Atlantis Helm & Armor: Good for Castley MOCs

Post by Username »

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but here is a warrior sea creature from an upcoming Atlantis Portal set. Thought the armor would be good to use for Ancient or Fantasy MOCs. Too bad he isn't more widely available:

I could see that armor, helm and trident put with these pieces to form some cool gladiator types:

I would imagine that it will become more common with the following wave of Atlantis sets.
It will be exclusive to the Portal set for this wave, but once the characters reach Atlantis, it makes sense to assume that it will be present on a lot more included minifigures.

Well, let's hope they come out with a third Atlantis wave of these guys (impulse!).

Those do look like they'll have potential.

I think there must be some Warcraft fans on the Lego design team. These remind me of the Naga and the fantasy line reminded me of Warcraft 3.

I think he meant the legs with the red bikini bottom. That's from princess Leia in the start of the last movie, where she's a captive of Jabba. She's a yellow fig in the jabba's palace set and a fleshy fig in the sail barge set.

I've seen that figure earlier and it looks really good, not the only new helm were getting this year. Were also getting the great helm and a spartan/greek from the minifig impulses, this looks like a good year. :)

Agreed!

I'm happy to see this - some of my custom baddies have great faces but terrible helmets and armor... this will do quite nicely! :) Many thanks for pointing it out...

I think that the trident should´ve been a bit longer, but except for that...

ORC!!

That helm and armor would look good on an orc...

Looking at that closely, I can point out what looks like an orc's face from the fantasy era. It has the same eyes and teeth as the Castle orcs.

Eh? The eyes are completely different and there is no way teeth are showing.

I'm suprised that it actually is a new helmet and armour. Usually for things like this in non-castle sets there is a castle peice that doesn't really fit in with the theme. And as Albatross Viking said, the trident could have been a bit longer, otherwise nice.

The new helmet and armor are just awesome! My wallet is trembling already...
To those who are about to Lego: toss me a few bricks.
