After Sora and Baymax fought and defeated Dark Baymax, Hiro destroyed the fighting chip that is the robot's heart, and he replaced it to restore the original Baymax to his proper nature, giving team of the Kingdom Hearts universe two Baymaxes. I saw 101 Dalmatians as a kid when it was re-released in theaters… I’m not old enough to have seen the original run from the 1960s. In fact, I probably saw one of the re-re-re-releases. But, I digress… This movie was not one of my favorites. With that said, Cruella has appeared in several films and series, making her an iconic Disney villain. Why a fashion designer would want to make fur coats out of puppy fur? Who knows. I certainly don’t know anyone who would want to buy one. This Minifigure is nicely detailed with an amazing double-sided face. The puppy element is also new, so hopefully we see more of those in other themes and collections. However, she does have those weird shoe prints that don’t really cover the tops or corners of her feet. Miguel Baymax was created by the brilliant Tadashi Hamada during his time studying at the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology, as a healthcare providing nurse to improve healthcare around the world. The idea for Baymax first started with Tadashi's own desire to help everyone in need and taking inspiration from Trevor Trengrove's thesis on artificial intelligence [note 1]. Moving on to the Modern Princess era, we have Tiana from Princess and the Frog. Tiana has made multiple appearances as a minidoll in the LEGO Disney Princess theme, but this is the first time we’ve got her as a LEGO minifigure, adding to the growing Disney Princess minifig collection.

The Dr Facilier minifigure accurately captures the smooth-talking voodoo witch Doctor, with satisfyingly sly and evil face, and a top hat with a red brim and skull and crossbones design on it. The colours and Baymax’s head make it obvious that it is Baymax, but the silhouette just doesn’t translate especially well to the LEGO minifigure form, which is a shame as Baymax has been one of Disney’s better new characters from the 2000s era. Switching over to modern Disney, we finally get Big Hero 6, the anime-inspired film from 2014, with the adorable Baymax making an appearance for the first time.

Prince John

How to find one: Pocahontas’ large hairpiece has a very distinct shape, with the windswept part feeling flat, with ridges on one side. You can also feel for the three leaves which litter the bag. The Evil Queen is notoriously vain and possesses a Magic Mirror, which fatefully reveals that Snow White's beauty has surpassed her own. An oval shield represents the mirror, featuring a lime green and purple visage in the centre, surrounded by magical flames. Both this image and the purple pattern adorning the frame look outstanding, when compared with the movie.

Sense of heroism: Hiro created a new chip for Baymax similar to his fighting chip, but this one no longer risks him turning violent and allows him to defend innocents and other heroic deeds. How to find one: Oswald’s head is quite bulbous and round, and both his ears should feel relatively flat. Originally in Marvel Comics, Baymax was a synthformer robot powered by water, built by Hiro himself as a school project. Before Baymax's completion, however, Hiro's father Tomeo died, so the boy programmed Baymax's A.I. with his father's thoughts and emotions to keep his memory alive. Therefore, Baymax became Hiro's closest friend and protector. The moment when Tadashi introduced Baymax to his friends and Aunt Cass is unknown, as it is never shown on-screen. There is however a picture from Hiro's phone shown in " Steamer's Revenge" where Tadashi, Hiro, Baymax and the rest of the group are all together, hinting that Tadashi may have introduced Baymax to them during the time Hiro was working on his Microbots. It is also possible that they knew Tadashi was building Baymax and met him before Hiro did. How to find one: Try feeling for Prince John’s bag, which is quite lumpy and has a flat bottom with a recess. His crown and head is also easy to feel for as the crown has easy-to-feel for square notches.Baymax is an inflatable healthcare robot, designed by Tadashi Hamada as part of his robotics research, and is a member of the superhero team Big Hero 6. How to find one: The Queen of Hearts is really easy to feel for thanks to her massive skirt piece. You won’t miss it as it’s the chunkiest element in this entire series.

While it’s not the most detailed minifigure, I appreciate the historical significance of Oswald to Disney’s history, so it makes for a really cool character to include in this series, as it would be very hard to find a home for otherwise.

Gifts & Accessories

The minifigure is really well designed, and I especially like her pale green tiara, and the intricate details of her dress. Baymax 71038-17 seems disproportioned to me, it should have medium size legs and a more bulky body (perhaps with a kind of rounded armor piece over the torso).

Early on, Hall and a small team of filmmakers took a field trip to the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. The design for Baymax was inspired by an inflatable arm robot which scientist Christopher Atkeson showed to Don Hall. Baymax's facial design was inspired by the suzu bell, which are found in Japanese Shinto temples. For his exo-skeleton, visual development artist Kevin Nelson comments that they looked at Incan mummies and made his vertebrae, arms and lower legs deflatable so they would disappear when he was shrunk down, while all his other bones have ways of bending to fit his whole body into the traveling case. For his armor, the producers met with J Mays, the Global Design Chief for Ford at the time, who inspired them to simplify the armor with simpler shapes and cleaner lines influenced by auto design.

About Big Hero 6

In the movie, Baymax is a healthcare robot created by a young inventor named Hiro Hamada. After his brother’s death, Hiro reprograms Baymax to become a superhero to help him and his friends save their city from a dangerous villain. Robin Hood was one of my favorite Disney movies when I was a kid. So, it’s fun to have this character in Minifigure form. While the sac and coin accessories certainly make sense as inclusions in the blind bag, I do find myself wishing the character came with Sir Hiss instead. A slight modification to the Nagini/Python mold to accommodate a hat would have worked. Slap on a little cloth cape and you would have a great Sir Hiss. Robin Hood
