This is thanks to an eBay seller (Click here) which also only sells the head that we discover in close-up which will serve as the head for MODOK (Mobile Organism Designed Only for Killing)...

This character will be delivered in the LEGO Marvel set 76018 Hulk Lab Smash along with the Hulk, Falcon, Taskmaster and Thor.

If you are in the Paris region, here is an appointment to note on your tablets: The city of Levallois is organizing a LEGO exhibition from December 14 to 29, 2013.

The event will take place in the halls of honor of the town hall. On the program, a Christmas village and a 100% LEGO city.

I don't know if these are MOCs offered by one or more LUGs or official LEGO products presented in the form of a giant advertisement for the Store next to the SO West shopping center. 

The site of the city of Levallois indicates in its presentation that "The LEGO Ambassadors will offer to join the big family of LEGO fans!".

It's not very clear: Are they LEGO employees, town hall employees dressed as LEGO employees or volunteer AFOLs who will present their creations?

If you know more about it, don't hesitate to mention it in the comments.

The exhibition will be open every day from 10 a.m. to 00 p.m. and on Thursday until 18 p.m. Free entry, it's free.

This one-page scan of the new 2014 catalog presents the various LEGO Marvel novelties expected for the first quarter.

No more speculation, we discover the 5 Marvel sets we have been talking about for weeks: 76014 Spider-Trike vs. Electro, 76015 Dock Ock Truck Heist (These two sets are reversed on the visual), 76016 Spider-Helicopter Rescue, 76017 Captain America vs. HYDRA et 76018 Hulk Lab Smash.

As for the minifigs, no surprises, the characters announced are all there: 

76014: Spider-Man, Electro.
76015: Spider-Man, Doc Ock, Truck Driver.

76017: Captain America (Error in the label of the minifig on the page), Red Skull, Hydra Henchman.
76018: Hulk, Falcon, Thor, Taskmaster, MODOK.

The high resolution visual is available on my flickr gallery.

We don't talk much about it here, it must be said that I am not a big fan of the Hero Factory range (my son loves this range), nor a nostalgic for the Bionicle range.

But the 2014 range of Hero Factory sets (8 sets) available next January brings its share of significant changes that are well worth a few lines: The announced sets will contain the usual robots, but they actually become exo-skeletons piloted by heroes that LEGO calls Mini-Robots grappling with villains who look like kaijus (who said Pacific Rim?).

Each Mini-Robot is made up of parts that we know well: The torso is actually a skeletal torso System, the head is a standard model covered with a helmet like on our regular minifigs and therefore the character's armor and helmet are compatible with regular minifigs, although the armor does not appear to fit perfectly on a standard minifig. So many pieces that will certainly interest MOCeurs and creators of space dioramas.

One question: This rapprochement with the range System will it be enough to convince some of you to buy Hero Factory in 2014?

You can find reviews of all the new Hero Factory Invasion From Below 2014 sets at Eurobricks (The photo above is from one of those reviews).

Below, the latest trailer for the 2014 line, Invasion from Below, uploaded by LEGO at the official dedicated website to the Hero Factory range.

Nothing to do with the LEGO news, or very far, but the trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is online and it's excellent!

The film, directed by Marc Webb, starring Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone and Jamie Foxx will be released in theaters on April 30, 2014.

No movie-based LEGO sets on the program, the three Spider-Man sets planned for 2014 are based on the Ultimate Spider-Man animated series (76014 Spider-trike vs. Electro, 76015 Dock Ock: Attack of the Truck et 76016 Rescue of the Spider-Heli).
