I had no knowledge of Dune prior to the reveal of this set.... within a week of the reveal I had seen the movie 3 times and read several of the books. Lego: giving me new hyperfixations since 2007
lol! LEGO do be like that 😂 That's honestly pretty cool though. I love the feel of the world Dune has created, and I sure got sucked in after watching that movie too!
@@Abbyga1e As soon as I watched Dune I knew I'd found a new hyperfixation, I lost many a time to lore videos, reading the books and lego designing afterwards :D
Fun Frog Fact: The hairy frog has "claws" that pierce the skin. These claws are actually made of bone and are mended to the toe bone. When the frog needs them, it purposefully breaks it's bones so that the claws pierce through the skin. This is why it's also called the Wolverine Frog. Snikt! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hairy_frog
I would absolutely love more 18+ one off sets like this that are good display models with a couple of cool movement/action features for loads of different brands/IPs They could make them for IPs that would otherwise normally be inappropriate for kids because the entire range is targeted at 18+
Doubt we'll ever get an official set from it considering both Blade Runner films are R rated. Hopefully they can at least give us stuff to make our own minifigures like they did with the Kill Bill jumpsuit someday.
I wish lego were up for more book adaptations, as I think using Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep as the basis instead of Blade Runner could be a way to get around the fact that both films are R Rated
There have actually been smaller beard molds than the newer style santa beard, the ones that come to mind are the moustache (part number 15439) and the prospector beard (15501), although getting an entirely new niche beard mold would be wishful thinking
The only other Dune set I really feel like would be especially great to have is Paul’s fight with Feyd-Rautha, so that we can get a stillsuit Paul with blue eyes.
I would not be shocked if we got Shai Hulud and the rest of the major cast: Blue Eye Stillsuit Paul, Feyd Rautha, Alia (if they don’t cut her), Stilgar, Thufir, and maybe Rabban. Potentially Emperor Shaddam and Princess Irulan.
This set is as exciting as Rivendell but with a manageable price tag. As a fan of the book and movie the minifigures are near perfection. If this set is enough of a hit maybe we would get a Feyd Ratha and bro or some of those Sardakar or Harkonnen troops - but that is wishful thinking.
This set was such a delightful surprise. I have been anticipating it for quite a while now and I think it does deliver but doesn’t quite meet all my expectations and as great as those figs are it still seems quite overpriced for me. So as much as I may not be picking it up at full retail price I’ll definitely have my eye out for a discount. Great vid and great job showcasing this excellent figures
I do wish it was more polished, but I'm all for a set that focuses on playability over aesthetics. Hopefully you'll be able to find it discounted somewhere after the Dune Part 2 hype has died down
you could also swap duncans and letos torsos. Leto would then be from the yueh betrayal scene and you would have an awesome duncan minifig for a final sacrifice moc
@@CheeseyStudios Cant wait to get this set. I am massive fan of the 6 books so this was right on my alley even if I am more Bionicle fan than fan of other lego systems. Wife promised to get this set for me on my 30th birthday on March.
cant wait for my birthday, gonna get this for myself then since it comes out very short before. very excited to build it and try out all the mechanics, and i love the wide spectre of figures
@@CheeseyStudios you were right, playing around with the wings and landing gear is a great time! definitely one of my favourite sets mechanically, and it is impresively compact fully folded in.
I didn’t even know this was a planned set. Love the look though and I do find it very funny having never seen or read Dune that 99.99% of what I know now is from this channel 😂
I bought the first three books in a beautiful fake-leather binding with gold-color print, only to stop halfway book 1. The way of phrasing just feels very old and crunchy. Maybe I should give the movies a try. And this set looks amazing too, but is probably just a teeny tiny bit out of my budget. Looked it up: at €165 it's cheaper than I expected.
The new movie adaptation is definitely a dumbed-down version of the books (I've never read the books, but that's what I've heard) and makes the story much more understandable and engaging. Well worth the watch! I think once you watch the movie, it'll have you more interested in picking up those beautiful books again.
The minifigures look incredible, though I think that the ornithopter, could have been just a little better, even though I'm not opposed to studs I think that the ornithopter needs to be tiled out a lot more and needs some more greebling on the side
I was surprised with how rough it is, but that being said, I'd rather have a playable, functional set. The detailing is the easy part! Creating flapping, foldable wings? Not so much 😂
One reason why I got the LEGO ICONS DUNE model is of course because I saw the 2021 adaptation of Dune. I also think the implementation of what the LEGO designer has delivered is great. Yes, the #legoiconsduneatreidesroyalornithopter is really a great model, it's really fun to build. Even if it's a hidden LEGO Technic model! In my opinion, it’s already the best LEGO model of 2024! I'm curious to see what part 2 of Dune will be like? The first one was already good!
@@CheeseyStudios In any case, the trailer for it looks good! Until then, I'm enjoying the LEGO® model of the Icon Dune Atreides Royal Ornithopter Have you seen my video about it? I'm curious to hear what you say about it. You probably have to activate the subtitles!
