LEGO brickfilm with live action!

I have recently found a really interesting LEGO brickfilm that mixes live action and LEGO CGI animation. This is the first time I have seen such an unusual mix, and I have to say that the film is very creative, well done, and really fun to watch. Take a look below for  yourself. 🙂

AndrewMFilms LEGO BrickFilm

This LEGO brickfilm is called LEGO Invasion! and is directed by Andrew McMurry from AndrewMFilms, starring Spencer Waldner as the human character. He interacts with a bunch of CGI animated LEGO minifigs as the badguys. Or maybe I have it all wrong and Spencer is the badguy and the minifigs try to stop him? In either way, Spencer acquires a briefcase-full of golden LEGO bricks with magical powers and the minifigs are after him…

Awesome, isn’t it? The scenes between the live action and the CGI animation flow quite seamlessly. I hope that LEGO brickfilmers will continue exploring the possibilities with such mixed-media methods. The potential is pretty much endless!

2014 LEGO Super Heroes Batman sets

This kind of flew under the radar, but a couple of the 2014 LEGO Super Heroes Batman sets are now available. Both of them are small sets, so they won’t break the bank, but they contain some iconic characters that are worth adding to your LEGO Super Heroes collection. So let’s check them out! 🙂

LEGO Super Heroes Batman Flash Minifigure

#76011 LEGO SUPER HEROES BATMAN MAN-BAT ATTACK: Join the fight as Batman battles to save Nightwing from Man-Bat! As Nightwing patrols Gotham City in his glider, he spots Man-Bat planting some dynamite! Strap BatmanT into the ultra-fast Batcopter, fire up the powerful engine and zoom over to help his friend foil Man-Bat’s attack on the city. And if Nightwing gets into trouble, lower the Batcopter’s working winch and hook and tow the glider to safety. Includes Batman, Nightwing and Man-Bat minifigures with assorted weapons. 184 pieces. Price: $19.99 – BUY HERE

#76011 LEGO Super Heroes Batman Box

We haven’t seen Nightwing since 2006 in the #7785 LEGO Batman Arkham Asylum set, so he is definitely a collectible minifig. And Man-Bat is a first. He looks quite like the Collectible Minifigure Series 8 Vampire Bat, and the Bat Monster from the #9468 LEGO Monster Fighters Vampyre Castle. So now we have three different colors of evil LEGO bats for some serious fright; reddish-brown, dark-brown, and black. 😈

#76011 LEGO Super Heroes Batman

#76012 LEGO BATMAN THE RIDDLER CHASE: Pursue The Riddler’s Dragster and call in The Flash to catch him! The Riddler has robbed the Gotham City bank and is getting away in his ultra-fast dragster. Pursue him with Batman in his sleek new Batmobile, but watch out for the bombs being dropped by the dragster. If The Riddler manages to get away, call in help from The Flash, The Fastest Man Alive! Will he arrive in time to save the day? Only you can decide! Includes 3 minifigures with assorted weapons and an accessory: never-before-seen Batman (with new suit) and The Flash, and The Riddler. 304 pieces. Price: $29.99 – BUY HERE 

#76012 LEGO Super Heroes Batman Box

The most exciting character in this set is of course The Flash; first time in LEGO’s history! And Batman has a new suit – this time in gray (“very-very dark gray” – as he said in The LEGO Movie trailer). Plus this version of the Batmobile is quite sweet and the flick-fire missiles are placed in a reasonable angle for shooting. And the dragster looks decent too.

#76012 LEGO Super Heroes Batman

If you are interested in either of these LEGO Super Heroes Batman sets they should be available by now at all LEGO retailers as well as at the Online LEGO Shop.
