Generally the Avengers and Spider-Man sets stick to their corners of the universe. Plus I think we know the figures for the non-MCU august sets and neither include X-men characters. For Sunspot, far as I know he doesn't have a lot of crossover with either corner, and hasn't shown up in the spidey kiddie show they make 4+ sets for. Quote

Jessica drew would be similarly inclusive but, you know, actually was a character in the movie with lines and stuff. At the end of the day I don't think we can chalk that one up to the design team trying to be "inclusive", because even that wouldn't logically track with leaving Jessica out of the CMF. I’d actually say Cyborg Spider-Woman would be part of the “level out the genders” quota. As for Sun Spider, I was thinking along the lines of her using walking crutches as being the point of diversity. (She also had the line in the film, “Do you think we Spiders use comedy too much as a crutch? Get it, ‘crutch’?” Knowing that’s her whole shtick does not make that joke funny.) Agreed on your point on Jessica; I didn’t make that clear in the previous post.

I never thought Peni should be included in this CMF. She has far too plain of a design, and she needs a huge mech to go with her. Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t there a CMF series with a mountain bike included a while back? Jess’s bike doesn’t seem all too much bigger. Actually, the box design seems more apt for bikes or horses than the blind bags, so I believe there’s hope for Spider Horse. 10 hours ago, Renny The Spaceman said: Like it feels like some of these are them just wanting to do Spider variants of stock CMF archetype.

(Actually, out of the figs from just Series 1, a Spider-Wrestler would be peak.) 8 hours ago, Legocentrico said: Lego loves the “horror” theme and puts zombies, vampires and werewolves everywhere. Personally I am happy with this minifigure, it will expand my Halloween collection That’s true, but the Werewolf by Night minifig was one of the less popular from Marvel Series 2, so I think it’s a poor choice to do another werewolf so soon. 12 hours ago, BrickBob Studpants said: more Spider-verse sets are surely coming next year!

We would be best to treat these sets as the only way to have LEGO Spider-Verse until BtSV. A couple thoughts of speculation on the Spider-Verse CMF (and yes, I’m assuming the current list is accurate): I wanna see a trophy/micro-fig of LEGO Spider-Man with any of the Spider-Society members. Like to see Miguel O’Hara with a Lyla hologram, vinyl-transparent cape, and maybe a hex-portal? I’ll say again that I’d love to see a casual-attire Gwen from AtSV for variety’s sake. Will Spider-Punk be the absolute perfect minifig out of this series? …yes. Baby Mayday is the little addition Peter B. needs, and she’s the hero we deserve. Not to speak anything into existence, but remember that Marvel Series 2 was the guinea pig for blind boxes over blind bags. I could see TLG using a Spider-Verse CMF similarly if they have another controversial move up their sleeve. Just something to keep in mind. Disappointed to learn it’s Miles Prowler and not ItSV. :( Quote

LEGO cannot afford to make a CMF series just for superfans, it has to have wider appeal. Which means fun and visually appealing designs trump plot relevance. Like Ballerina and Lobster-Lovin' Batman. I still think Lego should have gone with a Spider-Man CMF series based on all the movies. Featuring characters from the Sam Raimi films and the ASM movies too, now that we know only Spider-Man 2 is getting a set. I think that would hold more mass appeal than the rather niche characters and designs included in this upcoming CMF. 4 hours ago, hikouki said: Is it possible to see any X-man in an upcoming non-X-Men set? I agree with Mandolarianknight that it's unlikely. Only Iceman had a chance with the Spider-Man connection. There are several X-Men characters who have been part of the Avengers over the years in the comics, including Sunspot, but considering we haven't gotten comic versions of so many iconic Avengers, it's unlikely we'd get Sunspot over them.

