The LEGO Movie Unikitty SDCC 2014 Exclusive Minifigure

The LEGO Movie Unikitty SDCC 2014 Exclusive

Today was the last day of San Diego Comic Con 2014 and also the last exclusive minifigure that the LEGO booth was giving away. The character that was given away was The LEGO Movie’s Unikitty however this version of her is a little different than the one found in the Cloud Cuckoo Palace (70803).

This 16 piece exclusive Unikitty uses the same exact pieces as the regular one minus 2 pieces, the face and the pink 1×3 eyebrow piece. That totals 4 exclusive pieces to this set with the 2 faces and 2 eyebrows. The faces that are included in this set can make Unikitty become Cutesykitty and Cheerykitty. She comes packaged in the usual clamshell plastic as well as an insert. The inserts for the other 2014 minifigures showed a portrait of the charcter but Unikitty’s portrait is on the back and inside the insert are the instructions of how to build her.

As you can see from the images below, when she is Cutesykitty, she has really big eyes with a sort of a worried eyebrow thing going on there. You’ve all seen how cute things look with their expressions. For Cheerykitty, she has a big smile with some raised eyebrows.

Overall, the SDCC 2014 Unikitty is a great addition to my collection and I’m glad that I was able to get all four minifigures from this year. Although this version of Unikitty is an exclusive, we may not have seen the last of her. I was in The LEGO Movie panel and … Continue

LEGO Green Lantern vs. Sinestro (76025) Officially Revealed at SDCC 2014

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Green Lantern vs. Sinestro (76025)

Today at Day 3 of San Diego Comic Con 2014, LEGO has officially revealed the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Green Lantern vs. Sinestro (76025). The set was revealed during Preview Night on Kotaku but today attendees got a first-hand look at the set.

As reported before, it will have 174 pieces and retail for $19.99 which is an awesome price point considering that fans don’t have to pay a lot of money to get the highly requested Green Lantern minifigure. One thing that is shown on Batman that was not shown in the reveal a few days ago is the printing on the wings. It seems that the wings are a printed piece but it’s hard to tell from the pics. Blame the cloudiness of case for the quality of the images. I’ll try to take some better ones tomorrow.

LEGO DC Comics Batman of Zur-En-Arrh SDCC 2014 Exclusive Minifigure

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Batman of Zur-En-Arrh SDCC 2014 Exclusive Minifigure

Day 3 of San Diego Comic Con 2014 has passed and again, I bring back home with me another exclusive LEGO minifigure for this year. Today’s minifigure was the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Batman of Zur-En-Arrh. He is a fairly obscure character from DC and was introduced in France Herron’s 1958 Batman #113 Batman – The Superman of Planet-X. Zur-En-Arrh is actually a scientist names Tlano who was inspired to play the same role as Batman from Earth. In Grant Morrison’s resurrection of Batman of Zur-En-Arrh, he is a backup personality of Bruce Wayne used in case if he was mindwiped.

On to the minifigure itself, he has the same mold as Batman except with different colors. We know that Batman works in black and sometimes in very, very dark gray but this version of Batman is the total opposite. His main color scheme is purple and red with some yellow on the arms and belt. Also note that the chest emblem is different and he wears a purple cape. He has a double-sided head with a happy expression on one side and a clenched teeth expression on the other. His accessory is a bat.

Overall, the SDCC 2014 Batman of Zur-En-Arrh is what an exclusive minifigure should be. It will probably not be produced again in an official set but since guessing what LEGO will produce in the future is a crapshoot so who knows if we’ll see him again or not. In the meantime, I’m glad that I was able to get … Continue

LEGO The Hobbit The Lonely Mountain (79018) at SDCC 2014

LEGO The Hobbit The Lonely Mountain (79018)

With all the news coming out of San Diego Comic Con 2014, I forgot to post the pictures I took of the new LEGO The Hobbit The Lonely Mountain (79018). The 866 piece set will retail for $129.99 and will be released in October. In the pictures, I tried to focus on the Smaug figure as many people were waiting patiently to see it. You can check out Smaug in action in a video created by The Brotherhood Workshop here.

LEGO DC Comics UCS Tumbler (76023) Unveiled at SDCC 2014

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes UCS Tumbler (76023)

For today’s reveal at San Diego Comic Con, LEGO unveiled the actual model of the DC Comics Super Heroes UCS Tumbler (76023) for attendees to feast their eyes on. The set was inside of a clouded window case and the pictures don’t do it justice. After seeing it with my own eyes, it’s definitely a must purchase for any Batman fan out there. The UCS Tumbler is already listed on Shop@Home in preparation on it being sold to VIP members on August 18th and to the general public on September 1st. Check out more details of the set here.

LEGO Marvel GotG The Collector SDCC 2014 Exclusive Minifigure

LEGO Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy The Collector SDCC 2014 Exclusive

For today at San Diego Comic Con 2014, LEGO was giving out the Marvel Super Heroes Guardians of the Galaxy The Collector as the exclusive minifigure. First seen at the end of Thor: The Dark World played by Benicio del Toro, he receives the Aether from Sif and Volstagg to keep in his collection.

As you can see, the minifigure does have a somewhat similar look to Benicio del Toro with a stern look on one side and an angry look on the other. He has a maroon leaf-patterned with a chain in the front torso. The back also has some of the leaf patterns as well. He wears a white cape to represent his fur cape from the movie. The legs has some of the patterns with some maroon details on the lower leg areas. Finally, he also has some black and trans-red studs to maybe show the Aether.

Like with the Bard the Bowman minifigure from yesterday, the insert inside the clamshell packaging opens up to show a mini portrait of The Collector.

Tomorrow’s minifigure giveaway will be the Batman of Zur-En-Arrh so hopefully I’ll be able to win one too and keep the winning streak going.

LEGO The Hobbit Bard the Bowman SDCC 2014 Exclusive Minifigure

LEGO The Hobbit Bard the Bowman SDCC 2014 Exclusive

Here are some clearer images of the LEGO The Hobbit Bard the Bowman San Diego Comic Con 2014 exclusive minifigure. Earlier this morning I posted a picture from my potato phone but I’m home now so you can get a clearer look at him. As you can see from the packaging, it also says The Battle of Five Armies.

I was also told today that this minifigure will be available in a set in the future just like Azog from last year. Ace over at FBTB also has confirmed this piece of news as well. For fans who really wanted Bard but couldn’t go to SDCC, you can rest assured that he will be available at some point in the future.
