LEGO Nexo Knights Royal Guard (5004390) Promotional Minifigure Revealed

June 22, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

There is now an image from Brickset of the LEGO Nexo Knights Royal Guard (5004390) promotional minifigure that will be given away from July to September. The only legit way to get it is with the last voucher from the 2016 LEGO Calendar which was given away last year with purchases.

The set comes in a box similar to the ones from the Target Minifigure Gift boxes but with full Nexo Knights deco. It’s kind of neat that it comes in a box instead of just a standard polybag. The Royal Guard itself seems to be an unique minifigure with updated torso and leg printing.

Marvel has announced the merchandising program for the Guardians of the Galaxy 2 which, not surprisingly, will include official LEGO Marvel Super Heroes sets to go with it. James Gunn on his Facebook Page also mentioned that more female characters will be represented such as Gamora, Mantis, Nebula, and Elizabeth Debicki’s rumored character Ayesha.

I’m making sure this time around the female characters are more represented in the toy world. Not only Gamora, but Mantis, Nebula, and Elizabeth Debicki’s character as well.
