That looks... ugly.

Starting to think Lego finally realized how big the adult nerd merch market is and now they're all in. Look I'm sure this set makes certain demographics on the Internet very happy, but it just highlights how different Lego is these days. For better or worse, Lego would never have produced this set 10 years ago. It's an awkwardly rendered head of a videogame character and that's it. Fuck, I'm gonna rant now.

I know it's been said a million times, but I really miss old Lego themes untied to other brands. I'm aware that Star Wars and other IP saved the company from going under 20+ years ago, but they're not a struggling business anymore. They don't need to be making displays of pop culture references instead of original concepts to stay afloat; they're doing it because it's insanely profitable. Just make something new, please. I don't even want "old Lego" nostalgia fan service with revived legacy themes. Just do something other than "city" that isn't based on some other company's media.

It looks disturbing
