August.

More like an inferior version of Moon Knight  Yeah, a comic-based version would be new, but it‘d pale so badly in comparison to the CMF figure.

Buildings and location sets sound more appealing than the random made up vehicles they've been throwing out lately.

Indeed, about time they take full advantage of that! I do wish they‘d be a bit more consistent with them, rather than having an odd mixture of Spider-verse and comic-based locations that are supposedly compatible. Granted, they previously had a non-MCU expansion set to an MCU Hall of Armours, so that ideas‘s not unprecedented, but it’s still a bit odd.

Oscorp and the Iron Man 2 final battle set interest me the most 

August. Yesterday, I would’ve agreed, but the Iron Man 2 set lost all of its appeal to me with the drones being brick-built rather than minifigs. Gonna be some clunky oversized monstrosities

And I‘m not expecting anything exciting in the Oscorp set either. The minifigs are probably something like Gobbie, Norman (kitbashed), Harry (kitbashed), Venom, Peter, Spidey, May, and maybe MJ

Yup. My "Kaine, Daredevil, Moon Knight, Luna Snow" thing is a joke. It's pretty obvious it won't have a good figure selection, I'm expecting 1 or two new characters max. This actually puts the Anti-Venom in the mech in a different light for me since I assume they'll be re-using him here. Re-uses are necessary for modulars with 20+ figures, but when it's a $130 set and you only have 8 characters, it puts a bit of a damper on it.

I don't understand the strong desire for the minifigures we already have (also very beautiful). It would be better to have new stuff, right?

It's a comic based set, so the only one where we already have a version is Daredevil, where I do like the Bugle version but would love a more modern variation of the suit in dark red.  We don't yet have any Kaine or Luna Snow figures and Moon Knight has only had an MCU figure that sidestepped Phase 4's increased comic accuracy.

For me personally, I only collect comic inspired minifigures - so Moon Knight would be a new character for me! 

That's exactly what I mean- I thought the Moon Knight show was one of the better disney+ ones, but it's not comic moon knight, and the suit certainly isn't. The MCU moon knight suit immediately tells you "this man has Egyptian god based powers and a magic suit" not the comic one, which tells you "there is a very good chance this man is just insane."

And yeah, it'd be nice to get a version of daredevil in a set that's not $300. As much as I love the bugle's figure I also wouldn't mind a more modern version of the character with dark red.

I mean, that's only true if you like the MCU version of the suit or the character. The CMF figure is very detailed, yes, but I don't like that interpretation in any regard, so even a very simple comic version would be the superior figure to me, and I'm sure to others too.

If you're talking solely about the design, I hesitate to see how you could call the comic version inferior when they're different things. It'd be like saying that anyone who wants Cosmic Herald Thor wants an inferior version to the Love and Thunder suit- they're completely different costumes.

MCU moon knight is completely different (both in character and in design) to pretty much any comic version. It's Egyptian wrappings. Moon knight typically wears either the more standard cloth outfit or armor plates similar to netflix daredevil. It'd be like if MCU daredevil just straight up wore a boxing robe with a cowl and you tried to say the comic version was inferior- it's just not the same thing. Worse, actually-

With MCU moon knight specifically, the costume also helps remove one of the more interesting aspects of his character- the idea that, at least to the average hero or villain he runs into, they don't know if he's actually the fist of an Egyptian god or just insane. When someone magically generates Egyptian wrappings around them (much less when it transforms into a white business suit or tanks spears through the torso) you can pretty safely assume that they have some magic stuff going on. When a guy in white body armor and a cape tells you that an egyptian god is telling him who deserves divine vengeance it keeps that "does he actually have the patronage of a god or is he just crazy" aspect.

Exactly. But even putting aside that a comic version would be superior to a lot of people, it's just objectively a completely different style, like what I said above about Cosmic Herald Thor vs Love and Thunder Thor.

I‘m talking purely about the minifigs as such. You just know a comic-based version would have unprinted legs and likely the regular old hood piece

So by that logic would a comic version of anyone who's ever been in a CMF would be inferior? Should we not want comic versions of Falcon Cap/She Hulk/Photon/Scarlet Witch/White Vision/etc?