I think the minifigures in this set are really interesting. While id prefer several of the characters in different outfits, they give you enough so that you can mix & match as you prefer. If this is the only Dune set we get (as it likely is), I do really wish we wouldve gotten a Sarduakar warrior instead of Liet-Kynes who feels kind of out of place imo (although Legos motivations are easy enough to guess). There is a slight possibility to get another set in the future. The success of the first film & the timing and release of the next film created an excuse for this set to release. If this set & the second film are financially successful we will get the same circumstances again with the release of Dune: Messiah. Fingers crossed.
I hope you are still working on your LEGO Minecraft World because I really want to see you build an ocean monument block accurately. It would be my life goal to see you try it because you are my favorite CZcamsr of all time and Lego Minecraft is my favorite Lego theme.
It's gonna be $165 in the US, but you can check here if you live somewhere else: www.lego.com/product/dune-atreides-royal-ornithopter-10327 I think you'll enjoy the build regardless (the functions are so cool) of whether or not you've seen the movie, but having watched Dune made it extra special!
I still hope that someday we will get a set from an R rated movie somehow. Just imagine different variants of Xenomorphs from the alien franchise, a Prometheus expedition ship or the Engineer Juggernout
I want to get into dune- however i feel like the story was quite complicated for me. Maybe im just dumb or something- keep in mind this was just me from experiencing the movie, I have never read the books so that might be the reason. Im not the biggest reader, but i might have to give them a shot.
It is a lot. I definitely had to watch the movie a second time for things to start making sense. I watched a really good lore video too just before making this video which helped me appreciate it all even more!
Giving Paul a royal suit he rarely wears and Leto a stillsuit instead of armor is an odd choice. Paul looks more like Kyle MacLachlan. I’d probably switch torsos.
@@CheeseyStudios My bad it's 26139. On bricklink. Dark brown would be better for chalamet than black it's the han solo hairpiece. The middle part looks like Chalamet's style.
I mean, he's only 15 Plus, in the book the bene gesserit mother says that he is quite underdeveloped for his age, I know it's based off the movie but still
I think it's just been a lot of non-Technic builders building it so far, ha! It has its moments, but it's really not that bad being only half-Technic. It's important to point out that the instructions were very clear, and that helps the build a lot.
LOL bro that's too funny you said that, because I totally listened to the first three seconds of him in that "Breaking Down a Scene" video and I still feel I totally screwed it up 🤣
Those colored pins are so ugly and unnecessary, for 160+ bucks it's like basically LEGO taunting buyers. Really hoping someone will finally show how it looks with the correct colors.
Maybe I need to rewatch Dune, but I didn’t quite understand what made it so special. That being said I think this set is very beautiful and would be a good display piece.
I will say I just rewatched it again prior to scripting this video, and it really is pretty awesome. Seeing it in theaters was incredible. I still prefer Blade Runner 2049, but Dune is an equal visual treat! I didn't know anything about the books or movie before seeing the new one, but that world really sparked my imagination. idk, I'm definitely rambling, but I guess I'm trying to say you should give it another go!
Maybe there's a couple things I can point out if you don't already know them. For one thing, anything you think Dune reminds you of, exists because Dune inspired that thing. Dune came before all it's derivatives. And I will strongly argue that neither Star Wars nor Game of Thrones nor Tremors nor Avatar etc etc come close to the depth of the philosophy of Dune. Ok ASOIAF is able to compete and outrank Dune in some ways but still, everything that Dune inspired ALWAYS only take the surface layer and never tackles what the full series actually explores. The book's mysteries and conundrums are more interesting than the surface. And secondly the difference between a full 1.43:1 IMAX screening and literally anything else is like the two different movies. That is how the image is framed and edited to be seen. It's an overwhelming canvas you have to tilt your head to look around. Tho a good DOLBY theatre sound system is similarly good for levelling up the sound too.
Im incredibly disappointed in the Dune set. I would have loved a Dune Lego set, but it's unnecessarily huge, overdesgned and most importantly: ugly. Most of these problems would have been solved by having it be the size of a regular lego helicopter to star wars spaceship. Speaking of the minifigs, Im disappointed they didn't use the headphone hairpiece from Poe Dameron for the Duke. The Gurney fig doesn't bare a lot of resemblance to the actor. And I certainly wish to get at least one more stillsuit, so youll be able to pose the whole squad. But Paul is missing a double sided face with the little nose tube for that.
The nice thing about this set is that it would be really easy to modify to make it look a bit nicer! The hard part has been done - the incredible functions.
The Paul Minifigure looks more like the version from 1984, and I like it.
I wonder if that was almost intentional 🤔
OMG, you're right!
Honestly, the Paul in this set kinda looks more like Kyle MacLachlan than Timothee! Maybe the designer likes the 1984 Dune film too! :D
A few others had mentioned that too now, and I agree! Definitely not the worst coincidence haha
I adore the set but it’s never quite clicked how enormous it is
Despite that, I was surprised by how light it is! It's quite maneuverable and very stable. The wingspan is insane o_o

