Today we're taking a look at the other exclusive minifigure expected this time in the Marvel universe: that of T'Chaka which will be included in the cover of the LEGO Marvel Secrets of the Avengers book to be released on June 4, 2026.

It's obviously a bit less sexy than the "Joker-ized" Batman that will be available in July 2026, but at least the character has the merit of existing in minifigure form. As always with Black Panther, LEGO makes no effort on the legs and simply provides us with a pair of black ones.

T'Chaka, who makes a full-length appearance in one of the deleted scenes from the film Black Panther, undoubtedly deserved better, even with a subtle print on his legs. And that's without even mentioning the need for continuity in the tunic, which clearly extends down his left thigh on screen.

The minifigure is still, in my opinion, a success, with superb printing on the mask that's quite faithful to the version seen on screen. The torso is also nicely executed with a pleasing level of detail while remaining true to LEGO's graphic style.

An amusing detail: the minifigure is placed in its slot with the horns facing forward. A small piece of the design is also missing from the crown that attaches to the character's head; LEGO could have added a gold line to ensure visual continuity between the two pieces. We know the manufacturer is skilled in this type of printing; the minifigure in the LEGO Marvel set 76047 Black Panther Pursuit benefited from it in 2016.

No pad-printed arms or heads with extra hair, the latter refinement being generally reserved for "classic" LEGO products.

As with the Batman figure in the LEGO DC Batman Adventures in Gotham City book , the figure is not protected on the front of the cover but it cannot be removed without tearing the cardboard insert that holds it in place.

I won't give you a rundown of what's inside the book; it's the usual format with lots of official images and some facts about the different figures listed. You can find a few sample pages on the product page on Amazon. It's in English, and we don't know yet if a French version will be released.

The 96-page book is already available for pre-order on Amazon for just over €18. I won't wait for its official release to order it, as we know these products sell out very quickly upon launch. Don't make the mistake of ordering the Kindle version, which will obviously be in digital format and without minifigures.

Note: The product shown here, provided by the publisher Dorling Kindersley , is, as usual, being given away. The deadline is May 23, 2026 at 23:59 PM. Simply leave a comment below the article to participate.

Today we get a closer look at the exclusive minifigure that will accompany the book entitled LEGO DC Batman Adventures in Gotham City , a book already available for pre-order at Amazon and due to be released on July 2, 2026.

As you already know, these books simply compile official images of the products in the relevant range, all wrapped up in a semblance of a story invented for the occasion, which serves as a common thread. This one, like all books of this kind, is in English; I'll let you discover some excerpts on the product page on Amazon.

More interestingly, this item includes a brand-new, exclusive minifigure, inserted as usual into the book's cover. Note that the packaging has changed, and the minifigure is no longer protected by plastic. It is therefore directly accessible through the designated window, so you should check that it hasn't been damaged during shipping or handling in the bookstore. Despite the absence of the usual plastic protection, it's impossible to remove the minifigure from the front; it's held in place by its internal packaging around the neck and feet.

One good point is that the cape comes in the classic LEGO packaging, so it is not creased or damaged when directly installed on the figure.

Here we have a Batman minifigure with a "Joker" makeover, somewhat reminiscent of the Joker's outfit in the Joker War arc and the merchandise sold by McFarlane Toys in their DC Multiverse collection . The printing is well done, and for those wondering, these minifigures are indeed made by LEGO and therefore benefit from the same level of technical quality as those sold in the standard sets.

It's a shame about the absence of the Joker's smile on the bat-symbol on the chest and about the plain legs which could have benefited from the presence of some patterns to make the outfit coherent and complete, but we'll make do with this budget version.

The included mask is the two-tone injected version, with yellow eyes in this case. That's great, as it avoids the unsightly yellow band across the figure's forehead and gives us a nice Joker face that can be used with the character's classic hairstyles.

Is this the Joker in a Batman outfit redesigned and adapted to his universe, or Batman disguised as the Joker? It's up to you to decide where this figure will fit in your collection.

This is a variant which in any case would have had difficulty finding its place in a classic set and collectors will no doubt be delighted to be able to obtain a figure which is not yet another version of an outfit already available en masse in the LEGO DC range.

The publisher of the book does not provide any accessories with the figurine, no green or purple Batarang.

The book is already available for pre-order on Amazon for just under €16. I won't wait for its official release to order it, as we know these products sell out very quickly upon launch. Don't make the mistake of ordering the Kindle version, which will obviously be in digital format and without minifigures.

The updated cover of the German version of the new LEGO NINJAGO Visual Dictionary , expected on October 1, 2026, reveals the secret: the exclusive minifigure that will accompany the book will be Zane in Titanium version.

The included minifigure will also appear prominently on the cover of this 144-page book. The outfit is a tribute to the one seen in the 2015 LEGO Dimensions sets 70748 Titanium Dragon and 71217 Zane Fun Pack .

This new Visual Dictionary is available for pre-order on Amazon:

Attention all collectors of the LEGO-style Minecraft universe, from October 6, 2026 they will have the opportunity to add an exclusive minifig to their collection via a 64-page book which will offer some fun activities.

LEGO Minecraft: Craft Your Quest will indeed allow you to obtain a new minifig confirmed as exclusive via the cover of the book, all accompanied by about forty pieces.

For those who might be wondering, the figure in question will therefore only be available via this product; it will not be delivered in this form in a future set.

There is, in fact, a difference between something new and something exclusive: many new minifigures are mistakenly presented as exclusive when they first appear in a LEGO product. At best, they are new until proven otherwise, and only time will tell if they are truly exclusive if LEGO doesn't release them in another product later.

This new box set is currently available for pre-order on Amazon, with an announced release date of October 8, 2026:

25,68 €

We now know the exclusive minifigure that will accompany the book entitled LEGO DC Batman Adventures in Gotham City to be released on July 2, 2026: it is a Batman figure in " jokerized " version loosely inspired by the version offered by the manufacturer McFarlane Toys in its DC Multiverse collection.

This variant of the character will always be welcome for collectors who are tired of accumulating classic versions of Batman; a little freshness and novelty doesn't hurt.

The book is already available for pre-order on Amazon for just under €16:
