Do we think this is the faceprint for the Doomsday Doom as well?

It would be very surprising if it's not, IMO. Of course this means this is the MCU Doom, but I don't see TLG making two prints for the same character in the same wave for not really any huge reason

So is normal Cap also included or is it just the snowman?

I never thought we’d see the day where they make use of the helmet’s accessory hole  I always wondered why they even bothered, but it finally pays off!

[Kaijumeister]

I am loving that Doom figure. The new bulkier hood piece really gives it presence and that faceprint is fantastic.

I really, really hope nobody mistook a captain america minifigure for that snowman. It's possible the included Cap has his hair out instead of a helmet (like the previous one in a calendar, funnily enough). 

The calendar figure counts for superheroes have gone 7, 6, 7, 5 (but with an exclusive Spider-Ham head recolor/print on a snowman) so while it's possible there's only five minifigures that's definitely on the lower end. I think it's reasonable to assume a real Steve will be included alongside Spidey, Doom, Wolverine, Ghost Rider,

50/50. Looking at the faceprint alongside the Doom promo art we have, it's not the closest representation but it's within the realm of being a lego interpretation of that design- these aren't SHF figures after all. 

I don't think it would be an issue if it was re-used, but I do think there's a chance they make a more stoic looking one for the movie.

Doom looks fantastic!

Only complaint I could possibly have is that side leg printing to carry on the tunic/skirt would’ve been appreciated, but other than that no notes

In terms of where else he could be popping up, I think a mech remains the most likely. Although Cap and Thor both make sense, I think the Thing would be a good choice.

From my own experience of not caring for the fantastic four at one point, I’ve always liked the Thing and of the four he’s the one whose powers work for a mech. Plus, his movie minifigure is only a torso print away from being a comic version

Thing is my favorite of the four as well, though I will say there are definitely versions of Reed that would make more sense as a mech than Thing. And I'm selfishly holding out for a bigfig.

I wonder if the new hood has any bearing on the previous two pieces that still coexist (three, if you count the one created for Moon Knight). I could imagine the new one replacing the OG piece since it is rather similar

It's a lot more angular at the top, but it does have some very similar geometry at the bottom. I hope it's a special one for Doom, just because I'm having trouble seeing this mold on a lot of the characters who used the old one, but if it is a replacement it's not the worst thing in the world- the 2019 hood's taken up a lot of the old one's real estate anyway.

I’m not usually a hater of the rubber capes, but man, I hate how this one covers up the gold medallions that attach Doom’s cape. Which is a shame because there is rubber cape that wouldn’t do that, but they decided to be lazy and just reuse the cape from Loki instead of recoloring the other. Thankfully there are green cloth capes out there I can swap out.

That said, I think I prefer the older Dr Doom. The flat silver is a much better choice than the light gray and I also prefer the new hood mold and the fact it’s green instead of dark green. But the older one had a much better toros print and head print (I can’t past how the new one looks like he has a mustache ).

Do you mean the batman one? I don't personally like that one for it much (I mean I don't like any of the rubber capes except for the cloak of levitation, but regardless) since the bottom is full of pointy edges like batman, but given lego's used it for mysterio and other figures with decidedly non-batman shaped capes, I think you're right that it was just done to avoid a recolor.

I will have to pick up a cloth green cape at some point, now. Got to add it to the BL wanted list.

Has anyone noticed the weird looking Stark tower in the background on the Advent Calendar? I don't recall the Stark tower ever looking like that, so my guess is this ties in to Doomsday and is our rumoured building set. 

I wouldn't put too much stock into it. It's a small background feature in the box art for a comic-based set. Not to mention a new Stark Tower in doomsday feels like somewhat of a spoiler, and I'd be surprised if lego was told about it beforehand, much less early enough to not only develop a set but put the design into the boxart for a comic set releasing earlier.

[JeanGreyForever]

Doom's new minifigure is such a great upgrade. I always thought his original minifigure was rather basic and didn't really represent his true stature. But I agree that a rubber cape covering up the gold medallions is rather stupid. At least it's easy to swap out the cape for a cloth one.

