I thought once about trying to get the parts, but the only official minifigs I've gotten the parts to make from PaB are https://brickset.com/minifigs/hol383/elf-red-holiday-sweater-with-reindeer-bright-green-helmet-and-air-tanks and a couple of https://brickset.com/minifigs/twn529/ghost-with-wavy-mouth.

Still available but that price of € 2,49 is also stopping me.

They went all out on this minifigure. Looks incredible.

So...if ya' hit him in the front, does he 'turn off/'power down'...:)

Got one of these in a Dreamzzz magazine a couple of weeks ago, and I'm still seeing it on shelves. Love the helmet, though it is awfully specific! The head is versatile and fun too

The helmet is pretty specific, yes - but it also really matches the aesthetic of Ninjago's "Prime Empire" subtheme.

Although that theme still had the trans-neons. In order to properly compare the looks, we would need to bring back trans-neon (you cowards).

If you're on a Windows computer, go to the character map under Start > Windows Accessories. Double click the é, click Copy, then paste it into the comment field. If you're on a Mac, I can't help you.

This guy is Punk as HELL!

You mean an accent?

Lego’s villain distribution for their original themes is always a little baffling to me.

This guy? 3 sets

That D-Shock thing? 2 sets

Dreamsmasher and One? 1 set apiece.

It’s like how the Forbidden Five from Ninjago had the male members all appear in multiple sets, but the two female members only got one set each unless you count magazine packs.

iOS, tap and hold the letter and the accents for that letter all become options, slide your finger to the one you want. On desktop… it’s been a while but I believe it’s just hold the option key and tap e to get é.

Well, yes, technically, but unless you’re typing everything in Spanish, it’s generally accepted that the accents and tilde are implied. Especially on the internet where many people don’t know how to access them (even though anyone with internet access can always pull up foreign alphabets on Wikipedia and copy/paste individual letters, regardless of whether they know how to use a computer). But the important thing is spelling it with a “J”, so you know you’re talking about the brother of Juan and Javier, and not something you use to water your flower garden.

Sounds like you understand exactly how things work. CMFs? Gender parity whenever possible. Ninjago? Nya still gets treated like a supporting character. @Hiratha, you want one to complain about? There you go. The theme’s 15 years old already, and still gives the _one_ original female character substandard outfits and infrequent appearances. Kind of like how Spain resolutely refuses to admit that “ch”, “ll”, and “rr” are all two-letter combinations that change the way the component letters are pronounced, and not three distinct letters themselves.

@PurpleDave

Are you under the impression I *haven’t* been complaining about Ninjago’s gender balance? :) I assure you I have. I never *want* one, though. I’ve been geeking while female for a long time. None of this is either new or interesting or fun anymore, it’s just that giving up is worse. Also, I have a number of female geek friends who very much do not feel comfortable even being recognisably female in public internet spaces let alone bringing issues up, on account of the inevitable and very tedious harassment, and so since I don’t care as much about stupid threats from weird dudes it may as well be me who does it.

But at least Ninjago puts the female characters on the magazine cover mounts. Dreamzzz hasn’t done it once. The smallest possible pat on the back for Ninjago’s gender efforts.
