    Possessed Lloyd is one of the better figs I've seen recently. Very dark and spooky. I wonder how he'd look with the wraith lower body?

    Does the Batmobile have a firing mechanism like the Green Lantern jet? Or is it manual? I'm very glad to hear about the set being good, even though two of the new figs (Harley, Beast Boy) are disappointing. How do the mascot clown's eyes move?
  3. 8BrickMario
    Those buttons are clever, but actually horrifying if he's put in context as a real monster. I still think he should have gotten a spare head with the crook's face on it, though.
  4. 8BrickMario
    Oh, I hadn't thought of that. Well, it's possible. (How many ghost dragons do they need, anyway?)

    The tail can rotate if it's attached to one of these:

    Agreed. Up until now, minidoll sets have been totally void of conflict. So what would be the purpose of minidoll DC sets? Hopefully, it'll be regular figs.

    Given the angle of the bone piece for the Cowler's tail, I would assume that it's attached with a tube w/hole to a bar plate like the one on the front that the head attaches to.

    It's grown on me a lot. I really love the cab section. I think the yellow wheels shouldn't have been included since there are literally no other yellow accents on the vehicle, so they sort of ruin the darker look. I also love how the spring-missiles are hidden in the front engine.

    Lloyd again? Remember the days when the focus was on Kai? Though the concept for the book is indeed interesting, the fig is boring by now. The build looks interesting, though.

    I'm a huge fan of this new wave. The Ghost Army is amazing (love those new ectoplasm lower bodies) and the Skreemers are fun. The Morro Dragon looks great, and so does the City of Stiix. I also need the Wu Dragon and Chain Cycle. That new polybag is nice, but the number of small ghost dragons is a bit annoying to me, as is Morro's exclusivity. (Yes, he comes in an Airjitzu set, but no cape.) I think the new ghostly hood used on possessed Lloyd is cool, and the whole spooky, vaguely Japanese aesthetic of the ghost forces is really well done. These guys are probably my favorite Ninjago villains, ever! Can I even express how jealous I am of Europe right now? I bet the New Elementary will love these sets!

    Why on Earth is LEGO making these movies? Trickster is definitely the fig we're getting, since it looked like a DVD fig. Would've preferred Cheetah, though. Mark Hamill's official last Joker role was Batman: Arkham City, so they probably want to keep it that way.

    Nevermind, too late to the party.

    Honestly, I love both! I couldn't care less about the fleshies and yellow-skinned figs mixing together, although it is frustrating when it comes to torsos showing skin. And I am amused by the Simpsons being yellow licensed figs and Vitruvius being a fleshy non-licensed (sort of) figure. I also love figures with irregular skin tones (sand green, trans-neon yellow, white, etc.). The big problem is that ever since Lando introduced a black figure among yellow figs, the image of yellow=white was there, and probably still exists. Since Lando, the yellow skin tone was reminiscent of the Simpsons, where yellow was a stand-in for a white skin tone as well. So I understand the switch to flesh, but it seems like it should have been anticipated to avoid the unfortunate connotations, since now it seems that yellow is not some sort of universal race without distinction. But yellow is iconic for LEGO, so I can't see it going anywhere.

    I agree. It looks like a mess, not nearly sleek or coordinated enough to be a Bat-vehicle. The one-seater Arctic Batboat looks much better to me. But I need that new Robin, and of course I need Deathstroke, so I'll still get it.
  15. 8BrickMario
    Well, a properly sized two-seater in any form would be nice. Just posting this here (credit goes to CapnRex101 of Brickset) for proof of the dual-molded legs.
  16. 8BrickMario
    Lobot and Alfred had side head printing. I wish they could have brought it back for Two-Face, Mr. Good and Evil, Deathstroke, and Ronin, It would make them all look better.
  17. 8BrickMario
    Oh yes! I love the Witch's expression there. Is she going to cast a spell? Or did she just spot Emmet using a portal gun to land on top of a building? I'm still disappointed that the LEGO Movie characters now have bendy limbs. I wish they kept them in the stop-motion style from the movie.
  18. 8BrickMario
    Here he is. Although it's possible that it's only a boss battle, I don't think it is.
  19. 8BrickMario
    Forgive my ignorance, but who does BBT refer to?
  20. 8BrickMario
    Riddler is definitely due for a ? cane, and that poster of him riding the Balrog in Dimensions suggests that he's playable. It makes sense that he'll have a Fun Pack, but if they gave him a proper cane mold, that would be an instant buy for me.
  21. 8BrickMario
    That's very odd and looks even less question-mark-like than the crowbars.
  22. 8BrickMario
    Wow. Beast Boy is probably the first fig I've seen who has two awful faces. Starfire is excellent, though.
  23. 8BrickMario
    Yes. There have been two previous Superman heads. One with a confident grin face and a serious face (2012), and one with the serious face and an angry heat-vision face (MoS, 2015). Aquaman does not seem to get a new head.
  24. 8BrickMario
    Take a look at the bells on the hat. That doesn't match. Also, the Jokerland Harley has a jingle-bell collar and a striped boot- a perfect match for the cover of the New 52 Harley Quinn #1. The hat is only there because of laziness and ignorance (or perhaps the hairpiece couldn't be finalized in time for the set).

    Alright. I've solved my problem with the hole in the jet. I simply altered the drone. I put trans-light-blue studs where the cheese slopes were, and moved the slopes down to where the Appbricks were. (Can't use them, anyway.) Now, I can push down on the drone and it will be properly dropped from the hole below it, since it fits through.
