Comic-Con gets new LEGO Captain America

Brian Truitt | USA TODAY

Marvel Comics has a new Captain America so of course he's going to need his own LEGO minifigure.

A little building-block version of Sam Wilson, the former Falcon and current shield-slinging superhero clad in red, white and blue, will be available for attendees at San Diego Comic-Con (July 8-12). He's free but there's a catch — the limited-edition figure can only be obtained during daily drawings Thursday through Saturday of Comic-Con.

This isn't Sam Wilson's first LEGO rodeo. A mini toy version of Falcon, played in the Marvel movies by Anthony Mackie, first appeared in the "Hulk Lab Smash" building set released last year.

In addition, LEGO is offering an exclusive Comic-Con-only "Throne of Ultron" set, inspired by a scene from the movie sequel Avengers: Age of Ultron, at the event for $39.99. The company will also have on hand — but not for purchase — a buildable First Order Stormtrooper from Star Wars: The Force Awakens available to fans in January as well as a life-sized version at its booth in the San Diego Convention Center.
