8BrickMario Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 I really like that face, but that's awfully strange for LEGO to send out unreleased parts like that. Also, TT probably saw early pics of the Black Widow hair and used it for LB3. No spooky coincidences there. I just realized we're at 66 pages!

LOL and its 67 pages now!
Legocity2713 Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Good eye! Also no one brought this up, but Raptor of Vengeance got a replacement Robin head from Lego, and it has a different print from the other Robin heads. See here: http://i.imgur.com/NhP5WJy.jpg (It's the bottom one) Could this possibly be a new head print for the Bane vs. Robin racer set that was released early? Oh wow, that is quite interesting. I like how they gave him something even better than what he was looking to get replaced. :thumbup:
N_Cat Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Also, TT probably saw early pics of the Black Widow hair and used it for LB3. No spooky coincidences there. So even though they might have modeled Nurse Joker based on, say, a prototype Black Widow hairpiece and known that it would later exist, they were inaccurate for the color. In other words, TT Games managed to be accurate to Lego system, before the parts even existed, but inaccurate to the character design of one of the most famous characters of a 6 year old movie. I even addressed that point, 8BrickMario. The silly part isn't that they got the part right, it's that they got the part right before it existed and got the color wrong despite that having existed for ages.
Robianco Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 That photo was taken by Hothbricks. The torso looks horrific... It's possibly the worst drawn torso I've seen for a long time... line thicknesses are all wrong and it looks hand drawn. If Lego was printing any of these up there would be more care taken in the creation of the artwork. Hothbricks are adamant that this is from a reliable source but I'm calling fake. At least from this photo. There's something just not right about it. The print is completely misaligned on each of the three colours... even as a very early photo this looks crap.

The silly part isn't that they got the part right, it's that they got the part right before it existed and got the color wrong despite that having existed for ages. You misunderstood me. The part did exist in some form. TT were likely shown a prototype for the Age of Ultron sets since they were going to make a game based on its sets. They thought the hair would work well for Nurse Joker, so they just recolored the model. But the piece's design existed before TT put it in LB3. The color isn't "wrong", they just changed it to match the Joker's hair.
Ashnflash Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Guys, DC Superheroes encyclopedia in 2016... Exclusive undoubtedly right?

Seriously, rewatch Dark Knight; when his hair is that shape, it's reddish/orange. Like, Black Widow reddish-orange. They went to the efforts of modeling a prototype in game for accuracy over other pieces at their disposal, and made the hair the wrong color. But enough. I know we're off topic, so I won't drag this out any longer.
TheLegoDr Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Wow, my sarcasm was lost on people about 10 pages back...I haven't kept up with this thread to alert people that pretty much anything written online has a sarcastic tone.

Seems to come out in April. Hopefully the exclusive figure is a character we've haven't seen rather then another version of Batman. EDIT: Wait a minute, could Nurse Joker be the exclusive?

We have gotten leaked exclusive characters from books before right?
Amazing Bricks Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Trickster was a dvd exclsuive but he got leaked. I don't think a exclusive minifigure from a book has ever gotten leaked before.

I know we're off topic, so I won't drag this out any longer. Oh. I misremembered it. I haven't actually seen the whole movie, so I should have done my research. If the book exclusive really is Nurse Joker, then it's a bit disappointing. More accurate hair in a new style would be better. Maybe Luke Skywalker's in dark orange or a nougat shade would work?

I thought that too, however, exclusive figures tend to be less stingy with printing than Nurse Joker seems to be. Edited September 14, 2015 by psqidexslizer248

No problem. You should see the whole movie ASAP, though, because it's wonderful. Though I don't think that particular figure is real, I would have absolutely zero problem with getting Nurse Joker, and I would kill to get Luke Skywalker hair in more colors; it might literally be my favorite Lego hair.
Bricky Dee Williams Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 It's a Target Cube minifigure, but what about Lightning Lad? He's been leaked, like other exclusive minifigures! And he's still not out. I for one would love that Nurse Joker! I don't have the Tumbler (yet)

I've think we've seen leaked figures that were missing some elements before, including CMF 14. Maybe they got just the head, torso, and legs and just used replacement hair?
N_Cat Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Who says NJ's a cube minifigure? No, he said Lightning Lad is a cube minifig, and that he'd like it if NJ was also a cube minifig.
tafkatb Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 As someone else already pointed out, that torso is just a slightly modified version of the Arkham Harley torso. It's very obviously someone's custom. I promise you it is not going to be in a racer or a Target cube or the DC encyclopedia.

I just hope that it's another new DC villain (I hope for Reverse Flash).
