Good find Mesonak,and thanks Bfahome for posting direct links to the images.

These new pictures make the sets looked much better than previously, particularly the Fire Lord. But I'm still disappointed in how he used Furno's blade from last year as his primary weapon.

[The Crazy One]

Wow, they actually look okay! I think I might pick the villains up aswell. Damn, Atlantis, Pharoahs Quest, Hero Factory and finishing off Harry Potter...my girlfriend may have to stay somewhere else for a while!

I like that they've replaced the transparent armor plates with a molten rock print armor plate

He also has a silver hand

I think the most important changes in the villains are the light used when rendering and the pose. They seem almost the same as before. Even fire lord.

[Aethersprite]

Did Jetbug have pincers in the prelims? Because HE IS AWESOME. MUST. GET.

Plus the boxart is simply wicked. I CAN'T WAIT. WOOHOO!

[dviddy]

Or with stickers. =/

I doubt they're stickers.

[The Dor]

Instead of the AWESOME CLAW I was totally looking forward to :( Maybe it's just on his other hand now.

Well, Fire Lord seems to have a more balanced color scheme, but yeah, that could just be the lighting. I tend to think not though, due to DV's hints.

I like how... earthy Drilldozer's is. It makes him seem like a dwarf. Mixed with a bulldog (he totally has a bulldog face).

I doubt they're stickers.

I'm eager to see where you're getting your information from. Probably a little more eager to find that out than I am to see the sets themselves.

I'm surprised no one has commented on the new descriptions of the villains and heroes yet... Or the purple on Evo. Or the fact that each set has its own custom printed armor piece. Also, Drilldozer has a tail and Nitroblast has a double-arm on his left arm.

[Darkness Falls]

Jetbug and Nitroblast are now officially AWESOME. They are actually buys for me. I like the Fire Lord a lot more now, and of course, a few of the Heroes will be instant purchases for me.

[Front]

I want Nitroblast with a yellow head

[Brickthing]

I want Nitroblast with a yellow head

I wouldn't mind Jetbug with a red head either.

[Phantoka_Chirox]

Nitroblast looks awesome. VERY awesome, the fact that the finalized armor pieces are smooth, not bumpy on the villains make me

PS: PURPLE

[Baylego]

Evo 2.0 is purple! That is one I might want now.

[ZORK64]

Yay! New pictures! Thanks alot!

Hmmm... it's gonna be really hard to me which villians I'll get. Fire Lord is thanks to his enourmous amount of pieces a sure buy, but I'm not sure which of the other 3 villians I should get.

On the hero-side, I'll get Stormer and Surge, mostly because I need blue and white armour plates for a MOC.

Oh, so it's printed. =/

That would mean that all those decals on the Heroes are printed too.

[Zarkan]

Eh, nope, I still don't like the heroes at all. While it's nice to be finally getting a Bionicle-style set with purple in it again, it's really only two pieces that are being made in that color. And the actual designs of the HERO 2.0's, with all the awkward asymetrcality and ugly helments, leaves a lot to be desired. The 2010 Heroes were still way better asthetically IMO, while these.... just don't cut it.

On the other hand, the box villians are looking much better. Fire Lord still looks fairly lame, but Jetbug, Nitroblast, and Drilldozer all now scream awesome. It's nice to see that the finalized color schemes actually look good, and the actual designs are perfectly fine.

So, I guess 3 out of 10 isn't so bad? Well, actually it is, but at least it's not 0/10.

[Geki Brick]

Some comments on each hero:

1. Furno - awkward looking goggles. pretty much the standard set with no unique parts.

2. Stormer - pretty much Furno's twin. :(

3. Surge - My fav! Weapon is a tribute to Mistika Gali and Phantoka Kopaka.

4. Evo - 2nd best. Digging the weapon.

5. Nex - Evo's twin? Cool football helmet.

6. Breez - Weapons are lacking a bit. Cool helmet as well.

Thinking about get Surge and Evo.

P.S. Villains IMO looks bleh

I still don't like the heroes, and Zarkan summed up why for me pretty good, so I'm not going to repeat what he said.

The villains have improved, however, but I still don't rank them as high as the ones we got this year. Perhaps I need to pictures of the build set before making final judgement. Fire Lord in particular seemed to have upped himself from zero to (just below) average.

Total disaster has been avoided for Hero Factory this year, I guess. At least from my point of view. Feel free to disagree. =)

[Aethersprite]

Is it just me, or does Jetbug really resemble Bitil? Yellowish colour scheme, clawed mouth, blades for hands, blaster on left hand, dual wings/jet rockets, clawed feet, spikes everywhere...

I'm a sucker for insectoids, and I really love Bitil. Jetbug seems to me as a more refined, much more awesome version of Bitil - he's like a dream come true for me.

I never noticed Jetbug had pincers for his mouth on the prelims, I always thought they were part of his torso.
