LEGO BrickHeadz Marvel Avengers Infinity War minifigures: official visuals

If you're a fan of LEGO BrickHeadz collectible minifigures, here are the official visuals for four new characters that will soon be added to the already long list of available sets.

Iron Man (MK50), Thanos, Star-Lord and Gamora will be available soon for the usual retail price of € 9.99 on the LEGO Shop and in the LEGO Stores.

This is already the third Iron Man BrickHeadz figure after the reference 41590 and the one available in the set 41492 alongside Captain America (Exclusive to SDCC 2016).

It's without me, I ignore this range whatever the theme.

New LEGO Marvel Avengers Infinity War features are available

Go ahead for a big ladle of LEGO Marvel Super Heroes sets with the availability of six boxes Avengers Infinity: War and the set 76105 The Hulkbuster: Ultron Edition.

Throughout the weekend, LEGO is giving you some freebies to thank you for spending your money on its official online store (or Saturday in your favorite LEGO Store), two artworks by Ron Lim and a G polybaguardians of the galaxy (30525 The Guardians' Ship).

We will come back to the 76105 The Hulkbuster: Ultron Edition set very quickly and in more detail. By then, some of you will certainly have already bought and assembled it, so we can compare our impressions.

76105 The Hulkbuster: Ultron Edition

LEGO Marvel 76100 Royal Talon Fighter Attack

Today we are interested in the LEGO Marvel set 76100 Royal Talon Fighter Attack with its 358 parts, its four minifigs and its almost reasonable retail price of 34.99 €.

First observation: I am happy to see that LEGO offers us a product derived from a film whose content makes many appearances on the screen. I emphasize this because it is not always the case ...

Even if the result is ultimately very honest, we can think that LEGO once again had access to a few very preliminary visuals of the ship to imagine the set. Even if we know straight away that it is the Royal Talon, the LEGO version is a little too tight and compact. But it holds well in hand and the youngest will be able to really have fun flying this ship. This was probably the goal that LEGO wanted.

Collectors will have to be content with this version, it will certainly be the only one that LEGO will market, but it can still be enthroned alongside a Quinjet or a Milano without disfiguring your shelf.

The cockpit is quite spacious, and there are obviously no levers. Those who have seen the film will understand that this is not an oversight or a shortcut on LEGO's part. The canopy is dressed with a sticker that adds the essential finishes, we will be satisfied. Long stickers also dress the sides of the ship. Be careful with the installation of these stickers ...

The designer chose fins in Pearl Dark Gray already seen in some Ninjago sets to reproduce the rear perimeter of the ship. Why not, the rendering is very correct and these fins are firmly attached to the cabin. They don't move and that's a good thing both for the overall aesthetics and for the handling of the ship. There is nothing more annoying than having to regularly realign this type of element ...

Under the ship, it's much more sketchy and not very faithful to the film version. The two reactors are positioned differently and they boil down to a few transparent parts. It's not a big deal, no one will exhibit this Royal Talon upside down.

The Stud shooters that add a bit of extra playability to this set are concealed enough not to detract from the overall aesthetic of the ship.

A hatch located on the upper part of the Royal Talon gives access to an interior space. Nothing very exciting, just enough to store a few weapons or a minifigure.

Black Panther

LEGO Marvel 76100 Royal Talon Fighter Attack

Regarding the minifigs, the set allows you to obtain four characters: Black Panther, Nakia, Killmonger and Ulysse Klaue.

A note: It's a paradox, Black Panther is a film where the costumes are really amazing and original, but not all minifigs based on the film have been lucky enough to be so successful. Three of the four minifigs in this box have neutral legs without any pad printing.

76100 Royal Talon Fighter Attack Heroes Back 2

The Black Panther minifigure is quite successful, too bad for the eyes that I find a little too big under the mask. The costume is sober but faithful to the hero's outfit seen in the film. A few lines on the legs and it was perfect.

Despite having a torso very much like the costume from the film, Nakia also lacks a few significant attributes: epaulets, armbands, and something that looks like a tunic.

The legs could also have been pad printed with different shades of brown, just to match the character outfit. A good point for the heroine haircut, a new piece that offers many possibilities for anyone looking to create original minifigs.

Nakia has her two Ring Blades ou Chakrams here embodied by two gray rings. It is basic but sufficient. Anyway, the MOCeurs will quickly find an alternative use to these two rings, a third copy of which is also delivered by LEGO in this box ...

Killmonger's minifigure is also successful. The mask is faithful to the model in the film and it is made of soft plastic, which will prevent it from being destroyed when you step on it. The torso and legs conform to the character's outfit on screen. Too bad for the really neutral face already seen on the Shocker minifigure of the set 76083 Beware the Vulture and for the absence of a beard. LEGO might have been able to provide some extra hair, especially since the mask only makes a relatively short onscreen appearance ...

Ulysse Klaue will be especially valuable for having the chance to add a new version of Andy Serkis (with his real face ...) to our collections. We can discuss the character's left hand and the weapon provided by LEGO, but overall the minifig is faithful to the outfit of the actor in the film and LEGO reproduces the face of Andy Serkis rather well.

In summary, this 76100 Royal Talon Fighter Attack set sold € 34.99 on Shop @ Home has its faults but it is also a box which offers a rather successful machine and four characters relatively faithful to their versions on the big screen. There is something for everyone: the youngest will be able to play with this solid and compact ship and collectors will get a very correct reproduction of the Royal Talon Fighter. I say yes.

Note: The set presented here, supplied by LEGO, is included in the game. To participate in the raffle, simply post a comment on this article before the March 4 at 23:59 p.m.. You have every right to disagree with me, this is not eliminatory.

LEGO DC Super Heroes Visual Dictionary

We knew that a new Visual Dictionary DC Comics was in the boxes and today we discover a first provisional cover of this book which will be accompanied by an exclusive minifigure.

That's all we know for the moment about this 128-page book in which will also be present the sets based on the film. The LEGO Batman Movie, we will have to wait a little longer to know which character will be provided.

The book is currently pre-order from amazon with a release date announced for September 6, 2018.

It is not yet known whether the French publisher Qilinn (Huginn & Munnin) will offer a French translation of this book within a reasonable time, which would have the merit of making it accessible to the youngest who do not yet master the language of Shakespeare.

I tend to think that this will be the case, Qilinn already offering the French versions of other works of the same type like The DC Comics Super Guide or even Encyplopedia of DC Comics Characters.

76105 LEGO Marvel The Hulkbuster: Ultron Edition

New announcement from LEGO with the official presentation of the set 76105 LEGO Marvel The Hulkbuster: Ultron Edition !

1363 pieces to assemble a 25 cm high figurine and a very original presentation stand, an exclusive Iron Man minifig as a bonus, here is finally a version of the Hulkbuster that deserves the honors of your shelves!

Public price for France: 139.99 €. Availability announced for March 3, 2018. This is a D2C set (Direct2Consumer) which will be offered exclusively (at the beginning at least) on the Shop @ Home and in the LEGO Stores.

Notice to followers of the conspiracy theory who would see in this set an inexpensive exploitation of the LEGO Ideas project "Hulkbuster UCS"from Raymond Chow who had reached 10.000 supporters in November 2016 before being rejected by LEGO in August 2017: the two models do not have much in common, and it is more than likely that when the project was rejected , LEGO was already working on the same topic for set 76105.

That being said, if you want to discover this Hulkbuster from all angles, the complete gallery of official visuals and the description of the contents of the box are online on Brick Heroes.
