MattZitron Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 So I'm assuming LEGO is waiting for the New York Toy Fair to officially reveal these...Aren't there some European shows around the same time in Feburary? January 25th LONDON Toyfair!
reideen1313 Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 I'm glad there's so much anticipation for this line. Maybe an introduction is due? I'm Reideen1313 btw - it's my blog that you linked to - thanks! :D I'm certainly not a LEGO expert like the other guys that made the trip - I was there for the Batman aspect of things. I've owned and run my own comic shop, I'm very active in the Batman community - I'm one of the guys that runs Legions of Gotham and I have an extensive knowledge of Batman's history thru his various incarnations over the years. But, enough about me! The statue is incredible. My eyes just about popped :oo out of my head when I first saw it. It's 12 feet tall! Like Ace mentioned on his site, it will be making the rounds this year to promote the line. If you note, the face on the bottom corner is the Joker - another very cool detail that is easy to miss if you aren't looking for it! :-D Any other questions?
Mr. Lego-builder Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 Do you get info on the color tones of the figures yet? Or is that still "classified"? ;)
reideen1313 Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 Do you get info on the color tones of the figures yet? Or is that still "classified"? ;) I don't *think* that there's a problem with discussing the colors - yellow vs flesh - but just to be safe, I've asked Jake and Steve for the official OK. I'll post here as soon as I get an answer for you!
Deinonychus Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 Well thanks for dropping buy reideen1313 to let us in on what you legally can On a side note...a friend of mine isn't sure which version it is, but I'm thinking Mr. Freeze is based heavily on the first Animated Series version. This also makes me think that the other character designs might borrow heavily from those incarnations. They're iconic, simple, and would translate beautifully to Minifig form *wub*
reideen1313 Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 I can't say much about the minifigs *yet*. *twisted* I can tell you I was really impressed by all of them. Let me put it in perspective for you. I'm a big minimate fan, so I'm kind of familiar with minifigs in general. I prefer the AA minimate stuff to say, Kubricks as an example, simply because of the design & articulation. I only have about 5 Kubricks. However, I have all of the DC 'mates and all but 2 of the Marvel 'mates. All the exclusives, chases, blanks, etc. I've branched out as a result of my addiction and purchased the Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon 'mates, Dark Angel, and many of the LOTR 'mates. As you can imagine, I've got quite a few. :-D I've built a custom Batcave based on the C3 set that was released (it's been customized because the C3 set didn't stay together - defective base plates that were warped) & I've got all of the C3 sets that were released. That said, once I get all the Batman LEGO sets, I'll be putting away my minimates & C3 stuff.
thatblockoguy Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 Hi Reid. Isn't cool how it's 5:49 here at eurobricks, but only 11:50 back at LOG.

xwingyoda Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 Great Eye Sam ;) The Joker looks amazing :oD *yoda*
sam89 Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 I've heard that the prices in Christian's link might no be accurate as Toywiz inflate their prices. So all of the sets should be cheaper. ;)

Evil Willy Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 QUOTE (Evil Willy @ Jan 5 2006, 05:13 PM) and possibly his buttler in the cave. Alfred Yes that would be the one..Couldnt quite get the name yet lol Thanks!
crispen Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 Killer Croc...Whoever that is? well.... heres a pic of him:
Evil Willy Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 where did u get that! Show us more please please!
Vader Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 Thats not the Croc that we will get in the Offical Batman line, that is a custom one from Brickshelf. For more check out this link: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=157629 If you look closely you can see the decal marks on him, still its very good.
crispen Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 yup. its true. *twisted* oh and you want more? OK
crispen Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 No. its the sets. possibly? *wacko* LOL. i didnt make them.
Deinonychus Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 HOLD THE PHONE! UCS Batmobile? :oD Excuse me for a few moments, I think I need to go change my shorts
reideen1313 Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 No. its the sets. possibly? *wacko* LOL. i didnt make them. I can tell you for a fact that those are not the sets. The batwing shown in that pic is the C3 miniflyer - it's an Art Asylum/Playalong product - not LEGO.
Vader Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 Yep that sure is the c3 bat- miniflyer, i have it and it sucks.
