It appears that MegaBloks has the license to produce sets based upon the
movie version of the C.S. Lewis book, ‘The Lion, the Witch, and the
Wardrobe’ coming in December.

No details yet.
Thanks to JakeSnicket from FBTB for the link.

Jeez Louise, that’s unexpected. Or maybe not, since the film is coming out.
Any idea if the license includes the films (as in the case of the Marvel
license) or applies only to the books?
Wild stuff. Thanks for the news!
Dave!

Well, since Disney is behind the film and the link leads to “the official
Disney Comsumers Products licensee list”, I’ll step out on a limb and say the
license is for the film. ;)

My question is, what form will the set/s take? When Pokemon
was a huge craze, MegaBloks came out with 2 whole mosaics. And their current
Star Trek license consists of 1 Probuilder kit. Will MegaBloks take that route
or will they come out with a full blown minifig theme. I hope the latter (and
with less juniorization than say, the Dragons theme).
|
That’s a good question. The current Poke-ball sets seem like a better swipe at
the Poke-fad, but they’re like five years after the fact, aren’t they? Those
mosaic sets totally missed the mark, IMO.
As far as the Star Trek deal goes, I wonder if the license was only for that
ship, rather than for the product line as a whole? Heck, at the very least,
they could have released six Enterprise models (well, probably five, since the
1701 and 1701 aren’t all that distinct from each other, at least not in
pixellated block form!) They could even have done the TOS and TNG models, if
nothing else. This strikes me as another missed opportunity.
I’m not greatly interested in Narnia, to tell the truth. I have problems with
CS Lewis on the whole, but the series just doesn’t thrill me. Still, if the
sets are on par with the current Marvel offerings or the
forthcoming Pyrates,
then I’ll probably pick up a few, if only for the parts.
Dave!
