The LEGO Group sent out some assets for an upcoming 2019 set in the LEGO DC Super Heroes assortment: 76117 Batman Mech vs. Poison Ivy Mech. “Poison Ivy Mech”. Pretty sure the word “mech” or “mecha” is short form for “mechanical”, implying a machine for a piloted bipedal vehicle. Poison Ivy’s “mech” looks way to organic for that moniker. While you can argue the gray bits are the mechanics, you can’t tell me that it isn’t supposed to be a walking tree that Poison Ivy sprouted out of the ground.
76117 Batman Mech vs. Poison Ivy Mech will be on display at the LEGO booth later this summer at the San Deigo Comic Con.

I’m a little behind on my DC comics stuff… but is Poison Ivy now a tree and did the Flash gain powers to shoot energy out of his hands?
“10 assorted new-for-December-2018 translucent-orange Power Burst elements”
These look suspiciously like the trans orange and blue pieces available now in the 76108 SSS https://brickset.com/sets/76108-1/Sanctum-Sanctorum-Showdown – am I missing something?
Probably? Had I actually built the set I’d be able to tell you more. But if LEGO is touting these as new maybe they’re in a new color? I really can’t be bothered to look them up on bricklink, darling, I never look back.
[…] mean seriously. The Spider-Man set and the Batmech vs. Poison Ivy Tree could be the start of something. I blame that terrible Hulkbuster set. But you know, all these […]