There is no guarantee, but there‘s also nothing stopping them from releasing another ITSV/ATSV set next January Doomsday and Spidey [insert Home wordplay here] will undoubtedly dominate next year‘s movie sets, but there still has to be a January wave, plus some August sets that have nothing to do with either movie. As I said, we don‘t need a ton of sets to cover the basics of ITSV and ATSV, one or two each would suffice if they handle it right! Quote

There are SO MANY spiders within the film who either have lines, some level of screen focus, or are just cameos but have real significance in the comics or other media. The choices they ended up making are really obscure. Web-slinger's at least been involved in the comic events, but Right? Like even if we assume they couldn't choose Ben, Jess or any of the main characters from the first film someone like the 60s Spider-Man who has an actual joke in the film, or Spider UK who has both a line and is important in the comics + is the version that's a Muslim woman so would also be diverse. Just seems like really poor choices, I really don't see how hyper niche Spiders appeal to the general audience more than characters they remember in the movie. As you've said, it'd be different if we could feel any confidence they'd do these characters later but I kinda doubt it Quote

I doubt I've heard any of his music besides whatever was in the film, but he had an interesting design and I actually laughed at his joke, so I wouldn't have minded his inclusion, especially if Ben and Jess were also in the series. $5.99 pricepoint incoming Welp, moving Prowler from the "weird to have only one character not a spider but at least it's a cool figure" to the "waste of a slot" category. I'm sure the design'll end up changing a bit in Beyond anyway, so it's not even like it helps much for that. 3 hours ago, Renny The Spaceman said: As you've said, it'd be different if we could feel any confidence they'd do these characters later but I kinda doubt it Yeah I'd be surprised if we got the remainder of Miles' and Miguel's main ITSV/ATSV squads, much less anyone like Unlimited/Superior/Bagman.

If LEGO is still making Sony sets when the third film comes out then the hero characters are a given, assuming Jess is still important in three that's possible. Ben was just a gag character in 2 so idk if a line that had to redo Miles, Miguel, Gwen, Peter and half a dozen others + new characters would have room for him. Quote
Agent Kallus Posted February 24 Posted February 24 Sun, werewolf and cowboy I get but the cyborg spider-woman seems a bit too similar too the one coming in the book. This should be an opportunity for variety not repetition! Quote

Exactly. Even in terms of Spider-Man, we still don't have a proper 616 Gwen Stacy, Flash Thompson as Agent Venom, 616 Electro, or 616 Lizard. Or comic accurate versions of Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Vision, Black Widow, Wasp, Valkyrie, etc. Some of the characters you've mentioned like Silver Surfer, Colossus, Mystique, and Elektra got minifigures in the Lego Marvel Super Heroes video game which came out in 2013. It's been more than a decade and we still don't have any of those classic characters in physical form. We're only just getting the FF and they're still not technically comic accurate in their original blue/black costumes. Quote

Didn't want to be Debbie downer and come in complaining but wow I did not care for the rumored character list. I hadn't yet seen Across the Spiderverse so I assumed the designs would at least have some relevance to the comics and have some familiar faces. So I was kind of confused to see what mostly sounded like original designs, and googling some of these, I gotta say they're very stylized and would feel out of place in anything besides a Spiderverse display. Which I guess is good for people who want that. But I agree that there is a lot more material we have not yet tapped into that I would rather see in a cmd format. 616 Lizard is tricky because I actually think he would best be depicted as a big fig and there fore not applicable to a cmf setting. My delusional self still believes we may someday get Guardians of the Galaxy comic based sets and I figure Agent Venom will pop up there when that eventually happens. Also see Gwen showing up in a set rather than a cmf but I fear she won't get the leg printing she needs for her purple skirt unless she's a cmf figure so who knows. Spiderverse is having its moment and I think that's neat but I hope we eventually get a comic based Marvel cmf series. Wish they would bring back larger series, I remember being so excited about Disney 1 and Harry Potter 1 having more than 16 figures. I would say at least 16 would be good, that would be a "larger" series in a modern context because we only get 12 figure series nowadays. As mentioned there's a lot to choose from, Avengers, villains, Guardians and Inhumane in classic and contemporary designs, it would be great. Can you believe we have never gotten a single comic accurate Thor with a helmet/hair piece? Feels unreal to me, also kind of wishing they'd make a new Mjolner mould. The leather hooked latch at the bottom should be moulded on, and feel the square top bit should be bulkier than a standard hammer piece, possibly large enough to have lightning printed on it. Yeah, come to think of it, a comic accurate Thor with a new Mjolnir mould is a must have for an inevitable comic based cmf series. And finally seems Sunspots torso has leaked which is excited. Love the idea of a Sentinel being released and I hope Nightcrawler shows up as well. Just wishing the X-Jet had more than 4 seats now that we have all these team members. Wish they did at least 6.