Kinda want more of those X-Mas sweater torsos from Wolverine to give to the whole X-Men team. Would have loved color-coded versions (magenta for Gambit, green/yellow for Rogue, white for Storm, etc.)

Just Cap or Thor or something would be my guess, but it's a tangent of a tangent at that point.

Yeah- Morbius's only popularity is as a meme. Even the push to re-release it was done intentionally by the people making the jokes to see if they could make it the first movie to bomb TWICE. He would sell the occasional 50+% off set to someone like me, but in general most people aren't going to buy a set for a specific character because of a meme awhile back.

Lol I didn't realize they did it on purpose so they could make it bomb twice. That makes a lot more sense.

Reed would work since his power lets him change shape so it would be easy to design a mech around him. But Ben's rocky form makes him ideal for a mech form and he's the most popular member of the team (which makes him being so underused in the MCU movie even more crazy).

Good eye!
I don't know if this thread is a safe place to have this discussion, but the 'ears' on that building are definitely exactly like the Baxter Building. It's obviously not the Avengers tower, and it doesn't look exactly like the Baxter Building either, but it's definitely more Baxter than Avengers.

If the Baxter Building was the Doomsday modular set, wouldn't they just call it the Baxter Building instead of a Doomsday set?

Now that you mention it, I do think a mech would work for portraying Reed’s inflated form like in Rivals.

Though I think Thing has always looked cool as a bigfig in the Lego specials and games, I’m never quite sure if the size feels right for him. Truth be told, the only characters I think fit as bigfigs are Hulks and Juggernaut, for everyone else it just feels a tad off.

Ben’s lack of story in F4 was probably my biggest problem with that movie. Great design and casting, but given absolutely nothing to do. I’m sure it’s probably down to stuff getting cut for time, but it’s a shame all the same

No, Lego usually keeps the details about their movie tie in sets, especially for big, spoiler filled, movies like Doomsday pretty close to the chest. The fact we know it’s a building this far out is honestly surprising.

[doclord]

The set isn't actually called Doomsday Modular, right?

It is. It's actually a DC set, a buildable Doomsday, and he's got modular components you can swap out depending on which version you want to display.

(No, that's just all we know about it.)

Obligatory "Rivals mentioned, lego, get on this, make some Rivals sets" aside, I totally agree and think it makes more sense than even thing. Thing being in a mech representing his base form feels a little strange, whereas the mech representing a larger state of the character where you can remove the minifig to have the base form feels more natural. Sort of like the Ant-man mech representing giant man. Plus the $15ish mechs are always tall and lanky, which is a lot more in line with Mr. Fantastic's stretching than Thing's stocky shape. (And in the scenario of this being a two-pack with doom, including the F4's leader makes sense, but we're on like 8 tangents of eachother by now. This all spiraled out of wondering what other set comic doom would be in.)

Objectively speaking, scale-wise you're correct, he's much closer to minifigure size than big figure, just like movie Hulk, Thanos, Juggernaut, etc. Even in the comics most characters represented as bigfigs in lego media scale closer to minifigures. (Except hulk sometimes, because he's probably the only case where his size varying panel-to-panel makes sense). But since we tend to represent characters like Hulk and Thanos as bigfigs in lego, it's more important to me that Thing can brawl with them and is noticeably larger than the F4. Really the best solution would be if when lego modified the bigfig mold to have separate head/hair pieces, they just completely remade it so it was a more realistic size compared to minifigures, but they didn't, so here we are.

Yeah- I don't think there's many people at all out there who genuinely liked the movie as a movie, the rerelease campaign was entirely made of jokes that flew over some Sony exec's head.

In some ways, yes, but the stock model for the lego super hero mech is really lanky- silhouette wise it feels a lot closer to an inflated Mr. Fantastic than to Thing. They could do something like the Rhino mech, but in the scenario of this being a two-pack with Doom I don't think they'd have the budget/parts to bulk it up to the necessary level for Thing.

