Oky Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 (edited) Hi, all you animation fans! This thread is all about the animated Star Wars universe! Here, you can post anything related to that topic - news, mocs, custom minifigs, etc! I will begin by showing you my Lego versions of the Animated Pilot Luke and Animated Han Solo Maquettes! So, what do you think? And don't tell me that Han's torso has a terrible decal, I know that... I'm new to the decaling business! Also, what is your opinion on those OT maquettes in the animated style? I think they are great, and it would be awesome if there was a show like that! If you do, too, then take out your SW figs and EF & Avatar heads and start making some animated SW characters! Do you have a Katara head? Then you are perfectly able to make an animated Leia! And Sensei's head would make a great Count Dooku or an Ep 4 Obi Wan! Be creative! You can use the other maquettes as a reference! You can find them here! As mentioned before, you can also post anything else! IMPORTANT: Please do not use this thread to post your hatred for Anime or minifigs in that particular style! As the opening sentence states, this is a thread for those who do like it or at least tolerate it! If you don't like this kind of stuff, this is not the thread for you! Enjoy! And may the Animation be with you! Edited May 25, 2008 by Hinckley I did that thing again where I take the 'all-caps' out of the topic title :) Quote
Nikola Bathory Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 I have nothing against Animation as a whole. But "anime" is the name of one particular style of animation and I really really hate it!!! Quote

Me too, dude, me too! But Gendy Tartakovski's style which is a mix of Anime and "normal" cartoons is very good IMO. Edited May 13, 2008 by Oky Wan Kenobi Quote
Clonecommando007 Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 They actually look somewhat cool; a different approach that could be funnier in a comic! Quote
Ras 74 Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Great maquetts! Really like them, and might try this myself. But what happend to the peach ones I know you did take this idea and made them actually size of the origins. But what about to SNOT the standings? Just an Idea. -Ras- Quote
Batbrick Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 I don't get the anime hate, some of the best animatios ever were in that style. It's the "standard" anime I hate, that cliche created by the likes od Pokemon and whatnot. Batbrick Away! Quote
maiq the liar Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Pokemon Games are good, but the anime is mentally retarded "disabled". Also, to the makers of the anime: his name is RED, not ash, you tuna heads! (little maniac mansion reference there...) Quote
Dovchenko Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 Lego Figures have their own smile. No nose whatsoever, dot eyes and a mouth, sometimes a beard, all in the same fasion. 360'ing wrists, moving arms, short, overly-stubby legs. And wedge-shaped torsos. If you ask me, we never needed anime attacks on LEGO in the first place. Lego already made a trademark instead of the bulgy eyes and emotes, as well as cute ball-shaped creatures. No sense to add anime. But if you're willing to like it, by all means like. Quote
Oky Posted May 14, 2008 Author Posted May 14, 2008 Please, guys, stop that. When I said "post anything related to that topic" I meant anything related to SW cartoons & similar art. I just wanted to make this a fun, out-of-the-ordinary thread about that kind of stuff, not a place to debate if the art of Anime or minifigs in anime style stink or not. No offense, but if you feel the need to talk about that kind of stuff, please do that in another forum! So, let's just try to get along here, OK? Thanks! Quote
JimBee Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 pretty good! who would have thought anime heads would look so good on star wars characters? oh wait... but seriously, good job. i think these look alot better than the official anime star wars heads, even though im not too fond of the big eyes. i only have one anime head right now, so good luck in making more!

It's the eyes that get me... if they were a tab smaller, I'd really love it. It's nice to see you exploring new themes and ideas etc. Edited May 14, 2008 by sdpirate Quote
SWMAN Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 Personally, I hate Anime. No offense to you, I just think it is stupid to take characters and draw them so they look nothing like the original character. It seems to serve no point. Quote
The Rancor Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 Those figs look good but there aren't any cartoon serieses of the episodes IV-VI It doesn't seem to make sense unless we already can see an Anime Solo or Luke Quote
Sir Dano Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 Those figs look good but there aren't any cartoon serieses of the episodes IV-VI It doesn't seem to make sense unless we already can see an Anime Solo or Luke You mean like these? Quote
Oky Posted May 17, 2008 Author Posted May 17, 2008 Those figs look good but there aren't any cartoon series of the episodes IV-VI It doesn't seem to make sense unless we already can see an Anime Solo or Luke You're right, there isn't any cartoon, but the designs are there! In the first paragraph of this thread, I provided links to the maquettes that these figs are based on. Quote
captmaarek Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 (edited) Oky Wan Kenobi requested these. Edited May 24, 2008 by captmaarek Quote
Oky Posted May 24, 2008 Author Posted May 24, 2008 (edited) Wow! Thanks, captmaarek, those look great! Slave Leia looks like a perfect adaption to the animated style! But I fear that you missed the point: I wanted to see Katara's head with Leia's cinnamon-bun hair do on it. So, would it be too much to ask of you to take the first and last picture again with the signature Leia hair? Pretty Please? Edited May 24, 2008 by Oky Wan Kenobi Quote
captmaarek Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 (edited) You Slave Driver you... post will be forthcoming in an edit to this post. Hah thats funny but in both sets the first fig seems smaller than the last fig... I didn't plan that... but I thought it was funny after viewing the them. Hope that helps Oky Wan Kenobi.

Dovchenko Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 Oky Wan Kenobi requested these. I like those Leias, a lot... Quote
