I'm leaving the movies, I went to see Wonder Woman. The film is good, Gal Gadot is excellent as a somewhat naive Amazon convinced that she can restore peace to the world by killing only one man / god.
And as soon as I got out, I went back to take a look at the set 76075 Wonder Woman Warrior Battle (37.99 €) which is in principle a derivative of the film. In principle. Most of the reviews I have read were published long before the film was released. Obviously, therefore, no one makes a link between the content of the set and that of the film.
I want to hear all the usual explanations about the work of LEGO very early in the release of the films from which these boxes are inspired, with only a few preliminary visuals provided by the production. We are repeated these excuses at each obvious failure, as if to find extenuating circumstances for the mark.
But in this specific case, the set has NOTHING to do with the film.
Let's move on to Chris Pine's (Steve Trevor) minifigure who does not closely or remotely resemble the actor, that we already knew. The face used has already dressed the minifigs of Chris Evans (Captain America) or Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye). For the outfit, it's minimal service, but we will be satisfied, even if the character spends a good part of the film in German uniform.
The plane seen in the film, with which Chris Pine crashes near Themyscira, is a Fokker E.III. German. The LEGO version only vaguely resembles this airplane model and as a bonus the machine is here decked out with American symbols ...
Regarding Ares, again the LEGO version is a thousand miles from the character of the film. The big bad in the movie is admittedly slightly taller than Gal Gadot with his horned armor but not in the proportions seen in set 76075. I'm not even talking about the character's armor or shield ...
As a bonus, the scene shown in the visual above, which dresses the box, NEVER takes place in the film. NEVER. And as for the mention "... use superpowers and the famous wonder woman sword to face the mythical gods ..."I'll let you see the movie, you'll understand that this part of the set description is a bit wrong.
We are left with the Wonder Woman minifigure with her sword and shield, successful and true to the look of the character in the film.
Some of these findings are details, others are more troublesome. In the end, it seems that LEGO got the wrong movie and all the justifications in the world will not be enough to make me accept this discrepancy between the original content and the derivative product.
This is not the first set affected by this type of "shift", far from it. But I'm still annoyed by these gross misinterpretations.
If LEGO cannot have content that is faithful to the final product to develop its derivative products, the manufacturer could at least modify the content of the boxes a few months after the release of the film to stick to reality.
There you go, I just wanted to heat it up after watching the movie.
- crazybattle : Lol the prices... We need to stop smoking at Lego. Frankly...

- Mathieu : The station is beautiful! It would go well with the modular style hotel...
- crazybattle : It's well done... A beautiful set, no doubt...
- zelk : Quite successful, a few euros less would have been appreciated...
- Bebrasta : Quite convincing I would say. We even have the right to tile...
- Bebrasta : I find the result rather satisfactory, at least on display...
- Thund3R : Better than the old one, but no Droidoka in my home at the price...
