The new Lego Yoda bust is equal parts cool and terrifying

Little guy's not handling Order 66 very well

Yoda from Star Wars with his eyes wide and his mouth open

Lego and Star Wars unveiled a new set, a bust of Lego Yoda, complete with a block lightsaber and built-in nightmares. The 399-piece set will be released on April 26 and costs $39.99, and while it has some nifty features, I just can't get over those eyes.

The Lego Yoda bust includes a buildable lightsaber (a smaller version of previous, standalone sabers) for him to hold, or not, if you decide he looks better in a more relaxed state, and you can adjust the set of his ears and head for a bit of customizable emotion. There's also a little, normal-looking Yoda figure to sit on the bust's base or wherever you decide might benefit from a tiny Jedi master. And a nameplate, in case you forget who he is. The build is approximately eight inches high and four inches wide, making this Yoda a bit easier to slot into an empty space in your house, and there's no Smart Play component.

There's nothing, however, to help you hide from those sunken, staring eyes. Lego calls the Yoda bust a recreation of the diminutive warrior from Attack of the Clones, but it's skewing a bit more Who Framed Roger Rabbit than Star Wars. There are also shades of Five Nights at Freddy's killer animatronics in that soulless stare, so customers be warned.

It's a bit of an odd design choice, too. Lego's larger 1.7k piece, non-bust Yoda set had normal eyes and even adjustable lids to change up how he felt on a given day. Lego's Spider-Man bust and the newly announced Darth Vader bust also look a lot more normal in comparison. Granted, one's wearing a mask and the other has a helmet. Maybe underneath, they've seen untold horrors they'll never recover from as well.
