MInifigure Spotlight - Lightning Lad



Haven't done a spotlight in a while and really haven't done much here I apologize.  The Lightning Lad minifigure comes from the 2015 Black Friday Target Exclusive 4 pack.  I was able to actually find a pack well after Black Friday.  To be honest this was the only minifigure in the pack that really interested me.  Lightning Lad is a member of the Legion of Superheroes, I'm not sure if we'll be seeing more Legionnaires in the furture.  He comes with a really nice paint job and the Legion tattoo on the bicep is nice and has an alt face.  I decided to try something new and found a cheap little turntable, see if you like the 360 idea.

Minifigure spotlight --- Computer Programmer

I'll be honest if I wasn't a completist when it comes to these minifigure series this is probably one I wouldn't have gone after, but not having one and pulling it from a blind pack is always fun.

At first I called this guy computer nerd, but he is officially know as the Computer Programmer. Lumberg anyone?

The nerd, ahem, I mean programmer comes with a coffee cup, with the C:\ prompt and a Lego brand computer, which is much more dependable than a Dell.

Sorry that's a little blurry.


Of course 
The laptop is actually pretty cool, you can actually see ports on the back.
And when you open it up it has a keyboard and screen.  It's the little things that can take what would probably be a pretty boring character from the City line and well make him less boring I suppose.

Minifigure spotlight --- Ocean King

I always called this guy, Neptune or Poseidon, but Lego officially calls him Ocean King.  I'm not sure exactly what line he comes from since Lego's minifigure series' usually includes characters from a wide array of non-licenced themes.

 Here we have another Series 7 great. Another mini I really wanted to pull and the second new minifigure I got from my early Christmas present from my wife.

The Ocean King has great detailing.  The hair/horn helmut is really cool.  He has no articulation below the waist as the tail piece is one solid block.  And he also comes with a really nice trident. And the detail on the upper body is pretty cool.  Man that guy is ripped!


And here is what the face looks like with out the beard or hair on.

Yikes my camera has a focus problem.  Pretty basic, but I do love that the character gets a full face even thought most of the face is covered up by his beard.

Minifigure Spotlight -- Evil Knight

My awesome wife surprised me with an early Christmas present of 9 packs of Series 7 Lego Minifigures. And out of those 9 we added 4 new figures to the minifigure collection.

So lets spotlight -----Series 7 Evil Knight


Probably one of the more desirable characters offered in Series 7, the Evil Knight has great detailing.

The shield has an awesome decal as well as the whole front of the body.

I love the detail of the boars head.

Side view.

Back View

The helmet has some pretty cool detail as well.


Mr. Evil Knight only comes with one face, but when your first name is Evil one is all you need.

Here's a close up of the face with out the helmet.  Man he is really angry.

A great minifigure. I was thinking that maybe a cape would have been a nice touch too, but he already comes with a large well detailed shield and sword.