Like, for characters like Freefall hawkeye and Kate, sure, the CMF versions are pretty close to the comics they're representing. But I just don't get the logic of "you want a worse version of the character because it isn't a cmf" when it's a completely different outfit. Like again, the Herald Thor vs L&T thor example- I doubt they're slipping Herald Thor some leg printing but I don't see why that would be some sort of mark against getting him. Especially when most Moon Knights would probably be fine with plain white or black legs (depending on the suit).

I really don’t want to be on the side of Lego cutting corners and cheaping out on figures,  but, that’s pretty much just how Moon Knight looks. Not every figure needs leg printing and dual molding and new headpieces or else it’s Lego trying to screw over the consumer to save a couple bucks.

[doclord]

Random marvel buildings in a modular city is probably the only way we're going to get classic comic characters. Big fan of this approach.

Sometimes the best minifigures are the ones with the least amount of detail. Silver Age comic designs work because they strike the essence of the character, such is the same with a minifigure.

In this case, I love the CMF Moon Knight for all its detail, but a comic version wouldn’t hurt too much. It’s not something over which I’ll send MandoMoonKnight on a quest of vengeance, but for people who want something resembling the classic comics New York, they should have that option.

Yes, it‘d be a different version, but if I had to choose between a less detailed version of a character we had as a CMF before, and an new character altogether, I know what I‘d pick

Sure, I’m not saying every character needs that, but they probably wouldn‘t even reuse the CMF hood piece and weapons, which would make it a pretty big downgrade in my eyes  And those elements would also work for a comic version of him, no?

[Swordy]

If we get a new comic-based Cap, I’d love if they recoloured the MCU helmet in classic blue. That might have been my gripe with the previous comic Caps in the past.

Lack of Dedicated Spider-Verse sets in this wave means they might not do the CMF repeat cheaped out versions as much like they did with Wolverine from the last CMF.

Still thing SP//dR needs a build though since it wouldn't work in a CMF really.

[doclord]

I would also say that Moon Knight is one of those examples that's basically an entirely different character between the two versions. There's a few other examples in Marvel (see: White Tiger, of which there are several) where a comics version would make sense to do as you haven't scratched the itch properly.

Though as these mini-modulars all seem to be spider-focused, spidercharacters and villains are likely going to come before the Avengers and the Defenders. i would love to be proven wrong however, an Avengers Mansion or comics Sanctum facade would be amazing.

I feel like it means they WILL do that. Miles and Gwen from the Deli set both look like they are missing cmf prints.

My issue is that it's a "less detailed version" in that it's a completely different version. It's like saying luke's black jumpsuit is an inferior version of his robes at the start of ROTJ. It's just a separate thing.

Like, is comic Wanda inferior to the CMF version? I don't think you can really say it's a direct comparison because they're different costumes.

There's an existing crescent blade piece not from the CMF that works just fine, and many versions of Moon Knight would look fine with the ninjago dragons rising S1 hood.

The existing MK hood doesn't work purist because he doesn't have a crescent moon on his head in the comic. The only parts of CMF moon knight that also works for a comic one are the weapons and cape, so, the unprinted parts.

I would really like to start seeing some comic-based avengers designs pop up. Normal blue or even an azure/light blue Cap, Thor with helmet, normal red iron man (if the one from the new mech was normal red it'd work great), Scarlet Witch with bright red and pink, quicksilver with the lightning bolt, etc. Wouldn't even mind a purple Hawkeye. I think Black Panther is the closest, as his 2020 avengers figure is just missing a black cape to be the sick caped comic version. (Maybe DBG hands and boots?)

With how much lego loves mechs I'm shocked we haven't had a comic or ATSV SP//dR. Maybe now that Rivals has put her in a suit into the public consciousness instead of just civilian clothes, the odds are better? (I'm coping because I want rivals designs in sets) (Also the Rivals Sp//dr is too small for a lego version to be made that fits a figure so it wouldn't even really work in this context)

Yeah exactly. Wouldn't mind a comic Hector white tiger either, though I think they've missed their last chance as the character is about to get a very R-rated association.

