Ferrik Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Is this just in your LotR sets, or are you talking about across all your Lego themes? And if your LotR sets, is it just the orcs or flesh colored heads as well that have the 3 bar design? Well for me all the fleshies in LOTR have a filled head, while for all (or maybe most) of all my other themes including CMF and HP, they have the 3-bar design. And thanks for all that info, Deathleech. Quote
Deathleech Posted July 14, 2012 Author Posted July 14, 2012 (edited) Thanks for the explanation, Deathleech. No problem, though davee123 deserves a lot more credit than I do. I think it's interesting to note that of the LotR figures I have, NONE of the flesh colored ones have the 3 bar design on their head stud. It seems only one person(?) has a flesh colored figure with a 3 bar head stud, but other than that everyone seems to have the filled design on their LotR minifigs. ALL the Mordor Orcs that I have heard about have the 3 bar stud design so those two groups (Mordor Orcs and humans) seem to all be produced from the same mold with little to no variance. The Uruk-hai on the other hand, are a different story. They seem to be a mixed bag. As of right now I have roughly 36 Uruk-hai excluding Lurtz and the Berserker. Of them, 7 have the 3 bar design and the other 29 have it filled. That means just under 20%(19.4% to be exact) of them are from the older molds and the other 80% are from the new. Unless I just got a really mixed up bunch of sets, that should give us a little idea of how many old/new head molds are in use. Of course we would need LOTS more data to get a more accurate number, but 1/5 molds being the older 3 bar design seems likely. I am sure in the future we will see less and less of the old 3 bar design until it disappears completely. Edited July 14, 2012 by Deathleech Quote
purpleparadox Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) Well, my Frodo and Sam both have the filled-in design. In case anyone's interested, I checked a couple of colours of heads other than flesh too; Mace Windu had the 3-bar design, Asajj Ventress had filled, and Savage Opress was filled. EDIT: Although I know the other heads are from a different theme. Edited July 15, 2012 by purpleparadox Quote
