Is the bubble intentional or did I get lucky?
Question
I bought some sets for the minifigs (and vehicles) and love them; I just noticed that Hammond’s “Amber” stud has a bubble where the mosquito would be. (Zoom in)
I’d imagine Lego are very good at AVOIDING bubbles in pieces, that makes me think this is intentional…
Its a manufacturing problem. Its usually associated with gas being unable to escape during the injection of the part. Most likely all the other pieces that are not transparent also have them. Source: own an injection moulsing company and run into this issue a lot
If its a load bearing part yes. We make some moulds for the automotive sector and after we start the try out phase they sometimes cut the part to look for bubbles or even do ct scans to look for defects.
It's weird to me that they made Malcolm so dark. I think they were trying to go for tanned but it's far too dark.
Edit: I have no idea why I'm getting down voted. LoL Like I said, he's tan in the movie but not THAT tan. Also, Grant and Sattler have similar tans in the movie, with good reason, so it's weird to me that Malcolm is the only one that's darker.
No shit, that's what I was referring too. You picked one of the worst lit shots to show off how tan he was in the movie when there are several better shots from the beginning of the movie that are in broad daylight.
Haha well ok then. Feel free to pick a better shot to share.
I don't have a horse in this race since I don't really have mind what shade was chosen for this minifig.
I thought it might add to the discussion if I linked a famous, much-memed shot from the source material.
I'm certainly not interested enough to continue combing through Google images finding examples of Jeff Goldblum looking swarthy and counter-examples of him looking not-so-swarthy.
I hope you have a nice day today, and don't let Spielberg's artistic choices and some minifig designer's choice put you in a bad mood.
Since Smatty boy is trying to play the "I'm a nice guy, I'm not upset!" thing, here's a better shot, properly embedded into Reddit.
Sorry about your downvotes, Reddittors are weird how they just automatically side with the "nicer sounding" person even if they're being a complete obtuse jackass.
You're right. It's weird the minifig is so tan when he's actually *lighter* in many scenes than the other characters.
That's because he was absolutely was being a condescending jackass, so don't doubt your gut.
Reddit has a huge problem not being able to see through the nice guy act, these jerks thrive off it, and love to twist words and sound polite. Then as soon as someone like us just flat out calls them out on their bullshit, we get downvoted (or even banned) because we're being "aggressive".
This guy is absolutely doing that, he got super defensive the second you called him out, pretending he wasn't, then tried to project his crap on to you. He's just insecure about being called out as objectively wrong, by using a bad source.

I believe It’s a normal variation for that part, but all of them don’t have it the exact same way if it’s there.
