If there’s one fandom whose members rival Lego fans for excitement and in-depth knowledge, it’s Disney fans. The monumental rush of pure nostalgia and child-like glee when the two are combined can hardly be overstated. Of course, Lego has long produced a few sets here and there licensing the core Disney products (as opposed to Disney-owned franchises like Marvel or Star Wars, which rule the Lego lineup each year). Traditionally, these Disney sets have generally targeted some of the youngest sectors of Lego audience. However, in 2016 Lego produced a special wave of the Collectible Minifigures theme focusing on beloved Disney characters. Now three years later, Lego is returning for another go, with 71024 Collectible Minifigures Disney Series 2 with a target release date of May 1. Now let’s jump back to that 1997 classic, Hercules. Up first is Hades, guardian of the underworld. Outfitted with a ghostly black toga that dissolves into smoke at the fringes, here portrayed with a new lower torso element. It’s reminiscent of Ursula’s tentacles from the first Disney series, but is a new element. The base covers a footprint of 4×3 studs, and has anti-stud holes so it can sit on a normal plate. The front is printed with the web-like lines of the toga’s folds, which continue onto the black printing on the dark grey torso. Hades’ arms are dual-molded with dark grey uppers and bright light blue lowers to match Hades’ pallid skin. Hades’ head has blue flames for hair, which is permanently glued on. The flame hair was first used for Ghost Rider, and it’s always been glued down, to the frustration of fans. This is especially unfortunate here, because Hades’ highly expressive face is limited to just a single smirking grin. Hades’ only accessories are two standard Lego flames. Lego Hades is a Disney Series 2 minifigure that contains 5 pieces and was released as part of the collectable series in 2019. The Lego set number for Hades is 71024-13.
