As previously announced:
Two of the world's most iconic brands are joining forces as The LEGO Group, world leader in high quality construction toys, and Marvel Entertainment, LLC, a global character -based entertainment company, announced a wide ranging strategic licensing deal. Through the multi-year agreement starting as of January 1st, 2012, Marvel has granted LEGO Group the rights to develop a distinct Marvel branded construction toy collection -- LEGO SUPER HEROES -- which will bring the characters, vehicles and action of Marvel's renowned universe to the world of LEGO® build-and-play adventure. The LEGO SUPER HEROES Marvel collection's initial construction sets, minifigures and buildable characters are scheduled to launch in May of 2012.

The LEGO SUPER HEROES Marvel collection will spotlight three Marvel franchises – Marvel's The Avengers movie, and X-Men and Spider-Man classic characters. The LEGO Marvel's The Avengers movie line brings such ever popular Marvel characters as Iron Man, The Hulk, Captain America, Thor, Hawkeye, Loki and Black Widow to LEGO minifigure form. The LEGO X-Men collection includes minifigure comic versions of Wolverine, Magneto, Nick Fury and Deadpool, while the LEGO Spider-Man sets offer minifigure comic versions of Spider-Man, and Doctor Octopus. The first buildable characters in the LEGO SUPER HEROES collection are highlighted by Captain America, The Hulk and Iron Man. Select figures will be unveiled in the LEGO booth (#2829) during Comic-Con International at the San Diego Convention Center July 21-24.

"Our partnership with Marvel helps us continue to deliver some of the best and most constructible Super Hero stories of all time," said Jill Wilfert, vice president, licensing and entertainment for The LEGO Group. "We're thrilled to partner with Marvel to create creative, constructive play sets for builders, fans and collectors alike."

Joann Mclaughlin, Executive Vice President Toys & Hardlines, Marvel Entertainment, commented, "The partnership with LEGO Group furthers Marvel's strategy to align our brand with the best in class leaders across various industries who have the global marketing expertise and distribution clout to stand out in the retail environment. This deal solidifies the already robust presence of our characters and the overall Marvel brand in the ever important toy category."

The retail debut of the Marvel-inspired LEGO SUPER HEROES collection is timed to coincide with the highly anticipated Summer 2012 blockbuster movie release of Marvel Studios and Walt Disney Pictures feature film Marvel's The Avengers.


So unfortuantly the Avengers toys wont be released until next Summer.

@Thorverine - Actually, I did, but the article was taken down before the changes took place. Oh, well. Maybe next time, though.

Anyway, here's what I was going to add, from the ToyArk and Marvelous News sites. Enjoy!

Cerebro - 7/20/2011, 11:05 PM
We have seen all the batman ones before and their cool. The Wolvie, Thor, and Wonder woman are also cool as hell. The rest are crap. Look at caps shield, that sticker looks like sh!t. And what's up with that big green bugger in purple pants?
BooYah - 7/20/2011, 11:12 PM
Why does Hulk not have a face? Is it not done yet?
gamecreatorjj - 7/20/2011, 11:13 PM
@cererbro the avengers ones are not yet finished, they havent been mass produced yet, because they will be released in may, so the stickers are temporary, they will fix it by may

Those build a figures look pretty cool though, and weird.
Chewtoy - 7/21/2011, 4:53 AM
I wish the Hulk one looked more like a Lego figure, though I love the size of him. As it stands now, he just looks like some other toy was added to the display.
PaulRom - 7/21/2011, 7:47 AM
Iron Man's head is too damn big. :P
But I like the rest, except Hulk needs a fake.
rogue23 - 7/21/2011, 12:33 PM
somebody needs to tell lego that nick fury belongs in the avengers set.
pirooks - 7/21/2011, 12:52 PM
Are you guys [frick]ing stupid, these are fakes. so dumb
Colbert - 7/21/2011, 8:55 PM
These are very real and are just the tip theres so much coming Hawkeye Deadpool,Lex luthor,Spiderman movie and comic versions All the Batman sets plus Robin and Bane. They always put out pix to get a test out of the reaction of fans, They have a long term deal with Marvel and D.C., I probably said too much but just wait.
Slaggathor - 7/24/2011, 11:00 PM
@pirooks No, they're not. I've been collecting LEGOs and following news on them for a long time and I know when they're fake and when they're the real thing.
If these were fake, Cap wouldn't look as cheaply done because folks who make custom mini-figs are perfectionists.
We won't get any images of the final products for a few more months.