They could make them for IPs that would otherwise normally be inappropriate for kids because the entire range is targeted at 18+
Agreed! This is what large sets should look like. I'm kind of tired of static display pieces
Aunt Petunia's hairpiece (in the same color, dark brown) is such a better fit for Paul, I have no idea why they went with the black Anakin hair.
That's a good call! Yeah, this hairpiece was a strange choice
That’d have been perfect… how did they missed it?!
just googled it, it feels so wrong and right at the same time
This is making me want Lego to make a spinner from Blade Runner. Great analysis of the minifigures! Hope to pick this set up myself
I'd love a Blade Runner set. Both films are spectacular!
I love them both yeah! I've got a moc for a BR2049 spinner, but an official set would be amazing! :)
Doubt we'll ever get an official set from it considering both Blade Runner films are R rated. Hopefully they can at least give us stuff to make our own minifigures like they did with the Kill Bill jumpsuit someday.
I wish lego were up for more book adaptations, as I think using Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep as the basis instead of Blade Runner could be a way to get around the fact that both films are R Rated
Umbridges hair piece in black would be perfect in black for him. Or the lego piece 6194414 in black could work pretty well too.
Those are both good options, yeah!
There have actually been smaller beard molds than the newer style santa beard, the ones that come to mind are the moustache (part number 15439) and the prospector beard (15501), although getting an entirely new niche beard mold would be wishful thinking
A new mould would have been epic though. They definitely would have been able to repurpose it in the future too. Oh well...

