Almost all the new elements created specifically for the film were characters’ accessories, such as Wyldestyle’s hood, Unikitty’s tail, Lord Business’s overbearing hat, Metalbeard’s namesake metallic facial component and Vitruvius’s hair. All the villains’ minions were either existing figures with new prints or entirely brick-built. There was only one major exception, the Piece of Resistance, which figured prominently in the movie’s plot.

The unique pieces produced for The LEGO Movie were almost exclusively minifig parts and accessories.
