The LEGO Star Wars Buildable Characters theme, referred to as Constraction figures, consists of poseable action-figure-like models built using ball-joint and technic components, reminiscent of LEGO Bionicle or Hero Factory sets. Different from traditional brick-built LEGO Star Wars sets, this line showcases prominent characters from the Star Wars universe, like Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker, in a larger, more articulated format. These figures often come with interactive features such as spring-loaded shooters or lightsaber actions, offering both a distinct building experience and play functionality.
2017 LEGO Sets
In 2017, LEGO further expanded its cinematic universe with the releases of The LEGO Batman Movie and The LEGO Ninjago Movie, both of which introduced new sets and themes that quickly became investment-worthy collectibles. The LEGO Batman Movie, distributed by Warner Bros., hit theaters early in the year and was accompanied by a dedicated theme, featuring highly detailed Gotham City sets and a special LEGO Batman Movie Minifigures Series, adding to the growing collector appeal of LEGO minifigures.
