I really thought that the last couple weeks of the years would be quiet for LEGO news and I wouldn’t be missing anything taking a vacation, but it’s just not to be! So I’m skipping my FastPass appointment for Snow White’s Mine Cart at Magic Kingdom to talk about the latest LEGO Marvel 2015 minifigure to be revealed: the Winter Soldier!
It was a pretty bizarre move on LEGO’s part to skip over the title character of one of the biggest movies of 2015, but it seems they’ve realized their mistake and are ready to rectify it this winter!
Earlier this week, rumors began spreading of a LEGO Winter Soldier polybag minifigure being in the pipeline. And now, that figure has been confirmed by tkkim, who has leaked photos of the LEGO Winter Soldier figure (and his reversible head)!
One side of Winter Soldier’s head features him with his eye mask on (like the comics), while the other side has Winter Soldier with his freaky Hannibal Lecter reminiscent face mask over his mouth.
The character isn’t entirely accurate to his appearances in the cartoons, comic books or movies, but is actually a sort of amalgam from all the different versions of The Winter Soldier.
LEGO Winter Soldier features printing on his arm to create his awesome bionic left arm (with red star!). We don’t see arm printing nearly enough on LEGO minifigures, so that detail makes up for the Winter Soldier’s lack of including any weapons whatsoever.
I’ll post updates here and to the Bricks and Bloks Facebook Page as more information becomes available regarding when and how this promo LEGO Marvel Winter Soldier figure will be given away.
Are you excited for the Winter Soldier to join your LEGO Marvel minifigures collection, LEGO fans? Or is this elite assassin coming too late after his movie to claim your attention?
Very excited there will FINALLY be a Winter Soldier minifig…love the arm printing too.
Greetings,
I certainly hope you are having a great time in Orlando. You should have used your fast pass on the Snow White ride. . .the Lego mini figs could have waited. Best wished, Ed Russell
Oh this is so awesome, I love that it has the Domino Mask! I loved the movie but will always prefer the Domino Mask look, enjoy Disney hope you get back on the Snow White Ride
