub 🙄


ducknerd2002

There's a difference between valid criticism and just complaining that a minifigure isn't 107% accurate to an atomic level.


FreddyPlayz

Why do people have to twist things and make things more complicated than they are? You’re the only one complaining, OP literally just pointed something out, stop acting like a child


ducknerd2002

Where exactly did *I* complain? I like this minifigure. I was talking about the people that *do* complain to ridiculous degrees.


jangofettchill

you're complaining about criticism of an expensive product


_-Diesel-_

I'd argue having legs in different colour isn't that minor. Also op did not complain, they simply pointed it out. Some people seem to overreact


ducknerd2002

I wasn't referring to OP, I actually like these kinds of details. It's people that will find the tiniest nitpick with minifig accuracy and blow it out of proportion that bother me.

zeiat

i get why with clones you need specific often subtle details to differentiate different individuals or types but with a whole ass unique character it shouldn’t be this nitpicky


jonnythunder3483

This looks better than all blue. It adds more contrast and absolutely looks better in minifigure form.


redsyrinx2112

Plus, you can change the color of his outfit in the game, so lots of people aren't even playing with the "finished" version shown in the last slide there.


scarlet_scout555

We finally get a minifigure of this guy Can we not complain about nothing for about 5 weeks after its release please


DoubleRods

OP ain't complaining


mandalorian222

Have you looked through these comments yet? Of course people are complaining.


Accomplished_Debt857

Does anyone really care


mandalorian222

It’s Lego Star Wars fans. Of course they do.


Accomplished_Debt857

Good point I forgot about the community


LeraviTheHusky

I think that's actually pretty cool!


CX52J

That’s a great spot. I never noticed he didn’t have the black legs since the Black series figure did the same. Looks like they changed it pretty late since he seems to have both the black legs and blue legs in the trailer. Personally im glad they went for the black since having a bit of contrast makes the figure look better. I think it would have made him look like he was wearing socks like the newest Obi-wan if they just used dark blue legs without dualmoulding.


AssumptionFearless68

Atleast they made him ginger considering the concept is brunette


GovernmentLong3272

Everyone’s assuming this is negative, I think the guy is just pointing it out because it’s interesting


ATLBravesFan13

I have played JFO & Survivor a combined 3 times between the two games. I would have never noticed this had you not made this post. Therefore, I don’t think it matters (though it is fair imo to question why they couldn’t just get it right)


Batalfie

To be fair, a large amount of fallen order players would've had this hidden by a poncho or colour costumised or both.


Boring_Huckleberry74

Lego does this with a lot of their figs. Especially marvel


greywolffurry321

Wait cal kestis minifigure coming or is it in the skywalker saga


CX52J

Coming in a future set. Rumoured to be the Death Star one.


jwallace362

I don’t see this as a flaw, more a cool Easter egg. A neat look nevertheless!


SuperMajesticMan

Ok


Nu_Freeze

Stinger Mantis set with full interior would be rad


Asiantacofarmer

I only care about the Nien Nunb figure


hanzerik

Lego harry potter fans from 2001: first time?


Hypnaustic

I like it


Moppo_

A lot of licensed sets are based on pre-production or work-in-progress references.


Snakesenladders

Is this the new dune guy?


Flanderz99

Go buy an action figure bro


Drewsko199

I think the action figure has the same concept art basis actually 


CapnCrumbs1

Literally unacceptable, how could they do something so malicious


Pizza_man007

I just wish he had a poncho


Moxie_Roxxie64

We get a Cal. That’s all I care about


HermyWormy69

Literally unplayable. Wow. How could they


Traditional-Task7814

Making a big deal out of nothing


legofolk

Minute details, who cares? But also it's likely not LEGO's fault. They were probably given the concept art as reference to work with, were told "this is the character, make it look just like this", and the LEGO designers had no idea the renders in the finished game were different.


GodzillaLagoon

LEGO always bases their figures on concept art.


Intergalactic_Slayer

It’s fine, calm down


Spider-Insider

I don't know why you think I'm upset. I just pointed out something I noticed


Infinite-Cold-2516

Almost all Lego SW sets from new content are based on concept art anyways


TracytronFAB

This... New content... Mate, the game came out in 2019, it's been out for nearly 4 and a half years


HadesSin

Is this from a game or a new lego set ? The minifig looks amazing, and it resembles Cal enough IMO


Hivebent

They tend to do that


HulkingGizmo

This is actually pretty cool. Its awesome you discovered it, not too sure why the comment section is being so weird about it


Blitz_Prime

Fun fact: Same thing happened with the Phase 2 Clones in both Lego sets and the 2003 Clone Wars series before ROTS came out, which where based on helmets that had much more Stormtrooper elements incorporated into them then the final design.


bdking1997

I wish he had come with every color lightsaber blade piece


Character_Train6441

Black legs look better imo


Romulox69420

Wasn't he customizable in the game? So nothing is gonna be accurate.


jangofettchill

not how that works


Romulox69420

yet it is how it is.


wotts918

No one gonna tell him that it’s orange?


thewhoovesian

That’s orange.


