I hope they do a pain box/gom jabbar set. Stepping on the pieces barefoot will give anyone a taste of the trial.

didn’t understand the Baron “minifig” (‘mini’, really?) until i reviewed the 2021 scene…
then i guess the ultra-long vat suit makes sense (kinda)

What the actual whaaaat?? That’s amazing.
Has there ever been a comparable bizarrely shaped minifig before?

My son sent me the product link last night, with the message “Christmas present? 
”
Nah - not at that price!

I don’t think the fig is so mishapen, just on a clear stand with the loooooong cloak.
for others, there are Yoda and Grogu figs. mostly same top but smaller legs
edit: there have also been some ‘hats’ that go over the full chest and head giving a larger torso to the fig

Walking without rhythm is much easier with little round dents in the soles of your feet.

The minifig is confusing and amazing. I bet that this set will sell well with collectors based on this minifig alone since it’s such an unusual piece that likely won’t be reused elsewhere

im at that point where I have more lego than time. so in a few years when she is of old enough, my goddaughter is getting my entire 49 years worth of collecting. Then, I start again.

I had no Legos growing up. My parents bought some abomination called American Bricks instead. 
I rectified this grotesque error with my own son, alas, he has entirely too many Legos. 
@akbar5656: My first mission when I retire is reassembling each set from the morass of bricks lurking in the enormous tub-o-bricks in the basement. I will probably spend months satisfying my OCD first, separating bricks by size/type/color.

Oh, huh, you’re right, I think it’s a soft robe, not a solid piece as I was reading it at first:
But that’s also confusing, as a non-connoisseur of Lego. Are there many other minifigs with soft clothing?

Superheros that normally sport capes have soft capes. That’s about it.
