LEGO Teams Up with DC Super Hero Girls

LEGO, together with Warner Bros. Consumer Products and DC Entertainment, revealed today their first six sets inspired by the incredibly popular DC Super Hero Girls.

DC Super Hero Girls is an interactive website that includes an animated web series featuring iconic female DC characters attending high school and learning to use and control their powers. There is currently a line of Mattel products — dolls and action figure sets — based on the series, as displayed at the Toy Fair this past February. (Also, pretty much the only thing I bought at SDCC was the Katana doll.) Now LEGO will be adding to the market with a variety of minidolls and building sets.

“Together with our long-standing partners at the LEGO Group, we’re excited to bring DC Super Hero Girls to life in LEGO form,” said Kelly Gilmore, Senior Vice President of Global Toys for Warner Bros. Consumer Products. “Capturing these strong, brave and powerful characters and empowering storylines, children around the world can now work on their super building powers as they play and rebuild together with their favorite DC Super Hero characters.”

Jill Wilfert, Vice President of Licensing and Entertainment for LEGO, said:

We are really thrilled to bring to life the combination of teamwork, fun and action-packed missions found in this DC Super Hero universe on our LEGO minidoll platform. The DC Super Hero Girls story translates so well into construction play, inspiring great vehicles and structures with surprising features that, together with the DC Super Hero Girls characters, provide hours of creative building and role play fun.

The new LEGO collection will feature eleven iconic characters including: Wonder Woman, Batgirl, Supergirl, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, Bumblebee, Flash, Eclipso, Lena Luther, Lashina and Mad Harriet.

The product launch was originally scheduled for January 2017, but LEGO is taking the opportunity to capitalize on the holiday season and is releasing three of the six sets next month. The other three will debut in January 2017 as planned, and additional sets will launch globally in August 2017.

All six sets will be displayed this weekend at New York Comic Con, at the LEGO booth on the convention floor (#1336). In addition, NYCC attendees will be able to view life-sized LEGO models of Supergirl and Harley Quinn — each over 5′ tall — as well as a massive tryptic LEGO mosaic built from LEGO bricks featuring Bumblebee, Wonder Woman, and Batgirl. Plus there will be a daily giveaway of the new LEGO Batgirl minidoll. To secure an opportunity to receive the special LEGO DC Super Hero Girls giveaway, show attendees with a 4-Day Fan badge, 3-Day Fan Badge or Single Fan badge should head to the back of Hall 1E for a 12:30pm drawing. There will be one drawing per person, per day. Prizes will be awarded onsite.

Fans who are not attending New York Comic Con have a chance to win the exclusive LEGO DC Super Hero Girls Batgirl giveaway via Twitter by following @LEGO_Group and the hashtag #LEGONYCC.
