Please note that LEGO does not present all the characters that will be present in the final versions of the sets (see bold text in the descriptions in English below) due to risks related to the confidentiality of certain major script elements of the film which will be released. end of April 2012.

6866 Wolverine's Chopper Showdown

6866 Wolverine's Chopper Showdown

I am obviously at my expense on the principle of the official packaging, which on the LEGO Super Heroes Marvel range does not include the visual codes of other derivative products on the same theme as is the case for example on the Star Wars range . Instead, LEGO simply changed DC blue to Marvel red.

Regarding these Hero Factory type figures, not much to say. We like it or we hate it, and only Iron Man (4529 September) finds favor in my eyes. The character being in armor, this representation remains in the mind with a justified robotic aspect. It still lacks a few additional parts around the axes to flesh out the armor a little and give it a more massive appearance.

Hulk (4530 September) is definitely way too cartoonish and reminds me of a character from the Ben10 universe with his very / too stylized face ... In this set the Hulk is dressed in his tattered pants / blue shorts unlike the figurine of the set 6868 Hulk's Helicarrier Breakout shown wearing beige pants.

Captain America (4597 September) might have been successful if it weren't for those useless armored epaulettes that have nothing to do with it. The shield is pretty and will undoubtedly be used by a few MOCeurs inspired to reproduce Cape Town at the scale of the shield, but with parts System.

 Note that these three sets were briefly put online on Amazon a few weeks ago at a price of € 14.50 before being withdrawn (see this article).

As you probably know, each range of derivative products for a film or a cartoon uses well-defined codes in terms of packaging imposed by the holder of the license concerned.

Thus for products derived from the Star Wars universe, a character from the saga is highlighted each year (Darth Maul in 2012) and is therefore found on all the boxes sold, regardless of the brand.

We still haven't seen a single image of a Marvel set, so I offer you two examples above of derivative products that will be marketed when the film is released in April 2012. Boxes of LEGO sets should use these codes. visuals with the Avengers logo in silver color and probably a montage of the troop of super heroes responsible for saving the world and filling Disney's coffers.

FBTB was at the London Toy Fair and delivers some information on Marvel novelties, for lack of photos:

6865 Captain America's Avenging Cycle : As said before, the set was partially presented with Captain America and his motorcycle. A character is missing (Red Skull?) So as not to reveal the scenario of the film. 

6866 Wolverine's Chopper Showdown : The minifigs provided are therefore Wolverine, Magneto & Deadpool as announced a few days ago via the official description of the set. Wolverine's claws are removable and are not integrated into the minifig's hands.

6867 Loki's Cosmic Cube Escape : Set delivered with Loki, Hawkeye & Iron Man, it's no longer a surprise since the official set description was published. Hawkeye is behind the wheel of a pickup truck with Loki standing behind it. Loki is equipped with a helmet and holds the Cosmic Cube represented by a transparent 1x1 brick. Iron Man is equipped with a helmet with a movable visor which reveals a screen printed face on both sides. This minifigure appears to have favorably impressed visitors.

6868 Hulk's Hellcarrier Breakout : This set comes with the Hulk, Hawkeye, Loki & Thor minifigs. Hawkeye would appear to be equipped with a new bow model. Loki would be imprisoned.

6869 Quinjet Aerial Battle : The minifigs delivered are Black Widow, Ironman, Thor & Loki. The Quinjet appears solid, bulky, and packed with features.
