First, though, the fails. The Lego fails, that is. Here are some ones that at least one of us checked only to find out that a very obvious character has never been made into a minifigure.
1. Sallah:
Despite being in half of the Indiana Jones movies, Sallah was never made as a minifigure. John Rhys-Davies does appear as this minifig, though:
Rhys-Davies did do the voice for this one, so I guess he can get partial credit for it:
2. Jane Foster:
Despite having more than a dozen Avengers related Lego sets, Jane does not appear as a minifigure.
Natalie Portman does appear as this figure, though:
3. Galadriel:
Explain to me how, exactly, Galadriel
does not get made into a minifigure while
Irina Spalko gets a figure in three different sets (while Sallah has none!). If I was Cate Blanchett, I'd feel robbed.
Also, a retraction. As I was working up this post, I realized that I was in error about Chris Evans.
The Fantastic Four have not, yet, been made into physical minifigures, although I could have sworn they had some sort of Lego set out several years ago with their flying car. When the FF re-boots, soon, it will no longer be Evans as the Torch, so it still won't count for him. He got robbed, too!
But there are a few new editions to the list of actors made into two different minifigure characters!
1. Ryan Renolds
2. Ben Kingsley
(Again, really? Nizam from Prince of Persia gets a figure but Galadriel doesn't?)
3. Alfred Molina
Another Prince of Persia figure on the list? Seriously? And he gets one from Raiders of the Lost Ark, too!
Which brings me back to my question of how the heck does Sallah not have a figure? Satipo, here, dies in the opening sequence of Raiders, but Sallah doesn't get one? I smell a conspiracy! Or a rat! Or Denmark!
But that's not all! Because there's also
Which gives Molina three different characters in three separate movies which may just make him the greatest actor of all time! Except, then, there's
4. Warwick Davis. Davis has been four different characters in two different movie franchises, though two of the movies from one of the franchises were 15 years apart. Who's greater, Davis or Molina? I guess you will have to decide. Here are Davis' figures:
5. Gary Oldman! And, really, how could I forget him the first time? I feel so bad. I love Gary Oldman! And he was by far the best thing about the Nolan Batman movies.
And he's also
Well, there you have it. The best actors who have ever lived. Or something like that. If I ever get a movie made out of any of my books, I'm going to make sure I'm some side character, some vital side character, so that if they ever get Lego sets, I will get to be a minifigure, too! Now that's the DREAM, folks!
