LEGO Super Heroes Marvel - Hulk Polybag

This is the first visual of this promotional bag (5000022) which contains a classic minifig representing the Hulk. The minifig is nice, and it will delight all those who are a little disappointed with the large minifigure that LEGO provides us in the set 6868 Hulk's Helicarrier Breakout.

Still no information on the availability in France of this bag, but we already know that it will be offered from May 16 to 31 in Germany and Great Britain for 55 € of purchases. this offer should therefore logically take place with us on the same dates. If in doubt, do not rush to bricklink where the sachet has already made a brief appearance before disappearing ...

LEGO Super Heroes Marvel - 4529 Iron Man, 4530 Hulk & 4597 Captain America Combi Models

Le mini-site dedicated to the LEGO Super Heroes Marvel range has evolved slightly, but not enough to whip a cat. On the other hand, fans of Hero Factory type figurines will find there some pdf files allowing to mix the parts of the 3 sets of the Marvel range (4529 Iron Man, 4530 Hulk & 4597 Captain America) to compose improbable but rather successful super heroes.

LEGO also has instructions for assembling alternate versions of each superhero.

Fans of the Hero Factory range are already familiar with this possibility of mixing two figures to create a more powerful super-character. 

The files to make these combi-heroes are available for download below:

4529 Iron Man - Alternate Model
4529 Iron Man - Combi Model
4530 Hulk - Alternate Model
4530 Hulk - Combi Model
4597 Captain America - Alternate Model
4597 Captain America - Combi Model

Iron Man by Legohaulic

Legohaulic had a genius idea: If Iron Man's helmet is definitely too big for a classic minifigure, it worked backwards by starting from it and fitting the rest of the body. 

The result: A better-proportioned action figure, a super-inspired, superbly staged sort of action figure.

As usual, remember to take a look at the flickr gallery from Legohaulic, there are pretty things.

Back to the Future (BTTF) - DeLorean Time Machine

It was on track, and the case was just folded in a few hours: M.togami's Back To The Future project has just reached 10.000 supporters and is therefore taking the next step, just like Eve Online's Rifter Project which also reached the objective a few days ago and of which I still wonder how this ship, correct MOC but which is not great, could generate so much buzz ...

What will be the excuse given by LEGO for refusing to produce the DeLorean: Rights Issue with Robert Zemeckis, Steven Spielberg and Bob Gale? Films too old to attract a clientele of young people between the ages of 6 and 11?

The Back To The Future saga has a large base of fans who have seen or replayed the three films released between 1985 and 1990 in a loop. The youngest will discover the adventures of Doc and Marty on M6 which rebroadcasts them regularly on Sunday evening. But that will probably not be enough to convince LEGO to produce a set on this theme.

The next projects best placed in the race for 10.000 supporters should also meet with a refusal on the part of LEGO: Zelda, LEGO won't produce a whole range of new accessories just for a set, StormTroopers' bucket would cost customers too much, the project My Little Pony is a big joke and the Modular Western Town is still the one that has the most chances of seeing the light of day in the form of a set, undoubtedly to please the real AFOLs who have softly mobilized to support it ... But my little finger tell me that it will not stay big something modular in the version possibly produced by LEGO (Maybe something in the style of the 10230 Mini Modulars ? ) ....
