LEGO Hero Factory 2014: Mini robots, Jaegers and Kaijus ...

We don't talk much about it here, it must be said that I am not a big fan of the Hero Factory range (my son loves this range), nor a nostalgic for the Bionicle range.

But the 2014 range of Hero Factory sets (8 sets) available next January brings its share of significant changes that are well worth a few lines: The announced sets will contain the usual robots, but they actually become exo-skeletons piloted by heroes that LEGO calls Mini-Robots grappling with villains who look like kaijus (who said Pacific Rim?).

Each Mini-Robot is made up of parts that we know well: The torso is actually a skeletal torso System, the head is a standard model covered with a helmet like on our regular minifigs and therefore the character's armor and helmet are compatible with regular minifigs, although the armor does not appear to fit perfectly on a standard minifig. So many pieces that will certainly interest MOCeurs and creators of space dioramas.

One question: This rapprochement with the range System will it be enough to convince some of you to buy Hero Factory in 2014?

You can find reviews of all the new Hero Factory Invasion From Below 2014 sets at Eurobricks (The photo above is from one of those reviews).
