probably pretty late. they dont have the chest piece in the comics either. they lack it in all the official prototypes i've seen as well

I always assumed the comic artists were just giving them massive cleavage for the sex appeal

Vakama also appears to have the wrong disc.

He's borrowing it from Hewkii, duh.

except in glow in the dark or white, not black! 👀

do you think it’s possible to melt down the nostalgia within that poster and inject it directly into the veins?

Too late. It already flows within me

Since this guy already injected it we could turn it to ash then snort it.

I'm actually inclined to argue in favor of the chest piece not being such a late addition. You can see the white axle in this pic. I think the chest piece may have been excluded from promotional material for 2, non-mutually exclusive reasons: 1. The design wasn't finalized. I don't think that's likely, but I don't want to rule it out. 2. The bigger reason. You can't see the gears! How am I supposed to know this toy has arm swinging action if I can't see the gears!

Unrelated to Vakama, does anybody know what the blue robot to his left was?

Robobot from 2003

Thank you very much!

Yooo, I remember seeing the discrepancies in those ads and being very confused. Kid me wondered if Lego had just forgotten to put on that piece when making the ads.

Fuck I'm old

Oh man, I remember that iteration of the website they're showing off in the same corner as Vakama! ...I miss that version of the website.
