LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham - Kid Flash

In a surprise second reveal of the day for LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham, they have announced that Kid Flash will be a playable character in the game.

This version of Kid Flash is Wally West. He gained his powers by a lightning strike that hit a cabinet which contained chemicals that created the Flash which covered him completely. Later on, he was given the yellow suit by Barry Allen that was tailored to him.

LEGO Creator 2014 Holiday Exclusive Toy Workshop (40106)

For the minifigures, you have a male and a female elf. For the male elf, the torso is a dark red flannel shirt and it has in a couple of LEGO City sets before. The dark tans legs that are used are from Bilbo Baggins and many others. He has a smiling expression and the elf ears and green hat piece is the same ones that we’ve seen on other elves.

The female elf is also a combination of parts that we’ve seen before. The blue sweater with purple scarf torso has been used in a couple of older Winter Village sets as well as the 2012 Holiday Set. The legs are short light bluish grey. She has a double-sided face with a smile on one side and a scard look on the other. Again, the elf ears are the same as the male elf. She also has a paintbrush as an accessory.

For the set itself, you have a small toy workshop as well as some already assembled toys including a yellow bulldozer, a green steam engine train, a soldier nutcracker, and a couple of presents.

The toy workshop is a … Continue

More Characters Revealed for LEGO Batman 3 at MCM London Comic Con 2014

LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham - Reverse Flash

During the last day of MCM London Comic Con 2014, the LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham panel took place with TT Games Arthur Parsons and Phil Ring. There they revealed three more playable characters, Reverse Flash, Black Canary, and Captain Cold.

This version of Reverse Flash is Eobard Thawne, aka Professor Zoom, who is the arch-nemesis of the Flash. He worshipped the Barry Allen’s version of the Flash so much that he made himself look like Allen using Plastomorph. When Thawne visited the Flash Museum after Allen’s death, he learned that he would be destined to be the Flash’s greatest villain. In LEGO Batman 3, Reverse Flash will probably have the same abilities as the Flash.

Black Canary is a vigilante who has been trained in martial arts and also has a sonic scream attack, the Canary Cry. She was also one of the founding members of the Justice League of America but later left the group. This version of Black Canary is different from the one in the Arrow DLC Pack.

Captain Cold is also another of the Flash’s arch-enemies. He uses a cyclotron as his main weapon to shoot ice that reduces temperatures to absolute zero. Captain Cold will also be in the upcoming 2015 LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Gorilla Grodd Goes Bananas (76026) set.

Lord and Miller Writing Script for The LEGO Movie 2

October 25, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Deadline is reporting that Warner Bros. has signed Phil Lord and Christopher Miller to write the script for The LEGO Movie 2. The pair wrote and directed the first LEGO Movie which became a blockbuster hit grossing $468 million in theaters. They were slated to produce the sequel but there wasn’t any indication before whether they would do anything else besides producing. There’s no word yet if they will be directing as well. Since Lord and Miller will be writing the script, it’ll be interesting to see which direction the sequel will go, whether it’ll continue off from the first movie or do a new storyline.

The LEGO Movie 2 will be released on May 26, 2017. Dan Lin and Roy Lee will be producing along with Lord and Miller. Jill Wilfert, Matt Ashton, Chris McKay and Kara Lord Piersimoni are signed on to be executive producers.

LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham - Mr. Freeze

The official LEGO Batman Twitter Page hit 20,000 follower today and as a “reward”, they revealed another playable character for LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham, Mr. Freeze. If he looks familiar, that is because he is the same minifigure as in LEGO DC Universe Super Heroes Arctic Batman vs. Mr. Freeze: Aquaman on Ice (76000). Note that this variant of Mr. Freeze is different from the on in the Batman of the Future DLC although he will probably have the same abilities.

The Art of the Brick: A Life in LEGO Book Review

October 25, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

Every piece of art comes with a story and renowned LEGO artist Nathan Sawaya has told his story behind his many creations in his latest book, The Art of the Brick: A Life in LEGO by No Starch Press.

The book consists of 248 fully-colored pages and retails for $29.95.

The dust jacket shows an image of one of Nathan Sawaya’s most recognizable creations, “Yellow.” The inside of the jacket gives a short overview of what A Life in LEGO is about.

Nathan Sawaya is renowned for his incredible, sometimes surreal, sculptures and portraits—all made from LEGO bricks.

The Art of the Brick is a stunning, full-color showcase of the work that has made Sawaya the world’s most famous LEGO artist. Featuring hundreds of photos of his impressive art and behind-the-scenes details about how these creations came to be, The Art of the Brick is an inside look at how Sawaya transformed a toy into an art form.

Follow one man’s unique obsession and see the amazing places it has taken him.

The book is separated into a number of small chapters, more than 40 in total. These chapters focus on each of Nathan’s builds and he tells you what inspired the particular projects. For example, Nathan originally thought that Yellow represented death but after looking back, it is actually about opening yourself up to the world without being afraid of what it may bring.
