    Or just send the Goblin CMF to their house so it can do it itself! But that's the problem, isn't it? With no news, it's hard to find something else to discuss besides Raven or how awful the new Harley minifigure is without hair. Right now, there's nothing about the sets themselves to discuss.

    I imagine they'll find some way to make him, though. He's an important foe of Batman. I expect a new Scarecrow or Catwoman will happen before Ra's, though.

    A Hatter Henchman would be a good excuse to reuse the bunny mask mold... Ever since the club magazines that showed him, I've wanted a Ventriloquist with Scarface microfig. And since both Alfred and Arnold Wesker could reuse the bald cap mold, I don't see why LEGO wouldn't take that opportunity.

    He's referring to the odd VR games when hacking a computer (or to unlock characters and vehicles). I think this hub system is terrible, though. I much preferred the open-world Gotham and New York to the small planets and enclosed areas. I think that's going to deter me from buying the new Marvel game this year, because I expect the world system will be rather similar.

    That makes sense, but since this theme has a lot of material and a lot of time, it's likely we'll get a complete Batfamily one day. I still want to see Mad Hatter, Clayface, and Killer Moth, though.
  6. 8BrickMario
    True, but they would probably have to make an entire Batman Beyond set for a Terry Batman, which would be cool, but seems unlikely. But the three most important ones we don't have are Alfred, Jason Todd, and Kate Kane. Stephanie Brown in any of her various superhero identities is likely to happen someday, but I personally don't care for her as anyone but Spoiler.

    I suppose they count, too. Red Hood would be nice, but I don't think either of the female Robins will take priority. Red Robin would require a new helmet, but he might be made one day, too.

    Probably around the release of the Summer sets. Probably no hidden sets in the summer group, but there's nothing saying DC won't have some new sets out next January. I'm just hoping we'll get our missing Batfamily members (Alfred, Batwoman) soon. We've had this theme for three years now, and it's high time we get either of them now that they're expanding their cast.

    .It's been established that the Trickster is almost certainly a DVD or book exclusive, as its plastic shell is just like the ones used in the LEGO books and DVDS with minifigures included.

    Or anything that translates to anything at all. There's only one thing I can think of: I still haven't seen the Joker's Bumper Car, but the release date has been really inconsistent. Was it March or April? I hate these times where there's nothing to talk about, because it eventually derails to a whole page of "What relation does Grodd have to Beast Boy?"
  11. 8BrickMario
    ...no news. We've only been speculating for a while now, which is a shame, really.
  12. 8BrickMario
    I don't see how they would do the 10,000-Volt Ghost at all. It would be difficult if not impossible to replicate the electric glow, and if not, it's a really basic orange minifigure that isn't the right shape for a minifig, either.
  13. 8BrickMario
    Or MODOK's head. But barring those few exceptions, LEGO usually tries to make their new minifig parts multipurpose, and if not, at least include the character that uses the piece in more than one set.
  14. 8BrickMario
    Thanks for that! Now I like the prints even more and the hat even less! I'm probably going to buy an extra Zombie Cheerleader and paint the hairpiece properly.
  15. 8BrickMario
    This is the best one we've got.
  16. 8BrickMario
    The problem with some of the New 52 designs is that they operate under the "consumers want gritty/realistic, not silly". Thus why Cap. Cold and Harley are no longer allowed to wear a parka and a motley bodysuit. "Mirror Master was way too colorful and goofy-looking, so that HAS to go! Never mind that the Flash is all red and yellow and wears a silly winged mask!" Apparently, we're not able to take the old costumes seriously, so in come the sexy or edgy looks in their place. Honestly, though, I can still appreciate the new Harley outfit. Slightly. (The colored pigtails replacing the hat save it for me, it's a clever call back.) But I do prefer LEGO's more modest approach that makes the costume look like an acrobat's unitard, as it fits the character's theme more than a bursting corset.
  17. 8BrickMario
    I doubt a Scrappy fig would be in high demand. There's a reason TV Tropes uses his name to describe an unintentionally hated character. Personally, I hope they stick with the classic nostalgia and stick closer to the original show, since those designs are the most recognizable and iconic.
  18. 8BrickMario
    Why is the Squad version so awful? Personally, I couldn't care less which version of DS we get, and I think the one we get looks good enough. It might be less useful to mold a new helmet for him, anyway, since it's unlikely that he would appear in more sets.
  19. 8BrickMario
    No need to be rude. The problem some of us have is that the minifigure does not match the source material, that is, Harley Quinn #1 in the New 52. The fact that LEGO has designed an appropriate hairpiece that would work rather well for the figure just makes it seem more lazy or poorly designed since it does not have it. Most Super Heroes figs drive the sales for sets, so when they're inaccurate and/or look poorly designed, there's less reason to want the set.
  20. 8BrickMario
    Right, the Truck version was from B:TAS. Ironically, though, none of the Harleys have been accurate...her hat never had a "widow's peak".
  21. 8BrickMario
    That set was not in the Super Heroes theme, though. Harley's only appearance in this theme was the Funhouse.
  22. 8BrickMario
    I understand why they would underdesign a fig to sell future versions-Batman's new boots for example- but when the resulting minifigure is both really inaccurate and awful-looking, I can't support that decision. They could have rereleased the jester look if they just HAD to reuse that hat piece, but combining it with the New 52 look just doesn't work at all. But they probably will make her red/blue look in the future to profit off of the pigtail hairpiece.
  23. 8BrickMario
    Possible, but I don't see how the piece wouldn't be used first in Jokerland and later in the CMFs. Just introduce the mold earlier. And at least a few of them have already been produced, since we've seen 11 of the physical S14 figs. I'm just crossing my fingers for a red/blue Squad-comics version that has the hair, because it's a waste to not include it on any version of Harley, and in my opinion, it's the most likely. LEGO can close her corset and make it a one-piece costume like the Jokerland one, and they'll have a colorful, interesting figure. I only prefer the N52 Squad version because the hair matches the costume colors and replaces the jester hat better than blonde hair. Although I wouldn't object too much to one of the Arkham versions with blonde pigtails.
  24. 8BrickMario
    I can understand that, but to sacrifice accuracy so blatantly on a minifigure seems like a really poor use of budget constraints. It doesn't even look good, even if it did match the source material. The acrobat-like costume does not go with a jester's hat.
  25. 8BrickMario
    For me, it's not so much having the hair, it's that LEGO ignored the perfect piece and made a horrible-looking figure because of it. It's just plain stupid and inaccurate.
