Here you see a low-tech special effect. Smokescreen’s smoke is a bit of pulled cotton.

LEGO is a toy that has spread around the world, to just about every country on the globe, and yet there are so few non-white (well, non-yellow) characters. Lando Calrissian donated his head along with Harry Potter’s hair for Smokescreen. I’m honestly surprised that with all the new colors of bricks LEGO is releasing, as well as new faces and hairstyles, that there isn’t more representation of other races besides Caucasian. Of course, what can you expect from the people who gave you Mentos? Well, that’s the Netherlands, but you get my drift.