The D&D set and CMF series were especially well-received not only because of the D&D IP but also because they could double as generic medieval fantasy which many AFOLs would like more of. The Cullen House works not only for Twilight fans but for those who would like LEGO to give us modulars in a more modern style. So I do think that the overlap here with, say, horror is intended to broaden the target group towards non-Spiderverse fans. Edited February 25 by brickbride Quote

Assuming the rumored CMF series is real, I think Lego based the choices more on what designs they thought would look most appealing as minifigures rather than which characters are the most relevant. And I think that makes sense from their POV because casual fans who buy the CMF probably won't recognize most of the rather niche and obscure Spider-Verse characters. So it makes sense from a marketing perspective to instead focus on Spider-Man variations who look interesting enough that casual fans who don't recognize them would still want to buy them. I'm also someone who hasn't seen the sequel. Lizard in the 60s Spider-Man comics was always rather human-scaled so I guess I still see him like that. In the decades since, he's definitely portrayed as being larger. And that must be why Lego Marvel Super Heroes also turned him into a bigfig. After I heard that the Daily Bugle originally was supposed to include mostly random civilians and Marvel put their foot down and said they all have to be existing characters from the comics, it makes sense as to why Gwen Stacy in that set looks nothing like herself. She was just a random blonde civilian who Lego ended up naming Gwen Stacy to comply with Marvel's rules. So we definitely need one of her in her iconic outfit from The Death of Gwen Stacy. But I agree that I can see her not being done well outside of a CMF series. Which tbh feels like the case for almost any minifigure now, especially after seeing how badly the X-Men characters were done who didn't show up first in the CMF. I wonder if it's Marvel that doesn't want a CMF series based on the comics, since they'd rather promote their new TV shows, or if it's Lego that feels the comic versions wouldn't be really relevant. The Classic Thor we did got was a horrible minifigure, even for the time it came out in. Lego Avengers features a proper Classic Thor with the Ragnarok character who had the molded helmet and hair. I'd like to see a version like that. But he's another perfect example of a minifigure that wouldn't really be done justice outside of a CMF series. Rebrickable has a MOC upgrade for the X-Jet which I think can end up fitting 10 minifigures inside instead of the original 4. Quote
calebcold3 Posted February 26 Posted February 26 Who said that we weren't getting a D2C this year? That's pretty big news but it's ok. At least my wallet for my LEGO budget this year is safe.

I'll def be attempting to complete the whole series but some of the choices like Sun Spider and Cyborg Spider Woman are head scratching. Quote

I agree the torso was probably fake, it certainly didn’t seem to be of the highest quality. But, unless I’m remembering this wrong, we also had that movie Flash torso leak close to a year (2022) before the set was supposed to release. Now, you could argue that The Flash set was originally supposed to release that year (2022) before the movie got delayed. But there was no way that set was in mass production when that piece leaked, especially since it seems the set was canned before that ever happened. But, even if that Sunspot torso is legitimate, I think we should keep in mind that the Lego designers for the X-Mansion confirmed minifigure designs for a lot of X-Men characters were made for the Mansion and they don’t know which, if any, will appear in future sets. So the torso could just be an unused design for that set which will never actually wind up in a set. Quote

I'd chalk that up to a test print that was made before the film was delayed. Quote
THELEGOBATMAN Posted February 26 Posted February 26 New details on the Spider-Man 2 set from Fateful: The set features a gray train car with windows and doors that Spider-Man tries to stop. It also includes tracks and a yellow buffer stop. Both Spider-Man and Doc Ock appear to reuse parts from previous minifigures and are not new. (But probably a new face print for Tobey?) Doc Ock is in a gray suit and has detailed tentacles on his back. Spider-Man also has a web that he uses to save a female passenger. The set includes Spider-Man, Doc Ock and 2–3 civilians. Quote
