Oh, you’re mistaken. I do NOT want that as a set, I’m saying I could SEE LEGO making a set like that, given how LEGO makes gimmick sets and they seem to be going all out on the Smart Brick next year (unfortunately)

Huge difference between that and wanting something to see as a set.

Agreed. I'm most excited to see what the Ghost Rider bike looks like, even though it's the cheapest set. 

Hopefully we also hear more details on the April 2026 sets that are on JediJAC's Website.

Same- at $10 it shouldn't be oversized like the previous ones, so I'm excited to see how it looks.

Unless you're saying you want lego to make a smart iron man based on a rare or new MCU suit, there's nothing for lego to listen to there, he's actively saying he WOULDN't want that set.

The Daily Bugle comes with the usual Spider-trio, JJJ, Rhino, Mysterio, and, get this, venomised Captain America  They can’t be stopped!!

[DaredevilFan]

Looks like the Hulk in Hulkbuster will be Minifig, unless it’s just mistranslation. With the Minecraft reveals and more detailed description, I think reveal will be soon

You know what? it's not great, but not terrible. The usual spider-trio being included is annoying, JJJ is good but obviously was going to be present, but as for the other three:

Comic Mysterio isn't the same as the new Kraven or Hobgoblin last year, but it's certainly not unwelcome. He hasn't been in a set since 2021, and while the Bugle's been on shelves the whole time, it's also $350. This'll be nice for kids or fans who got into the hobby in the last half-decade. Again, not amazing, but not bad at all. Certainly better than one of the three symbiotes we've been getting or Ock or Goblin or something.

Rhino: Now this is excellent. I assume based on the inclusion of a mech that this'll be a mechanical Rhino rather than a bigfig, but so long as it's actually got a guy in a rhino suit in there and not the Paul Giamatti figure from 2016, it'll be a huge win. I know we technically had a rhino in that one 4+ set back in 2020, but if this is a comic-accurate LBG minifigure OR a mechanically armored minifigure (as seems more likely), it's excellent news.

Venomized captain america... if this is just a random design, fine, whatever. Better than a repeat, I guess. But you know what media just had a venomized captain america release back in may or june? That's a bit of a coincidence... this could be our first Rivals figure, which would be an odd choice over any of the default designs, but so long as the gate is open I will NOT be complaining.

That has to be a mistranslation. No way a $50 system set only has two minifigures, and ESPECIALLY no way they have a ~400 piece hulkbuster fighting a minifigure hulk.

It’ll be a big fig Rhino, but he’ll be Venomized. 
 

In all seriousness though, I’d assume this is the case. Which is disappointing given how long we’ve been waiting for a proper Rhino only for another mech.

Is Lego really going to make Venomised variants of every marvel character except for Spider-man and Agent Venom?

I think we’ll see venomised Batman, Luke Skywalker, and SpongeBob before those two

Hopefully it's not the standard mech style, because that just doesn't work for Rhino. But if it's an actual rhino-shaped mech with a new mechanized Rhino minifigure, massive win. I know he tends to be just a big guy in rhino pajamas, and it would be nice to get one of those at some point, but personally getting a mechanical looking one would be cooler for me. Now obviously we don't know what it'll be, we don't even know if the mech is for Rhino. It could be the LBG pajamas, it could be a Paul Giamatti figure, you never know, but we'll see.

As someone pointed out, the Venom Cap is likely to get us a black Captain America helmet, which will be super helpful for US Agent figures because you KNOW the helmet isn't getting printing.

I’m busy manifesting a regular dark blue Cap helmet with black blob printing into existence, just to ruin your dreams  I LOVE BEING EVIL AHAHAHAHA

Ah, no, you're right, they totally would do something like that. They're allergic to fully venomizing anything, it has to be this weird partially venomized mix. If anything it'll be the normal Cap helmet with venom's head and a torso with some black blobs on the AoU suit despite it being a comic set.

