Synthesized Verdict

"A BrickScore of 44.9 reflects a reviewer consensus that the Finn Constraction figure is the weak link in the Force Awakens wave, hindered by a robotic-looking design that suits the format poorly and a dull color scheme that disappoints on the shelf. Fans of the character who prioritize play over display will find more to enjoy than the critic scores suggest, but compared to Kylo Ren or Captain Phasma in the same line, this one is hard to recommend at full aftermarket price."

75116 Finn earns the lowest BrickScore in this batch at 44.9, placing it firmly in the Skip It tier, and the three expert reviewers agree that it is the weakest figure in the Force Awakens Constraction wave. The core problem is an identity mismatch: the CCBS format works best for armored or robotic characters, and Finn's human appearance in dark tan and grey translates awkwardly into segmented plastic. There is a notable split between critics and general owners: Amazon buyers gave it 4.4 out of 5 across 161 ratings, but expert reviewers awarded scores of 62, 55, and just 20 out of 100, pointing to display and design weaknesses that casual buyers appear to overlook.

Where they split: There is a meaningful split between critics and owners. Expert scores range from 20 to 62, with JANG calling it his least favorite Force Awakens figure and Jay's Brick Blog recommending a skip entirely, while Amazon buyers averaged 4.4 out of 5. Owners appear to respond positively to the Finn character and the head sculpt quality; critics are penalizing the overall design execution and display failings that may matter less during play.

LOVED (6)

01Head sculpt closely resembles actor John Boyega with realistic hair texturing
02Geared arm mechanism is smooth and less obtrusive than on the Rey figure
03Printed shoulder pad is a welcome detail
04Rare trans-medium blue pieces used for the blaster casing
05Dual-wielding capability with firing blaster rifle and metallic silver lightsaber hilt
06Head can be swapped onto First Order Stormtrooper body for a film-accurate scene

CRITICIZED (8)

01Overall figure looks robotic and unorganic, falling into an awkward middle ground between human and mechanized aesthetics
02Back of the figure is visually disjointed and unappealing
03Segmented jacket design with gaps does not read well from most angles
04Drab, monochrome color scheme looks dull on display
05Scaling issues from leg extenders cause the figure to be disproportionately tall relative to others in the line
06Grey thigh pieces and exposed knees look odd
07Neck articulation obstructed by a plastic strip running up the back
08Price of $24.99 not justified by the design result

What reviewers are saying

"Despite its shortcomings I must state that this is not a bad figure in my opinion and is certainly worthy of consideration, particularly at a reduced price and if you already own some of the others in the range."

Brickset Reviews

"When they do these figures with stylized human faces, the results are arguably creepy. However, given the style, the specific visual style that they came up with for this entire line, I feel like this one was done pretty…"

JANG's LEGO Reviews

"I'll be honest, I didn't enjoy Finn as much as I did Kylo Ren."

Ecosystem

75113 Rey — Finn lacks the exceptional quality of Rey. Rey is considered superior and more impressive for display due to her brighter color scheme and design. Comments suggest Rey is easily the best of the range.

75114 First Order Stormtrooper — Finn lacks the exceptional quality of the First Order Stormtrooper and is noted as weaker. The Stormtrooper's covered design works better than Finn's exposed human-like appearance.

75117 Kylo Ren — Finn lacks the exceptional quality of Kylo Ren. Kylo Ren's intimidating helmet and design are more impressive than Finn's drab attire.

75110 Luke Skywalker — While 75110 Luke Skywalker was the weakest of the first wave, Finn is the least favourite of the second wave. Finn's hair texturing is far superior to Luke's.

Minifigures & Standout Parts

Standout parts (per reviewers)

New shoulder and back piece with axle threading
A brand new piece which forms the back and shoulders of the figure while also allowing an axle to be threaded through. Thus far the element only exists in dark tan and black but will hopefully appear in other colours soon.
Technic panels
Used to represent the back of Finn's jacket and a pair are angled to give the impression of the garment wrapping around the body.
Metallic silver hilt lightsaber
Luke's lightsaber which features a metallic silver hilt
Dark Stone Grey feet
Those feet now exist in Dark Stone Grey (noted in comments section)
Printed shoulder pad
My favorite thing about this figure is actually the the printed shoulder pad. That's good. Good to get glad that they actually printed that all the way around one full half of the surface.
Trans-medium blue pieces (blaster casing)
And it's good to get the uh dark tan pieces in general. More good stuff with colors here with two reddish brown hands with the standard mold. Always good to get pairs of things unlike the shoulders here where one of them is printed and one is not. The casing, the main body of the the weapon, the blaster here is gunmetal gray. And that is trans medium blue, not trans light blue, not trans blue, but transmedium blue, which is a very uncommon color in general.

What Owners Say · summarized from 5 written reviews (LEGO, Amazon, Walmart)
