Here is finally the long awaited minifig of Pong Krell, which will be delivered in the set LEGO Star Wars 75004 Z-95 Headhunter. 

It's a good surprise: The result is quite convincing despite the fears one might have had about LEGO's interpretation of this character with unusual anatomy.

Below, a photo of a few Clones and other Troopers from the 2013 range including the 501st Clone Pilot from set 75004 (3rd from the left).

LEGO recently decided to provide a preview of its novelties to some iconic sites in the LEGO community so that they can publish reviews which in some cases take more the form of disguised advertisements than real reviews for sets in Questions. 

However, this is a unique opportunity for all those who want to see more before deciding to invest in the new ranges to discover these sets from every angle. As for the opinions, the criticisms are light, probably not to offend anyone ...

To read here or there:
La review of the 79010 The Goblin King Battle set from Brickset, for whom everything is fantastic except the fact that Gandalf's minifigure is identical to the one in the set 9469 Gandalf Arrives from the Lord of the Rings range.
La review of the 79003 An Unexpected Gathering set from The Brothers Brick which qualifies it as the best set of all time ...
La review of the set 79001 Escape from Mirkwood Spiders still at The Brothers Brick who on the other hand recommends waiting for a promotion to buy this box because of a content considered uninteresting.

2013 will definitely be a year where insects and animals of all kinds will be in the spotlight.

After Legends of Chima and its menagerie, the range Galaxy squad will therefore feature nasty insects against which some brave cosmonauts will fight. These two minifigs from this new range can already be found on eBay, it's up to you to see if you are convinced by these insects ...

As a reminder, here is the list of sets planned for early 2013, which will be followed by a second wave later in the year:

70700 Space Swarmer
70701 Swarm Interceptor
70702 Warp Stinger
70703 Space Mantis
70704 Vermin Vaporizer
70705 Bug Obliviator
30230 Galaxy Walker

This year, it's laborious when it comes to the new series of collectible minifigs.

Leaks are rare and while the members of the LEGO Community Team have confirmed having received the first boxes of the series 9, we are still at 3 visuals only of which this Chicken Suit Guy which appeared today on Brickset, various forums and on flickr. (The other two known minifigs: Alien trooper - Dr Splitz)

If the plastic minifigure conforms to this drawing published in the last LEGO Club Magazine Friends Edition British, so she shouldn't have arms. These would be replaced by wing-shaped limbs. Let's just hope that these wings will be equipped with a clip allowing to fix a weapon or any tool ...