The partially transformed approach is my absolute nightmare scenario for Symbiote Spidey

[Kaijumeister]

The new prints allocated for these senseless / half-baked venomised characters could actually be used to create Spider-Man villains people actually want. Is a venomised Captain America really more desirable than, say, Shocker or Scorpion?

Hooray for yet another reuse of Spidey / Miles / Gwen / Mk 43 Iron Man (reusing these particular figures this frequently across both low and high price-points is actually ridiculous IMO). How is it that the 4+ Spider-Man sets completely outclass the mainline Spider-Man sets in terms of character lineups?

Sigh these January sets sound dross - starting to get exceptionally frustrated with Lego in terms of pricing and quality. I know I’m jaded because I’ve been collecting for 15 years and there’s new collectors and the primary audience… you know kids… to provide for but it’s so unexciting.
 

Even for my own kids most Lego playsets (location/good vehicle with multiple minifigures) are too expensive for anything other than a main Christmas or birthday present and are jammed full of repeats. 

Venomized characters wise I don’t mind too much but that can’t ever be the main draw for a set - Cap for the Bugle?!? That needs to be a perk. The fact there’s no agent venom or black suit spidey still or big fig venom is bonkers. 
 

Anyway, whinge over, I assume the venomized Cap is going to be similar to the funko one which is fully transformed. Couldn’t find a clear marvel design for wolverine venom (there is a cool x23 one in funko). As long as there’s a full venomized version. I really dislike the half transformed bit. 

Clinging on to hope that Doomsday will revive both the MCU and mainly the LEGO Marvel theme - I’n desperate for new minifigures (thunderbolts, xmen, xmen97, missing avengers variants and characters, missing spidey villains, comic sets, variant costume, all new characters). I know it “flopped” but I miss the eternals…. Here’s 10 new characters and 4 sets for every movie era! I bet I’m not even gonna get a Jeff the Land shark in the new 4+ spidey pirate sets!

I am wondering if we will ever see more Iron Man suits, especially the ones which don't have the "standard" colors and appearance. We got the Blazer armor and the Scuba armors in past sets. Would be great to have some variety.

[DaredevilFan]

We’ve got some set official descriptions, looks like it’s only Spider-Man and Wolverine in car set. Ghost Rider and Spidey in the bike one. Hope we get the sandman one soon, I know it’s most likely comics but a man can hope

We sure will, lego loves to put out Hall of Armors and they tend to use exclusive armors to draw in collectors. That said, our most recent one didn't even do that...

I assume figure wise Rhino is meant to be the main figure draw for the set, but we'll see, maybe he's just a generic kitbash in a rhino mech.

No Agent Venom and Symbiote Spidey are likely due to lego's weird thing about not wanting to tread on comic-con figure toes and thinking they're too close to the 2011 symbiote spider-man. No Big Fig venom is likely because lego seems to want to limit bigfigs wherever possible, given how often Hulk, Thanos, and now even Red Hulk have been showing up as minifigures instead of bigfigs. We only seem to get bigfigs for some movie-based sets nowadays, which is ironic because the hulk-like figures tend to be close in size to normal humans there than many of their comic depictions.

Spider-man and ghost rider in the $10 bike is fine, though it is a little annoying that, even worse than my concern that seeing only those two in the set would have kids thinking GR is a bad guy, lego seems to outright say it's a vs set in the description. 

Only spider-man and wolverine in the car set isn't awful either given the price of these cars has reduced from $35 to $20. It is funny that we're back to Spider-Man within 2 years despite Spider-Gwen never getting her car, just Miles/Spidey/Venom. And even Miles's car was CLEARLY meant to be the morbmobile originally.

I wonder if JJJ in the Bugle is a reuse of the one from this year’s Spider-Man 2 set?

So far the Ghost Rider Bike and Sandman Battle are the only sets I’m interested in for January, and the latter only because of it potentially being a Raimi set. Pessimism aside, the play function of the adjustable billboard / sign on the Daily Bugle sounds pretty cool!

