Second lol
im gonna go monkey mode now: Where chima? so much animals! Chima better than ninjago! yes
forth lol'
You forgot the Stingrays.
I still remember that time when some 90s-00 Legos sets fell off a boat and the pieces ended up a beach years later , ironanycally the pieces were from acuatic related sets like cocodriles , octopusses, sea shells and boats
Pushed off on purpose
plus a lot of black dragons and some green ones. They still continue to wash ashore to this day but not as frequently as before. Tom Scott made a video about it a year ago or so and there's also written a book about it.
Not really ironic it’s actually a interesting coincidence
Not all of them. There were a few yes but other sets aswell. A few of the oldschool 3 piece dragons (the ones that use the crocodile head and tail) have washed up so there were some castle themed sets on the ship
I want to go there so I can get some pieces and mini figures
I love the classic lego monkeys, they always seemed to me very organic in any series and looked more natural
I can get behind the new horses in lego castle, but the classic monkey with the 4 minifig hands is the only monkey touching my pirate ships!
I wish they still made Lego monkeys. Those four minifig arms make them look so cool, but I missed out on all the sets that had them.
They've long moved on from those designs since then. There are atleast 2 modern variants that are being produced
as a kid i had the monkey, shark, red parrot (my favourite), crocodile, green dragon, grey parrot, octopus and some horses. i had all of those since most of them came from rather unexpensive sets. unfortunately they are all gone, and i kinda want to cry
@@puisnode I feel you. I had a horse as a kid that had a bunch of native american themed printing all over it that I lost long ago, still regret it to this day lol
@@Gameprojordan where can I get a modern monkey?
@@kanesmith8271 off the top of my head the Jane Goodall tribute features the monkeys that are sitting with one paw scratching their head. And the lego city 2022 rescue theme has a little $10 ATV set that comes with 2 monkeys that feature a long tail that you can hang it off stuff with, and one non-articulating hand sticking out that you can clip things onto
It's fascinating to see how often the old designs they got rid of look better than the new ones within the context of the lego world.
The old Lego monkey mold is the best thing ever, it can hold 4 guns or 4 swords at a time
Just commented this elsewhere and I'm glad I'm not the only child who realized the raw chaotic potential of the OG monkeys.
Don't forget that you could use the tail to hold a cutlass by the blade, giving you five weapons.
I kinda like the old crocodile more than the new one. The blockier body fits the blocky world of lego a lot more. It's weird if the whole world is made of simple geometric shapes, but then the animals are all super detailed.
I totally agree but imo the croc’s legs are so short 😂
Yeah, I really hate the new design too. It looks like Duplo.
@@Eddies_Bra-att-ha-grejer nah the duplo croc was way more goofy
@@godwinyan5448 yeah
I kinda like that kind of charm, the charm of a super complex design in a world of simple designs
I used to collect Lego animals as a kid, along with the sets in general. My parents made me sell all my toys once I turned 12 because I was “too old” but I stashed away all the animals in supply boxes in my underwear drawer. I wonder if I could still find them amongst my things still left at their house.
Your parents sound like horrible people. Who the heck thinks *twelve* is too old to have toys?!
Unironically I like the engraved eyes and plainer designs for the animals, rather than the printed ones. They’re less specific, but as a kid I only had a few animals so all my minifigures had to have German Shepherds instead of any other kind of brown dog. And the printed eyes look silly on the big cats and sea creatures
Well it is a child's toy
Why, uh
Why the "Unironically" bit?
@@AnonyMous-wo1vm it's synonymous in usage as "sincerely"
@@HellecticMojo ye but why use unironically rather than sincerely
@@godwinyan5448 because you can use them interchangeably. Pay attention.
I kinda love those old Fabuland minifigs. They’re like retro Animal Crossing characters.
I have that set he showed in the start plus another fabuland minifig
There was actually Some more ocean creatures Lego added recently like the stingray hammerhead shark and the anglerfish and this video is very well done.
Dolphins too
and hermit crab
Theres also a Mosasaurus.
@9LeftyRBLX
No there’s not
Don’t forget the elephants and lions released in 2021
Those dragons still hold up well today, I have both the green and black and they’re really cool!
Agree the dragon was my personal favorite. 💖🐉
My favorite is the black with gold print and special gold chrome head.
A few little ones you missed out: bat (1997), snake (1997), scorpion (1998), spider (1999).
Foal is also released with a new mold recently in CMF line.
My five-year-old and I have been playing through Bricktales together and putting animals on all the builds, so I was telling him how awesome it was when Lego first dropped those specific animals. Adventurers and Fright Knights brought in a lot of cool stuff.
That one green dragon
Spider is ICONIC!
and frog!
2:25 My dad has this piece in an old bucket of LEGO.
@MrKrabs I never thought of that
@MrKrabs It's not
The lego Jurassic World line was not the first to include a modified dinosaur mold, those were just reprinted figures from the lego dino theme
I remember getting the Lego Jurassic Park 3 set that came with the whole film cd. A custom Spino model for sure.
My favorite line. I still want that triceratops fig
When I was young, we had one of those old parrots from the pirates sets. We called him coco and his silhouette inspired us to give it the power to become like a bullet, penetrating any wall, destroying anything in his way. We built huge megablock castles and he busted right through them. Blessed be coco the bullet parrot.
3:52 calls it a alligator, then proceeds to show steve erwin feeding a crocodile
What about Snake, spider, scorpion, frog and squirrel?
Also the lamb
hare is on my list to get... and now otters?
Regardless of if you prefer the old style, or new style of these animals, can we at least agree that molded specific animals are better than the brick built ones?
1000%, unless the animals are EXTREMELY large (like, ninjago dragon levels of large) they're better off as molded pieces
@@Gameprojordan yea, and I’d also give Brick built Insectoid creatures a pass too
@@Albino_Basilisk for sure, basically any creature that's as large/larger than a vehicle that requires a bunch of intricate detail should be brickbuilt with some specialized pieces. Something like an elephant, where although it's a large figure, is very plain in terms of detail would be better off as a molded piece
@@Gameprojordan correct
3:43 I’m still not used to the new alligator 3:46 true same thing with sharks
My favorite Lego animal is the dog.
They look so cute in Lego form.
So very cute and wonderful! The details are amazing in this!
While a lot of the newly introduced animals are neat, I like the look of the original molds of the ones that updated. I like the simple round holes for eyes and the blocky, geometric shapes; they seem to fit in better with Lego’s aesthetic, especially with the blocky mini figs. I don’t care so much for the printed evil/angry eyes.
THE FROG!! YOU FORGOT THE LEGO FROG!!
Yeah! That's the best one
I always really liked the dragons that came with the fantasy era Castle sets.
The old shark is defo a favorite.
But the green dragon with red wings is up there.
The nostalgia of it is too big.
And the ride at Legoland based on it is super fun too
Dude THANK YOU for making a LEGO animal video and including prehistoric animals, most LEGO animal tops and videos tend to exclude my prehistoric boios and include fictional animals. So thanks a lot for including them!
Worth noting that the LEGO Goat is one of the most valuable LEGO animals ever and its price continues to rise. It only came out in one set in 2011, Mill Village Raid 7189 and included two goats, which now fetch a price of about $100 each or just under if they are still new and sealed in their bags. Even then a used one can go for ~$80-$100. Funnily enough just yesterday I bought two of them the other day online. Hoping to build a LEGO farm shortly. Great video, just subscribed. Wish I found this channel much sooner.
I have both those goats actually! Their very cool and I’m glad to own em
@@ClassicStudStudios Awesome! Can’t wait to get mine! A piece I’ve wanted for a long time, I’d love the whole set but I really just want the goats and it’s cheaper to just get them separately
@@isaacallender I got the set as a kid and it was great! But the goats are what remains unfortunately:( but yes! Hope you enjoy your goats
At those prices I'd make a rare exception and just buy some knock-off versions until they start being included in new sets again. Ridiculous to pay that much for one official goat figure
@@Gameprojordan ooooof. Ya so I’m funny thing, lego can’t make goats, they destroyed the mold so official goats are actually limited incredibly
Though I can’t blame ya for wanting knockpff
the green, the red, the fire the OG green dragon was just amazing
i remember my older brother painting more detail on it like scales, claws and a mean look i abolutely loved that thing
The orignal Lego T.rex and the octopus were my favorites. XD
You forgot the Stingray
I miss the original monkey and printed parrot. I also really wish I'd gotten the baby T. Rex. Thirdly, I wish the larger shark from Agents that you could fit a minifig inside of had seen more use.
