Random minifig of the day: sh808

This name of this figure sounds to me like a cat with a pending hairball ejection.

Eviscerated alien cyborg?

I don't know, he's kind of oddly endearing, compared to... https://brickset.com/article/100159/random-minifig-of-the-day-belvmale17

Here’s another challenge to the definition of minifigure.

I was unaware of the existence of Korg and Miek before the MCU came along, so I quite like 40525. Plus, as @BrickHelix says, Sets that let you army-build the Chitauri are cool!

you FEATURE Miek? You feature their minifigure like the 3411 ?! oh! oh! prison for Huwbot! Prison for huwbot for Ten Thousand Years!

This is what can happen when your kids have access to your small parts bin. The design kind of makes sense in that regard, but the result remains questionable.

Should've made it a full minifig with accurate graphics for the torso and legs.
Put in the long blades into the hands.
With the mold they have now for Echo's crippled leg, they could use that now for Miek.
And they have shoulder/neck armor elements from various characters they could match closely and recolor to match the character more.

It is interesting that LEGO does refer to this thing as a minifigure. Droids and so on are often omitted from the minifigure count in set descriptions or called characters rather than minifigures but they say there are five minifigures in this set, and include it in the list.

Be like Miek

I think it works fine as a minifig,personally

"Comics Miek was...not this, and definitely a much more horrifying character.

And Korg was much more than Taika Waititi with a silly personality."

Lore Time:

Comics-Miek was part of an insectoid race, native to Sakaar. When he was captured by the guy who ran Sakaar, the Red King (so, not charming and affable Jeff Goldblum), he was cut off from his hive, most of which was destroyed altogether. Miek kind of had it rough.

When the Hulk landed on Sakaar (due to meddling from people he thought were his life-long friends), he wound up fighting in the same arena as Miek, Korg, and another handful of outcasts. Rising up and starting a rebellion, they forged a bond in blood.

With the rebellion won, and Hulk firmly in place as the new head honcho of Sakaar, life was pretty good for his Warbound, including Miek. But then, disaster! The spaceship that carried Hulk to Sakaar blew up, causing a chain-reaction that would end up destroying all of Sakaar, including Hulk's wife, who was also part of his Warbound.

Hulk rode a chunk of Sakaar's remains to Earth, to take vengeance on his former friends who had not just hurled him into space, but also inadvertantly destroyed his new happy home. It wasn't pleasant. Back on Earth, it was a surprisingly one-sided battle of Hulk and his Warbound against Hulk's former friends (and their various super-teams).

Miek, through all of this, would seem like a true and loyal friend, and kind of a powerhouse in his own right who held his own against Ms. Marvel. Unfortunately, it would also come to light that Miek knew that the ship was sabotaged, did nothing to prevent that, and kept quiet about it so as to keep Hulk's anger going. Miek did very well for himself during the conflict, and did not want that to die down. Subsequently, Miek got the crap kicked out of him by his former Warbound.

Somehow, Miek survived, and kept piling on betrayal upon betrayal, spilling precious secrets and backstabbing the Hulk wherever possible. Miek is not a good dude.

Long story short: Miek is a kind of an irredeemable gaping sphincter, and honestly, decapitation's too good for him. This horrible minifig is too good for him. I hate Miek so much."

I hate that the MCU's adaptation of Planet Hulk was reduced to punching Thor in an arena. There's an animated adaptation that's much, much closer (though it omits the tragic ending).