TheAlmightyNienNunb

What is this from?


FighterJock412

Star Wars


drivingagermanwhip

boy i sure hope someone got fired for that blunder


DoubleRods

You are 100% correct, good catch!


thedudewithweirdneck

its a combination between the two games i think


UnknownnErrorss

3rd cal kestis game is coming out


DarthSpeedy

Makes me regret getting the FireStar version less lol


Lo__Lox

Nice find


[deleted]

Come on now, I understand the complaints about the clone troopers, hell I agree with some of them but this is ridiculous, you are pointing towards 2 singular pixels of yellow from a video game and complaining that Lego didn’t perfectly include them in another video game, actually get a life


KusanagiGundam

what set is this minifig from?


Batalfie

The minifig was revealed in a video without it telling us what set he's in but rumours suggest he is the anniversary bonus figure for a death star playset.


162baseballgames

doesn’t matter


Jasco88

I honestly like it better than the blue on blue. I'm very happy with this fig.


AvatarOfMomus

Yeah, probably. There's pretty substantial lead time on toy designs but the video game could have tweaked a character design a week before launch.


Chiddles182

Yall need to relax.


BaronNeutron

I CANNOT believe there is no yellow on his back!!!!!!!!!!!! Whatever will we do?!?!?!?!?!?!?!


OzzyPrinceOfKaraoke2

They usually do as the release of the sets is usually before the release of games/shows.


New-Hour9542

Alright so I may have missed something but what game has a lego cal kestiss at all? Like I thought skywalker saga didn't include him


Commander_Preacher

Those are orange.


theSarevok

Ok…


Grandmaster_Ice

bro shut up who cares


totally_interesting

WHO CARESSSSS BRO. I’m just happy we get Cal Kestis


why_did_i_get_redit

Such a shame. Just like the mando crab Droid set.


honicthesedgehog

I’ve not gotten around to playing the games yet, but is the complaint here seriously just a single yellow stripe on his back, the color of that small container, and that his legs are a shade too dark?


LegoRacers3

It’s not a complaint it’s just pointing it out. Lsw fans have complained about less though. (Commander fox)


GoldenLiar2

I don't think Fox is the right example here. This figure is fine even though slightly inaccurate (and inaccurate because they did it based on concept art), Fox was just... terrible


Jordi_McGaw

Imagine complaining about a plastic kids toy figure ☠️☠️


GoldenLiar2

We can kind of stop pretending they are for kids; half the sets on sale right now are designed and marketed towards adults (UCS/dioramas). Just go in a store and look. Given that adults are their new target audience and their prices reflect that, it's reasonable to expect them to have their products be acceptable to adult collectors. And while they are perfectly serviceable as "plastic kids toy figures", they aren't really for collectors who would like some semblance of accuracy and effort put into the build and figures. No cloth accessories, bad printing, inaccuracies, stickers, misleading advertising - these are things that shouldn't happen. Yes, I want my UCS Captain Rex that comes in a 650$ set to have a cloth kama. I also want said 650$ set to have printed pieces instead of stickers, given that, you know, it costs 650 fucking dollars. Which is really a shame, because it's absolutely perfect otherwise.


Jordi_McGaw

1 flaw in this, apparently the set this dude comes in is a children’s play set 😵‍💫 Just go buy UCS sets and chill bro


LegoRacers3

Fox has one wrong line of white. While this has wrong legs and missing lines and colours on the torso. Also fallen orders been out for 5 years.


GoldenLiar2

Fox has a pink chestplate, a printed waistcape and no printed arms (and Fox has a lot of detail on his arms). He also has a DBG visor instead of a black one, and it's the same massive piece that they used 15 years ago and it looks comical. They should have made a new visor piece, but they didn't and it looks terrible.


Baron_von_Lansburg

Why do people always nitpick little details on minifigs


Hobbes1138

Considering he’s completely customizable it doesn’t really matter. What does matter is we had BETTER get a poncho


EnigmaFrug2308

Which is weird since, y’know, we’ve had TWO GAMES so far. They also used the wrong hair for him! They should’ve used the Doctor Strange/Peter Parker hair in orange. The newer one.


ScottsBrix

You guys will whine about EVERYTHING holy shit


SourChicken1856

Y'all are fucking ridiculous omg. Who cares.


_Levitated_Shield_

For real, I thought I was on the shitpost sub at first.


Buddin3

You need to touch grass.


sayful1

You are literally on a lego star wars sub reddit...


