First it was stickers instead of printing on parts. Then it was reusing the same unisex torso for every character. Now we gotta think of new ways to screw ourselves over. SMH, Lego has really gotten lazy. Quote

I don't mind the unisex torso, if they were gonna do another torso print if have gone for a red or orange one for Johnny so he could be in Human Torch mode. I mean I'd have that over giving reed his different neck! Quote

I mean I'd have that over giving reed his different neck! Honestly, I just find all the figures in that set to be underwhelming, at best. I’m not a fan of the live action designs to begin with. The lines make it look like the team is wearing sweaters, and the Lego print only makes that worse. The blue is too light, IMO. And I don’t like how the amount of white isn’t consistent across every team member. Lego also just chose the laziest way to capture each member. Reed should have had either those rubber arms or the longer Avatar arms and legs. Sue should have had a unique female torso. Johnny should definitely have been in flame-on mode. Those hands do not work for The Thing and I can’t say I’m a fan of the full costume for him. The trunks alone really conveyed his massive size and how abnormal he was. Hopefully we get comic based versions of the 4 sometime in the near future. I’m not a fan of the MCU costumes in general, especially when they get translated into Lego, and these are no exception. And before anyone points it out, yes I am aware this is the DC thread. But there’s nothing to discuss except a Schumacher Batmobile that appeals to no one and an Arkham set that won’t leak for a couple of months. Quote

For how much they charge for lego, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect Sue's torso to be different from even a depowered Johnny, not to mention a guy literally made of rocks. Those three do not look the same in those costumes. 10 hours ago, psqidexslizer said: First it was stickers instead of printing on parts.

The year is 2030. I awaken in the dark, cold alone and frightened. My hands restrained by cold metal rings fastening me to the table below. They can move very little, but it is enough to feel the scar on my side. Must have been a kidney; my liver was taken a month ago. I cry out in the darkness for answers. A raspy voice replies. “Don’t you remember? You clicked on the Batman tab on Lego shop at home.” “Don’t you mean Lego DC?” Then, it begins, that terrible tsking of tongue on teeth. “Seems we took a bit too much off the top.” Quote
BatDeanj Posted June 5 Posted June 5 If its coming out on September 9th. when will the official reveal likely be 9th august? Quote

Most D2C sets are officially revealed two weeks out, some less. It’ll probably be sometime between August 25th and September 1st. Lego also sometimes reveals these sets at big events, like SDCC, or to coincide with important days. I also find the September 9th date interesting since Batman day is the 20th of that same month. Kinda surprised Lego wouldn’t just release it then. Quote

Ooh, maybe the date is a hint at the other characters. The 9th. Cats have 9 lives. Catwoman is included. September. Earth, Wind, and Fire did a song called September. Poison Ivy, Kite Man, and Firefly. Date clues = Calender Man Riddles = Riddler It does not release on Batman day. Maybe Batman isn’t included?! So the minifigure line-up so far is: KG Beast, Catwoman, Poison Ivy, Kite Man, Firefly, Riddler, and Calendar Man. Quote

A 30 year old film that has, at best, a cult following, but is otherwise pretty universally seen as the second worst Batman film ever made. (I say this as someone who likes the film and would put it over Batman ‘89, The Dark Knight Rises, and The Batman. So even as maybe one of this films biggest defenders, I am baffled.) And the Batmobile is out of scale with both the minifigure scaled Batmobiles AND the UCS Batmobiles, making it an easy skip for anyone looking to complete either of those collections. And it only includes one minifigure, so it’ll be hard for minifigures collectors to justify picking it up. Plus, it’s the only Schumacher Batman movies minifigure ever released, so it’s not like it would even goes towards completing a collection of those characters. (A collection that is unlikely to ever be completed to anyone’s satisfaction, btw, since I can’t imagine we’ll see even the main characters all made in LEGO form. So it’s not like many people who actually are fans or completists would want to pick this up to start that collection). Greenlighting this set and not making a single set for the new Superman movie may just be one of the most bizarre decisions Lego has ever made. Edited June 10 by psqidexslizer Quote

DaredevilFan Posted June 10 Posted June 10 Gunn has confirmed they’re working on a new Wonder Woman movie and he’s working on a ‘kinda sequel to superman’. So looks like worlds finest is gonna happen 😃 with it being Batman that should at least get us some sets. Also depending on villain could be some new characters Quote
