But a trap had been laid for the gypsies
And they gazed up in fear and alarm
At a figure whose clutches were iron as much as
The bells―
The bells of Notre Dame

―Clopin, "The Bells of Notre Dame"

Judge Claude Frollo is the villain of Disney's version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame, loosely adapted from the Archdecon Frollo character in Victor Hugo's book Notre Dame de Paris.

Designer's notes

  • Frollo is endlessly quotable, but be careful who you are quoting him to.
  • I may be speaking from experience.
  • Frollo is if not the best Disney villain, he's possibly the most interesting and certainly has the most compelling villain song. If you don't know why, go and watch the movie. Don't even listen to his villain song first. If you want to know what you'd be getting into before committing a couple dollars and 90 minutes, here's the movie's opening number, "The Bells of Notre Dame". It's a pretty solid intro.
  • I would love to get him in a new Disney Series anyway, but just seeing something along the lines of "Destroy Esmeralda and let her taste the fires of hell!" or "You are deformed, and you are ugly," on the Minifigures website alone would be priceless.
  • I probably could have done an alternate face with a more stern expression, but I've been lazy about that the last few years. Maybe later.
  • Still though, how can't you love that smile of his?
  • The color blocking on his hat is a little off because the tricorne doesn't quite work for what he wears in the movie though it is still very close. If the purple/black alteration were totally accurate it would reveal the angularity of LEGO's mold whilst Frollo's hat is more poofy.
  • Oh, which since I usually run down how "new" molds are done, this one is the tricorne, Peter Venkman's hair, and that ponytail thing used on General Magmar and White Tiger. Admittedly, I was a little lazy with the ribbon, since I sort of just grabbed the first thing that would look right without exploring other options (and what might be better).
  • If you really think that the robe slope needs more printing, let me know. I could probaly fix that; I just don't work with that piece very often and tend to avoid creases where I can, but I could try if people think it's necessary.
