Marvel Superheroes 2025 - Rumors & Discussion

[Swordy]

Between runs to two different Target and the local LEGO Store, I found all nine minifigs I wanted! Both Target stores had the more sought-after characters, like Miguel O’Hara and Spider-Punk (both times with the latter, actually). I’m very thankful my hunt only lasted a day, and I wish everyone else good luck!

(For anyone curious, those nine were as follows: Prowler, Spider-Byte, Web-Slinger, Peter B. Parker, Spider-Gwen, Miles as Electro, Spider-Man 2099, Spider-Punk and Spider-Man India—the lattermost pair I grabbed duplicates of which as gifts to two of my family.)

Top three figures would have to be Spider-Punk, Miguel O’Hara, and Prowler, but I love them all. Each one are, dare I say, perfect as representations of their respective characters. A clear example that LEGO minifig designers can do above-and-beyond if given budget and authorization.
My only criticisms are that Spider-Punk’s hair is pushed too high up and needed to be fuller around the sides, Miguel’s hair is too bright, and figures like Spider-Gwen and Spider-India could’ve and should’ve had doubled-sided expressions for their masks.

One point I want to say is, as much as Miles is truly superfluous, in hand that blue electric print really pops, and might make him one of my favourites in the lineup.

Being the huge fan of Across the Spider-Verse I am, seeing each and every one of these characters given so great care brings me equally great joy. If one movie deserved a CMF, in my opinion, it was this one. All these years, after 2018 where we lamented no ItSV sets, then 2023 where LEGO seemingly ignored the movies again, to see this CMF two years later makes the long, long wait worth it.

I agree, the wait was well worth it!  Glad they were finally able to iron out the licensing issues, assuming that was reason we haven’t seen any Sony Marvel sets in over 20 years (besides the TASM 2 Electro polybag).

Fingers crossed for BTSV sets in 2027 and more Raimi sets too!

I was able to find all of the figs myself except for Spiderpunk and India. Ive been hearing everybody expects 2099 to be the chase, but in my experience its those two that everybody is grabbing. Is anybody seeing different?

 

Ngl it kills me that Target puts all their figs at checkout now. Every Walmart had their entire stock wiped out by one person, but I was able to find some at B&N.

I really do think the figs are 'well-made' in the sense that if you don't care for the characters themselves, there are many parts useful for minifig MOCs (although not to the level of the D&D). I ordered mine as a complete set online.

Agreed! BtSV sets are a sure bet at this point… right?  I also hold out hope to see something from ItSV; the most prominent missing minifigs, more than an anime schoolgirl that can be easily recreated, are Miles’ finale suit and the Prowler. (Trust me, though, I want a Penni with her mech.)
Raimi versions of MJ, Green Goblin, and Harry/New Goblin are my top requests after the SM2 Train scene. (That said, that new Doc Ock is enough to make me happy for a long, long time.)

This is pure speculation, but I thought that the lack of Sony Spider-Man has been due to A) Disney discouraging LEGO from marketing a competitor, like with the FoX-Men/X-Men in general, and B) that the licensing costs for both the characters and the adaption of the films from Marvel and Sony respectively would be too high. I believe a case for the latter can be made with the overpriced, Spider-Verse Bodega… although we’ve seen even worse in other themes with less potential fees in consideration.

I came across two Indias at the LEGO Store (that’s an outrageous statement out of context), but no Spider-Punk or Spidey 2099. Target was a different story, but I suspect that’s due to the day being September 1st, thus too early for anyone else to strike.
It makes sense if Spidey India and Spider-Punk are the more sought after ones, though; the pair are far less likely to receive future minifigs (except, to be fair, for a potential inclusion in a theoretical BtSV wave), while Miguel is rumored to face off against Spidey’s fourth mech this January, and likely will return in future comic-adjacent sets.

Same here. Having to squeeze past a line of tired people at checkout just to scan some silly minifigs is inconvenient at best, disheartening at worst. On a positive side, the placement at Target is likely effective enough at stopping scalpers, in contrast to Walmart.
I had previously heard B&N placed sticker tags over the barcodes. Glad that seems to be no longer the case.
