Why this Difference?
It always bothered me how Lego can't keep a single Model for their characters in cartoons.
When I was Little, I saw Chima on the shelves and thought it was so weird that they looked different than the toy...
Not just that but it seems Lego has different models for everything they do.
The actual toys will be used as bases for Game Models. Stuff like the Cutscenes in Shadow of Ronin use the actual Lego pieces to animate the characters to the point U can dee "Lego" written on some pieces.
But the 3D model they'll use for Promotional material is different from the toy.
Even worse, it's a completely different model from what they use in the show!!
And yeah, you could say "Well, They have different models in the show because the toys in chima use the same head piece for every character from each tribe" But then you watch the show and They all look the same.
Could be about animating mouths tho, but even then, The characters who really DO need changes, Like Cragger and Eris...tend to look just like their toys with some extra changes.
I noticed this with Dreamzzz too. The characters have bigger Irises and it makes them look weird. Why not just make the characters exactly like the toy with no difference?