As someone who's only familiar with Marvel through the MCU/Fox movies - one version of the characters is fine enough for me! I do know that there's some people out there that do really care about the different visual styles of the minifigs, but, as a more casual fan, I'm not too picky. I can just have an Iron Man, even though I have no idea what the Mark version if it is. Most of the dark blue Captain America suits look pretty much the same to me. I have a few one-off characters in my collection like White Tiger or Blade just because I think they look cool - I have no idea what their comic counterparts are like, nor if they're "accurate" to a particular depiction or not.

Maybe I'm just too much of a "casual" to have much to say in these conversations

Pretty sure a casual wouldn't know who Blade is or remember the Fox movies, you know more than the average joe walking into a movie I'd say

I’m calling foul on the no Ultron rumor. The whole reason the Quinjet was deployed in Seoul was to capture Ultron, so why exculde the main villian? Regardless, the AoU Quinjet sounds promising build-wise. I’m absolutely certain the set doesn’t come with just three figures; Hulk would have to be included in that case.

@Ashnflash said it did come with Ultron in his latest video. Like you, I'd be amazed if it didn't come in that set.

With Lego Marvel, hope for good, prepare for disappointment

BTW in ashnflash's video he said that the Endgame set could have more figures to be announced, hopefully Ronin PLEASE LEGO

[doclord]

minifiguremerc on instagram pointed out that the legs of the "comic ultron" are actually 1:1 the legs of AOU ultron. So if 1/3 of the figure exists he should be coming sooner than later.

 It's both funny and sad how many figures from the winter wave are cobbled together figbarf. At least Ultron looks good.

I know the leaker is saying the Oscorp set is comic based, but I feel there's a good chance that set and peter's apartment are actually based off new Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man animated series. That show looks like a comic book come to life and it revolves around Norman Osborn mentoring Peter Parker. Oscorp tower was already shown in trailer. LEGO made (3) sets for X-Men 97, so the animated Disney Plus show's are clearly on table for sets to be made. Only way it makes sense to me for LEGO to make these playscale location sets and they aren't 18+ modulars.

That would make sense. I think Daredevil is supposed to be in that show too so maybe we could get another minifig for him. Isn't Peter supposed to be a high school student in that show though? Or is he a college student with his own apartment?

If it is based off the show, the four heroes could be Spidey, black suit Daredevil, Dr. Strange, and one other. Scorpion is in the series, so I hope he’s included.

The apartment could be Aunt May’s.

You’re probably right, but just looking at the character designs from the concept art, I hope you’re not.

To be frank, Ashnflash says a lot of things in his videos to draw views. I don’t think he’s got any more of a legitimate source than those giving the rumors in the first place. Of course, I’d love to be proven wrong.

You forced them to recreate you as a minifigure? Without paying the $12 fee? That’s greedy.

I could see light medium blue working for Cap, so long as he has red boots to go with it. As for Iron Man, classic red and gold don’t mix well for his design, since the LEGO gold is too dark compared to the classic red. I feel an Iron Man using red and classic yellow would look better visually; even if you lose out on the metallic vibe, it worked well in the comics.

Hey, what’s wrong with purple and blue Hawkeye? That’s a legendary design and I will not hear otherwise.

Agreed on the rest. I gave BP from the 2022 mech just a spare Batman cape and he looks perfect.

I think you’re hitting on a key of good design: so long as it captures the essence of the character, that’s all that matters. It’s why I’m happy to see the FF in 2025 at all. I’ll probably buy comic versions should they release those minifigs later on, but I’m thrilled to see those characters finally acknowledged by TLG.

Now granted, I say that as someone who does really care about the difference between the suits film to film. (Placing a Mark 3 Iron Man or an AoU Cap in an 2012 The Avengers scene is blasphemous to me.) I simply appreciate strong minifig designs, whether it be from comics or movies.
