2017 Nexo Knights Battle Suits images
Posted by Huw,
Images of next year's Battle Suits sets have emerged, courtesy of Hoth Bricks. As is often the case, Will there has not cited his source so I will have to assume they have been obtained from a legitimate one.
They are an interesting mash-up of minifigures and Mixels!

Great stuff!
Do we know if there is a whole minifig inside the mech?
These look fun. I'm a sucker for mechs and I've heard these connect to some of the vehicles in the next wave (that might just be a rumor). Definite buy for me!
These have a Hulkbuster armor feel to me. Not interested but these look great for fans of NK.
I miss Exo-Force.
WOW!! MiniMechs!! That's awesome! Mechs are my favorite Lego builds. They look like they'll be pretty cheap too. Clay's and Axl's look the best.
'Yooha, it looks like it. You can see the arms on the red one's figure.
Doesn't look like a whole minifigure is in there.
GAH
FEED US MORE 2017
i think they're whole, also the chest looks like a whole pice with an hinge in the bottom, and the shoulder ball looks like a new piece, probably part of a bigger piece.
All in all i like them!
If you look at the lower right corner of the packaging, there is an image of a complete minifigure; hopefully that means there is one in there!
Leaked images already showed there is an entire figure inside.
Personally, I think that these are not that good. They look pretty good, and those shields are pretty neat as well as some of the new parts, but I am still waiting for Lego to figure out that knees and elbows are important. Without those, Lego mechs just aren't pose-able.
Another point to 'full figure' is; check the lower-left corner of each mech's torso, because I think I see the 'toe' of each figure's foot.
Relatively, I was kinda hoping for something like this for the line the other day...but I was hoping that their mechs could combined (hey, I liked the idea of that/this waaaaay before Power Rangers). I mean: Axl's torso, Lance's legs/Skates/Blades (what, I'm the only one who noticed)...maybe both Macy's and Arron's arms (short an long range attack), Clay's mech for the head...and a space for the 5 characters, or more if more character are added (the King, the Queen, Robin, Ava,...). This of course would allow larger baddies (imagine a Jestro built about the same as Giant-Man...)...ah, to dream...
What do you think, those breastplates with the animal logos are printed pieces or stickers?
Hopefully star wars is next
When Nexo Knights was first announced, I thought it looked good and innovative, but I haven't actually picked up any of the sets yet.
These might change that (depending on prices and other specifics, i.e. viability as parts packs); these look really fun.
I don't collect Nexo Knights but this one I'll pick up. Really nice looking...They should remake the Hulk Buster this way.
The more I think about it, the more I think these might help fill the hole in my heart left by the end of Mixels...
So. Frickin. Cool. Best thing they've released in the whole line. Any idea what they'll cost?
Those Look Awesome
These look really neat.
It looks like you get 5 shields with each set! Wow! My son mostly likes the shields, so these seem like a good way to collect them without spending much money.
Aside from the shields, I think they are pretty weak as mechs go.
These look interesting? However, does this mean that the Ultimate knights will be discontinued soon?
Look at Axl's mech. His body is too large for the mech, so they've only built the bottom half of the mech's torso, and the top half is Axl's figure. I'd say this comes with the full actual minifigs, yeah.
I've felt this way since Nexo Knights started, but are there way more super-specialized pieces being made nowadays? Like that triangular shield thing with the powers on it. It does look pretty awesome.
Not saying there's anything good or bad about that, just curious.
Looking at the shoulder of the white mech (Lance), are those new pices? They look like the baby bow but squared.
@nicola80 I think that is just a 1x1 tile and cheese slope next to each other, but happy to be proved wrong.
70359 looks amazing!
Their chest piece is an entirely new piece, which can be opened and is basically like a container to fit a minifigure.
@Teriyaqi: I wouldn't call that shield any more specialized than a minifigure weapon or shield, to be honest. It's size may be greater than a minifig shield but it also seems to have plenty of connection points to add to its versatility.
@nicola80: Yep, it's new! It's actually one plate deeper than the baby bow. It also appears in the Assembly Square even though it wasn't highlighted in the designer video.
I've made a video about the other sets of Nexo Knights for 2017! https://youtu.be/XhCBU_C0My8
