Comic-Con LEGO Super Heroes minifigs!

by Thita (admin) on July 25, 2013

Continuing news with LEGO goodness from the recent San Diego Comic-Con, let’s look at the exclusive LEGO Super Heroes minifigs given out this year! You might remember that last year LEGO gave away four unique LEGO Super Heroes minifigs at the convention to lucky raffle-winners in very limited numbers (see: 2012 Comic-Con Exclusive LEGO Super Heroes).

This year LEGO continued the tradition with four more exclusive LEGO Super Heroes minifigs. Two Marvel Super Heroes were given out the first and second day of the convention – 200 of each: an alternate suit Spider-Man and Spider-Woman. And on the third and last day of Comic-Con two DC Universe minifigures were given away – 350 each: Green Arrow and Black Suit Superman. Look at all the awesome detailing! 🙂

Here you can see the exclusive LEGO Super Heroes Spider-Man and Spider-Woman in their really nice packaging. LEGO has made previous versions of Spider-Man (including the Comic-Con exclusive from last year: Black Suit Spider-Man), but this is the first time we get Spider-Woman!

And here are the exclusive LEGO Super Heroes Green Arrow and Black Suit Superman. This is the first time we get a Green Arrow minifig – hopefully he will also appear in a regular LEGO set in the future.

As you can imagine the LEGO Comic-Con Super Heroes minifigures are highly collectible. With such small numbers released collectors are willing to shell out quite a bit money. If you would like to get them for your collection, eBay is your best friend. The minifigs are going for about $500 each, but you may luck out and able to get them for less! Here are the eBay links:

LEGO Chima animals & footprints…

There are a couple of quite unusual LEGO Legends of Chima videos on Cartoon Network. They are basically clever advertisements for the TV series made to look like nature documentaries, and they are pretty fun to watch. Check them out below. 🙂

The first video features Chima Animal Expert, Chase Blackstone, on the trail of the legendary, rather elusive LEGO animals of Chima, who have been dismissed as a hoax. Chase shares that he has been labeled a charlatan, but he continues his search for the creatures who – according to legends – walk upright, are smarter, and use technology. The video kind of reminds me of those guys searching for bigfoot. 🙄

The second Chima video sounds like a David Attenborough nature documentary: “In the world’s most remote wilderness – from the Amazon Rainforest to the African Plains – legend tells of an advanced species of animal; beast-like creatures that walk on two legs, use sophisticated technology, and made entirely of LEGO bricks. LEGO animals may number in the thousands, or they could be as few as 32. Ancient cave-drawings tell of such creatures. Sightings of the LEGO animal have been rare, and the stories the stuff of legend… until now…”

The connection between real creatures of nature (even extinct and legendary ones) and the world of LEGO Chima sounds a bit forced and awkward, but it is an interesting idea. What do you think? How do you like the LEGO Chima nature videos? Do you wish there would be advanced animals like in Chima in real life? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section below! 😉
