Live from this past weekend's toy fair in New York City, LEGO has announced a line we certainly wouldn't have expected: LEGO Prince of Persia.
Set to launch in April 2010, the line of toys appears to be based off the upcoming Walt Disney Pictures and Jerrey Bruckheimer film, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. No details on what we can expect in the line, one can suppose it'll be blocky version of the film's stars, Jake Gyllenhaal, Ben Kingsley, and Alfred Molina.
The verdict is still out as to whether the film -- scheduled to hit in May 2010 -- is anything to be excited about. Outside of images of a shirtless Gyllenhaal, we haven't seen much. I'm waiting for a trailer to start coming to terms with my disappointment. But if the LEGO designs tie in with the game's to any extent whatsoever, these things they're trying to sell me? I just might buy 'em.

Keanu Reeves is Spike
Leonardo DiCaprio is Kaneda
When is this shit going to stop?
Agreed. Though I have to admit... Reeves does sorta look like what I'd expect Spike to look like in live action, I've gotta admit. >.<
Still, my son is going to see these in the store and ask me what the hell they are. Batman, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, as well as their other crazy lines like Pirates and space sets...he can identify.
He, just a thought...where's the Superman playsets? You'd think they'd be a no-brainer).
But, Prince of Persia? Kinda...strange...
I give the movie a 9.5, and I'm really mad at that poster on GameFaqs who thinks it only deserves a 7.
Seriously. I want to play a Lord of the Rings game that's fun.
