LEGO® Marvel™ Super Heroes pose on mini Walk of Fame outside Hamleys, London

Spider-Man, Iron Man, Wolverine, Thor, The Hulk, Captain America and friends cast their hands in concrete outside Hamleys, the finest toy shop in the world, to celebrate the newLEGO® Marvel™ Super Heroes

11 LEGO minifigures posed for photographers and members of the public as the Mini Walk of Fame was installed outside the flagship London toy store.

In LEGO Marvel Super Heroes players take on the role of their favourite Marvel characters like Spider-Man, Iron Man, Wolverine, Thor, Captain America and the Hulk, as they assemble to battle against some of the most menacing Marvel Super Villains, including dastardly Doctor Octopus, the ghastly Green Goblin, the ruthless Red Skull, the vicious Venom, Thor’s vexing brother, Loki, as well as the Devourer of Worlds, Galactus.

Players will unlock more than 100 playable characters, including Mystique, Elektra, Mandarin, Silver Samurai, Malekith, Aldrich Killain or Super-Skrull. Players can also choose from a plethora of magnificent bonus hero characters, such as the heroic Guardians of the Galaxy, the Punisher, Captain Britain, Squirrel Girl and Deadpool.

“The LEGO minifigures are the real super heroes of the game,” said Spencer Crossley, Sales and Marketing Director, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment UK. “Celebrating them with their own ‘walk of fame’ is a really fun way of recognising their status as some of the most loved characters in the world.”

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes: Universe in Peril for the Nintendo 3DS™ handheld system and PlayStation®Vita handheld entertainment system is also available.
