We already knew the LEGO Comic Builder (see this article), a simple and ergonomic tool to create in a few clicks (okay, a few dozen clicks) a comic strip with the super heroes of the DC Universe 2012 range.

The tool is full of options and it is really possible to produce a clean and efficient comic. You can save in pdf format, print, modify, etc ... your creations.Be careful, we get caught up quickly ...

Here is finally a first visual of the official minifigs of Hulk, Iron Man, Wolverine and Captain America (LEGO Super Heroes Marvel range) planned as indicated on the page of this catalog for April 2012.

Iron Man is similar to the minifigure presented at San Diego Comic Con in July 2011: The helmet is definitely too big. The screen printing is interesting, especially on the legs. The screen printing of the torso is different from that of the prototype and it's a shame ... it remains far behind Christo's. Note that the version presented here by LEGO is that of the Mark VI type armor seen in particular in Iron Man 2.

Captain America looks successful, his shield has a larger diameter than that of Christo's custom minifigure, from what we can deduce from this visual.

Wolverine is also sympathetic with his claws and interesting screenprinting on the face.

Hulk visual confirms the figurine also announced at the Comic Con, with a serigraphy which seems to me successful there too.

We also learn with this visual that the Marvel range will be entitled to a dedicated internet space as is already the case for the DC Universe range : MarvelSuperHeroes.LEGO.com. This space is not yet online at the time of this writing. We can bet that it will be in the coming weeks.

This is thanks to IG88 from the forum brickpirate that we discover this visual of the Santa Darth Maul planned for the set 9509 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar 2012.

At first glance, I must say that I cannot find this concept of Santa-character-from-Star-Wars very interesting in itself, but with this image, I almost come to appreciate this Darth Maul who takes the torso of the santa yoda of the set 7958 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar 2011.

The wink is nice because we already know that 2012 will be the year of Darth Maul: The packaging of the official Star Wars merchandise line is all dressed up with a visual of this character, TheEpisode I The Phantom Menace 3d spring in February and the horned Zabrak also miraculously returns in the animated series The Clone Wars ... (see this article).

This image was posted on FBTB. This would be a promotional poster for the LEGO LOTR line, and we can safely assume that other characters will be presented in the same way in the weeks to come.

We thus discover the minifigure of Aragorn with eyes still a little oversized and at the limit of the Japanese cartoon and presented here with Andúril, the sword forged from pieces of Narsil by the Elves of Rivendell.

I present this image to you next to the poster which visibly inspired this creation.

Here is the poster offered to Americans who pre-order at least one of the sets of the first Star Wars wave for 2012 on the LEGO Shop, as indicated in the catalog I was telling you about in this article.

A high definition visual has just been offered by grogall on EB. I already told you, I love the promotional posters of the Star Wars range and this one will soon have to join my collection, probably via eBay, this offer is not currently planned in France.

One regret with the visuals of the minifigs, I would have preferred real photos rather than these digital reproductions.
