Toy Fair 2012 Madness Part 3: Lego, Lego, Lego, Lego, My Little Pony
 |
?? Behold the Lego Avengers. Lego Hawkeye and Lego Cap make up for how terrible Lego Iron Man and Lego Hulk look, but just barely. Irritatingly, Lego gave out an exclusive Iron Man minifig with a regular-sized Lego head as his helmet, which looked 10,000 times better, but the actual release with be the encephalitic monster you see above. You can see the rest of the sets at Marvel.
? Want to see all the Lord of the Rings Lego sets? For real this time? In decent resolution? They’re here at From Bricks to Bothans. Lego is giving their horses articulation, so they can rear up. I cannot possibly explain how much that blows my mind.
? The Lego Batcave looks amazing. Gizmodo has a video of the special feature that lets you transform Bruce Wayne into Batman.

?? Lego Deadpool. That is all.
? Meanwhile, Lego’s Monster Fighters line is possibly the best thing Lego has ever put out, and I say that including everything that was just revealed. Seriously, if you look at one toy gallery today, let it be this one.
? A lot of you have taken me to task today for forgetting to include My Little Pony in the Hasbro Toy Fair write-up. My apologies, but I have no idea what’s new, other than the evil pony Nightmare Moon and DJ Pon-E. At any rate, I’d suggest checking out My Little Pony News for more pics and such.
