70840 Welcome to Apocalypseburg! - The Minifigures

Yeah, awesome! I want Batman, Chainsaw Dave & Mohawk! These 3 look badass :-D

Chainsaw Dave's leg print is way off.

All look great

@Octopus.Boy agreed. And also, is Batman wearing tires or something? I still like Emmet though.

Literally, the only thing that caught my interest in this set is the Harley Quinn minifigure.

The Scribble Cop outfit is going to be perfect for custom versions of Mad Max.

Green Lantern and Harley are the stand outs for me. Haven't even looked properly at the set yet but will try and get these two one way or another.
Green Lantern's head will be firmly placed with the normal expression facing forward though.

Really want to know what Fuse's face looks like under that mask...

At first I thought I would finally procure a proper pair of boardies; sadly I now see that the same fate that haunts series two, and my 850449 lives on. Not a deal breaker but a missed opportunity.

The lopsided smile on WAMP guy reminds me of Mineta for some reason.

They look excellent, but I think I just heard Chainsaw Dave yell "I have the power!!!!"

Give Chainsaw Dave some red speedo legs, and bam, you've He-Man.

I'm buying this set and getting 10% back when I sell that Harley Quinn fig for $30.

I'm psyched for the Suicide Squad Harley Quinn, though I wish they'd skipped the metal kneepad. I'd really like to see what the actual torso looks like on this version of Batman, since the legs and arms are clearly different from the one that just got released. I was kinda wondering why nobody was making note of the fact that Chainsaw Dave is the S2 Surfer, but I now realize there are significant differences between them (besides the chest straps). The Surfer's board shorts are black where these are dark-blue. The muscle pattern on the chest is completely different, and the Surfer's pattern is printed in orange. The stubble pattern is slightly different (and Dave's is two-tone), plus the cheekbone lines are completely different in shape and color. They look similar enough that if you saw them a day apart, you'd probably think they were exactly the same. The stickers on the surfboard also appear to be modeled after the S2 Surfer's painted board, but in greyscale instead of black and orange.

@Your future president:
There's no way they would have been able to produce any sets based on the Suicide Squad movie. The name alone rules that out. But they already included several DC characters in TLM (though, notably, zero villains), and they packed spin-off TLBM full of more DC characters than have ever appeared in any other theatrical release. Harley Quinn is, by all accounts, DC's second most popular character after Batman (who is himself the most popular comic book character period). Given any opportunity to slip her into an official set, it was probably too good to pass up. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they purposefully used this outfit just to create an alternative way to make this possible.

@LuvKernow:
Harley? Not in the wave that we've been staring at for the last week. There are no DC characters in the CMF wave at all. The only TLM2 DC minifig besides these three is the other version of Batman that looks similar to this one but without the brown arms and legs.

Love The APOCA-BAT, Chainsaw Surfin' Dave, Green Lantern and Roxxi.
But I really love all the apocalypse type characters. Love the Mad-Max inspired designs.
I can see Scribble Cop used for a classic Mad Max custom fig as well as Roxxi for a Furiosa custom. Maybe Chainsaw Dave later on becomes....The Humongous!

That Harley Quin fig is gonna be sought after!

To me, the Harley Quinn figure is far and away the best in the set. I really like this set but wish it was a tad cheaper. I think $250 would have been a good price. I wonder how long it will be in production. Right now for $300 I would probably still lean towards Ninjago City.

The Minifigures are definitely the best part of the set. Chainsaw Dave and Larry the Barista are the standouts for me, I guess I just like seeing old characters reimagined!

"Harley Quinn is, by all accounts, DC's second most popular character after Batman..."

She's *not*, but DC is determined to make her their version of Deadpool (because they're still desperate for Marvel-levels of returns), so here we are.

They printed 'daddy' on a minifigure, now we gotta kinkshame LEGO!

I have tried looking but cant tell. Is this Batman the same version as the one that comes in the set with metal beard? I thought it was different until I saw this one at a different angle and saw there were bare arms. Has anybody looked at them side by side?

It is weird that Harley's breasts have an outline on the jacket, which do not continue on the T-shirt. Cutting them into half just looks stupid. Once you see it, you cant unsee it, and this ruins the fig for me.

For me it's Larry the Barista. Is anybody else imaging him asking what size of latte with Tom Hardy's Bane voice?

Maybe these figures are the reason this set is more expensive than some people would like. They're epic and five of them have arm printing.

Chainsaw Dave is glorious.

Other than that, I don't know what to say besides I want them all.

@Zordboy:
Except she is. Harley Quinn was created as a throwaway character for a single episode of Batman: The Animated Series, and proved so popular that they not only made her a regular character in the series, but they quickly introduced her to main comic book continuity at the time. I actually watched her first episode live, during the original broadcast. I also should have Deadpool's first appearance stashed away someplace, because I believe I was reading that title at that time. Deadpool only came out a year before Harley's first episode, but it took a few years, and some tweaking by other writers, before he really took off (the whole personality and 4th Wall thing came quite a bit later). Even then, I don't think he ever hit Harley Quinn levels of popularity until the first movie came out. Outside of comic book stores, most people only knew of him from the Wolverine movie...which is exactly why it took so long (and a bit of "leaked" video) to get the real Deadpool movie off the ground. Harley was only held back by the fact that WB (in true Hollywood tradition) didn't believe a female could headline a comic book movie, and the understandable push to make Wonder Woman the first female to do so.

But check the Wikipedia page for links to proof if you don't believe me. She ranks with Batman and Superman in terms of how many titles she appears in, Jim Lee ranks her with the Trinity in terms of importance to DC's publishing, any merchandise featuring her tends to fly off the shelves, and while Deadpool had a long, slow rise to becoming a household name, Harley has appeared in eight animated series (with a ninth on the way), and at least one live-action series (with at least two other instances that are either cameos or easter eggs, depending on how you take it).

No, DC isn't trying to make Harley into their version of Deadpool. Pretty much since she first appeared she's been consistently more popular than he has. They're both great characters, but the only major similarity (besides costume colors) is that they're both certifiably nuts. But if you want to go that route, they're both cribbing Joker's style...

@freow:
No, they're different. This Batman has brown boots and vambraces.

@inversion:
Think that's weird? Go look at images of the first Harley Quinn minifig from 2008. They printed the black body panels over the white detail lines, so she looks like she's only got one. Additionally, the waist curves are all cut off on either top or bottom on both sides. They did notice the print error after the first batch of sets had shipped, and they corrected it the next time they printed those torsos.

The level of moaning every post on this site elicits is truly inspiring

Meh.

Are the pictures not showing up for anyone else?

Pictures are broken
