Alien Hand

Nice to see the Jay Garrick confirmation. First IG picture has a lot of reflection but you can make out that they included the 'shirt flap' in the design. That's interesting because that isn't a typical element ever used in the golden age design. The CW Flash TV show incorporated that as part of the Hunter Solomon design and the only other place I'm aware it was used was the Smallville comic version of Jay. So, interesting that Lego went with that design element.

You know, it looks kind of real to me. Its the kind of thing Lego would do for SDCC - something that might not be appropriate for generally available sets, but a nice toss-out to fans. The designs look like what Lego would invest in for SDCC figures. Using the Spider-man legs is a perfect use of off-the-shelf parts. The only thing that would be a surprise is the new piece for Flash's helmet.

I didn't know about the Han hairpiece being available in another set - that might explain him. As for Deathstar droid, I'm thinking perhaps what Robianco mention - maybe someone stuffing their pockets in a factory. I wish someone would stuff their pockets with Leia or Tarken!

Can someone help explain something to me? I don't want to have to buy 75159 and just want some of the figs. I realize that there are not many people that will be buying this set to part it out, hence the figures are hard to come by. But how/why are some of the figures (like black death star droid and Han) relatively much more plentiful on eBay and BrickLink?

Yeah, that Decool Zebra Batman looks like a very good reproduction of Christo's. Seeing as I'll never own the authentic piece, this will serve as a good stand-in.

I assumed they are all made by the same source, just sold under KF brand for individual sales. I would attribute the difference in print quality to just a lack of quality control or specific examples coming from different/earlier print runs. The only thin that makes me question my assumptions is that the face on your KF picture looks different from the other SY examples (an my own) and that looks like more than just a misprint, but a slightly different face design. I just can't believe they'd care enough to update the face design though. I'm probably over-thinking it at this point ;-)

I'm really hoping and even expected Lego to release a Saturn Girl, but as we haven't seen a bit of evidence, I'm starting to wonder. In years past, didn't we see leaks by this time of the year for the Superboy and Lightning Lad figures that eventually came out in Target gift cubes for the holidays? I'm still holding out hope we'll see her as it only makes sense. Those three Legionnaires appeared in the Lego DC video and they've given us two of the trilogy - just one more to go.

Those Dargo figures look like a step up in quality from the Dr Fate wave. Only interest for me might be the new Spider-man 2099, but I'd want to see another close-up picture first and then get it on a single sale. I'm curious if Ghost Rider's flames are glued onto the skull or not. If not - that could be useful piece. That Avengers Tower looks pretty cool. All three of those exclusive figs are interesting and I would hope we would eventually see them for single sale or in smaller sets - I gotta have me that Stan Lee Iron Man. I was worried about SY's exclusive big figs as I just couldn't see myself buying those knockoff Lego sets just to get them, but then have found them all single sale in various places. So, maybe via Kopf or others, we'll eventually be able to get them.

Yeah, that Two-Face is a little strange. Not sure I'm too keen on Catwoman either - it will be interesting to see what a proper full costume version looks like. Its funny they let her have a utility belt in Arkham. Overall, I'm not sure how I feel about this Arkham set. I'm not a collector of the sets or buildings. Arkham looks awesome, but I'm just not excited to get all these villains in orange jumpsuits. Maybe they'll grow on me. As it is, between all the movie sets and the CMF series, I'm bracing myself for the the onslaught. I've been thinning my collection down just to make room.

Thanks. I've been reading from the shadows for years, but finally took the plunge. I tried setting up accounts a couple times before and they wouldn't take. Now, with the new forum update, it miraculously worked.

Yeah, that two-color print on Angel just looks lazy. The early pictures coming out for this wave don't look too good - Nightcrawler looks terrible. I don't know - Xinh and Pogo both seem to be taking steps back. I can't wait to see how they hack up KO Customs' Wolverine.