I'm 50/50- they could re-use either the print from the spider-man 2 set or from the last bugle, but any suit torso would work for a "new" JJJ.

Same, except if it's a good sandman build I'll get it regardless- I have a mini spider-man vs the Sinister Six (and morbius) diorama on my TV stand, and sandman's currently just represented by that hand from the NWH final battle set, so it'd be nice to get a full-sized one on there.

I do think overall this is still a pretty solid january wave. Sure, there's some wolverized venomarines, but we're also getting a continuation of the mini-modular/skyline line, which is the single best thing to happen to superheroes sets ever, a $10 price point Ghost Rider bike, etc. And it has the potential to be one of the best- if this is our first comic Rhino or armored-detailing Rhino, that's a HUGE win. Mysterio's good no matter what. 

[calebcold3]

In the set description for the Ghost Rider set, it mentions stud shooters...

Is this a worrying sign for the build? Ghost Rider's bike would look odd having stud shooters. Maybe it's a mistranslation. 

[JeanGreyForever]

Rhino is promising and it'll be nice to see Mysterio again, even if I doubt he'll have leg and arm printing. Venomized Captain America is a joke but the least surprising part of the set. Lego seems obsessed with this idea of venomizing every character they can think of.

Agent Venom has a pretty different design than Symbiote Spidey though. Venom (Eddie) is closer to Symbiote Spidey and there's no shortage of his minifigs. I think the lack of Agent Venom has more to do with him not being a thing in the comics anymore so Marvel doesn't see the need to promote him. Also why we've never gotten a regular Flash Thompson minifig.

The BTAS Batmobile has stud shooters as well, which I believe also looks odd, but there we are...
Luckily they easily removable without ruining the actual look of the car.

Maybe that will also be the case with Ghost Rider's bike?

Here's hoping. The Ghost Rider bike is the only January 2026 I have an interest in buying. (I already have the 2021 Bugle, so I don't need the Mini-Modular)

Rhino and Mysterio are both characters that in any capacity will be good additions, but have the potential to be EXCELLENT. Rhino all depends on him either being comic based, or if the mech is his, made up so that the minfigure appears to be wearing mechanized rhino armor a la the PS4 game rather than just Paul Giamatti like the 20...15? 16? set. A straight repeat of mysterio would be just fine, given it'll have been 5 years since his last set, but some leg printing wouldn't be unappreciated and arm printing, while as you say unlikely, would be spectacular. 

Yeah that was more of a guess on my part, I just couldn't think of another reason why they'd avoid him. Though I will say Flash not getting a minifigure is probably just more because we don't get many of spidey's civilian friends- discounting movie minifigures, the bugle's the only thing that's ever given us more than Mary Jane. The only time we've gotten characters like Betty or a non-spidered Gwen was in the bugle, and we still don't have a Harry Osborn minifigure from the superheroes line- just the raimi ones in 2004.

Same. I love the mini-modulars as a concept and and want to both support them and add to my marvel skyline, but Oscorp just doesn't look good to me, and the Bugle doesn't really make sense to get if you're buying the skyline sets to display with the modular bugle. I'll just hold out hope that Kraven, Rhino, and Nu-ultimate Goblin show up in what has to be a coming Oscorp Modular. (Alongside, of course, Kaine, Daredevil, Moon Knight, and Luna Snow)

As for the stud shooters I'm not very concerned, I assumed something like that would be on the GR bike but they should be easy enough to remove without compromising the look of the bike.

At this point, I‘ve pretty much given up on new side characters or villains showing up in regular sets, so updates of existing minifigs is the best I can hope for  In that sense, Mysterio and Rhino sound like good additions! With all the new elements introduced since the last Rhino mech in 2015, I‘m sure the new version will wipe the floor with that one  And no stupid angry Clone!!
