The next line of LEGO’s blind-bagged minifigures is all about the upcoming LEGO Batman Movie — and just like everything we’ve seen of both the film and the LEGO sets so far, it’s looking both absolutely delightful and jam-packed with goofy reference to decades of Bat-pop culture.
The full set of 20 minifigures — available, as ever with the collectable minifigs line, as individual blind-bags — features some deep cut references to Bat-lore, specifically relating to members of Batman’s extensive rogue gallery that we know will make cameo appearances in the movie, judging by recent trailers.
There’s classics like the Red Hood, a version of the Joker in his Arkham Asylum jumpsuit and even a Nurse Harley Quinn, but then there’s amazing obscure characters like King Tut, the Calculator, March Harriet and the Eraser.
Catman!
Then there’s some of the hilarious different Batmen (and Batgirls) we’ll be getting too, from Glam Metal Batman, to Lobster-Lovin’ Batman, to Caveman Batman. Even better? Some of the accessories. Dick Grayson comes with his very own Bat-Shark repellent.