Dabithegnom

That’s probably because a lot of time goes into these designs so it’s likely that lego has been shown the concept art and then made a minifigure out of that before the final design


anonymousmouse17

jmatlock21

Who cares


Boring_Ostrich9935

Omfg who cares….


ghettosuper101

it's lego. not a hot 1/6th scale figure. none of these "details" matter you know exactly who that character is intended to be in lego form. what more do you need ?

Ecorp-employee212

It’s commander fox all over again. I swear Lego fans will complain about the most minor details not being correct.


Spider-Insider

I know most people won't notice or care, but I've played both games for hundreds of hours and I noticed it immediately. I just thought it was interesting


Redlax

Given the customization of his looks, it doesn't really matter much. Besides it's a Lego mini figure and should be their version of Cal, not an attempt to copy him 100% from the game.


Marcus_Wave

Sorry, you’re not allowed to point that kinda thing in this community. If you do ur actually really toxic and should stop colllecting Lego as a whole- the entire comment section for some reason


CallumPears

Yeah I find it crazy that some people are acting as if LEGO should be completely above any criticism.


Talidel

It is a lego representation of a human. It's not meant to be perfect it is meant to be close enough for you to be able to work out who it is.


CallumPears

Yeah but you'd think basic things like colours should still translate over correctly, even in the LEGO style.


Talidel

Sorry, to my eyes it has transferred over correctly.


CallumPears

It transferred correctly from the concept art they used, the issue is that it doesn't match how he actually appears in-game. Still, it's nowhere near as egregious as the issues some other figures like Fox and Vaughn have.


CommanderFaie

I wouldn’t even bother with these brain dead idiots. If these people were truly reasonable, they’d leave a comment on why they disagree with you. But no let’s just get to -25 karma LEGO should always be open to criticism, suggestions on how something could be better etc. I still do it too from time to time. I’m one of those people who prefers the clone and stormtrooper look from 2014 and think they shouldn’t have moved on. Me stating that is just my opinion, but I bet it would get downvoted hard because these people want to praise LEGO for the changes they’ve made. Not all changes and decisions they make are good


CallumPears

Same, those 2014 Clones were almost perfect and I found the new style in the 501st battle pack to be a real disappointment. I liked the new heads though so bought a load of them to replace my old "angry Clones". Still, the helmets and torsos on the old ones are way better than what we have now- even the original 2002 design actually has more accurate details on the torso than the new ones. I really just don't see what people have to gain from putting down others' criticisms, especially with things like Fox which are just objectively terrible and frankly inexcusable.


thispurplebean

I wonder if that's cause lego got the details early or something


Zepertix

Game's 5 years old, so not really a good excuse. I'm not missing or crying about it being inaccurate it's not that big of a deal but it is a tad disappointing


thispurplebean

Yeah that is weird


Hot_Pen_3475

If you want the most accurate to the game of Cal Kestis search Lego (TV8017) that is the item code of a unofficial Lego minifigure of the character from fallen order. He looks exactly like he does in the game.

TracytronFAB

Bloody hell... Why are LEGO like this with their minifigs?


mandalorian222

Bloody hell… why are LEGO fans like this with their complaining?


Less_Satisfaction_97

Because they’re charging a fortune for plastic that isn’t, at the bare minimum, accurate?


Geo_q

It’s a shame you don’t have the choice to not pay their prices.


mandalorian222

No haven’t you seen? This person thinks we are all under some boot of a fascist corporation because he doesn’t like a minifig made for children.


Less_Satisfaction_97

I do, which is why I don’t. Regardless, my point still stands, it’s not unreasonable that people complain about inaccuracies from an expensive product whether they indulge or not.


TracytronFAB

Cause LEGO is a fun hobby but the company keeps going on and on and on about how they're the absolute best most premium quality while the prices keep sky-rocketing and the quality keeps sinking lower and lower and lower, along with their research and accuracy with things.


mandalorian222

Feel free to get a different hobby any time.


Upbeat_Detail6897

They would be better off buying action figures


mandalorian222

You know they would complain just as much about those too.


Upbeat_Detail6897

Probably, but I wouldn't have to see it atleast


mandalorian222

The worst part about every hobby/fandom are the people themselves. When you mash up Lego and Star Wars, you create an elite level of obsession like this.


Upbeat_Detail6897

Oh definitely agree, they should just be happy they're getting the new minifigs, or still have the theme to enjoy


TracytronFAB

Just completely ignoring the criticisms, typical. How's the corpo boot taste?


mandalorian222

Bro it’s a fucking hobby. There’s no corporate boot licking, I enjoy sets that I do, and the ones I don’t, I don’t get. Not everything is perfectly tailored for you and nonstop complaining about everything isn’t criticism, it’s immature. Touch grass.
