Taco Tuesday Guy

The bloke had one job: stand near tacos and make the heroes look underdressed.

You don't grab Taco Tuesday Guy because he's the lead. You grab him because every serious display needs one background character who's committed harder than the main cast. The LEGO Movie gave us plenty of loud ideas, and this lad turns up themed around a taco stand fiesta like the catering budget got a speaking role.

He's ideal for breaking up all the destiny, capes and heroic grimacing. A tiny bit of fiesta nonsense, placed with absolute confidence. Very collector. Deeply unnecessary. Obviously correct.

Highlights

A background character from The LEGO Movie, which means he's exactly the sort of deep-cut oddball collectors pretend they weren't hunting.

Taco stand fiesta theming gives him a clear job on the shelf: make the serious characters look like they've turned up to the wrong party.

The name does not mess about. Taco Tuesday Guy is gloriously specific, and that beats another anonymous smiley crowd filler.
