We learn a little more about the characters who will be present in the animated series Ultimate Spider-Man which will be broadcast in the USA by Disney XD. By extrapolation, we can hope that LEGO will offer us all these super heroes in the form of minifigs in the coming months, knowing that hope gives life and that the series will probably be very popular across the Atlantic.

We therefore find Spider-Man, Iron Fist and Doc Ock, all three already announced in the set 6873 Spiderman's Doc Ock Ambush. Also present in the series: Nick Fury, Nova, White Tiger, Power Man, Venom and Doom. Hopefully LEGO will produce several sets in the Ultimate Spider-Man sub-range ...

The minifigs of the three super heroes in the 6873 set are clearly inspired by the versions of these same characters in the series. Nick Fury's minifig in SHIELD battle gear featured on the LEGO poster for the movie The Avengers is different from the character of the animated series, shown in the visual below with her outfit seen at the cinema.

Okay, Series 7 is done. You have all seen what the minifigs in this series look like thanks to WhiteFang's review on Eurobricks. So let's move on to the next series: Series 8 ...

The only concrete information we have is the box presented at the New York Toy Fair 2012. The series 7 was also presented with a red box which corresponds to the bags that we have just discovered, so we can deduce without being too mistaken that the bags of the series 8 will be black, like the box presented during the living room.

Another lead, the LEGO Concept Designer Alexandre bourdon and his work on minifigs. If you look closely this board from his portfolio, you will see that many sketches that allowed him to get the job since 2010 have been materialized in the different series released to date. He was also at the origin of the Swamp Monster minifig from the new Monster Fighters range.

Obviously, we must be right and not draw too hasty conclusions, but we can legitimately hope that some concepts from these boards will emerge soon.

In short, we don't know much, but take the time to look at the boards he presents on his two portfolios, the answer may be in:

Alexandre Bourdon LEGO Application Portfolio 2010

Alexandre Bourdon LEGO Billund 2010

Note that Alexandre Bourdon agreed to submit to a little interview on Brickpirate. The answers to the questions asked are apparently being validated by his hierarchy before they are made public in the dedicated forum topic. Wait & See ....

Here is finally some information on the characters of the mystery set of the second wave LEGO Super Heroes: 6873 Spiderman's Doc Ock Ambush. The box will be identified Ultimate Spider-Man. We will therefore find Spider-Man, Doc Ock and Iron Fist, member of the New Avengers in Civil War and who also appears in the cartoon Ultimate Spider-Man whose distribution starts in the USA in April.

It is MTV (one wonders why anyway ...) which reveals this poster featuring the official poster of the Avengers movie but featuring the minifigs from the LEGO Super Heroes Marvel range. Artistically, it holds together, it's even rather successful. 

But the interest is elsewhere: It hides behind Black Widow: Nick Fury's minifigure makes its first appearance and seen from a distance, it looks successful. Finally, let's say that Samuel Jackson is successful. His submachine gun also besides ... On the other hand, we still do not know in which set this minifigure will be offered ...

For comparison, I refer you to Nick Fury's custom minifigure produced by Christo.

You will say that I insist, but in view of the quite relative enthusiasm aroused by the gray truck below, I hesitated to present this Imperial SandCrawler as its creator Nathan Tran calls it ... Don't look for this thing in the extended, or super-extended, or hyper-extended universe, it isn't. This machine is an extrapolation of what the SandCrawler could have given in an imperial version ...

Anyway, I find it rather nice this machine, with its forward cockpit, its large side doors that reveal an interior space that can accommodate an army of minifigs and its tracks .... In short, it's cute as everything, it's creative and the video visible on Youtube amused me for five minutes. Anyway, we are a little bored at the moment without preliminary photos, nor final visuals of the novelties of June. So we take care as we can ....

To go and waste five minutes of your time, it's on MOCpages space from Nathan Tran that it's happening.
