LEGO Marvel Avengers: Wendigo

As usual with LEGO video games, the teasing is in full swing a few months before the release of the next LEGO Marvel Avengers with new characters unveiled regularly.

We know that almost the entire cast of films from Marvel Cinematic Universe released so far will be present in this game expected at the end of January 2016 and because amateurs must be given their dose of fan service, TT Games announces a slew of playable second knives on social networks.

So here are the characters presented lately with top to bottom and left to right: Wendigo, Mantis, Korvac, Skaar, Devil Dinosaur & Moon Boy, Fing Fang Foom, Crimson Dynamo, Agent Carter, Squirrel Girl and Beta Ray Bill.

This is obviously only a small part of the overall cast of the game which will offer nearly 250 characters in total.

It's been a long time since you understood that digital versions of these characters don't promise to see them ever hit the shelves of your favorite toy store.

As for the minifigs planned to accompany the release of the game, it will be necessary to be satisfied with the version Silver Centurion from Iron Man, available in a special edition of the game available pre-order at amazon.de.

Paused during the launch phase of the LEGO Dimensions video game, the promo of the LEGO Marvel's Avengers game expected for January 2016 is resumed with a new panel that just took place at New York Comic Con.

As usual with this type of game, it is the fan service that takes the upper hand with many playable characters announced including Agent Carter (in black and white), Phil Coulson, Jessica Jones, Devil Dinosaur, Moonboy, Agent M ( Ryan Penagos, Executive Editorial Director at Marvel), Harley Keener and his Patator (The kid from Iron Man 3),  Iron pig, Thanos and his Thanoscope, The Collector, Daredevil (But not the version of the Netflix TV series deemed too violent), Iron Man Mark XXXVIII (Igor), etc ...

No DLC for this game has yet been announced and it has been confirmed that there will be no Marvel Stable characters in the LEGO Dimensions game "in the near future".

The panel was also an opportunity to clarify rumors relating to the post-credits sequence of the LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham video game that some had interpreted as a teaser of a possible Crossovers Marvel / DC Comics in an upcoming game. It isn't, it was just a teaser for the LEGO Marvel's Avengers game.

The game will allow you to relive the events of most of the films of the Cinematic Universe Marvel released to date:

La special Edition of the game accompanied by the exclusive iron man minifigure in Silver Centurion is available in preorder at amazon Germany.

Below, the new trailer for the game (in French).

marvel studios phase 3

Disney (Marvel) is coming to communicate the new release schedule for Phase III films of the Cinematic Universe of the franchise.

After the success in theaters of Ant-Man, Marvel has therefore decided to bring back to the fore the ant-man (Scott Lang) who will be accompanied by Wasp (Hope Van Dyne) in a film scheduled for July 6, 2018.

Spider-Man's return to the Cinematic Universe developed by Marvel Studios had already upset the planned schedule.

For the rest, all the dates are below, with three untitled films slated for 2020, about which it is not yet confirmed if they are new films or if these dates are blocked for a possible delay of the two parts ofAvengers: Infinity War and D'Inhuman.

Hoping that LEGO follows suit and continues to accompany each outing with at least one set ...

LEGO Mighty Micros 2016

We can finally put a name on the range "Racers"DC Comics and Marvel rumors have been telling us for several weeks: It will in fact be a mini range of six boxes sold for 9.99 € (Three DC Comics boxes and three Marvel boxes) and which will be marketed under the name Mighty Pickups.

From what I have been able to see for the moment, the minifigs which accompany the mini vehicles will be quite complete (head, torso, legs) but it seems that the legs are those usually used by LEGO on the minifigs representing children ( or hobbits), that is to say those shorter and without joints.

Below, the list of planned sets:

LEGO DC Comics:

  • 76061 Mighty Micros: Batman vs Catwoman
  • 76062 Mighty Micros: Robin vs Bane
  • 76063 Mighty Micros: The Flash vs Captain Cold

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes:

  • 76064 Mighty Micros: Spiderman vs Green Goblin
  • 76065 Mighty Micros: Captain America vs Red Skull
  • 76066 Mighty Micros: Hulk vs Ultron

As for the mini vehicles, it's compact and very minimalist:

76061: Batman has a black and yellow mini-Batmobile equipped with a grapple launcher, Catwoman walks in a black and purple mini-kart with a cat tail on the back. In the box, a carton of milk, a diamond, a batarang.

76062: Bane has a vehicle with a conical drilling attachment in the front, Robin drives a red and green mini-kart. Robin is equipped with a red grapple launcher.

76063: Captain Cold drives a blue snow plow with a yellow surfboard on the front as an accessory to push snow, Flash drives a red mini-kart with flames coming out of the rear exhausts. In the box, an ice cream cone with scoops (white) and a "cooling" gun for Captain Cold.

76064: Green Goblin drives a green and orange rolling contraption fitted with two wings on the sides, Spider-Man's mini-kart is blue and red and it is also a mini-helicopter with one propeller and two flick fire missiles. In the box, a green vial, a pad-printed pumpkin (head).

76065: Red Skull flies a black and red craft with integrated detachable missile and Captain America drives what looks from a distance like a mini version of the Hydra craft seen in set 76017 Captain America vs. Hydra. In the box, Captain America's shield and a translucent cube for Red Skull.

76066: Ultron has a red and gray mini-kart, Hulk has a white and purple quad with two oversized green hands (those of the maxifig already available) in the front. Ultron throws an adjustable wrench (!) At Hulk. Hulk throws a chicken thigh (!!) at Ultron.

Another sachet that will have to be obtained on the secondary market (eBay ou bricklink): The polybag above, containing a Hulk minifigure in version Avengers: Age of Ultron, a quad and a sheet of stickers featuring the Avengers, SHIELD and HYDRA will be exclusive to the Toys R Us chain of stores across the Atlantic (USA and Canada).