I found some kinda of underwater mythical/dino creature that uses the old elephant body pieces, it was light blue, if I recall correctly, it was in a line of similar underwater creatures. Also, super excited for the new lego otters coming in 2023 :D
You might be thinking about the Mosasaurus from the Dinosaurs line.
@@cheepmovprod That's the one!
These are all amazing and just opens the door to so many new animals in the coming years.
I cannot imagine life without lego
6:54 it surprises me that the wargs were similar to these cats but released 5 years before them
Something about the classic animals and creatures in normal and licensed sets is miles more charming and enjoyable to look at than the modern ones.
Maybe it's just my nostalgia talking but I like the old designs better on every single animal. The horse is iconic to me. The monkey was the coolest because of the 4 arms. You could put it in all kinds of situations. Why they feel the need to print all over these designs is beyond me. The whole point of Lego is to build your own world. So making a specific breed of dog or making the animals have specific facial expressions goes agains everything I understand about Lego.
The dinosaur models used in the Jurassic world line were first used in the Lego Dino line. One of the personal favorites.
That chimpanzee piece goes hard 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Maybe I'm wrong or maybe it wasn't well known but I'm pretty confident that the first appearance of the updated dino molds now in use was in the original Lego theme simply known as dino. It is possible that this short lived theme slipped your mind or maybe was a Europe exclusive theme but either way just thought I'd mention it!
We definitely had Dino in the US too. Easily my favorite modern-ish theme. I wish they would bring it back but I know Jurassic World fills that niche for most people.
@@thesalamanderking3475 They reuse too many parts
You are correct
The Dino line had
Rex
Rapters
Pteranodon
Triceratops
Smaller dinos that could be Tordon or Coelophysis
As the Jurassic Line added
Gallimimus
Dilophosaurus
Carnotaurs
Giganotosaurus
indominus Rex
indoraptor
Quetzalcoatlus
Therizinosaurus
ankylosaurus
Baryonyx
nasutoceratops
stygimoloch
And Atroceraptor
I remember that theme had a really fun online game. Honestly it probably wasn't actually that good, but I loved it as a kid
edit: It's called Dino Attack or Dino 2010
eidt 2: I just found some videos of the game, wow so many memories
What about the spider and snake pieces?
The classic 1991 Green dragon is one of my faves. I have one but technically it's my moms but it's missing one of it's wings.
my top 3 for the animals are:
original monkey,
original croc,
original horse
Such a Great video
My gran used to have the old pirate and knight sets and the monkey’s/sharks are what we had. And the og Fluffy figure from the old Harry Potter sets was one particular figure I always wanted.
There’s another version of the German Shepherd, where it has black on the sides too
I would have added the great white shark from 6243 and 8633 sets (also the zombified version appearing in the Silent Mary PotC set)
My personal favourite is the Smaug dragon from the Hobbit set lonely mountain - it's a thing of beauty.
Smaug is one of the best Lego dragons because of the articulation and foldability of the wings!
It;s also interesting that Duplo actually had animals before and made many more, Duplo had panthers and tigers in the 90s way before the normal Lego system
The shark is my favorite Lego animal
6:43 wait a minute I know that Lego make camels but *ostriches?* I never knew
Fun fact, the very bottom piece of the elephant trunk was actually also used in the Lego helms deep set as the horn that gimli blows
It's been used in quite a few sets, including the newest Avatar sets in various colors.
My favorite LEGO animal is the skunk!
A monkey holding a katana is the most cursed thing I’ve ever seen
Very suprising
I like the older designs more then new once. Like the shark find it sad that it just have to be a bad guy now. My favorite is the ape, but that most bacause it was rare find in our lego box when I was kid so there where always a match on who got it. I also like the Dragon, Shark and Crocodile alot.
My favorite Lego animal is actually Momo, from the Incredibly short-lived Avatar The Last Airbender line. As far as I know he's the only Lego lemur, and I once saw someone creativity use 4 Momos as gargoyles for a Lego skyscraper.
Damn, what a flex to show they have four Momos. Those go for $30-$200+ each online.
That green dragon reminds me of the wells flag even though its not red
Imagine getting every Lego animal and being able to make a Lego zoo
I had all the prince of Persia sets as a kid, I wanted them due to the cool pieces 😅 I had never seen the movies
💀 is it rat killing time ! 🎶 me “yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” 😂 best intro ever 😆
I own maybe 5 of the original horses, as well as some old Lego knights and astronauts.