I had no idea the Dune set came with Willy Wonka AND Paul!
TRULY the set of all time
Aquaman and Tnanos were a nice touch. Oh and moon knight

Blue Eye Stillsuit Paul, Feyd Rautha, Alia (if they don’t cut her), Stilgar, Thufir, and maybe Rabban. Potentially Emperor Shaddam and Princess Irulan.

The Paul Atreides minifigure reminds me more about Kyle MacLachlan from Lynch Dune than Timothee.

Notta. He's got plain black torso and legs. I was hoping! But it makes sense that he doesn't. Glad the budget went to enhancing other figures.

In your April Fools episode, I dare you to put this on your Minecraft Moc, specifically the desert biome.
lol! 🤣 that would be great
Those long long long wing blades would make for excellent Exo Force swords
That would be so cool! You'd need quite the massive mech to wield one, but it would look awesome!
I think Lego part 3277 would have worked great for Paul. I'll be changing it to that when I get the set.
I think that looks a lot better, yeah
Now i want to see a Sandworm Moc of DUNE Lego

Too true 🤣
That gold hood would make a super good Ancient one custom
I bet that'll be quite a desirable piece! Probably won't show up in gold too often
I've never seen the movie but hearing you talk about it so enthusiastically is making me want to watch it!!!
You've gotta check it out! It's on Netflix right now, too
Those suit pieces would make great fallout power armor rigs
I'm very curious to see how people reuse these elements! There's so many great prints here

Will you do a series dedicated to Lego Atlantis?
Definitely! Already have all the first and third wave sets - just need some from wave two!

The Han Solo hairpiece in black would work really well in my opinion for that first character
Yeah! I can see that one working well. It's definitely got the volume
Entertaining video! What is the song that is playing at 1:58? It sounds familiar, but I can't place it.
Pretty sure it's called "Desert Caravan" - I've used it in a few videos before, but not sure if that's where you're recognizing it from xD

I’ve never had a certain love for dune but these figures are awesome
I love it when LEGO pulls out all the stops to do stuff like this. There's a lot of strong contenders for my top 10 figures of 2024 already, ha!
On my own recreation of Paul I used aunt petunias newer hair piece, I think it works better than the anakin hair
Oh yeah! That would look quite nice I bet
I don’t know Dune too well, but this set looks rad as heck!
It is so fun! Love when they make playable 18+ sets like these
how much will this set cost? and will the experience be just as great even if i bought this set with out watching the movie before?

I think the Paul Atredies minifig looks more like Kyle McLaughlin, who played Paul in the David Lynch' "Dune" film!
Yeah! I can definitely see that. I've gotta watch that movie at some point.
Josh Brolin, the character who doesnt smile once in the film, is the only minifig with a smile on BOTH sides of his head. what were they thinking??
I was wondering about that a bit. 🤣
I had no idea of dune sets.
It really did come out of nowhere! I'd love to see more, but it feels quite unlikely
Minifigures + Dune + Lego = Greatness
very epic math
I still hope that someday we will get a set from an R rated movie somehow. Just imagine different variants of Xenomorphs from the alien franchise, a Prometheus expedition ship or the Engineer Juggernout

I don't think Chani's hairpiece does justice to Zendaya's wavy hair.

Now I can use the Oscar Isaac head to make a custom drake figure
Ayyy nice
I think the black middle part toussled hair from the BTS set would’ve worked better for Paul Atreides

Giving Paul a royal suit he rarely wears and Leto a stillsuit instead of armor is an odd choice. Paul looks more like Kyle MacLachlan. I’d probably switch torsos.
That's the beauty of it! Lots of interchangeable torsos here.

Jerry seinfeld’s hair may either look terrible with Paul or work well, I feel like it would somewhat work?
That's an interesting idea for sure! I think it might just be too short on the sides 🤔
umbridges' hair in black would have been perfect for timothee...
That would have been great, yeah

It's a very fun set. I highly recommend!
You should do a video or a short comparing Oscar Isaac’s minifigs, Leto Altreides and Moon Knight

Is zendayas character a different color for the head than the othere?
It's the medium brown color released recently!
I think Lloyd's hair piece works better for Paul imo
That's a good call! I see they've produced it in black already several times too
That’s the life they used in this set
I thought this video was members only?
Members just get early access to everything! It's public now :)
@@CheeseyStudios OHH, I misunderstood the concept
1:37 honestly this doesn’t look great to me. Double sided face is appreciated but in this case they really should have opted for two separate heads
Fair enough! It always is a bit weird when you can see the print from the back
Paul's figure is weird, because he looks like the 80s version, down to the hair.
Quite a few people have said that. I'm almost starting to think the designers made that choice intentionally now xD
Love the detail
They did a really great job with these.
Gotta love it when LEGO stacks a set with incredible minifigs. Gonna be a Day 1 purchase for me.
It's kinda like Rivendell - the designers knew this was their one chance so they went and gave us everyone they could! I love it!
Was it really as complicated of a build as other people are saying it was?
I think it's just been a lot of non-Technic builders building it so far, ha! It has its moments, but it's really not that bad being only half-Technic. It's important to point out that the instructions were very clear, and that helps the build a lot.

