9493 X-Wing Starfighter

Well, the title is undoubtedly a bit touting, and we only see a few seconds the X-Wing of the 2012 set 9493 X-Wing Starfighter.

But this LEGO Build Together video is constructed well enough that I urge you to waste 30 seconds of your day.

Here are close-up photos of three minifigs that we will be entitled to in 2012. To find out where they come from, read this article on Brick Heroes.

C-3PO - 9490 Droid Escape

This minifig of C-3PO will be available in the set 9490 Droid Escape. The screen printing is really successful, and C-3PO is everything in visible cables after landing the escape pod on Tatooine.

9491 Geonosian Cannon

Here is the Geonosian Zombie, and the Geonosian Warrior that will be delivered in the set 9491 Geonosian Cannon. Once again, the silkscreen is exceptional, These two minifigs are superb and they will take the pill out of the wacky cannon of this set.

Note that the Warrior is not new, we already had it in 2011 in the set 7959 Geonosian Starfighter.

Definitely, Mexico is AFOL's paradise: Again a mexican seller which offers many minifigs on eBay among which those below belonging to the Superheroes 2012 range and which should not be available until next January. We can say what we want, but Mexico, I already like it .....

More seriously, we thus discover in detail some key minifigs of this new range.

Batman - 6860 Batcave

Here is the Batman that will be delivered in the set 6860 Batcave. The minifig is unpublished is in the spirit of the one released in 2007 in the sets 7786 et 7787. It matches the costume of Batman in the animated series Batman The Brave and the Bold broadcast in the USA since 2008 and in France since 2009 under the title Batman Alliance of Heroes.

This version of the costume faithful to the comic version of the 70s is available in the game Batman Arkham City.

Robin - 6860 Batcave

Above Robin's minifigure which will also be distributed in set 6860 Batcave. This is Jason Peter Todd, the second Robin to assist Batman in his fight against crime. In short, he died and then rose again. Or it is also about Tim Drake or Dick Grayson, in short we do not know anything, all the versions contradict each other.

This version of the costume is the one available as Tim Drake Robin Pack  alternative in the game Batman Arkham City.

Batman - 6863 Batman vs. The Joker

This version of Batman will at least be delivered in the set 6863 Batman vs. The Joker and in video games Lego batman 2, difficult to confirm for other sets, the visuals are of poor quality. 

LEGO Superheroes 2012 - The Riddler

The mysterious Riddler minifigure will not be in a set from the first wave of sets. The color of the hat leaves me doubtful. I've always known the Riddler with a green hat in the comic book version. but it exists other toys where the Riddler is shown with a gray hat adorned with a purple question mark.