Also my favorite Lego animal has to be the cat or sheep. Both my fav animals!
I love the oldschool molds way more than the modern ones. They feel more unique and lego like than the new more detailed ones
I totally forgot about the monkey!🤣
When you mention the sea creatures, you totally forgot about the stingray!
Love the video man and thank you for not including all the Duplo and all the friends lines of animals as I feel like they could use a video on their own
My best friend who most of her Lego sets are from Lego Friends, has a lot of different adorable Lego tiny animals.
Is interesting see how the also have evolved
Cool Video, Spitbrix! 2:07 Also, I'm surprised you were able to get Optimus Primal (TF BW) in this vid, Lol!!
My fav animal (Well one of them) has to be the dog, more specifically the German Shepherd, cuz its just iconic, I like the other dogs and animals, of course.
It would be nice to see a video about Duplo animals or other Duplo fact videos. I know that those are for small kids but I am sure that there are plenty of interesting facts about Duplo also. :)
Definitely a few missing from this video, but still a worthwhile watch
My favourite LEGO animal is the skeleton horse. They're great.
2:18 We had that set! This just unlocked so many childhood memories, my brother and I loved to make the shark eat random stuff
I still have one of those old monkeys, I wish I knew where it was in my room 💀
I had set 6709 as a kid! The one and only western set I ever owned
You missed all the sharks
There was a giant shark, a robot shark recolor, and finally the realistic great white repaint. Plus the hammerhead
I dunno, I might just like sharks too much
I'm just so happy I get to own creatures that Wayne Barlowe got to design, and in Lego form no less. (Cestrals, Monster Book, and the majority of Pandora's species.)
I love collecting Lego animals of all sorts, especially if they're unique. One of my favorites is the three-tailed wolf from a Ninjago set. Bought the set just for that. Never watched the show, but Ninjago always has neat parts.
You forgot about the Labrador mold it comes in light brown and brown
My favorite Lego animals have been the dinosaurs. I had all the dinosaur themed sets as a kid
90's stingray: "Am I a joke to you?"
9:22 I remember building that dino and thinking it was really goofy as a kid
What about the Lego sting ray? Also good job on the video it turned out great!
I've just discovered your channel yesterday. I usually only watch reviews or comparisons of built set but this kind of videos is also very interesting. It's like a documentary about Lego. I will watch this video then check the rest of your content. I hope you have videos about Lego Space and minifigs!
omg when that dragon came up i instantly remembered the smell of my fathers lego
Just pointing out that he missed the reindeer from the Lego Santa’s sleigh set
I remember going out of my way to disassemble the monkey from my pirates sets in order to get extra minifig arms.
I wish lego got the old vibes back… i want the vibe you get at legoland with themes like castle or prirates, not the feeling you get when stepping in a lego store. Idk if its just me, but it feels soooo different
My favorite I’ve became fond of is the Lego wolf mini figures, as well as the dogs.
You'd think there would be a Lego zoo theme, where you get to build enclosures for wild animals and kids can learn about them and the important conservation work of zoos.
My mouth literally fell open at that Belville cat set. I had those two girls and those kittens. I wonder where they the dolphin are these days.
I have a lot of nostalgia towards the adventures T.rex because my school had a lego box and me and my friends always played lego and i used to always be the T. rex
The old Lego engravings including the molded Minifigures was much better and I loved the more simple designs and that's the point of Lego in the first place.
The Lego Animals that i had in mine Lego sets were the monkey, shark, horses (white, brown and black), the green Dragon and the parrot (both a printed and an unprinted one).
My favorite animal is the Trex from the Lego Jurassic world sets
7:53 The lego adventurers dragon was so badass
Spitbrix:jurassic park
Me:how many times do I have to say it's jurassic world
Mine's the new 2022 elephant and dinosaurs! Great vid
My favourite Lego animals are the Goats ( which I have ) and the modern horses
Fun video...but I wish there was a video that did a complete list of every Lego animal ever made excluding Friends animals. Wouldn't be easy to do, so I say skip unique prints and color variants (unless that makes it a different species ex: the big cats) and just count molds. With what seems like one or two new animals coming out a year now, I'm really hoping to finally get a Gorilla, Giraffe, Rhino, Hippo, (not counting the Friends one), some more unique birds, etc.
Why did I not see the Manta Ray?
That's a cool one.