I've gotta check out the David Lynch movie at some point. Looks WILD
The new Dune movie is carried by visuals and the old lore. Still a good movie but will be ruined if the second chapter turns out to be bad/worse.
How many times did you have to listen to a video with Villeneuve being spoken aloud? I still don't know how to say it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
LOL bro that's too funny you said that, because I totally listened to the first three seconds of him in that "Breaking Down a Scene" video and I still feel I totally screwed it up 🤣
@@CheeseyStudios HAHAHA
Still a fan of the orginal Dune.. but the remake was really good. Great looking ship
I really do need to watch the original at some point.
2:35 SPOILER !!!
Gurney halleck is my favorite minifigure
He looks sooooo good! The armor is just epic
Those colored pins are so ugly and unnecessary, for 160+ bucks it's like basically LEGO taunting buyers.
Really hoping someone will finally show how it looks with the correct colors.
I really don't know why they insist on doing that. I wish I had thought to swap the colors while building
Maybe I need to rewatch Dune, but I didn’t quite understand what made it so special. That being said I think this set is very beautiful and would be a good display piece.
I will say I just rewatched it again prior to scripting this video, and it really is pretty awesome. Seeing it in theaters was incredible. I still prefer Blade Runner 2049, but Dune is an equal visual treat! I didn't know anything about the books or movie before seeing the new one, but that world really sparked my imagination. idk, I'm definitely rambling, but I guess I'm trying to say you should give it another go!
It's the cinematography, world-building, lore, and characters. It really is a masterpiece of a film and book series.
Maybe there's a couple things I can point out if you don't already know them.
For one thing, anything you think Dune reminds you of, exists because Dune inspired that thing. Dune came before all it's derivatives. And I will strongly argue that neither Star Wars nor Game of Thrones nor Tremors nor Avatar etc etc come close to the depth of the philosophy of Dune. Ok ASOIAF is able to compete and outrank Dune in some ways but still, everything that Dune inspired ALWAYS only take the surface layer and never tackles what the full series actually explores. The book's mysteries and conundrums are more interesting than the surface.
And secondly the difference between a full 1.43:1 IMAX screening and literally anything else is like the two different movies. That is how the image is framed and edited to be seen. It's an overwhelming canvas you have to tilt your head to look around. Tho a good DOLBY theatre sound system is similarly good for levelling up the sound too.
I can see thise bodies being really useful for Star Wars Figbarfs, but they are definitely going to cost a pretty penny.
So true! Very curious to see what the aftermarket prices are gonna be too. scary stuff ._.
My garl friend hate dune…………
RIP D,:
the movie was awful but the set looks pretty epic!
Book fan I take it? 🤣
Im incredibly disappointed in the Dune set. I would have loved a Dune Lego set, but it's unnecessarily huge, overdesgned and most importantly: ugly. Most of these problems would have been solved by having it be the size of a regular lego helicopter to star wars spaceship.
Speaking of the minifigs, Im disappointed they didn't use the headphone hairpiece from Poe Dameron for the Duke. The Gurney fig doesn't bare a lot of resemblance to the actor. And I certainly wish to get at least one more stillsuit, so youll be able to pose the whole squad. But Paul is missing a double sided face with the little nose tube for that.
The nice thing about this set is that it would be really easy to modify to make it look a bit nicer! The hard part has been done - the incredible functions.
@@CheeseyStudios I would get rid of the function entirely and rather have a X-Wing sized Ornithopter as a set. It ain't worth it.
