I modified the 2023 LEGO Star Wars Coruscant Guard Gunship Set 75354 with Commander Fox, Shock Troopers, Padme, and Palpatine.
I came up with 7 ways to fix your LEGO set and make changes based on what I think the gunship should have looked like.

Its the dealbreaker for me in this set. I can forgive a couple of wrong prints in the fox fig and the grey visor as well as the doors but lego ignoring the most iconic part of the ship to include a couple of dumb shooter for kids IN A 140$ SET, is absolutely outrageous. I really hope this flops

Unpopular opinion: I think that dark grey visor and kama are actually accurate for Fox. When you compare it's colors with black overall under his armor, it's supposed to be lighter color.

Holly crap with the bubble turrets changed it looks so much better I know it has other problems but when I get it I’ll display it with the doors shut so I don’t see that as as much of a problem since objective when the doors are open they look worse then if there were two but when they’re closed there’s no gap in between

As someone who never plans on selling my minifigs, I’m considering taping off the sections on Fox’s Torso that are ok, around the portion that’s white but shouldn’t be, and taking a very tiny amount of acetone on toothpicks and rubbing the white off inside the print lines to expose the red underneath. If I ruin it, oh well, then I’ll shell out to buy a pad printed torso

I would disagree about the Padme figure. In all her other variants have used something better resembling her face, like with the dimple for example. In this case they clearly just took an existing face and slapped it on their. I actually am less annoyed with fox than I am Padme.

@shadow-squid4872 9 ай бұрын

At least the Jyn Erso head still fits Padmé pretty well, and if you have the old 2013 head you can easily swap it around. But Fox is unfixable unless you order custom prints or modify the print yourself, they messed up both his torso and his kneepads

The Padmé in this set reuses the Jyn Erso face instead of bringing back the fantastic Padmé face from the 2013 gunship, so I would swap the head out with the older one as it’s actually meant to be Padmé. Fox also has inaccurate knee pads, as his kneepads are supposed to be red but on the minifigure they’re white. Yet another inaccuracy with his figure :(
