"Lego bricks just aren't great at recreating characters with soft flesh, hair, and skin. If you need proof, check out the new Yoda bust."
"Everything below the neckline looks totally fine! And I like that lightsaber build. But it is impossible to look at this brick-built Yoda statue and not immediately focus on its ugly face and its teeny-tiny eyeballs."
"Creating a decent-looking Yoda out of Lego pieces isn't impossible, but to do so at this scale with a $40 price tag limiting how many pieces you can use is a tall order."
Lego introduced new Star Wars character busts of Yoda and Darth Vader, priced at $40 and $50. The Yoda bust has been criticized for its poor facial design, particularly the small eyes and awkward mouth. The design challenges stem from recreating organic features with Lego bricks, which are better suited for non-organic shapes. Despite the difficulties faced by the designer, the overall execution of Yoda's face has been deemed unsatisfactory, overshadowing the build's other elements like the lightsaber.
