“I Think You And I Are Destined To Do This Forever.”

Cubedudes: the Joker and the Dark Knight

Though CubeDude fever may have cooled over time as fads tend to do, they still trickle in from time to time and some just can’t help but make you want build your own version. ThatGuyWithTheBricks has dropped a great pair of Dudes in our forums based on Batman & The Joker from The Dark Knight and I have to admit, even though that Joker is not my favorite this CubeDude version is spot on and I’d be surprised to see a better rendition. Feel free to prove me wrong though.

Superheroes Community Window at Costa Mesa

Paul Lee, LEGO Ambassador for LUGOLA and all around good guy, set the theme for the Costa Mesa LEGO Brand Retail store for the next few weeks: Superheroes of Marvel and DC Comics. The display featured some large scale figs of famous superheroes from both brands, though DC Comics had a slightly larger presence. SandLUG member Matt Armstrong (monsterbrick), Mariann Asanuma (Model Gal) along with LUGOLA members Ezra (B. Ezra), Paul Lee (polywen), and myself helped fill out the display with miniland scale superheroes, miniature models, m-wings, and other items all to promote next year’s Superheroes license.

You can get a close up of Ezra’s contributions in his photostream.

The Minifigs of DC Comics and Marvel Comics

Poison Ivy - LEGO Super Heroes Minifigs - DC Comics

Joker - LEGO Super Heroes Minifigs - DC Comics

Catwoman - LEGO Super Heroes Minifigs - DC Comics

Batman - LEGO Super Heroes Minifigs - DC Comics

Wonder Woman - LEGO Super Heroes Minifigs - DC Comics

Superman - LEGO Super Heroes Minifigs - DC Comics

Captain America - LEGO Super Heroes Minifigs - Marvel Comics

The Hulk - LEGO Super Heroes Minifigs - Marvel Comics

Iron Man - LEGO Super Heroes Minifigs - Marvel Comics

Wolverine - LEGO Super Heroes Minifigs - Marvel Comics

Thor - LEGO Super Heroes Minifigs - Marvel Comics

I was under the impression that the LEGO booth would have some of the actual DC Comics and/or Marvel Comics sets on display. Unfortunately, that was not the case. They did have what appeared to be near-final prototypes of DC Comics minifigs of Batman, Catwoman, Joker, Wonder Woman, and Poison Ivy. Marvel Comics minifigs were represented by Thor, Iron Man, Wolverine, The Hulk, and Captain America, but those were in various early prototype stages. I didn’t realize until I finally got back to my room and downloaded the images how they actually looked, so I’m going to try and take some better pics tomorrow. Until then, enjoy.

LEGO Super Heroes Contest; Superman, Green Lantern Revealed

Thanks to flickr user Commdr_Neyo ☮, we now get a sneak preview of three of the upcoming DC Comics minifigs. Ol’ Batsy looks to be the same as previous incarnations. Superman’s hair piece looks fantastic, but I expected the blue on his torso and legs to be regular blue; it looks like a new shade. Green Lantern looks pretty awesome.

Anyways, the above image was taken from LEGOSuperHeroes.com where they’re running a contest. Create a stop-motion or live action LEGO movie, a still image, or even a drawing of your LEGO Super Heroes in action, or regular LEGO minifigs in Super Hero style. Prizes include a complete set of the 2012 DC Universe line up, trips to LEGOLAND CA, WB Studios and more. Check out the site for all the details on how to enter.

Thanks to Paul for the tip.

LEGO Gets Full DC Comics License

Variety reported a few hours ago that LEGO now has the full DC Comics license. In short, expect to see LEGO sets based on their most popular characters including Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and villains the Joker, Bane, Harley Quinn and Lex Luthor.

LEGO will unveil the initial wave of sets at Comic Con which kicks off tomorrow night. 3,000 minifigs of Batman and Green Lantern will be ~~given away~~ “distributed”. FBTB will be there all week, so stay tuned for our full coverage.

Full article snippet below, link to actual article below that:

Warner Bros. has expanded its relationship with Lego, granting the toymaker access to DC Entertainment’s complete library of comicbook characters and stories to launch DC Universe “Super Heroes” as figures and playsets.

The multi-year licensing deal, made through Warner Bros. Consumer Products, will start rolling out the new line in January, starting with 13 characters, including Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and villains the Joker, Bane, Harley Quinn and Lex Luthor.

The first toys will be shown off at the Lego booth at Comic-Con Intl. in San Diego, where 3,000 exclusive Batman and Green Lantern minifigures will be distributed to launch a promo that runs August-December, enabling fans to create and submit videos, photos or illustrations of the characters to win trips to Legoland and Warner Bros. Studios.

WB and Lego had already been producing toys and videogames around the Batman franchise, and will launch a new set of playthings around next summer’s “The Dark Knight Rises” through the Lego Batman collection. The “Lego Batman: The Videogame,” published by WB Bros. Interactive Entertainment, has sold more than 12 million units since 2008.”This partnership gives builders a chance to recreate the characters, vehicles and worlds of some of the most iconic super heroes, so they can relive the action and even customize it, a proven and winning formula in Lego construction,” said Jill Wilfert, VP, licensing and entertainment for the Lego Group.
