Update: Lego Dimensions is coming to just about every gaming platform in September, and will see the Lego brand assimilate yet more icons from popular culture. We've already seen that Portal, The Simpsons and Back To The Future are among the additional packs planned for the forthcoming toys-to-life game, and at Comic-Con in San Diego, it's the turn of Doctor Who to get its turn in the spotlight. The show will be getting its very own Doctor Who pack, which, judging from both the trailer below and some fresh details emerging from Comic Con (thanks, Gamespot), the Who-centric expansion sounds far more extensive than we might have expected. For one thing, every incarnation of the Doctor will be playable in the game; you'll cycle through each one as you die in the game. Peter Capaldi, the latest Doctor, will provide his voice and likeness, and will be joined by Jenna Coleman (the Doctor's latest assistant, Clara) and Michelle Gomez (Missy). Cybermen, Daleks and K-9 will be playable characters in the game, and will be purchasable as Minifigs.
The cutest thing of all? The TARDIS itself will change depending on which Doctor you're controlling, and there's even a jukebox on board where you can choose your favourite version of the Doctor Who theme. With the game populated with things like that, it's hard not to warm to Lego's latest videogame venture, even if we will have to pay what might add up to a fair bit of cash to acquire it all: the Lego Dimensions Starter Pack will include a Doctor Who level, but there's also a Doctor Who Level Pack which includes a 12th Doctor Minifig, a TARDIS and K-9, and a Doctor Who Fun Pack, which adds a Cyberman Minifig and Dalek model. Here's the charming new trailer: Lego Dimensions is out on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and Wii U on the 29th September. Update 17/06/15: We heard about a month ago that a Portal pack is coming to the forthcoming toys-to-life opus Lego Dimensions, though at the time we had no idea how Valve's mind-bending spacial puzzler would fit into Warner's forthcoming action-fest.
The answer is: far better than we could have predicted. All cynicism about the money-spinning properties of these post-Skylanders games aside, this really does look like a great mash-up of Portal and other pop-culture properties swept into Lego's playful maelstrom. So what we get is a brick-built version of Portal, complete with puzzles and a cute version of GLaDOS, but with added Batman, Gandalf and Homer Simpson. It really does look like a lot of fun. Update 11.05.15: Leaked reports that Portal, Jurassic World, Doctor Who and The Simpsons characters are set to appear in Lego Dimensions have now been confirmed - there are pictures and everything. On Lego's website (as discovered by Brickset), level and team packs, which will expand the scope of the forthcoming toys-to-life game Lego Dimensions, suddenly appeared, providing a first look at what the minifigures will look like. Once again, the information seems to have been leaked by accident; the images below all came from an instruction booklet, published in pdf form and then hastily taken back down again.
Fortunately for us, Brickset managed to grab some images from the booklet before it was removed, and, as is the way with the internet, the news has rapidly spread (thanks, Videogamer). Each one seems designed to get geeks in a lather n the internet; there's a minifig version of Peter Capaldi's incarnation of the Doctor, Marty McFly's DeLorean, a miniature Chris Pratt from Jurassic World, and Chell from the Portal games. There's also Homer Simpson clutching a can of Duff, plus Shaggy, Scooby and the Mystery Machine. Brickset also has some images of other characters coming out for Lego Dimensions soon, including Wonder Woman, Bart Simpson and the Wicked Witch of the West out of The Wizard Of Oz. Original story 05.05.15: Last month, Warner Bros unveiled Lego Dimensions, a Skylanders-like toys-to-life venture which marries physical minifigures and models with a new videogame. Characters from the likes of Lord Of The Rings, Back To The Future and The Lego Movie have already been confirmed, as the first trailer featured such characters as Batman, Gandalf and Wyldstyle.
Thanks to some information accidentally published by US retail giant Walmart (and spotted by the eagle-eyed Brick Inquirer), we now know that Valve's classic puzzler Portal is also joining the Lego Dimensions universe. This backs up earlier speculation that the barely-seen protagonist of that game, Chell, was among a number of characters seen in a blurry line-up of forthcoming figures: The listing has since been removed from Walmart's site, but the cat's portal jumped its way out of the bag; thanks to the leaked info, we now know there will be plenty more characters in the offing as well, with expansion packs adding characters from things like Jurassic World, The Simpsons and Scooby-Doo. Given that Valve isn't exactly rushing to get Portal 3 into shops, the game's appearance in Lego Dimensions could be a welcome stop-gap. As we've previously heard, getting into Lego Dimensions will come with a hefty price tag; the starter pack's set to retail for £99.99, while the additional fun packs, level packs and team packs will cost anywhere between £14.99 and £29.99.
All told, buying the complete set of Lego Dimensions stuff announced so far could amount to about £350. In fairness, the clamour over Nintendo's own toys-to-life line, amiibo, has become so over-heated that collecting a complete set of those figures could cost you a small fortune - assuming you're willing to pay the ridiculously high prices sought by sellers on eBay, that is. While the Lego Portal expansion hasn't been formally announced as yet, that it was listed by Walmart as a "Level Pack" - which means it should come with a minifigure, two models and an add-on level for the game - indicates that it'll retail for £29.99.
