Another confirmation in pictures that the Iron Man minifigure in the "Heartbreaker" version of the set 76008 Iron Man vs. The Mandarin Ultimate Showdown is successful with this artwork of the film published this morning on different sites. We find of course on the minifigure all the characteristic attributes of this reinforced armor that we will see, I hope, in action in the film. If we refer to the name and content of set 76008, we can indeed hope to see Tony Stark face the Mandarin in this armor ...

In the end, LEGO is doing pretty well when it comes to the various Iron Man armors. You can feel the care taken in the design of these minifigs and each version is clearly identifiable.

Hoth Bricks reader friend and LEGO fan, if you have enough to go skiing despite your compulsive purchases of LEGO boxes, you can become a Speedorz Master by participating in the Chima Tour which will stop in six ski resorts and in 20 La Grande Récré stores.

You will also be able to discover extracts from the TV series, be interviewed by the LEGO reporter present on site and leave with many gifts. The big winner will be filmed and will have the honor of appearing on the LEGO.fr/chima site.

So write down the dates below if you hope to become the ultimate Speedorz Master (It's not from me, it's from LEGO ...):

- February 25 and 26 at Alpe d'Huez
- February 28 and March 1 in Praz sur Arly
- March 4 and 5 at Les Saisies
- March 7 and 8 in Valmorel
- March 10 and 11 in Flaine
- March 13 and 14 at Le Corbier
- From March 23 in La Grande Récré stores

Now that the Max Rebo case is about to be settled, let's get back to serious business with one of the pleasant surprises among the minifigs of the second wave of LEGO Star Wars sets for 2013: Padme Amidala in her Episode II outfit (Attack of the Clones).

And LEGO didn't skimp on signs of femininity with this reproduction of Natalie Portman: Lipstick (pink), very drawn shapes, LEGO has gone all out without forgetting the three lacerations left by the nexu on his back. This minifigure which will be available this summer in the set 75021 Republic Gunship is a beautiful tribute to the character and the actress.

In fact, the more I think about it, the more I tell myself that this injury gives Episode II a little series B side ... In short, the minifigure is very correct, it may be missing some details including a belt and a Armband on Padme's right arm to be totally faithful to the outfit of the film, but it's already very good like that, especially after the two calamitous versions released in 1999 and 2011.

The visual above is a montage shamefully made by me from photos of FBTB and a capture taken on the site Massassi Order.

The reveal was terrible: I'm not one of those Star Wars fans who know every detail, every line of dialogue, and every creature that crosses the screen for half a second, and so I was shocked to learn that Max Rebo, the musician blue elephant, will be entitled to a more than approximate minifig ... And for good reason, Max Rebo has no legs (or arms, it's up to you) .

Some of you probably already knew this, but as far as I'm concerned, it's from reading this article on Starwars.com that I realized: LEGO has done anything with this character that will be delivered to us in the next set 75020 Jabba's Sail Barge. I add more, of course, but it has to be admitted once and for all: Max Rebo has only two members.

LEGO is not the first (nor the last) to give Max Rebo 4four members when he only has two. Kenner already took liberties with this character in the 80s by marketing a figure with legs. 

After reading this interesting article on Starwars.com Proving that the creature in question was designed with two limbs and not four, I told myself that LEGO was no longer an approximation of the Star Wars universe and therefore I had to make myself a reason.

After all, it will be enough to remove his two dwarf legs to Max Rebo for him to be finally faithful to the model of the film. He'll look (silly) half a minifigure, but he'll finally look like the character as Phil Tippet imagined him to be.

Sorry to all those who are exasperated by this Harlem Shake fad, but as for the video I posted on Brick Heroes I thought that this one deserved a passage on this blog so it is successful ...
