LEGO has revealed its latest sub theme of the Super Hero themes, BrickHeadz! The theme features characters from both Marvel and DC Comics and each set consists of two figures and retails for $40. Each of these four sets will be available next week at Comic Con and will be able to us normal people in January.

What do you think of this new line of sets? Let is know in the comments!

I love them! They epitomise the fact that lego parts could be used very creatively for basically anything! Unikitty's tail as Superman's iconic curl? Genius!

However, I do also feel that they look too..simplified in a sense, and that too much of detail is conveyed through printing instead of clever lego techniques. Do appreciate them going in a different direction, making the SUperheroes line cuter (first mighty micros, which is simply ADORABLE, and now this!)

If we get Scooby or Friends ones sure otherwise I'll probably skip these. :P

Personally I think their foreheads are a little too big (except Wonder Woman and Iron Man) and they should really have mouths. :P I'm really disappointed that the tan pieces aren't flesh colour though. :(. I really like the new eye prints and the designs are pretty good.

Also, though I don't know what wording whoever announced this used, BrickHeadz won't necessarily be limited to Super Heroes characters, so calling it a subtheme of that probably isn't right. :P

It's coming at a good time, with all of the nostalgic Dimensions franchises.

Well so far it's limited, I'm sure mighty micros could fit into other themes but remains a sub theme. :P

To balance out so much of the rest of the internet: I like these. At least the iconic characters...Dr. Strange and Black Panther kind of feel wrong when they could have done Spider-Man, Thor, Wolverine, Hulk, Loki, Magneto, Doc Ock, and so many others, but eh.

I'll probably skip them though. I definitely will if $40 isn't just the SDCC price. Yeesh.

They do nothing for me, but as long as they don't cut into the number of normal sets, I'm completely ok with these. I know some people would rush out to get these sets, but I just can't see them selling extremely well for some reason.

Very cute, but $40 is quite a bit for just two - Maybe $30-$35? :P

Some people are saying that's probably just going to be the comic con price, I hope that's true. I imagine the actual price will be $10 each

and unlike Pop Vinyls when you're fed up with them you can take them apart and make something more interesting :)

Well, obviously, Knight. That wasn't meant literally. It was meant as a comparison. Because they look similar.
