LEGO Superheroes 2012 Rumours & Discussion

[deskp]

That's very true. For example, if you look at the new Spider-man set, you get Spider-man and Doc Ock (both very famous), and Iron Fist (didn't know who he was before the set was revealed. I thought he might be a villain before the set picture was released).

The set is based on the new cartoon where iron fist is a featured characther.

I would specially like a MARVEL vs. DC Lego game, though it is really unlikely.

It could be possible after all Lego did secure both licences and Dc and Marvel had a joint comic for a few months called Avengers vs Justic League. The plot was a Krona travels through different universes seeking the truth of creation when he arrives in the Marvel world and meets Grandmaster. Due to the fact that Krona is destroying universes after he leaves Grandmaster offers a bet to save his universe. He Grand master wins then Krona has to leave and not not destroy the Marvel world and if he loses he will take Kotna to Galactus. The bet involves the Justice League fighting against the Avengers to find several items from each of there universe. In the end they team up and defeat Korna and Grandmaster. Not sure if this is cannon in there Universes but it would be a very interesting LEGO game I think.

Please, that would be like if Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse met each other... oh wait that did happen. Well if Disney and Warner bros can agree on Roger Rabbit than maybe a video game with thier comic book properties may come to pass. Like I always say; If there is money to be made than it shall be made!

We should be celebrating. For the first time in what, 35+years both licenses are finally once again held by the same toy maker who can finally make superheroes and playsets that are cross compatible. We haven't seen that since the classic days of the late lamented Mego company. (we were so truly lucky growing up in the 70's , well ok except for the whole "way that our parents dressed us back then" thing see http://www.plaidstallions.com/ for examples of both our wonderful toys and our hideous fashion. be warned it is scary.)

You never know. I think some of the folks at Disney and Warner may finally be warming up to the idea of some sorts of cross license media deals. I think they may have finally after the better part of a century, started to grasp that their products are actually synergistic, and not actually competing rivals in the way that they have been practicing business since the 40's. The people spending the money don't make a choice of Batman or Spiderman. They want to buy both and play with them together. Just like the people that buy and read comics don't maintain quite the same rigid brand loyalty. If they read one, more often then not they read the other. The trick is to get more to read them both.

Lego and Tt games may actually the best hope of seeing such a crossover game, as they don't seem to run afoul of some of the other licenses, such as Capcom or Rocksteady.

Marvel and DC have done a number of collaborations in the past. But the way licenses are handled outside of comics there would be no chance of a game featured both sets of companies characters.

On a different note I have several led luthor poly bag sets that I'd like to trade for a hawkeye polybag set black widow fig, or hulk fig if anyone is interested.

[vynsane]

The only roadblock presently is that the editorial teams of both Marvel and DC are unusually antagonistic to each other - whether it's just some drummed up controversy to cue fanboy nerd rage or some real issues remains to be seen. That said, if their parent companies gave them a time-out and told them not to come out of the corner until they could play nice, no doubt it would happen.

now we just need Wesley Snipes let off from his insanely evil prison sentence.

...this was new to me, I've just google it :(

Please don't use this thread for trades.

Everyone else, talk of any Marvel video game doesn't belong in this thread either. Stay on topic.

I was just taking a look at a review of the Jetski set and saw the new cowl for Batman. I ordered the Funhouse a few days ago, and I'm curious if the same new cowl mold is used for all the new Batman figs, just the ones wearing black, or only the jetski one.

I'm not sure on the funhouse set. The black cowl in the new 6864 Batmobile set is the newer style, but with a correctly matching head, so it doesn't have the alignment issues of the Jetski one. The blue cowl from the 6858 Catwoman cycle set is the older style with the flatter ears.

A lego amalgam would be neat. A series of comics where marvel and dc mish mashed during the marvel vs dc run.

My poly bag has no alignment issues

I think it's just the black ones, but I can't be sure.

Mind providing a picture? Possibly even a comparison with a non-aligning head?

Sorry if I missed it, but anyone know what the minifigure is for the Super Heroes Visual Dictionary?

Do you have pictures?

I don't have pictures of it yet. But this has been mentioned in some reviews of the Jetski polybag set. It has the newer style cowl, but it was apparently still using the older head print. As a result the eye holes sit a hair low and you can see the pink skin at the bottom of the eyes. The regular box sets such as the Batmobile Two Face one have the new cowl, but the correct head. At least the ones that I have do not have any alignment issues. The blue cowled Batman from the Catwoman cycle set uses the older head print, so it lines up properly with the blue older cowl. If you put one of the newer black cowls on the blue guys head you see the same issue with the eyes riding low. The main difference between the new and old head prints seems to be that the white stripe / headband is a hair wider on the new ones. (so a new head can take a new or old cowl without any alignment issues)

There are some pics of the issue and discussion of it in friedchickenfaeries review of the polybag set here. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=71139

Is this making any sense?

No pics, but I will say the suit looks pretty cool in the game. Probably worth the money if you want a full arsenal in your BatCave.

Personally, the greatest thing I've seen in the game so far is Black Manta in minifigure form-- he came in the playable villains pack from GameStop. He looks faaaantastic!

About Black Manta and some of the other characters, are they available on the Wii, and if yes, how do I get them?

Not sure about the Wii... But the promotion never did mention any specific platform so who knows...?

It was a deal for GameStop Rewards Card Members Only-- an unlockable code for 5 villains with pre-order. I actually signed up just to take advantage of the offer. I doubt you can get it through them now... But maybe someone has leaked he code online...?

FWIW, the characters are Black Manta, Bizarro Superman, Captain Cold, Gorilla Grodd, and some guy named Black Adam.

*eye twitch* Black Adam was Shazam before captain marvel ever came into existance, he's from the egyptian era. He can go toe to toe with most major good guys.

Can anyone figure out the suits that bats has? Like the backpack for electro batman and the power suit batman.
