With the abundance of superheros films launched this summer and even more to come, it’s clear that being a comic book geek is cool. LEGO Super Heroes is a new collection that the toy company is launching next year and both Marvel and DC are a part of it. Faces you can look forward to from Marvel includes Spiderman, Iron Man, Hulk and the wise-cracking Deadpool. On the other half of the spectrum, you’ll see Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Joker and of course the Dark Knight himself, Batman. I haven’t bought LEGO in a long time but with this release, I’m going to make my first purchase in years. Get a sneak peek at the LEGO Super Heroes at San Diego Comic Con. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **LEGO Super Heroes:** Opportunity to capitalize on the growing popularity of comic book movies and superheroes by creating LEGO sets featuring popular characters from Marvel and DC universes. - **Bricked Comic Figurines:** Potential to disrupt the collectible figurine market by offering LEGO versions of beloved comic book characters. - **Crossover Collaborations:** Opportunity for LEGO to collaborate with other industries, such as film studios, to create unique and collectible LEGO sets based on popular franchises. ### Where This Applies - **Toy Manufacturing:** Toy companies can leverage the demand for comic book characters and superheroes to create LEGO sets that appeal to both children and adults. - **Entertainment Merchandise:** Companies specializing in creating merchandise for movies and comic books can tap into the popularity of LEGO Super Heroes to expand their product offerings. - **Comic Book Collectibles:** Collectibles sellers and comic book shops can explore the potential of selling LEGO Super Heroes sets as a new and unique addition to their inventory. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Comic Book Hero Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comic-book-heros.md) - [Superhero-Themed DIY Art Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jim-lee-batman.md) - [3D Superhero Block-Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amazing-spiderman-set.md) - [Superhero-Themed Puzzled Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avengers-advent-calendar.md) - [Buildable 3D Superhero Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gotham-city-skyline-set.md) - [Hero-Inspired Armored Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hulkbuster.md) - [Fandom-Honoring Building Block Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fandomhonoring-building-block-sets.md) - [Film-Themed Building Block Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sactum-sactorum.md) - [Comic-Inspired LEGO Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-lord-lego-helmet.md)
