About This Set
Calamity Drone (71004) is a robot dressed for the Old West - and armed for it. From The LEGO Movie Series of Collectable Minifigures, released in January 2014, she is one of Lord Business's robo-henchmen in the film's Old West realm, part of the Super Secret Police hunting Master Builders. Her name is a pun on the frontierswoman Calamity Jane, and her look is a saloon dress: a red western-style outfit printed across the torso, with a slope piece forming the skirt.
The robotic details sit under the costume. Her head is cast in silver with makeup printed over the metal, her arms and hands are robot grey, and silver printing runs into the top of the torso where the dress meets the machinery. On top sits a two-part hat and hair combination - a fascinator-style hat piece attached to a detailed hairpiece - which was new and exclusive to this figure. Her accessory is a brown musket, and the back of the torso carries its own printing to complete the dress.
The LEGO Movie Series drew all sixteen of its figures from the film, and Calamity Drone was one of three robots in the wave, alongside Velma Staplebot and Wiley Fusebot. She was packed two to a display case, and the series holds a small place in the line's history as the last Collectable Minifigures wave sold at $2.99 before the price of a pack rose for later series.
