Super Heroes 2014 Rumors & Discussion

[halomaster96]

From FBTB's photos, it's apparent that the mask goes down far enough that he could have a double-sided head - two different expressions on the red or something. But, FBTB probably would've taken a picture of that if it was the case. We'll have to wait and see, but I'd be leaning towards no double-face and a perpetually angry Flash.

Thanks, that's why I wanted to know. If they only gave him one face it should be either serious or a smirk, and not angry. Just because he's red, that doesn't mean he is a red lantern.

By that logic, BtB Batman doesn't have a second face or backprinting cuz FBTB didn't take pics of those either

Not really… we know he has a second face, and backprinting isn't something people are dying to see. Since they bothered to remove Flash's helmet and snap a pic of his back, you can kind of assume that they'd take a picture of the second face if there was one. Sure it's all speculation, but it's not faulty logic.

[RaincloudDustbin]

Didn't think so.

Could someone link to the FBTB photos? Can't find it in their photostream.

anybody think that Flash's head could be used for Angel's red and white X-Men suit?

Hmm, I would suppose so. It does look like it'll work.

[legofreak86]

Just an idea but maybe it would make sense if the steamroller set with the unconfirmed hero and villains to be Green Arrow and Dark Archer. As green arrow is most in focus in the media nowadays due to his TV show he would be the clear choice of justice league member to include as children are familiar with him. The actor for arrow even said in a recent interview he loves it when children dressed as him come to the set of the show so it must be a pretty popular character. Dark Archer is a clear villain choice as he is the most iconic villain that arrow has faced and has been dead centre in the recent TV show. This could also mean as he is featured in arkham origins and in arrow, death stroke who is also very iconic for being a batman and green arrow villain could be included too. Just some thoughts on what could appear character wise in the steamroller set.

Fox has picked up a Batman prequel show, or a Gotham show where there is no Batman with Gordon being the main character. Sounds horrible but might make LEGO get even more Batman sets made because they are really lacking with the Batman sets. :lol:

Hmm, I doubt it would be Green Arrow. LEGO only put out the comic con exclusive one a few months back. I can't see them releasing him for a couple of years because of that. Also I'm getting the feeling that LEGO want to do the core justice league first ( Super-man, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Flash and Green Lantern ) while there has been a bit of a Push for Arrow recently I think LEGO will wait a while before putting him in a set. Even then I doubt it will include Merlyn or any other Arrow villains, the only one I could see is Deathstroke.

Good point but I say out of the league he is the one with the most media focus at the moment. The superman set in 2012 was well timed as man of steel had just been announced and the videogame of Lego batman 2 had him featured heavily. The 2013 set with Aqua-Man was an excuse for batman to wear a different outfit and be thrown into yet another set. They could've chosen any league member for batman to rescue (in this case aqua man) that some kids would know from his regular appearances on brave and the bold animated TV series. I still think the comic con one is an exclusive variant and there will be a different costume green arrow to come in the sets such was the case with superman in 2011 he was a preview figure for the line. Flash is once again good timing as he is appearing in physical form in arrow season 2 which has been known for quite a while plus the theme of the set he is in works well. Plus coming to think of it mold wise. To make batgirl (which a lot of people including myself want) They would have to make a whole new cowl and hairpiece like the videogame that fit together or are one piece. Whereas green arrow's pieces are simple,already exist and just requires new printing. Even the combine bow of Hawkeye's exists they would either have to repaint it or use it in black. Deathstroke I agree is quite possible due to popularity and the fact this set involves the joker who is another character from arkham origins this would be a good fit. Merlyn was just an idea as an iconic villain like what happened with lex luthor in the superman set both are currently more well known and in the public eye than other DC villains. Just a thought if its a steamroller city based set then green lantern wouldn't really be suited. I mean flash was in a chase set and aquaman in a water set so green lantern would make more sense in a space set. Whereas a city based set is the right place for arrow as him and batman are land and city based vigilantes. Perhaps not Merlyn but I could see batman and green arrow facing off against joker and deathstroke and maybe one other villain as has been said. This is all just speculation though. Can't wait to see what the sets really look like and include.

So when can we expect pics?

Mid-October, at least judging from last year.

Yes.

Seeing how Deathstroke was also important in Young Justice you have a much better case with him than any other GA villain. But I am basing this also partly on me having no idea who GAs villains are.

