The reason Marion Ravenwood had blue eye in the old set was because all of indys love interests had blue eyes. In the old wave all the women he interacted with had blue eyes so that's an awesome nod. Also the old Henry Sr looks more like Sean Connery then the new one
I think that the old Marian Ravenwood minifigure is better, and I have a soft spot for the original Sapito head. The newer one looks a bit too cartoony.
I’m gonna be honest, I think the old Ark looks terrible, the builds for the angels on the top don’t even slightly resemble what they’re supposed to, there’s too much brown when really only the poles should be that color, and it just has a odd shape. Meanwhile, the new Ark has more detail and in my opinion is the clear winner
I agree, what makes the difference in the ark appeal are the two winged Angels, and in the original they did not even try to make them similar. With that said I don't get why they made the two bars gold in the new one, I mean none is accurate and it was very easy to fix the problem. Also the yellow brick in the new one really bothers me, in the end the 2023 ark is an upgrade for sure but a mod here is really needed
I personally think that the original face of Indiana jones is more accurate since it actually has a visible beard from affar, and it makes Indiana look young, but the new one has a very nice hat piece and so is the rest of it!
opinions are subjective, but i prefer the newer face. indy’s stubble is very hard to see from far shots, and the newer face fits lego’s modernised artstyle, the older one is quite generic without the stubble
@@theempireofstuddon’t get me wrong though, the older faces are classic, but lego’s newer diverse set of faces makes things much easier to recognise, atleast for me
@KastriotiAnalysis Yeah I think the good thing about the new face is that it sort of gives lego a new style and it is quite unique but the thing is I am used to the old one so it looks quite odd to me but that could just be me.
Great review, but I’d argue the new fighter pilot is way better. The old one was good, but it’s an infantry soldier with a pilot cap, and nothing like the character in the movie. Cudos to LEGO for actually making a pilot this time
im sorry jonathon im gonna have to disagree with you on the ark, i think the new one is better because 1: it looks more like the the one from the movie. and 2: its actually all gold this time. idc if its stickered or not, also if you dont like the fact you cant remove the poles you can swap out the pieces and make it so you can, it is lego after all. hope this didnt sound angry when you read it in your head i respect your opinion i love the originals too but i have to say the new one looks better. have a wonderful day
@@RichardMontgomeryYT Minifigure series lol. No chance Indiana Jones will get a series but you saying minifigures "never get released on their own" is wrong.
My biggest complaint about all the new Indy minifigures is that his belt should be brown, not black. I hope they fix this in the future if these sets sell well.
This bothers me too. The belt also should not have holes since it’s a web belt. And I like that the end of the belt dangled onto his left leg print on the old minifig. Much more accurate.
Would’ve been funny to see the new Indi head on the new Baloc body as a modern version of the Indi figure that was in the clear Lego block that was given to the people who made the first Lego Indi game
I bet in the future, if they make Kingdom of the Crystal Skull sets, they’d make the hair on Indiana Jones’ hat more grey-ish look, since he grew older in the movie.
The old indy did have a button on his holster but it's like yellow/gold so you can't really see it. If u zoom in on it u can definitely see it. I prefer the old hat but I'd want it to have hair as well. The new hat looks weird and thick. So I'd want the old hat with added hair to the back.
the old torsos look a lot better than the new ones, they're more detailed and less cartoony. i think Henry Jones Sr really suffered from this, his whole minifig looks like a severe downgrade
unpopular opinion but i really don't like the new satipo. I don't like the muted colour detailing in general on all the new figs but on satipo I also don't like how both of his faces are open mouthed. there is no standard face and the spiders are cool but I hate that it means they are permanently there forever. in general the old figs are the win for me
I also don’t like how his hair is the same as the Hovito figure. Same hair pieces on minifigs in the set have to come with a reason or else it’s kinda lazy. I prefer the og hair piece and figure overall anyways
I respect the classics, but I love the new ones. Especially playing Lego Indiana Jones. The old face with the new hat feels off and oddly not Indy no more. They just have that charm. Love old Indy With the new Indy, he looks phenomenal with the new hat and his face looks more alive. Also, he looks just as badass, but looks a bit more vulnerable than the old one. Reason I like that is because of Harrison Ford. Harrison is a badass guy and actor, but the way he puts humanity into his characters and the vulnerability he shows makes him all the more better. The classic just had that heroic look, whilst the new one gives a more accurate humanizing badass Indy. That’s why I love Indy, he’s badass, but he’s stoppable. He just does things to stop being stopped such as not giving up, that’s human! Wished we had a Temple of Doom set, I really want Short Round, Mola Ram, Willie, and even the elephants 😂
thank you, i even think the original indy solidified the classic mid-late 200’s look of lego figures but his face is so generic. they really just changed the eyebrow colours and gave a stubble which is kind of funny looking back. i guess i see original lego indy has his own thing
They're all really good! But is it just me or does the new Indiana Jones mini figure from Raider's of the Lost Ark look more like Garth, the guy who gave Indiana Jones his iconic hat in The Last Crusade? 😂 Still really cool.
One thing no one mentions in these minifig reviews is that on the old figures almost none of the skin printing on the torsos match the head or arms. That was always distracting to me.
Most new ones are better, however I think the old Henry Jones Sr looks much better and way more like Sean Connery. New one is fine but I prefer the old one, other figs I think all are improvements
Indy is a bit of a toss up. They both look great and there's some detail and care that went into both. One detail I haven't seen anyone talk about is the jacket. 08 Indy has that perfect sort of rumpled look you'd expect for him to have while out adventuring, whereas the new Indy has a straight jacket look. Personally, I kind of love Marion's blue eyes, especially just for the fact that it's something Lego doesn't normally do, and here they made it a point to do it on all of the Indy girls. I agree on the "German pilot", the og is better. More detailing and the brown helmet helps add color. The other one is quite plain, although I've seen comparisons made to what they would've worn and it's surprisingly accurate. I don't know how, but the old Henry head just really captures Sean Connery's face.
Yo do you think you could do a Hogwarts legacy custom showcase? The professors, Sebastian, Natty, the shopkeepers, all of the characters are so cool. You make the best custom showcase videos and I haven’t seen anyone on RUclips do it yet. Either way, thanks for the awesome vid as usual Jonathan!
Now where I see them side by side I can for sure say that the new ones compared to the old ones are f*cking trash... The only honorable about the new ones is Indys new hat, and the now accurate skin tone on the torsos.
The new ARK of the Covenant build is ugly AF. The old one was perfect and beautiful in a brick built way. Lego should have kept the same pieces but dunked the color for those parts in the One Ring and old Lego coins chrome gold paint and added stickers.
Do you think the new minifigs are better than the old ones? 👀
I really do want to get one of the sets they look really cool!
GREAT MAN
Just a little comment, the old does have a gold button on his holster

