So why did lego make the shift to make all licensed brands minifigures use flesh colors? I remember hating the change back in 2005.

Because only Lego autists like the yellow skintone on licensed figures.

Cause a yellow Lando would've looked dumb. And if the rest of the figures stayed yellow, that would've insinuated that yellow = white, which 100% of non-licensed stuff consisted of

Lando was the first non-yellow figure but racially different minifigures really came to be with the NBA line. Lego had to make the figures recognizable as the players. While they do have different faces, it would be difficult to differentiate players had they all been yellow. It makes sense for these figures to have different skin tones, they have to portray their characters often played by real people.

Lego has vastly improved their figures since the time of early 2000s Harry Potter. We're seeing huge availability, variety, better printing and more accurate representations while still not being overly specialized with the new sets. As well as better set builds and a larger amount of elements to build with. Though I do agree that vintage Lego has a certain charm.

Those fucking faces are when I stopped buying LEGO. They pushed those stupid ape ball figures so hard in LEGO magazine. I wanted ninjas and spaceships, not overpaid muscle heads

Yeah, they were odd looking. You have to admit the new Harry Potter figures are pretty good looking though.

Not a big loss really... Old faces don't really match well with the deluge of modern prints on yellow faces we have now. Funny enough you post that image OP, because the Harry Potter series really had some wretched prints looking back.

I had most of the Harry Potter sets from their first run. I remember having like 20-30 of those same grey Hogwarts uniforms and swapping out Harry, Ron and Hermione heads to make my own characters. 2002 had some unique ones like Dobby, goblins and the cave troll.

>wasting an entire minifig wave on tumblr potter shit
I hope this wave rots on shelves, lego deserves to lose money on this for making this entire year devoid of normal minifig waves, just a shitty costume themed set and now harry potter shit.

The last CMF had some nice callback figs like Rocket Racer. And fuck off with this tumblr shit, I know Rowling has gone off the deep end in recent years and the fandom has turned to shit, but the franchise is neither the worst, nor tumblr. The bulk of HP came out before tumblr even existed ffs.

The entire series became nothing but shipping drama past the third book and made all the magic elements and wonder as a side story mostly forgotten about
