As expected, this past weekend at Toy Fair 2012, LEGO unveiled their upcoming Marvel sets, and they look awesome… well, except for Iron Man.
Captain America’s Avenging Cycle
Official description: While riding his Avenging Cycle, Captain America spots the general on his craft. Help Captain America use his indestructible shield to defeat the general and his foot soldier! Win the battle and send them back to where they came from. The fate of the world lies in your hands. Includes 3 minifigures: Captain America and more.
Loki’s Cosmic Cube Escape
Official description: Loki is escaping from S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters with the powerful Cosmic Cube. If he succeeds, he could use it to wreak havoc on the world! Will Iron Man in his amazing armored suit alongside Hawkeye in his function-packed S.H.I.E.L.D. off-roader be fast enough to catch Loki, or will the Asgardian villain escape with the Cosmic Cube? You decide! Includes 3 minifigures: Iron Man, Loki and Hawkeye.
Hulk’s Helicarrier Breakout
The Hulk and Thor have Loki captured on board the Avengers’ awesome Helicarrier. Using his powers of trickery and illusion, Loki makes Hawkeye lose control of his function-packed jet fighter. Help Hulk bring down the malfunctioning jet fighter and its flick-missiles by smashing the fuel canisters to hit the jet fighter! Then jump onto the jet fighter and rescue Hawkeye from the cockpit with the cockpit blast function! Includes 4 minifigures: Hulk, Thor, Hawkeye and Loki.
Quinjet Arial Battle
Loki is up to no good and is planning to destroy the earth! As he flies into battle on board his chariot, help the Avenger’s defeat their nemesis using the supersonic Quinjet! Fire the missiles, release the mini-jet and imprison Loki in the prison pod! With the high-tech Quinjet, the Avengers can’t fail! Includes Thor, Iron Man, Black Widow, Loki and more minifigures.
And while LEGO and Marvel will be pushing The Avengers sets heavily as the lead up to the movie release draws close, someone did spot another group of Minifigs around the LEGO booth.

Awesome sauce! Seems like they are spreading the love around to a lot more characters than the Batman/DC Legos.
these look amazing, but i have one gripe. Iron Man’s Helmet looks like it is twice the size it should be. i know Legos are not always proportionate, but that helmet is pretty big. other than that, these look awesome. i also wonder if they are reusing some sculpts, Hulk looks a lot like the old miner rock monsters…..
These better become available over here in the UK. So want these.
(BTW, its Lego or Lego brick not Legos.)
That Hulk figure is sweeeeet.
Looks like MegaBloks offer the better Marvel products, and Lego wins with DC.
The execution on Lego Iron Man is really, really poor. If you want to give him a helmet, fine. But, then, don’t give him a painted-on armor that makes his helmet-head look huge. Give him some sort of armor that fits over the torso, too, so that it all looks proportionate.
(Hulk and Wolverine both look good, though.)
