The newest poster for Iron Man has even more armor. Now LEGO must needs to make it all!

And the photo is down, so it's now a picture of Wonder Woman topless (but censored) The pic is on this blog danwyman.blogspot.com/2013/02/iron-man-heartbreaker.html among other places. The suit looks awesome and the LEGO fig barely does it justice.

Don't forget all the new Super Heroes figs!

Then again, maybe they'll go with the modern Venom. Either way, with these exclusives, it doesn't mean we won't get the characters, or a variation of them in future sets, like the Iron Man figure with the painted head.

The photo showed a white guy in the suit, so everyone assumed it was James Badge Dale, but reports now are saying it was just a stuntman, since Don Cheadle doesn't need to wear the suit when the helmet is down: [Latino Review]

Very nice. Absoulutely looks like something Tony Stark would fly. I like how well you matched the color scheme between the suit and the jet.

The biggest omissions from the Marvel sets for me are the SHIELD agents. Coulson, Fury and Maria Hill all have significant enough parts that it'd be nice to see them in Lego form. I'm going to hold out hope for a Millennium Falcon/Malevolence size Helicarrier set.

I have trouble believing Lego would make a special piece just for a exclusive promo, so hopefully some variation of this Lex, or at least the armor, will appear in another set soon.

Nice. Very clearly two suits for Iron Man, and Hawkeye has a double-sided head (and I'm guess most of the other figs do as well, excepting Cap).

I think it's because Fury was one of the characters mentioned in Lego's press release.

I agree! I guessing the Spider-man set will be similar. It might even be a lot like this set. That also might be a good reason for Lego to include Nick Fury in the Spider-Man set, because Fury wasn't in any of the Spider-Man movies, his presence in the Lego set would make it clear the set is based on the comics, just like Magneto in the Wolverine set makes it clear that this not from the Wolverine movie, even though to the average kid, it totally is.

Actually, the suit with the round chest RT shown in the newest trailer looks to be a completely new suit. It looks like it has some sort of jetpack on the back. There are some screen caps here. Iron Man had 3 different armors in each movie. In the first Iron Man film, he had the original Mark I, the silver Mark II prototype (that was stolen and turned into War Machine), the Mark III that was damaged in the final battle. In Iron Man 2, he started with the Mark IV, an upgraded version of the Mark II, then had the Mark V suitcase armor (probably destroyed by Whiplash), and finally the Mark VI with the triangular chest piece. These toy images show he'll make a new suit for the Avengers. I wouldn't be surprised to see Fury in the Spider-Man set. After all, the Ultimate (Sam Jackson) version of Fury appeared frequently in the Ultimate Spider-man comics, and looks like he'll be the new TV show as well.

Also, considering that we just got pics from the LOTR and Star Wars summer sets, this doesn't seem too strange, though I expect us to see the Marvel sets almost any day now.

Well, considering 'The Hobbit' is supposed to be a lot lighter than the 'Lord of the Rings' films, sets based off that seem logical. As for 'Lord of the Rings', I don't buy the argument that the tone is too "dark" for LEGO. Heck, you can argue that they did a set of "The Dark Knight" and they'll probably do some for "The Dark Knight Rises" in the superhero line, and those films are darker than LOTR. In the minifig line, we've seen Lego create things like elves and a variety of weapons that were the biggest obstacle I saw to a LOTR line. I would think that a license tie-in would be a good way for Lego to increase the popularity of a Castle line, which doesn't seem to be doing all that well, at least in my area. That said, I'm not going to get my hopes up for this.

Well, it looks to me like this X-wing redesign corrects a bunch of 6212's problems (and for the record, I didn't really have a problem with that set, though it does look pretty dated compared to more recent models). Just based off this prelim, the engines and cannons seem to be more accurate and the wings close tighter. The nose length seems to be shortened, which was badly needed. Ironically, the detail about 6212 that bugged me was the nose cone, and I can't tell from this image if that has been changed or not. This whole redesign reminds me of the ARC-170, which only changed slightly in terms of outward appearance, but had some more significant changes that weren't visible. And while I'd have loved if it came with Wedge, that probably would be too similar to 6212. I'm glad to see the Jedi Interceptor has been adapted to fit an R2 unit on the wing. It seems a little bulky compared to the previous version, but I'll wait until I see a sharper picture.
