Supergirl Movie: Lobo's Spacehog Revealed in New Toyline

A new toyline associated with the upcoming Supergirl movie has given fans their first detailed look at Lobo’s Spacehog, his signature vehicle. The reveal offers exciting insights into the character’s integration into the film’s narrative.

First Look at the Spacehog Design

The Spacehog, not originally featured in early iterations, is showcased in a recent video highlighting its design. This version boasts a unique configuration with a larger rear wheel and a smaller front wheel, creating a low-profile aesthetic.

Key Design Elements

  • A pointed front grill adorned with a skull, a recurring motif in Lobo’s comic book appearances.
  • A rising plate extending upwards into long handlebars.
  • Iconic rocket engines positioned on either side of the rear wheel.

This marks the second Spacehog created by McFarlane Toys, with the first version closely mirroring a prominent comic book iteration. The Spacehog’s design has evolved over time, consistently featuring large rear engines and a skull design.

Color Scheme and Potential Transformation

The toy is predominantly black with grey accents. While box art and promotional materials suggest bronze or copper tones may be present in the final movie version, the toy itself appears to be a single tone of black. It’s possible the box art depicts a marketing variation or a potential transformation.

Speculation exists regarding a possible transformation for the Spacehog, potentially allowing it to adapt to both ground-based and more traditional, comic-accurate flight configurations. This could offer the best of both worlds in terms of design and functionality.

Implications for the Movie

The meticulous detail of the toy suggests a commitment from the filmmakers to honor Lobo’s character and the Spacehog’s legacy. The Spacehog serves as a visual representation of Lobo’s personality and role within the story. This release is exciting news for fans anticipating Lobo’s appearance in the Supergirl movie.
