Cool Minifigure of the Week: Superman

I know the Cool Minifigure of the Week posts have been very Super Hero Heavy, but the heart wants what the heart wants, right?  This Superman Minifig is great, I love the classic look and the new hairpiece made especially for the Man of Steel.  He is included in set 6862 - Superman Vs. Power Armor Lex.  The set also includes Wonder Woman and Lex Luthor Minifigures.  Here is the link if you would like to pick one up on Amazon.com.

Note: This is the first picture I have taken in my new photo booth set up.  Not bad, eh?

New Superman LEGO Sets

This summer a new Superman movie is being released called Man of Steel.  It come out on June 14th, but before that three new LEGO sets based on the movie are coming out.  We have found pics of the boxes and they look pretty rad.

76003 - Superman: Battle of Smallville - 418 Pieces - $49.99 MSRP
Minifigures included: Superman, Colonel Hardy, General Zod, Faora and Tor-An

76009 - Superman: Black Zero Escape - 168 Pieces - $19.99 MSRP
Minifigures included: Superman, General Zod, Lois Lane

76002 - Superman: Metropolis Showdown - 119 Pieces - $12.99 MSRP
Minifigures Included: Superman, General Zod 

Being the Minifigure collector that I am, I will probably pick up the largest set and just try and find Lois Lane somewhere on the secondary market.  Why does General Zod come in all three sets? I have no clue.

The many faces of Batman

Over the years LEGO has made a ton of different Batman Minifigures.  Flickr user Vanjay is not only lucky enough to own every version but also was kind enough to take a cool pic.

Vanjey_Lego has a lot of other collections of Minifigures on their Flickr stream.  Head over and check out Spongebob, Jack Sparrow, Monster Fighters and many more.

Cool Minifigure of the Week - Bane

This modern era Bane Minifigure is from LEGO Set 76001 - The Bat vs. Bane: Tumbler Chase.  He is fashioned after the Bane from The Dark Knight Rises.  So cool...

The set is available on Amazon for $39.97 with Free Shipping. 76001 also includes a Batman minifig as well as Commissioner Gordon in SWAT gear.  Click here if you want to pick up this great set.
