Looks like LEGO factories are full of security holes. General Cryptor minifigures from the 2014 LEGO Ninjago line have been showing up on eBay in the past week or so (likely escapees from the LEGO factory in Mexico), and now another interesting minifigure leaked; Batgirl from the upcoming 2014 LEGO Super Heroes DC Universe series, shared by BrickLink member votvic from the Czech Republic (another place LEGO has a large factory). 🙂
Here is a picture of the LEGO Batgirl minifigure. As you can see she got a unique headpiece, which shows her hair flowing out of her mask. She comes with a double sided head, and her torso is printed both on the front and back. Her legs are plain black. Her cape appears to be missing. This version of Batgirl is obviously based on the new 52 Batgirl from DC Comics, as she looks exactly like on the cover of the comic-book.
It’s about time LEGO made an official minifig of Batgirl! She was actually released as a microfigure in the #50003 Batman Game from the LEGO Games series, but the game was later canceled. She also appears in the LEGO Batman video-games. In LEGO Batman 2 she is fairly close to the new minifigure version.
Batgirl will most likely appear in the #76013 LEGO Super Heroes Joker Steam Roller set scheduled to be released next year. For your reference here is the list of LEGO Super Heroes DC sets coming in 2014 as we discussed in 2014 LEGO Sets News & Rumors…
- #76010 LEGO Super Heroes The Penguin Face Off (with Batman, the Penguin, and 2 Robot Penguin Henchmen)
- #76011 LEGO Super Heroes Man-Bat Attack (with Batman, Robin, and Man-Bat)
- #76012 LEGO Super Heroes The Riddler Chase (with Batman, the Riddler, and the Flash)
- #76013 LEGO Super Heroes The Joker Steam Roller (with Batman, the Joker, and 3 other minifigs)
So, what do you think of the new LEGO Batgirl minifigure? Do you like her new headpiece and printing? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section below! And for currently available LEGO DC Super Heroes sets check out the Online LEGO Shop.
I hope you enjoyed this article. My name is HP and I’m a TFOL (Teen-Fan-of-LEGO). This is my fourth article here at theBrickBlogger. You can read my previous posts; LEGO Building Technique: Forced-Perspective, 2013 LEGO Polybag Sets for Your Collection, and A New Generation of LEGO Mindstorms! Thanks for reading! 😀
Thanks admin! Just curious, when you’ll upload the post about Asian LUGs?
HP, it will be sometimes next week. Don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten about it, but there has been so much news I needed to cover and also so many contributor submissions, I have to juggle them and put them in order the best I can. There is never any shortage of LEGO related topics! Which is of course a good thing! 😀
Awesome looking minifigure! I’ve been playing Injustice: Gods Among Us for a while now, and I must say it looks fairly accurate…Well, the Injustice version has a higher, wider insignia that it forms shoulder pads, the belt has another logo, she has a black cape and her gloves are black. But then again, this version is based on the New 52 minifigure, so I get it. But still no purple cape?
Also, HP, I must ask-You still don’t plan to have a Contributor’s page do you? Also, admin, could you give a list of contributors without a page? Thanks.
Finally HP, I know you still want that Build Your World article. However, here’s a to-do list of stuff I have to do before I can start:
-Finish chapter 4 of my Novel.
-Get the media (such as vouchers, letters,etc.) from my aunt.
-Upload all the pictures I took to Flickr.
-Get my new blog about polybags going.
-Finish uploading Cars 2 Designer Videos to YouTube.
-Finish writing post about my Polybag haul.
-Finish writing post about LEGO Digital Designer.
That’s about it for now. I know it’s a long list, but I’ll get it out eventually. Besides, HP, you could write a bit about your experience…
I forgot to add this in the last comment: Batman in all sets? Why?! This theme is called DC Superheroes, not Batman and Friends. Sigh…I’m just hoping they’ll eventually release someone cool like Deathstroke, New 52 Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Blue Beetle, Booster Gold, Swamp-Thing, Solomon Grundy, Zantanna, Captain Marvel or Black Adam. Or someone that not many have ever heard about, like Sodam-Yat, Saint Walker, Atrocitus, Larfleeze, William Hand…Oh wait, I’m just naming Green Lantern characters…
Well she looks rather cool 😀
And fikko, I subscribed to your channel ages ago but I don’t think I ever told you-saw you’ve just uploaded some more stuff so it reminded me to tell you 😉
Fikko, you mean a separate page with just a list of contributors and a link to their main page? I could do that, but the drop-down list is alread there from the top navigation-bar. Please note that we actually have a lot more contributors that the ones who have their own pages. Many-many people just wrote one or two articles, or never had a desire to set up a contributor’s page. 😉
Yeah, maybe you could add in that drop-down “Other Contributors” or if you’re feeling poetic “Unsung Contributors”. There, maybe you could list everybody who has ever written an article and what articles.
Hm… that’s a good idea. I can do that. Would have to go through over 800 posts thought to find them all. 🙄
Fikko, but how does one set up this “contributor’s page”? Hmmm?
I’ve been thinking about writing my little story or not for awhile now, and it seems that maybe a couple more weeks before you get yours up, maybe i should write one….
Btw, interested in the mini Volkswagen camper van polybag? I’ve got a couple 😀
HP, you can set up your contributors page the same way as any post; send it to me and I will publish it. Make sure you include some pictures as well. It will be your page, so it is your responsibility (and fun) to take care of questions/comments on that page. 😉
YES! HP! VW sounds great! Still sealed, right? Where did you get ’em? Nevertheless, expect a PM from me shortly…
i’m waiting fikko….
cool minifig! I like marvel better though 🙁
Admin, are there any pictures of the new hobbit sets yet?
Not yet. LEGO is keeping them under tight wraps.
Cool minifigure. But I agree with ninja of stealth, I like Marvel more. My favorite theme is City though.
Does anyone else want to do a post on the other two 2014 minifigure images? If not, I can put one together pretty quickly. If someone does want to, I don’t care.
I have just obtained images of the Star Wars 2014 first wave sets. They have watermarks on them so I cannot upload them, but if you have any questions about them just ask me and I’ll describe them in some detail.
All right! So what are they? Set numbers? Names? 🙂
What does General Grievous’ Wheel Bike look like? Did Chewbacca get redone? Anyway, how did you obtain them?
I got them off another blog where they have since been taken down, but I have them saved on my computer. 75038 Jedi Interceptor (Anakin’s yellow, almost identical to the one from 9494 Anakin’s Jedi Interceptor but in yellow with new missile shooter, Anakin and R2-D2), 75039 V-Wing Fighter (similar to the last Imperial one, but in the Republic dark red and grey with new missile shooter, new clone pilot and an astromech), 75040 General Grevious’ Wheel Bike (completely redesigned wheel bike that converts from bike to walker, wheel has very nice brick-build tread, several blasters and a flick missile, includes General Grevious and Obi-Wan Kenobi with weapons), 75041 Vulture Droid, (slightly new design with new missile shooter and redesigned Buzz Droid, along with a Battle Droid Pilot and another minifigure I can’t make out). I have pics of more sets, I’ll describe them soon. It appears Chewbacca has been redone with tan highlights but I don’t know for sure. It appears that we are also getting Tarful, but I am not positive.
I just saw something on the comic cover, she looks really evil! 🙄
Check Toys R Us for Superhero Polybags. The one near me has the Iron Man, Robin, and Krang bags.
i like the new lego batgirl figure but that pic of her should hav her in her cape and also if anybody who knows her name is barbra that they should make a minifigure for barbra but other than that the figure is amazing