The show is Gotham Central with police officers being main characters but it is a very unstable rumor at the moment and if they don´t do Agent of Shield sets I don´t expect Gotham Central sets or even any influence from GC over new sets since LEGO seems content with releasing the same 10 villains over and over again.

Hmm, I doubt it would be Green Arrow. LEGO only put out the comic con exclusive one a few months back. I can't see them releasing him for a couple of years because of that.

ASM Spider-Man from the same batch of exclusives would have more problems getting in a set, at lest they could give Arrow a redesign with his fine beard and hat if they care at all.

Also I'm getting the feeling that LEGO want to do the core justice league first ( Super-man, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Flash and Green Lantern ) while there has been a bit of a Push for Arrow recently I think LEGO will wait a while before putting him in a set. Even then I doubt it will include Merlyn or any other Arrow villains, the only one I could see is Deathstroke.

Right now Green Arrow is in a much better position in the public than all others. He was a main character in Brave and the Bold, Smallville, JL Unlimited and Arrow, that is more publicity than Superman had and much less than Flash and Wonder Woman. But expecting them to include a villain for GA is a little too much. Wondy and Aquaman were damsels and Flash seems to have something against Riddler for no reason. Would be surprising if they include one and interesting IMO since I know not a single villain from his gallery.

Just a thought if its a steamroller city based set then green lantern wouldn't really be suited. I mean flash was in a chase set and aquaman in a water set so green lantern would make more sense in a space set. Whereas a city based set is the right place for arrow as him and batman are land and city based vigilantes.

Can't wait to see what the sets really look like and include.

A Ice Slider vehicle thingie is a water based vehicle? I wouldn´t say there is any theme behind the placement of the JL figs and regardless if it is Green Arrow or Lantern both sound pretty silly for a steamroller. But then again, Joker with a hat, Batman and New52 Nightwing that are all possible to be included in it sound unfitting.

So when can we expect pics?

2014 the latest.

I concur that GA makes the most sense in terms of recognisability. Also, if they were to put GA in a set, Deathstroke seems most likely given his appearance in Origins, although I'd prefer Merlyn.

Also, and I know this might sound like a ridiculous question, but is there a chance there's another minifigure in the Riddler set we haven't heard about? As NFS said, Flash seems a bit out of place, so it got me wondering that the set may contain one of Flash's rouges that LEGO have so far kept secret.

Why would they keep it a secret? They had three other full sets they could have shown if they were worried about spoiling something.

Actually, Superman was the only one of those three 2011 figs (and of any Comic con exclusive for that matter) to be released exactly the same in a set.

[Big T]

I could see Green Arrow getting a figure before Green Lantern, and Deathstroke makes a lot of sense as a potential figure. Part of me thinks if there's an store exclusive DC set for the next wave it'll feature one of our Green guys. I get the feeling Flash has filled the 'extra' figure quota for the Justice League in the regular release waves, and we'll get either a new Robin and Nightwing, or a Nightwing and Batgirl figure in the new sets. There's no foundation for these suspicions haha

[LegoBatmanFan]

Fresh off my Star Wars reveal, here's what is slated for January release for Superheroes (all DC, sorry Marvel fans, maybe next round!)

76010 The Penguin Face off

76011 Man-Bat Attack

76012 The Riddler Chase

76013 The Joker Steam Roller

I have seen all four sets and will post impressions soon!

where did you see them?

[Freddy Bricker]

where did you see them?

He claims he saw them in a toy catalogue. I believe his rumoured star war sets were correct so.....

[TheStrategist]

Well leaked pictures actually showed up from the retailers catalogue of star wars ( I saw them) and all of those he got exactly right, so that can validate his claims.

[LegoBatmanFan]

If so how can he only "Make out figures" Surely he could've seen the villains in steam roller?

A lot of times, the images can be small, blurry, preliminary, missing figures, substituted figures, and the like. When these images used to get leaked in the past, it was not 100% clear what was included and what was missing. As an example, the preliminary leak for 7787 had a whole little base for Riddler and Bane, the actual set was just a gate. Set 6210 had a Cloud City Boba Fett, Chewbacca and C-3PO pictured. That is probably why it is a good thing, that the first public image of a set is usually the final production image, to avoid failed expectation and disappointment.
