Like Lola, the base of his head is also built off the Vidiyo characters, and the team that moulded and did the graphic design on Bugs Bunny’s head deserve a medal because they nailed every feature. I do wish they gave us a more interesting accessory than a carrot, but Bugs Bunny is always seen munching on carrots delivering his signature “What’s up doc?” line, so it does fit his character.

LEGO Looney Tunes Minifigures will be officially released on 26 April 2021, but depending on where you live, some stores have already started selling them.

Even the push-broom design of his upper helmet (meant to comically resemble a Centurion’s helmet) is moulded in the two close-but-different shades of yellow. If there’s one area for improvement (and we are looking hard), it would only be in the missed opportunity for a second expression of eyes to be printed on the other side of his head. Otherwise, for his legions of fans, LEGO Marvin the Martian is spot-on. This is probably one of the characters who translates into Minifigure form, less favourably. This is partly due to the scale compared to other characters. The use of classic short legs helps a little but the character’s original appearance is hard to achieve with a classic torso. It would have been much preferred to include Tweety as a creature element included with Sylvester. But should main characters be relegated to a mere accessory?

Used a few times more as a supporting role to Porky, as his popularity fell, Petunia fared even worse and dropped out of semi-regular use for long stretches. She continues to appear on merchandising and take on supporting roles in various Looney Tunes-related shows and features, but very much remains the most peripheral player in this LEGO line-up. Her minifigure perfectly resembles her (just as she resembles Porky – don’t think about it too hard) and comes complete with teapot and teacup. We can’t find the reference for why.As an adult though, I empathise with Wile E. Coyote, and even respect his perseverence and never-give-up attitude. Sylvester’s head printing is great, and I especially enjoyed just how well they captured his goofy expression here.

We’ve had plenty of LEGO Rabbit throughout the year, and Bugs as the most iconic and famous Bunny of all can now join the crew. The choice to do a Looney Tunes minifigures series is quite an interesting one by LEGO, as these characters aren’t the household names that they used to be, but with a new Space Jam movie and rebooted animated series, perhaps it’s time for Bugs Bunny and gang to reclaim the limelight. Dolan, Hannah (13 October 2020). LEGO Minifigure Handbook. Dorling Kindersley Limited. p.78. ISBN 978-0-241-45823-5. As the lead star of Looney Tunes, LEGO Bugs Bunny had to be done right so we could accept LEGO Looney Tunes as a credible Collectible Minifigures series. Thankfully, that’s very much the case, and just as thankfully, those ears should make him very easy to feel out in the blind bags… LEGO® components meet stringent industry standards to ensure they are consistent, compatible and connect and pull apart consistently every time – it’s been that way since 1958.

I must admit I do prefer the more traditional looking Minifigures, but they just wouldn’t be a great fit for this particular gang of characters. Most of the translate well into Minifigure form, although there are most certainly a couple of exceptions. Both Speedy and Tweety look a little odd in their Minifigure guise but as iconic characters, with connections to others in this series, it’s a given that they needed to be featured. For some reason, which I can’t entirely put my figure on, I’m not a fan of the Lola Bunny Minifigure. But with Space Jam 2 on the way I can understand the inclusion. Despite that, the rest of the gang are great, Daffy, Bugs and Road Runner are definitely my favourites. The Looney Tunes series will not be everyone’s cup of tea, but they are certainly a unique bunch of iconic characters. Something which will most certainly translate far beyond the LEGO community although I assume Warner’s animated characters probably don’t garner the same obsessive collecting as Disney’s do. Porky Pig I get, mostly because I especially have fond memories of his character in Space Jam, and I think the minifigure is designed pretty well, save for some colour inaccuracies.

As we’ve seen with the likes of Winnie the Pooh, LEGO have also upped the ante with their moulding capabilities, and I was thoroughly impressed by just how well they managed to design the heads of each Looney Tunes character. How to find one: Feel for Bugs ears, which are long, and sharp, and confirm with the carrot which feels like a short thin club.
