Maybe giving their clothes the slightest bit of blue colouring could fix the problem of the top half looking to much like the original. a little bit like the moaning myrtle but keeping their flesh toned skin and hair as to not mistake it for full transparency but keeping those transparent legs and I think it would look much more like a force ghost

I think the most simple solution would actually be transparent blue minifigures but give them full printing, Lego has an ongoing issue with printing pale colours at full opacity and I think in this case it would actually work in favour of creating that ghostly glow. Literally print the flesh tone on the faces and the light tan onto the torso, the opacity should be strong enough to hide the webbing but not opaque enough to fully hide the transparency of the piece, which I think would really effectively convey that ethereal essence the ghosts should have. edit: Really should've just kept watching the video

@bricktaco67 3 ай бұрын

Love this. I think a way to bring the look together even more would be with a transparent cape (if the character wears a cape ofc) like they also did with the vision figure you brought up. It would bring some of that transparent blue to the upper part of the minifigure without being too overpowering

@CaelBrad 3 ай бұрын

could make the base of all the parts of the figure that trans blue and then put the colored print you have over those parts, the print would cover the connections and you'd see the trans blue on the sides of the torso, the hands, any non printed part of the arms and the head etc. which would give the fig that blue outline effect without it looking like a hologram due to the print covering most of it

I think the see-through blue legs is a great start, maybe adding a similar tint to the printing would help blend it more and get it closer to the ideal. You could also make the hands and half the arms have the same clear effect so it isn't as clear-cut start and stop as this is.

I think the translucent legs are neat, but the issue I have is the normal color of the rest of the minifig. If possible, I think they should use opalescence colors, which are semi transparent and also have a pearly blue shine. They would have to do new colors for skin tones, but brown just so happens to already exist. When I look at the transparent blue, they just look like holograms, or hitch hiking ghost.

1:15 sort of Ninjago has paleman in the serie, but it's a minifigure from the Ultra Agents theme. But, being that by the time it was released he got his way in Ninjago, this summer in the tournament temple city we'll have an updated paleman's minifigure. Other than that, chima did have a lot of trasparent body pieces (arms and legs) for the ice animals, and so did Jack 14. The dissennator (i don't know his real english name sorry) from harry potter has a trasparent head. Cole's arms (from the day of the deeparted) are transparent with a lava printing on them. Retourning to ninjago, cause I forgot a whole season, the ghosts are mostly transparent. Only counting the one with legs, cause the smoke piece is getting common and reused in many different ways, they still didn't have a transparent body, but only half of the legs and the head.

I really like the cool idea that you have with the transparent legs. However, changing the overall figures colors to more of a blue tint much like that Moaning Myrtle figure and combining that with the transparent legs would be a perfect combination for a force ghost. I doubt that's something Lego would do but it would be the best option to represent them in my opinion. Great video tho keep up the good work!

@ARDIZsq 3 ай бұрын

I think that in the most idea scenario, working with what we can, LEGO would do partial transparent light blue pieces on the legs and I think even the hands, and then have a mix of regular printing and bluish printing like the HP CMF. Mixing the two would give you I feel the best mix of all three approaches. Hell, if they wanted to, they could even potentially do dual molded arms with the lower half being transparent light blue for just that extra bit of ghostliness. Super tempted to give something like this a shot. I've been LOVING making custom digital minifigs recently, so it could be a fun little side project!

@wolfeyyy4226 2 ай бұрын

what I think they could do is put some sort of radioactive substance in the plastic molding with some sort of dye, for example, a blue dye with plutonium mixed with plastic could give it that nice blue force ghost glow while also not being transparent and then they could work on the hues for the plastic, maybe a bluish grey tint as well to the normal colors

The transparent blue should be a new color, dark blue. It could fade from the blended printing of blue and normal color to transparent dark blue on the arms and legs, then the hands JUST transparent dark blue, without a fade. This'll differentiate between the lightsaber blue and Force Ghost blue. I think that'll be perfect.

@russeldarunday1847 3 ай бұрын

My though on this idea is we still go with the translucent blue , but the printing won't be just the outline of the figure, but rather dotted printing, instead of printing a huge shape with color, we allow some small spaces for the blue to push through, or maybe even faded printing. Print the details into fade but not to the point it's color is indistinguishable.

Idk how this would be done, but Imo the best way to make a Force Ghost would be to mold/print the minifig in the appropriate colors for the character, but with a slight bluish tint & have the leg printing transition to clear blue like Vision. Not a full bluescale minifig like Moaning Myrtle, but a slight bluish tint (slight bluish brown for example). That'll be perfect, but Idk how Lego would go abt this. Also, speaking of Vision, Imo Vision ($500 Avengers Tower) is _SO_ close to being accurate. He should've been molded in sand green & his head printing printed on a silver/gunmetal head instead of blue-green. Then he would be the most accurate Vision minifig to ever exist.
