Some LEGO Super Heroes 2016 Minifigure Details

November 13, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 4 Comments

In the past couple of days, there have been more leaks of various LEGO sets but of course I’m not going to post the images. However I can still talk about them, mainly for some of the LEGO Super Heroes including DC and Marvel.

There’s not much details about the DC sets except that one of them includes minifigures of Batman, Harley Quinn, and Deadshot.

The details of some of the Marvel sets have been floating around various forums but there is information that some of you may enjoy. For the Iron Skull Sub Attack (76048), the set includes minifigures of Scuba Iron Man, aka Mark 37 (Hammerhead), Scuba Captain America, Iron Skull, and a Hydra Diver.

Another set is called the Avenjet Space Mission (76049) and it’s a neat one. The Avenjet is similar to the ship seen in the Avengers Assemble animated series but the cool stuff is the minifigures that are included. We get Space Iron Man, aka Mark 39 (Starboost), Space Captain America, Captain Marvel, aka Carol Danvers, Hyperion, and get this, a bigfig version of Thanos.

I know this is pretty vague with no official images to look at but I’m pretty excited for the new characters especially Thanos. Also the new Iron Man suits gets us a little closer to a collection of the Iron Legion from Iron Man 3. If you do run across these leaked images, please do not post them in the comments or I’ll have to remove them.

LEGO Star Wars: Small Scenes from a Big Galaxy Book Review

November 11, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

About a week ago, I received a copy of DK’s LEGO Star Wars: Small Scenes from a Big Galaxy by Vesa Lehtimäki, aka Avanaut. If you’ve search for LEGO photography at one time or another, you’ve probably come across his photos before. It consists of 176 pages filled with his work and retails for $24.99. Small Scenes from a Big Galaxy is a good example of what a coffee table book should be as it is filled with tons of high quality images from the artist.

One thing the book does not consist much of are words, at least the majority of it. The reason is because the book really doesn’t need words. However in the captions, Avanaut sometimes gives you some insight on how the images were created like using various household objects like gypsum and baking powder. Other times, you get a short description of what the scene is about. If you’ve tried LEGO photography before, you know that there’s lots of little details you have to get to find the right composition for the object. Avanaut is one of the many LEGO photographers who has pretty much mastered this craft.

The Behind the Scenes section of the book, it takes you through the life of Avanaut and how he has gotten to this point in his career. It also shows some of his concept art as compared to the final shot. Did you know that one shot took four years and two photoshoots to get right?

Overall, LEGO Star Wars: Small Scenes … Continue

LEGO Disney Collectible Minifigures (71012) Confirmed for 2016

November 10, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 19 Comments

There’s an image floating around the interwebs of a product sheet originating from Facebook that confirms the rumor that we’ll be getting some LEGO Disney Collectible Minifigures (71012) in 2016. The rumors started back on April 1st by Just2Good but nobody knew if it was real or not since it was posted on April Fool’s Day but this new piece of evidence pretty much confirms it. There’s no mentioning on which Disney characters will become LEGO minifigures but it’ll be interesting to see who we get since there are so many to choose from. Who’s on your list to see become an official minifigure?

Update: I’ve been told by CM4Sci that Peter Pan and Hook could be two of the minifigures. I’ll keep update as more information comes in.
