Hero Factory 2013

[ZORK64]

Just a wild guess here - is it possible that Legends of Chima's construction figure line will become the HF replacement?

But I'm looking forward to Legends of Chima. Mostly because of the eagles, they would combine everything I totally love: Wings, white and blue parts.

I also agree on a separate topic for it. After all, we should look forward to the Brain slugs for now.

[DraikNova]

I'm especially looking forward to the wolves. If the heads are anywhere near as good as Bulk 3.0's was, I'll be in MOCcers heaven.

[Bfahome]

Whatever may come, I hope greatly for Waspix's head to be released in more colors. As long as that color has a matching 2.0 hero over-helmet piece.

Well it was said that HF would be likely to end around 2013/14/15, so maybe. But what's to say we can't have multiple CCBS lines?

Not sure where you get that from.

I think that's just a rumor that's been going around since before this topic was even started.

[Cirkit]

It's an assumption I believe. Considering how long other waves have gone, about 3 years, summer and winter each, it is possible to assume Hero Factory will run for that long.

I'd prefer the idea of multiple lines for this system. We've had Super-Heroes and Hero Factory together at the same time, what's stopping anyone from making Hero Factory and 'Chima' together?

Sticking to HF, I do wonder what role Stormer will play, if any major role at all this year. Personally, I'd like to see someone like Breez or Nex have a chance to shine, since neither did during Breakout(at least, not that I'm aware). I'd love to see also if Stringer maintains his small set size, or if he gets bigger in the next wave.

I also wonder if there will be a titan-sized brain-slug host. It would be interesting to see a massive being covered in slugs, perhaps with the slugs making up certain parts of its body? Like the abdomen or muscles on the arms or something.

Just throwing ideas out there.

There was an interview a while back that said Hero Factory would go on for three years and then if it was doing well it would be continued. It's been nearly three years and I've heard nothing about any plans to end it, so I think we can assume it's doing well. Not sure where that rumor came from, but I'd give it just about as much credit as the rumors that BIONICLE is coming back in 2012/2013/2014.

I think I came up with the same idea a while back. If something like this was made, it would probably feature smaller, "clipable" brain slugs using the pin-armor system.

And here's hoping that Stringer becomes an XL hero next wave!

I don't think TLC will put two XL heroes in one wave. But still, 3.0 had three large sets (if Scorpio counts) so I hope that your rumour is true.

[DraikNova]

What two XL heroes? All I said was that there might be a large boss villain (The one with the slugs) and that I hope Stringer becomes an XL hero.

Hear, hear!

From the lion head I think we can count on great, deroboticized but still stylishly geometric, gorgeous molds.

I do believe you mentioned that a little while ago, yes.

I could see pin-slugs made quite easily, but I imagine it would be easier to just use the pre-existing slug molds. Goodness knows how versatile those are. If that doesn't prove to be the case, well.. pin-slugs it is!

I'd love to see Stringer as an XL too, but if we have one this wave, surely we won't in the next wave?

Related to this wave, I hope only the 5 Heroes/Villains of this wave feature in any upcoming episode(unless a Breakout Part 3 comes out, unlikely as that is), instead of shoehorning Stormer or the others not from this wave in to the spotlight. I want Breez and the others left out of the Breakout episodes to have a chance to shine.

If any Heroes/Villains not released this wave were to feature in a 'Brain Attack' episode, I'd hope it be briefly. Like a mission update from Stormer or Surge, or a clip of a glowing 'Brain King(hypothetical XL bad guy)' in the dark, laughing evilly and vowing to rain destruction and chaos or something like that.

Wouldn't that be awesome??

You just gave the perfect image of that idea..

[TheRedGuy]

The title of the topic is solid proof of how very little people cares about Hero Factory, even moderators.

Anyways I'm hearing people talk about a large villain, where did that come from?

Ironically, that's true to the topic title - just speculation!

[DraikNova]

Very true indeed!

[Shakar]

I blame it on the fact we don't have anything new to discuss about to begin with, aside from the new heads, the slugs and the visors. And Furno's cape..

Little innovation in this wave. Hopefully summer will bring more stuff, with a probably slightly larger wave and the Chima figures.

[DraikNova]

Personally, I hope that the next wave features some more unique builds, perhaps a vehicle. Best of all would be a vehicle made to fit a non-humanoid character.

Well, Speeda Demon is technically a non-humanoid, but I agree.

Add a bit more function, and you got it.

That's encouraging news. ;;D

Increases my urge to have just that much more now.

It's too bad we get such an awesome teaser of that lion dude, and we can't get more of it till probably February. Man, I don't care about the system lines :(

[DraikNova]

You're right. But at least we've got confirmation for the Chima constraction line at all. We could have not known about it till the sets were in the stores.

If the Chima figures are a Spring release, they will most likely appear in the consumer catalogue due December.

With Lego putting such a tight lid on pictures, I'm guessing we'll only see them at Toy Fair next year.
