Is it possible to find the transcript of the interview with Mark Stafford from Minisuperheroestoday?  🤔

Sure, but it's a kids' toys company first and foremost. 

Parents trust they will deliver products appropriate for children, and LEGO plans on doing just that, whether we AFoLs like it or not.

Can I ask why you don't want Deadpool sets? Or are you just convinced that they won’t make them to lower the expectations? Sorry I’m just curious

I would sacrifice a mortal soul for more Deadpool sets.

But my subjective needs don't correlate with objective facts in this case. Deadpool is an R-rated property, which LEGO simply doesn't even consider making sets based on.

Thanks for clarifying.

Yes as much as I want those sets Lego may just simply not produce them…

2024 Modular X-Mansion, with Deadpool and Wolvie ? There you got your 18+ (Because 2023 would bé too early with a summer release)

[Mandalorianknight]

I'm sure we'll get a wolveriene and I'm not sure we won't get a deadpool, but what we definately won't see is a set based on the movie. My bet is comic-based characters in a X-men branded set, maybe more movie-styled (but still not stated by lego to be movie based) figures in an 18+ set like avengers tower or something.

A Xmen mansion would be amazing one day but Marvel will hold off on allowing that until the Xmen are in the films a bit more. Xmen Hatley castle would be amazing as a set tbh. I made a city scale one. Would love to see one with much more budget behind it!

This would be so ideal. Nothing against MCU content but I have a massive comic preference and I was concerned we would only get MCU variants of the Fantastic Four or X-Men once they made their debut so this would actually be perfect for me. The 90’s yellow looks were so appealing to me even if the movies get so close I’d rather have them comic based to  avoid being stuck with any design I disagree with.

 

Rewatching reviews of the Daily Bugle I’m even more shook Lego choose to do a Black Panther vehicle for this years D2C. People were clamoring for expansions to NYC which I guess we did get in the form of the Daily Bugle this year, but the $500 set felt like an opportunity to capitalize on the demands for Stark Tower/Avengers Tower, the Baxter Building or Oscorp. I actually do think all those choices make more sense. Also considering a huge criticism of the DC sets are that they are just black vehicles, Lego should have known an oversized black ship would not be as marketable as a building with comic relevance. Again maybe they did not want to do 2 buildings in one year given the release of the Sanctum but you have to think the company was at least aware it was a risk.

Hopefully they make some X-Men 97 sets and they can just throw in a comic Deadpool

He might even pop up in the show, he had a couple of non speaking cameos (ironic, but also interesting as he debuted in comics one year before the show began) in the original. Maybe now he's a household name he could have at least a single episode appearance

Unless I missed something, we don't have any confirmation that the D2C is a Black Panther vehicle. Right now it still seems most likely to be a Hulkbuster.

$14.99 Deadpool mech set with a comic-accurate minifig, boom problem solved. 

Afterall, Deadpool has also appeared in a number of Marvel's children's cartoons over the years, there's no reason why both the kid-friendly and not so kid-friendly versions of characters can't exist simultaneously. Look no further than a character like the Joker. In some versions, he is a moustache-twirling, silly Batman villain and other times he is a very violent, sadistic, dark character. LEGO has no problem selling Joker minifigs as long as they are the former rather than the latter... except for when they made 2 Heath Ledger Joker figures....

LEGO isn't exactly consistent with these rules, people. Yes, The Dark Knight was not rated R like The Joker was which is why we would never get THAT version of the Joker but it was still a very violent, dark, sadistic take on the character that was not exactly kid-friendly. They aren't always consistent with how they apply their rules on what they're willing to make sets and figures based on.

They are consistent tho — PG-13 (TV-14 / PEGI 16) is as far as they go.

Sure, The Batman or The Dark Knight are darker than your average CBM, but they are both PG-13. It's an objective number that LEGO follows. If Deadpool 3 was PG-13, we'd get sets for it. It isn't tho, which means no sets.

[NoOneOfImportance]

I would honestly expect to see some comics-based set with Deadpool in it, but I highly doubt we will see a set based on the movie. Maybe an 18+ mask for Deadpool, but probably not an MCU figure until he inevitably appears in some PG-13 MCU film. 

[Falconfan1414]

My bet would be in 2024 we at the very least get a Deadpool figure

[kevkipo]

Sure would be nice to have a way to fill in all the missing spots right now :/ All the D+ characters we missed. It feels so weird to just skip out on all of them.

[cosmic]

The side of my deadpool figures torso is cracking so I would love to get an update next year. This movie being rated R is also a blessing because we’d likely get a comic tie in rather than a directly movie based set. it’d be cool if Domino or some other X Force character also appears in whatever set Deadpool ends up being in.

While I wouldn’t necessarily want a Deadpool mech, or any of the mechs for that matter, it’d be nice to get him in a set that cheap.

oh, and squirrel girl :p

In an interesting turn of events, Armor Wars will now no longer be a series, but a movie

Which means considering the amount of armoured characters, and likely mech potential, LEGO will have a field day making sets for this one

Right, I would never expect LEGO to make sets based on an R rated movie. I was addressing people who were saying that because there are R rated movies featuring Deadpool, we can't or won't get anymore Deadpool minifigs, comic versions or otherwise.

[Fenghuang0296]

I would unironically love to get a Deadpool Mech, personally. 

[Scarilian]

Comic Deadpool paired with the recent comic Wolverine from the mech in a set would probably be the easiest way to go. Armor Wars being a movie means a higher chance of seeing sets for it. We originally had a remark about a lot of new suits being introduced. Nearly at October, so hopefully we won't have to wait until November to see the D2C.
