If there can be girls named George and Sam, maybe Natalie works for a boy too.

Hah, aquagon is sort of cute, actually.

Evo doesn't seem to load:(

What absurd circumstances for pictures to be revealed. Finalized, HD pictures on Kmart.com a good 4-5 months ahead of schedule, before we even see the sets at Toy Fair... lol.

Evo looks pretty bland to be honest, though that's one heck of a spear. Aquagon's great, has a lot of personality to him and some nifty recolors.

[Devorath]

When I saw that picture of Aquagon, I thought he should be a polybag.

For those who don't want to use that magnifier glass atrocity (pics are links):

Is it me or does Aquagon look like a... Mutated Sea Horse? Anyway, I love how Aquagon looks. But I'm a bit iffy on the yellow. I think if it were a darker shade it would look a bit bettafgbgfsgfdbjl a blue Brain and translucent armour shells.

Yes.

Evo looks wonderful too. I think I know which two sets I'll purchase first when the summer Brain Attack wave hits here.

I just noticed something interesting that you guys haven't stated yet. If you look in the mouth, you can see the rod for the hero visors in blue. That means we are getting a blue head for Evo and Aquagon. Possibly for the others but I am not sure. Hope they make a red colored one too.

[Dorek]

I think somebody mentioned it on the previous page, but it's fantastic news regardless. Too much to hope for an orange head, I suppose?

[DOTM Shockwave]

I'm also hoping we get a orange head, Pryox can really use one.

[Bfahome]

Aquagon's face reminds me of the Kanohi Avsa. AKA Vamprah's face.

I like it.

Oh man... Aquagon looks kinda boring to me, but he got two blue swords. I would get them just for these.

(though his head is also cool)

I think he is the cheapest set with trans blue small shells and black fists are not so bad either.

[Kalhiki]

Aquagon looks great. And cool news to see we're getting a blue head. I imagine that since he has blue swords, Stormer will have them as well as opposed to the silver we saw in the ToyFair picture.

Evo looks good, though kinda close to his Breakout version. Still, I'm liking him and will surely pick him up.

Aquagon looks quite lovely, definitely better than Scarox as far as 9 Euro sets go. And lots of tr. blue goodness! We already knew about 4M shells, but we're getting 3M shells too. Breakout Stringer could use them... The recoloured Rocka blades look awesome. Is the head in the same colour as Stormer's eyes, though? It seems to me it matches the shells colour, actually.

Evo is kind of bland, I agree, though I find the staff fairly clever (looks like it spins like in the show, too). His head is tr. neon green like Furno's- is it to provide a better contrast? Breez's and Rocka's heads were tr. bright green just like their visors, and it worked, so..I don't know.

Well, aren't they all just upgraded from their Breakout builds? The helmets are supposed to resemble how they looked from there but with extra details like the visors.

Anyway, I like Evo and Aquagon for different reasons than the other. Evo has a nicely designed spear and everything fits even with the blue armor and visor. I also kinda like him because he looks like a yellow Poseidon on the bag. Seriously, he is walking on water. Possibly the closest thing we will get to a Toa of Water in HF. For Aquagon, and this is my opinion, I like his/her design. It is the most unique humanoid build we have this year. Also, the lower arms are in yellow so that is good. Plus we get blue swords, armor, brain slug, and new head. I just wish someone could recreate the sword staff of his.

P.S.- Why does Evo have a yellow dagger?

[Dorek]

Same reason Bruizer has an orange one? Just an aesthetic thing. I personally like it; I started doing that two years ago with the 2.0 sets, and it's amusing to see.

Aquagon: http://www.kmart.com...37007P?prdNo=22

For those of you who are lazy to look them up.

Awesome. Thnaks very much. ;;D

The only change I'd ask for on Aquagon, would be to change the feet color to match the blades. Nice looking set all around as is the Evo set.

[Aethersprite]

Are there pictures for other summer sets on that site as well? Aquagon is pretty underwhelming to be honest.

Nope. I checked.

[Bundalings]

The Brain Attack sets are the first ball-and-socket based action figures Lego's made that I've liked absolutely none of. Yawn. Breez comes close to being interesting, but meh. I think I'll skip all these guys unless summer reveals something more interesting than Aquagon, Evo and Jet Rocka (have any of the other sets been revealed?).

[Devorath]

Jet Rocka is OK.

I'm not just talking about helmets. It's nice to see resemblence in that, just to keep the identity and feel of the character.

But as for design, I feel they should be different. For instance, BA Bulk looks hardly anything like he did in Breakout. As for Evo, he has the round shoulder armor, and the same color layout on the legs. Sure it's not too much, but for me it's noticable.

I guess what I'm essentially saying is that if I'm buying a figure I want them to be different compared to past versions. Luckily, Evo has enough variation to merit a purchase.

Yeah. Kind of like the Toa Mata/Nuva. They kept the same feel, but were still different.

[Cahillrebel]

Actually, I just realized that the dagger thing on Evo might be the bottom of his spear. It looks like it doesn't it?
