It came with his iconic hairpiece.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"9\">As usual, his faceprint was expressive.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"13\">The cape was shorter than usual and came with Superman&#8217;s simplified torso.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"10\">This was the second Bizarro LEGO sent us.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"14\">His face print was amazing and probably the most impressive we&#8217;ve ever seen.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"11\">He was also given a purple cape.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"16\">His torso print looked a lot like Superman, but was reversed and had different colours.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"17\">Superman was equipped with Blue Kryptonite while Bizarro had green.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"15\">The vehicles were very similar.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"20\">The\u00a0Superman&#8217;s\u00a0was predominantly blue with two fists facing inward and a fin at its back.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"18\">Bizarro&#8217;s vehicle\u00a0had the opposite reversed.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"19\">It was purple with the fists facing forward and the fin at its front.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"21\">Mighty Micros: Batman Vs. Killer Moth (76069).<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"27\">This set features a Batman figure based on his Classic TV series appearance. It has a dark blue cowl and a light grey torso.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"23\">His expression of anger was amazing and his torso was simple, just like all Mighty Micros figures.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"22\">Batman came with a Batarang.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"29\">Killer Moth\u00a0looked similar to his LEGO Batman Movie appearance. It used the same head attachment and wing attachments as that version.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"24\">I loved his imperfect teeth and the glasses added a nice touch to the faceprint.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"25\">Another simple torso.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"26\">Finally, he was equipped with a blaster.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-200\" src=\"http:\/\/www.homeimprovementneed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/76069-1-2048x776-1-300x114.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"114\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.homeimprovementneed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/76069-1-2048x776-1-300x114.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.homeimprovementneed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/76069-1-2048x776-1-1024x388.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.homeimprovementneed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/76069-1-2048x776-1-768x291.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.homeimprovementneed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/76069-1-2048x776-1-1536x582.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.homeimprovementneed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/76069-1-2048x776-1.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"28\">The Mighty Micros set was definitely the most impressive of all sub-themes.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"36\">Batman&#8217;s helicopter was a miniature version of the Classic TV series helicopter. It had a spinning propeller and an open cockpit.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"31\">Killer Moth&#8217;s vehicle looked like a fly.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"30\">The use of so many transparent pieces was a great idea.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"34\">With the miniaturefigure heads, and the telescope piece, the head was a great design.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"37\">The builds were without a doubt the best in the Mighty Micros series.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"35\">Mighty Micros vs. Doomsday (776070)<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"33\">This was the final Mighty Micros theme for DC.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"50\">After a missed opportunity to place him in a Batman Vs Superman set LEGO finally released our first\u00a0Doomsday\u00a0figurine.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"32\">He was hilarious!<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"41\">The figure was really pop with all three attachments, giving it a very funny look.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"38\">The torso and face were done well.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"40\">To fight Wonder Woman, he was given a cub.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"46\">The Amazonian princess was finally re-invented as Mighty Micros.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"44\">Although she used an existing hairpiece, her face and torso had been made new.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"42\">She received a shield and a sword.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-201\" src=\"http:\/\/www.homeimprovementneed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/76070-1-2048x915-1-300x134.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"134\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.homeimprovementneed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/76070-1-2048x915-1-300x134.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.homeimprovementneed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/76070-1-2048x915-1-1024x458.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.homeimprovementneed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/76070-1-2048x915-1-768x343.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.homeimprovementneed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/76070-1-2048x915-1-1536x686.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.homeimprovementneed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/76070-1-2048x915-1.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"51\">Wonder Woman&#8217;s vehicle\u00a0displayed a cute representation the Invisible Jet.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"43\">It had a lot clear pieces which made it very affordable.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"47\">The vehicle of the Doomsday was very intriguing.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"45\">It featured many spikes and flame pieces at the back.