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!

[thebricksbear]

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.

What if the 4 other January 2026 sets were the friends we made along the way?

This. Not much I can use myself but the alt hair for Prowler Miles is a black hairpiece we've needed for a LONG time

REAL. I adore this whole series because I adore the Spider-Verse movies, but even outside of that I absolutely love that they included the unmasked versions of so many characters because it meant we got a wonderful array of diverse faces and hair pieces that we probably wouldn't have gotten otherwise

If I'm parasocially deluded enough does this mean we're getting the Thunderbolts?

 

My local Walmart has the full spider-verse CMF. I tried to find 2099 but couldn't initially get the scanner to work and didn't want to stand there trying to scan the boxes for a half hour. Does anyone have a specific scanner they reccomend?

I use Minifig Scan and its really good. Scans multiple boxes at once, never had an error and it gives you a list so you can check off which ones/ how many if each you have

Maybe in Doomsday if LEGO realizes there are other characters besides Doom and the X-men

Second vote towards Minifig Scan. I've used them since Series 25 and I've been happy every time.

I finally found the Brave New World set for a decent price. Gotta say, I'm really not a fan of the bulky brick-built wings they gave to Sam and Joaquin.

The wing piece from the CMF had a much better silhouette, I hope they bring it back for Cap/Falcon's next appearances.

I was planning on using this one for Riri Williams but unfortunately it looks like it wouldn't cover an alternate face.

+1 for Minifig Scan

Avoid Bricksearch, it isn't 100% reliable and will eventually ask you to pay a subscription fee.

Unfortunately I don't have much faith. There's too many characters to cover everyone in any real capacity, and it seems like they're hyping up the X-men and Fantastic 4. Allegedly half the thunderbolts just... don't get to participate in the main story at all. Between the leaked marvel legends listings and everything else we know about the plot, it does seem like the focus is on the X-men and F4, so I doubt we see the bolts in the sets. And as much as I love them, in terms of film coverage it seems the logical choice to exclude them.

And even if we do get them all, John's gonna have that stupid beret if it's a doomsday set. Luckily we don't have to worry about that gaudy star on Bucky because he won't get arm printing.

Sounds like that's the consensus, thank you for the recommendation!

No problem, happy hunting! I've opened my first 4 spidermen this weekend with my son. They are really good,  so detailed

That was my plan too since her fig came with the huge hairpiece.

I'm thinking also itd be a great Killmonger hairpiece.

Looks like Doom's design has been revealed (but at an official Disney 2026 Merch Expo) and he basically looks like

Spoiler

comics Doom with more silver on the trappings than gold

So very easily recolorable if Lego chooses to do a comics variant.

Thanks- I'm heading to the store in a bit and I'll look for 2099 there, I'll update this post when I do.

EDIT: I couldn't get the scanner to work, and decided "Spend $4.79 to get a random one and use the box to figure out the scanner" was better than "Social situation of being a grown man standing alone in the lego aisle looking aggravated at his phone for an unknown length of time with a cart full of perishable groceries." Got Cyborg-Spider Woman, which is fine. It's not the 2099 I wanted, or somebody I would have kept built like Electric Miles, but it's parts that are clearly spider-man (unlike Spyder-bite, Sun Spider, or most of Web-Swinger) that I'll be happy to use on purist customs. The torso especially seems like it could be used for a chained up Raimi-style spider-man.

While I disagree with some of the figure choices, no one can deny the detailing is immaculate.

Yeah, it's a surprisingly good Doom design, not a grey iron man with a green cloak as I feared. If nothing else, the figure that comes out of this will work just fine as comic Doom.

As for recolors, though, I'm not all that sure that it matters. The design work behind a print isn't the expensive part, swapping the colors is still a "new print". Unless you mean people personally recoloring the figure, in which case I agree it'd be easier to color some gold in silver areas than paint or print a new design.

Doom’s design looks fantastic. I hope this is the one figure where Lego pulls out all the stops with arm printing etc.

That's annoying, wonder why. I found the remaining 5 i needed to using the app. Got the complete set now. Hope you get it sorted

Huh - Minifig Scan has always worked just fine for me.

Did you give the app permission to use the camera? And were you for sure scanning the dot matrix code (the one that looks like a QR Code), and not the bar code?

I was trying to use the web browser version- after I downloaded the app, it worked just fine on the cyborg-spider-woman box I had.

Nice. In the end I think the boxes turned out to be a benefit, now that we can scan the codes- feeling the bags was useful but not an exact science, whereas now we can tell for sure who's who.

I would hope so. Given they'll assumably be able to re-use this design extremely frequently, as he's essentially the main character of the next two avengers movies, it would seem smart to make this one one of their better figures.

Just because he’s the main character in both doesn’t mean his design will be consistent throughout. I can’t think of many examples where a character wore the same costume for even two movies in the MCU.

And unfortunately, just because his design changes between them doesn't mean they'll re-use it anyway, as they have before. I'm sure he'll wear the white cloak at some point in Secret Wars, but I mean, even in Endgame Thanos wore his infinity war and GOTG/IW opening costumes. I wouldn't be surprised if Doom's suit carries over for at least some of Secret Wars. And even if it's a small update to the costume I wouldn't put it beyond lego to re-use the old doom.

I think it’ll depend on how drastically it changes and how long it’s on screen for. Lego is clearly willing to allow for some inaccuracies to save money on printing, but if he gets the white costume and wears that for most of the second movie, I can’t see them reusing the green costume variant for that.