Love how you consider the Ark of Covenant a minifigure.
It's the presence of God, of course he's a minifigure.
It's god
Belloq : It's a transmitter, a radio for speaking to God
Indy: “You want to talk to God? Lets go see him together, I’ve got nothing better to do.”
Yo I never noticed how much the old Henry Jones face looks so much like Sean Connery! The new one isn't bad, but they absolutely nailed the old one
R.I.P Sean Connery
The new one resembles a cheap chinese version of the original minifig change my mind
why does he look like an old Temuera Morrison tho?
@@championsreid7529you're totally right

That's my thing. The new face wold be great if they just made the stubble a touch darker. He looks super baby-faced the way it is currently
The button isn't actually missing on the original holster it's just in gold so blends in more
Good to see these sets modernized! I hope they make more.
Thanks for putting the new hat on the old figure. I feel like that combination is the best version of Indy
It’s funny how we got the Harry Potter hair in 2008 now in 2023 we get a reuse of Ron’s 😂 love seeing the ron hairpiece in black
Love the new hat mold
Great review, but I’d argue the new fighter pilot is way better. The old one was good, but it’s an infantry soldier with a pilot cap, and nothing like the character in the movie. Cudos to LEGO for actually making a pilot this time
When i look at the old ones I just think of the LEGO game
The original Sean Connery figure is by far the best of the two which is a shame
I have the old one but sadly the print on his face has been damaged a bit but i agree the old one is way better
We definitely need more Indiana Jones sets
I was going to make this video on April 1st but I knew you were going to do it first lol
im sorry jonathon im gonna have to disagree with you on the ark, i think the new one is better because 1: it looks more like the the one from the movie. and 2: its actually all gold this time. idc if its stickered or not, also if you dont like the fact you cant remove the poles you can swap out the pieces and make it so you can, it is lego after all. hope this didnt sound angry when you read it in your head i respect your opinion i love the originals too but i have to say the new one looks better. have a wonderful day
The real question, do you think that at least some of the mini figures from the Temple of Doom set will be released on their own?
Minifigures are never released in their own. There is zero chance. Are you loopy?
@@RichardMontgomeryYT Minifigure series lol. No chance Indiana Jones will get a series but you saying minifigures "never get released on their own" is wrong.

Nice idea for a vid bro 👍🏻

I'd love to have a new Dovchenko minifig from Crystal Skull

Ah yes, my favorite Indiana Jones minifigure: The Ark of the Covenant
They are so good
the old torsos look a lot better than the new ones, they're more detailed and less cartoony. i think Henry Jones Sr really suffered from this, his whole minifig looks like a severe downgrade
I like to see them do these soldier figs
The only thing I didn’t like about Baloc is that he didn’t have the short sleeves like he did in the movie
Good point.
Belloq*
I didn’t know how to spell his name

You should do a road to the dial of destiny
Do you guys mow if there will be Indy sets about the new Movie?

Cool
Maybe I should get these new ones
Man I wish the Temple of doom set wasn't canceled
2008 indiana looks better

NGL I Like all the newer one's better BUT The Old Henry Jones Sr. Face Really looks like Sean Connery.
I agree that the old Henry jones is better but bad choice of wich ark is better
Have to say the new Henry Jones head is a big downgrade in my opinion
The new Indiana Jones minifigure is nice, but I don't like its face print
old indiana jones looks so much better
