November 20, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The Adventure Time Project by jazlecraz now becomes the latest project to hit 10,000 supporters on LEGO CUUSOO. The set features a micro-scale Tree Fort and includes various notable characters of the show such as Finn, Jake, BMO, Ice King, Princess Bubblegum and Marceline. If you haven’t heard of Adventure Time, it is an animated TV series that takes you through the adventures of Finn and Jake. The show does feature a little bit of controversy but it is geared towards kids. Whether it is suitable for LEGO’s core audience and guidelines, that is up for the the LEGO Jury to decide in the Winter 2013 Review Stage. Congratulations to jazlecraz for the achievement!

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has released a cool little infographic for the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes video game. It highlights some neat facts about various characters in the game. Did you even wonder how long it would take Howard the Duck to swim across Central Park Lake or how long it takes Iron Man to fly across Manhattan? Well this infographic will tell exactly how long it would take to accomplish those tasks.

We’ve played the game and have thoroughly enjoyed it so far. We’ve done a review for LEGO Marvel Super Heroes for the Playstation 3 version. We also did a handy guide on how to get the Deadpool Red Bricks if you need help finding them.
