just2good Posted July 18, 2016 Author Posted July 18, 2016 That's the football player helmet also used in dark green in Ninjago Skybound I think. EDIT: how apt, I was Ninja'd. If I'm not wrong the exact same one was used on the CMF hockey player. And speaking of the helmet, I think the head and helmet combo looks terrible. Ah alright! I like it, but why is there that 4x4 plate included? Is that a stand or something relevant to the show?
legosamsonite Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Ah alright! I like it, but why is there that 4x4 plate included? Is that a stand or something relevant to the show? The atom is a shrinker, palmer tech is his company, so it's like the giant blocks in the antman set, compared to a data card he is that size ;)
CM4Sci Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 My guess is it's some sort of computer chip in the show included to show how small he is. I'm kind of disappointed, a pretty plain figure - and it doesn't even use the Ultra Agents helmet, which would have made it so much better. Easy pass - I'm not even going so why does it matter?
just2good Posted July 18, 2016 Author Posted July 18, 2016 See, I don't follow the show - didn't know the guy shrinks.
Zergos Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Dangittt. I didn't wanna have to buy another sdcc fig, but he looks so awesome.
Amazing Bricks Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Awful but at the same time, I'm not mad. This year has the worst figures and that's a good thing for me!
LegoFjotten Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Happy they made such forgettable figures for SDCC this year, I'll loose no sleep over missing out on these.
Legocity2713 Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 I'm kind of disappointed, a pretty plain figure - and it doesn't even use the Ultra Agents helmet, which would have made it so much better. Exactly! It would have been the perfect time to use it. The figure is nothing special, but I do like the computer chip piece. This year has the worst figures and that's a good thing for me! This. The figs really are lacking this year. I never get the figs no matter what because to spend $100+ on a plastic figure is ridiculous, but its still nice to know that they look nice.
CM4Sci Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 That is the last exclusive, by the way. I don't know if that means no more reveals or what.
TheBrickBuilder14 Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 That is the last exclusive, by the way. I don't know if that means no more reveals or what. Shouldn't we also get atleast one Lego Batman movie set reveal?
Sebiron Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 I love that design but yes, WHY not the Ultra Agents helmet ???
julesvincent Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 That is the last exclusive, by the way. I don't know if that means no more reveals or what. I loved those special sets from SDCC (60's Junior Batmobile, Action Comics #1, Throne of Ultron etc.) Will we get something new there or did the BrickHeadz replaced those?
Sir Gareth Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Will we get something new there, or did BrickHeadz replace those? BrickHeadz replaced the SDCC exclusive sets, at least for this year.
julesvincent Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Thats bad on the one hand since those sets always were nice but good on the other because we will get them cheap next year. Thanks Sir Gareth for the info!
benderisgreat Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 This Atom exclusive minifigure is so bad! No double molded helmet, bad printing, really dissapointing. But at least I don't have to buy him for couple hundred $ off eBay.
Anonknee Muss Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Ultra agents helmet would have been much better, I might buy if I can get it cheap enough! Wish me luck
Rookie875 Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 https://mobile.twitter.com/iTunesTrailers/status/755092429775118336 Saw this on Twitter. Hopefully it means we get a set reveal.
Ceroknight Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 The Atom figure looks a lot better than the Captain America one but it still is pretty mediocre.
DarrellBricker Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Surprisingly, I'm not that interested in this figure although I enjoy the character on the CW shows. I can skip it without feeling too badly about it, which is good since I can't get to SDCC. I hope Lego does a comic-accurate version of the Atom in an official set at some point, though.
Duncan Young Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Not bad by any means but I usually prefer cartoon/comic based figures, though I guess it doesn't matter considering I won't be going...
clra2 Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 I like the Atom figure but I think this year's exclusives are pretty weak (for both Marvel and DC). But that's good for people who can't go. I'll try and get an Atom figure somehow but I really want to know how he looks from the side with the helmet, without the helmet, and whether he has a second face. I think the printed stand is my favorite part actually
dario2739 Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 (edited) See, I don't follow the show - didn't know the guy shrinks. Have you never read a comic? The Silver-Age Atom has been around since 1961, and shrinking is his 'power' (the Arrow TV show isn't the best source material to go off) - he pre-dates Ant-Man too. As for the figure... very disappointing, especially the helmet as everyone has noted... I've seen better customs. Edited July 18, 2016 by dario2739

Yeah, I was going to say but decided to leave it, this sort of confusion happens often and I particular hate when people call Atom a rip-off Ant-Man etc. Perhaps one day we'll get a classic Atom but for now this'll have to do (only for the serious collectors though :()
CM4Sci Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 In his defense (?) I didn't know Atom existed until the TV show was announced.
