For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated with the idea of making my LEGO models move. One of the things that lifts LEGO models to the the next level is movement. One of the amazing things about LEGO® bricks is that they can be used to construct the most amazing models. In the future I will build some more, and look at the programs involved along the way.
This article is as much for the beginner, trying to understand where to look for information, and finding out what my personal experience was like with the first couple of models. In which I recall making models move in simpler times, invest in a LEGO Boost Creative Toolbox set, and set about meeting Vernie the robot. I would also like to look at LEGO Star Wars sets released since the Force Awakens… Continue reading →
OCTOBER 2017 LEGO SETS MOVIE
I would like to look specifically at LEGO City, overall, as well as broken down into its major sub themes The LEGO Batman Movie The LEGO Ninjago Movie, and also LEGO Friends. The impending release of the Ideas set ‘Women of NASA’ is also of interest, as it certainly demonstrates a desire to see inspirational female role models immortalised in LEGO form.
I thought it would be interesting to revisit the question of gender distribution in some popular LEGO themes, and see if there were any significant shifts in trends over the last 12 months, when I last reviewed the numbers.
This post was provoked, in part after reading a comment about the relatively low female representation in the Collectable Minifigure sets recently released. This set is due to be released this week from LEGO retail stores. By the end of the year, we will have seen a new Star Wars movie, Wonder Woman and Justice League movies, The LEGO Batman Movie and LEGO Ninjago Movie released. In the years since LEGO Friends had been released, there had been some positive trends towards an equal balance, after starting from a pretty low base line (around 11% in 2012) up to 30% in the Volcano Sub-theme of LEGO City in 2016.Īs well as supporting the regular themes, 2017 has been a big year for LEGO tying in with cinematic releases, with both inhouse and external IP. A little over a year ago, I wrote up an analysis of gender distribution in LEGO® Minigures in the post friends era.
