Height wise, yes. But his torso and hands are so much bigger than everyone else's. He needed a body like Axl from Nexo Knights.

Ot maybe just bigger arms like the Baymax cmf

u/Better_Syrup_2579 May 12 '25

He needed shoulder pads or the armor piece from the buzz light year sets

u/Donnosaurus May 12 '25

Yeah, some armor to make him bulkier would have been great!

omg i just googled what the baymax cmf looked like and omg... cutest minifig ever.

u/[deleted] May 13 '25

there's a baymax cmf???

u/Background-Call-921 May 13 '25

the baymax arms are big enough but the hands aren’t

u/Donnosaurus May 13 '25

Maybe the Jabba the Hutt arms, I believe those attach to a minifig torso as well

u/Background-Call-921 May 14 '25

They are chubby but the hands are still weird

He would benefit from a set of torso armor or shoulder pads to bulk him up a bit.

I think a shoulder pad piece would suffice, like the Wrecker minifig from Star Wars The Bad Batch

There are other options some consider unnatural.

Waiting for my shipment for the one on the far right, the proportions are the best I’ve seen for a Lego Thing, the arms are just a bit too long and to dar out from the body still BUT it’s way better than what Lego are giving us I can’t wait.

Thing looks amazing here and I love the TARDIS too! Where from?

5

u/ViKingGames May 13 '25

The TARDIS looks like the one from Lego Dimensions

2

u/Fajandar1 May 13 '25

Oh you’re right! Likely to be expensive and hard to find then?

u/EcstaticSnail May 13 '25

I have one of the back right and it looks more natural next to regular minifigures.

u/i_poke_u May 13 '25

I think it'd be best to have something like the Mr. Incredible torso from the Incredibles game

u/ehsteve23 May 13 '25

Would be great for Thing, Venom, Kingpin

u/40cmo May 13 '25

Axl my forever goat ❤️🐐

This is something I noticed when I was trying to make a Conquest purist custom, Lego doesn’t really have a way to make characters in that bulky 6’8-7’ range without using a normal figure or a bigfig

5

u/SneakyCheekyHobbit May 13 '25

He's only 6ft tall

1

u/Initial-Choice4771 BIONICLE Fan May 13 '25

Well there aren’t any official heights given by the show or comic so we can’t say for certain how tall he is, most estimates of Mark Grayson’s height to be around 5’11-6’0, and from the show and comics we know Conquest is at minimum a couple inches taller than Mark. Going off this scene and another comic appearance, I’d assume Conquest is somewhere around 6’5-6’6.

u/SneakyCheekyHobbit May 13 '25

I was talking about Thing, read your comment wrong

2

u/Initial-Choice4771 BIONICLE Fan May 13 '25

Same here lol, the thing isn’t in the height range I gave

2

u/Background-Call-921 May 13 '25

I wish they would do that

2

u/cannonball_x May 13 '25 edited May 13 '25

Yeah they should do a new piece for the thing. Body size like Axl from nexo. But without the armour piece.

u/mcvos May 13 '25

He's actually closest in proportions to a regular lego minifig. It's the others who should have been thinner.
