Apparently the main story revolves around the villain stealing characters from different worlds (Frodo, Robin...) - that could be the reason why some of the main characters from all franchises are not playable in the first version of the game. If this becomes a hit, we will surely get Frodo, Lisa Simpson and Dorothy figurines.
Generally, to not include one of the franchises Lego has which is aimed at girls is a tad annoying. My daughter would love it, though she is already really happy that Harley Quinn will be playable, as she has a huge crush on her. Also, when we first heard about this, we were completely sure that Lego Friends would be included, and were so much looking forward to take Gollum to Heartlake City. I would be amused for hours if I just could throw fish at all the pink minifigures living there.
Just imagine how great it would be - you could have Batman sobbing at all the colours. Or even better, he could try to rid Heartlake City of crime! You know, helping kittens down from trees, or catch that puppy that stole all the tennis balls and buried them behind the hairdessers! Endless opportunities. And then Olivia, Stefanie, Mia and Emma could go for a picnic in Mordor.
The same with Lego elves. Come on, we all want to Legolas to go there and wonder what the hell these colourful beings are supposed to be, with Gimli chuckling all the way through.
Oh well, can't have it all, but I hope they see the light soon and start adding girls stuff. It doesn't even have to be pink.
