If you have already pre-ordered your Next-Gen console (for me it will be the PS4), it would be a shame not to plan to play LEGO Marvel Super Heroes on your new toy as soon as it is released ... And to answer the few emails received In this regard, I can confirm that the game will be released in a limited edition accompanied by the Iron Patriot minifigure on PS4 and XBOX One.

Today we quickly make the rounds of the pack of minifigs LEGO Marvel Avengers Infinity War bearing the reference 5005256, initially intended to be distributed exclusively by Toys R Us as part of the traditional "Bricktober" operation.

The international fiasco that followed the closure or takeover of the brand's stores in several countries has since called into question this method of distribution in certain geographical areas. In France, Toys R Us will survive and, we have known for a few days, will market two of the four limited edition packs available, the reference of which interests us here.

The four minifigs provided here are exclusive to this pack until proven guilty. We can also consider that these are characters who were probably intended to integrate different sets already marketed in which their presence was justified. More than just variants, these are versions that can be directly associated with certain scenes seen in the films.

If we count Iron Patriot seen in the polybag 30168 (it's up to you), this is the fourth version of War Machine after that of the sets 76006 Iron Man: Extremis Sea Port Battle (2013) et 76051 Super Hero Airport Battle (2016)

Everything is played here on the (numerous) details which dress the armor in Mark IV version worn by James Rhodes with a pad printing extended to the arms of the characters. The double-sided face is very successful with on one side the red HUD generated by the armor and which is therefore not really intended to be present once the helmet is removed. In short, we know it's there, it's well done, I take.

Despite a limited presence on the screen, the minifigure could easily have found its place in the sets 76101 Outrider Dropship Attack (2018) or 76104 The Hulkbuster Smash-Up (2018)

Bucky Barnes, who becomes White Wolf on screen, is delivered here in a version that could also have been included in the set 76104 The Hulkbuster Smash-Up (2018). Nothing crazy, but the outfit is faithful to the one seen in the cinema with the added bonus of a nice pad printing on the left arm and a holster on the right leg.

Collectors will hardly be able to do without this new variant which joins the two other interpretations of the character: the minifig seen in the sets 76047 Black Panther Pursuit (2016) et 76051 Super Hero Airport Battle (2016) and that of polybag 5002943 (2015).

Doctor Strange's staunch companion Wong is a beloved character among fans and his absence from the LEGO lineup has always been a source of frustration for collectors.

This minifigure could in fact have been delivered in sets 76060 Doctor's Strange Sanctum Sanctorum (2016) or 76108 Sanctum Sanctorum Showdown (2018) even if the character's presence on the screen during Infinity War is more than anecdotal due to his hasty departure for New York ...

Wong is here accompanied by a work from the library of the palace of Kamar Taj. The minifig does the job with a pad printing that takes up the different attributes of the character's costume well, even if I find the whole visually a bit messy with a red background that does not really highlight the different printed patterns.

In the box, we also find a version of Tony Stark which would also have had its place in the set 76108 Sanctum Sanctorum Showdown (2018). In my opinion, the pair of Dita Mach One glasses worn by Robert Downey Jr is missing, but this version will do. Pretty pad printing on the chest and arms of the character with hood on the back and shiny effect quite convincing for the whole outfit.

In short, there is no need to overdo it on these four new minifigs that collectors will in any case have to get to sleep better at night. Diorama enthusiasts can also use them to enhance their diverse and varied staging. They are successful and original enough to justify a purchase of this pack which will be sold by Toys R Us in November, it is just a matter of accepting the idea of ​​spending twenty euros to get them.

Note: The pack presented here is as usual in play. To participate in the raffle, simply post a comment on this article before November 9 at 23:59 p.m.. You have every right to disagree with me, this is not eliminatory.

Update : The winner was drawn and was notified by email, his nickname is indicated below. Without a response from him to my request for contact details within 5 days, a new winner will be drawn.

Each day, Marvel will unveil the visual of a new character from the game among the 140 announced.

It's Black Bolt (or Black Arrow), the electron manipulator created by Stan Lee & Jack Kirby, that opens the festivities with the visual above. The minifigure is simply superb ...
