LEGO Heroes United Update (Now With More Sharks!)

I've posted about my LEGO Lex Luthor Mech-Suit and Heroes United diorama before, but since then the Heroes' ranks have grown quite a bit.

That Lex doesn't go down easy!

In addition to some of the bootlegs I've recently acquired, some new additions to the official LEGO team (Spider-Man, Michaelangelo), and a couple customs I've made (Black Canary, Sandman, Zatanna, Scarlet Spider, Creature Commandos), last night I was able to add a Great White Shark and Sawfish to Aquaman's attack. I found them in an incomplete but well worth the price Shark Cage Cove LEGO set at the thrift store yesterday.

Bootlegs and customs have also fed my Villain minifigure ranks, so I decided it was about time the bad-guys mounted a counter-attack!

Red Hood and Harley Quinn are customs, and Red Hulk, The Dark Knight version of The Joker and Shredder are bootlegs. (More on Shredder in a future post.)

I have a lot more villains I can add to this one, but most of them are currently hanging out in other LEGO dioramas. It's tough to get these guys to cooperate. No wonder they always lose!

  1. That is an awesome battle scene! I can see the allure these Lego figs have over collectors. When was the last time you had almost every brand of superhero displayed in one square foot area. Love those little teenage mutant ninja turtles ..or.. L.T.M.N.T.

    1. Yeah, that really is one of the biggest draws for me - add to that the fact that parts are interchangeable and you can even have a Batman with a Darth Vader Helmet or a Luke SkyRobin (which I have done!)

      And yes, the TMNT minifigures are pretty fun!
