Of more interest to me... 


That'll make up for the fact that the Wonder Woman statue vs. Ares bust was so disappointing. Also, I never ordered the Catwoman/Batgirl confrontation because I didn't like they way they were supported in the air by their capes. It just looked wrong to me. This, on the other hand, is very pretty.

Only problem I have with that Green Lantern statue (assuming he is not wearing the current "I forgot to put on my pants" version of the costume) is that it looks like it will have a heckuva big footprint for what amounts to a very small GL. After WW vs Ares and Batgirl vs Catwoman, why GL vs. . whatever the heck that is?

Nice Jim Starlin pose on that Captain Marvel statue, although the hair is a bit too redish.

For Warlock, I would have prefered a Gil Kane inspired pose but the statue is OK.

Good news, DC Comics comes to LEGO!

I hope this means a deal with Marvel would be workable, because I'd MUCH rather have Avengers, FF, etc than any character from DC, but I don't foresee both licenses going on at the same time.

Looks like your wish is sort of coming true, Ryan.

Lego has a deal with Marvel, too.

A Marvel/Lego line up could be the best thing in the world. Ever!

X-men Vs Imperial Guard on the Moon, complete with Giant Watcher.
Danger Room - could have various incarnations - Giant Sentinals, etc.
Coming of Galactus - All on top of an intricate model of the Baxter Building.
(top few floors, not the whole thing)
Kree/Skrull War.
Avengers Quinjet.
The Various jets used by the X-men.

In fact, you could have a fair chunk of the stories from JB's run on X-men
make good playlets. Alpha Flight at the Airport, The Hellfire Club, complete
with three versions of Jean. (Although would the Black Queen be a bit too
much for Lego?) Days of Future Past...

Could even have a Marvel New York come out. Baxter Building, Daily Bugle,
Avengers Mansion, Dr Strange's house, Brooklyn Bridge….

So many possibilities…..
