As expected, we will not have photos of the new LEGO items from this 2013 London Toy Fair. The stand has been completely covered this year (see photo above) to avoid shots taken from above, like this was the case last year.

For the rest, we must be satisfied with the very approximate information provided by the few blogs present on site:

Regarding the Super Heroes range: A LEGO Batman board game is planned, with 8 microfigs including Batgirl. 

The minifigs that we are going to obtain in 2013 are distributed a priori as follows:

76002 Superman - Metropolis Showdown : Superman and General Zod
76003 Superman - Battle of Smallville : General Zod, Colonel Hardy, Tor-An, Superman and Faora
76009 Superman - Black Zero Escape : Superman, Lois Lane and General Zod
76006 Iron Man - Extremis Harbor Battle : Iron Man, War Machine and Aldrich Killian
76007 Iron Man - Malibu Mansion Attack : Tony Stark, Iron Man Mark 42, The Mandarin, Pepper Potts and an unidentified minifigure (Dr Wu / Radioactive Man?)
76008 Iron Man vs. Mandarin Ultimate Battle : The Mandarin, Iron Man in an exclusive and new version.

Here are the official visuals of the LEGO Super Heroes DC Universe and Marvel minifigs announced during SDCC 2012 and offered by FBTB .

Note that Spider-Man, Venom, Nick Fury, Ultimate Beetle, Doctor Doom and Nova are the heroes of the animated series Ultimate Spider-Man I was telling you about in this article.

In addition, we will say that Batman + Gordon + Bane = A set The Dark Knight to come .... For the rest, it smells like an Arkham Asylum set full nose ....

Nova (Ultimate Spider-Man) - Ultimate Beetle (Ultimate Spider-Man) - J. Jonah Jameson - Doctor Doom (Ultimate Spider-Man)

Two of the four exclusive minifigs with a circulation of 1000 have just been revealed by USA Today.

So here are Bizarro and Phoenix (Jean Gray). Big crush for Bizarro on my side. I flash less on Phoenix, probably because of the Poison Ivy look ...

It remains now either to make a reason, or to prepare a good purse of sesterces to get them on eBay ...

Important update: FBTB confirms that these minifigs will NOT be available in hypothetical future sets of the LEGO Super Heroes range. NEVER. NEVER. NIE.

I am telling you about it here because the info is important for all those who have become accustomed for many years to the DC Comics logo as we know it so far. DC Entertainment vietn indeed to announce the radical change of its visual identity which will henceforth be declined in a personalized way according to the license or the medium concerned.

As usual as soon as we change something after long years of inaction, the fans cry blasphemy. Personally, I find this change welcome: it dust off the franchise and bring a nice touch of modernity to the various media.

The various franchise websites will be updated by March 2012.

The question that torments me is the following: will LEGO release a new version of its packaging for the Super Heroes DC range? No doubt yes, and I recommend without any implication that you store the current sets as much as you can, they are already collectors ....

You can read the press release in its entirety at this address and discover many visuals of the new logo available according to the universe.
