We got a few of the product images and prices, and an up close look at the new LEGO Batman Movie sets at NYCC.
We saw a glimpse of these right before NYCC, but at the show the main focus of the booth was Batman and the Super Hero Girls. The Super Hero Girls sets looked amazing, such a great start to the property, but they were eclipsed by the LEGO Batman Movie.
The highlight and focus of the booth was the LEGO Batman Movie. The first three sets were shown off as well as the two shown at SDCC this year. What was first thought to be a Juniors set will be a regular LEGO set, Mr. Freeze. From the look of the build it could be a Juniors set, but the new Freeze is a great addition to the Batman Rogue gallery.
The other two sets are large, and sure to be center pieces of some collections. The Arkham set is by far one of the best Arkham builds to date, it also sports a ton of minifigures. It is similar in size to the last Arkham set, but is a more complete building, with a guard tower. The designs of the villains are slightly different than the regular comic minifgures collectors have been buying over the last few years, so they won’t fill in any hole for those collectors who missed some of the early minifigures. The nicest touch was making Two Face look like Billy Dee Williams, the Two Face we never saw from the Burton films.
The Batcave set is also a throw back to the Burton films, with a Penguin and set up similar to the early cave. It offers collector to own an Alfred for less than $75, and a rotating carousel for all the Bat-suits on the way. It is another cave, but worth picking up for all the little details, allowing collectors to build one hell of a mix and match cave set up.