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"39\">Wonder Woman Warrior Battle (76075)<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"57\">LEGO is a great company. I have seen all of their DC sets, including the 2017 sets, and I think they are still on top.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"49\">This was evident in Wonder Woman Warrior Battle.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"48\">This was a great deal at $30!<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"66\">The\u00a0Wonder Woman\u00a0figure appeared to be the same as the one in Batman vs Superman and the\u00a0discussed\u00a0Justice League sets.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"52\">The printing was quite similar.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"55\">The hairpiece was the same length and had the same beautiful dual-sided expression.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"53\">The older version had almost identical printing on her torso.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"58\">The only difference was that the base used a lighter tone of red than the darker.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"54\">She is still one of DC&#8217;s most beloved minifigures.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"56\">She also came with her printed arms, just like the previous version.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"60\">Her legs are a continuation of the excellent detail on her torso.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"65\">LEGO chose to use a baby-blue base for her shorts this time instead of a darker tone.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"59\">Yes, the legs had dual moulding and printing on all sides.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"61\">This is what I hoped LEGO figures would adhere to.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"71\">To match her appearance in other scenes, there was an additional dark blue cape and hood, as well as her iconic sword &amp; printed shield.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"64\">Steve Trevor, her love interest in film, was the second minifigure.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"76\">He wore a black Superman hairpiece and had a double-sided face print which didn&#8217;t fit the minifigure.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"63\">This face print was funny to me.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"77\">It&#8217;s impossible that the designers could have given him this faceprint without knowing what I&#8217;m about tell you.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"69\">The same face print was used for Steve Trevor, aka Captain America.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"81\">Both the Steves from Marvel &amp; DC received the exact same face prints, which is hilarious but disappointing as both actors are not the same.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"73\">His torso was perfectly proportioned for the movie and he didn\u2019t get leg printing.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"75\">As an accessory for piloting the plane, LEGO provided him with a helmet and goggle attachment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"80\">LEGO does not make many military vehicles, so it was a great idea to have a LEGO official warcraft.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"70\">Although it didn&#8217;t require too many pieces, it was stunning!<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"72\">It was stunning with its dark tan color scheme and blue accents.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"74\">The propeller was spinning, and there were two stud shooters in the front.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"67\">Steve could fit in one of the seats.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><\/h5>\n<p><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"68\">Ares was just as amazing.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"78\">This build was inspired again by the Ant-Man huge build from Civil War Line.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"79\">It was exactly the same as a minifigure, but larger.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"83\">His amazing face print&#8217;s headpiece was created with clever use of teeth and other pointed pieces.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"89\">Many stickers were given to him to add detail to his legs and torso.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"84\">His arms could be moved in many different ways because they were both on ball joints.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"88\">His legs were able to move exactly like a LEGO minifigure.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"85\">Finally, he received a large shield and sword.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"96\">This set was so underrated by LEGO. It reinforces my point about how well LEGO did with DCEU sets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"90\">Parts of DC Comics Super Heroes Build Your Own Adventure (11914).<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"100\">We finally found\u00a0John Stewart Green Lantern\u00a0LEGO form in a book called &#8216;Build your Own Adventure&#8217;.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"95\">His face print was amazing, and he had a green glow in his eyes.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"94\">Both his torso as well as legs were printed and were new.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"97\">The Green Lantern Jet\u00a0was really beautiful for the small pieces it used.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"91\">It featured an opening cockpit, and two stud shooters.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"87\">This was an incredible parts pack.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"86\">The figure is definitely something I want to own.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"82\">Vixen<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"103\">Another exclusive SDCC figure was released in 2017 featuring one of our\u00a0LEGO DC Arrowverse\u00a0characters.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"104\">Vixen&#8217;s\u00a0overall appearance, torso, and leg printing perfectly matched her appearance on the show.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"101\">She was an interesting figure overall, but it&#8217;s a shame she wasn&#8217;t more widely known.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"93\">This concludes this article.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"106\">At the beginning of this article, I promised that I would reveal the movie that sparked DC\u2019s greatest wave ever in Part 2.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"102\">The Flying Fox caused the article schedule to be pushed back by one week.