I guess that's true. I haven't been keeping up with all the Doomsday leaks so I'm not sure how prominent the Baxter Building will be in the movie and if it'll be some sort of central hub for all the heroes that could justify making it the main set of the movie.

Sony has never had a good handling of the Spider-Man spinoff movies. Morbius being the biggest example along with its re-release campaign. They genuinely thought people wanted to see the movie once, let alone twice.

I always disliked the Rhino mech and its shape. You're right that the silhouette of the standard mech would be better suited for Reed. His ability to change form means you could swap out his hands for different shapes like a mallet or a razor disc. But Marvel has really downplayed the way Reed can stretch his body into different shapes particularly with the movie where he barely stretched at all, let alone in anything all that imaginative or creative. I guess the VFX budget didn't allow for it or they thought nobody would take Reed seriously. The 2005 movie and its sequel had a much better handling on his powers (and basically all the characters imo).

If we ever get any Doom mech sets, it'll probably just be a giant Doombot. 

Spoiler

And some of the leaks claim that the X-Mansion scene will feature giant Doombot/Sentinel hybrids sent by Doom to kill the X-Men. So that would work too.

I hope they throw in a grey Hulk for making the fantastic four (hulk-spidey-wolverine-ghost rider)

Spoiler

From what I’ve seen while we might get the Baxter building in the second or third scene of the movie, most of the story takes place in 616 and the X-men universe, so even putting aside my own wish for the thunderbolts’ avengers tower I do think it’s the more likely option for a set

That would be a cool set and it’s odd Marvel’s been downplaying that (again a situation where Marvel Rivals excels, where their Reed aside from stretchy limbs can turn his torso into a trampoline to absorb damage, or enters “inflated state” where he has an exaggerated hulk-like torso, or turns himself into a bouncy ball with giant fists for his ult.) I get for the movie they chickened out and decided rather than try to make good VFX for Reed they’d just barely make him need them, but if they’re doing it in other media as well that’s really odd.

 

I would hope so, but lego does love their mechs, and we know comic doom will probably come in something else this year.

Somebody just pointed this out the other day here, it is really funny that we got most of the New Fantastic Four in the same year.

Even the Lego Marvel Super Heroes game had Reed change into some different forms. I think a trampoline or something like that, maybe a glider or that might have been a different game. The giant fists were in the first Marvel Ultimate Alliance game. I guess the VFX for video game portrayals doesn't require as much realism so they can be as creative as they want to be in Marvel Rivals or other games, unlike the movies. Disney is notorious for their cheap effects in MCU movies despite overly inflated budgets. And the budgets we hear about are always underreported and they're at least 30% higher than what's published.

Hopefully. It would be a missed opportunity not to.

Anytime within the next three months 

Official reveal is usually a month before release. Leaks are usually within a month before that.

[doclord]

I really like that both the BND and Doomsday sets have mini-modulars. I wish I collected the mini-modular system as it's very creative and a fun way to cover the whole of Marvel, but I'm too spoiled by the large modulars.

I hope the mini modular for this movie doesn't disappoint. I feel like there is only so much you can do design wise and lego has already exhausted their ideas when it comes to them.

The minifigs will be cool though in that set, but I am more excited for the Prisoner Transport set

[calebcold3]

According to BrickMerge, The Mini Modular Set for Doomsday is indeed the Avengers Tower (AKA New Avengers Tower)

Also, 76345 will be a Doctor Doom Bust, and the 76347 set (that’s a vehicle display) is indeed a Doomsday set 

[hvader]

OHHHHHHH New Avengers Tower

Sentry confirmed?

Also if the vehicle set is some kind of X-Men blackbird I would cry

Edited March 11 by hvader

[psqidexslizer]

So we’re getting a vehicle (76347) and Avengers Tower (76352) as our two Doomsday playsets, with MAYBE one more (assuming 76348 doesn’t wind up being something else).

I knew Lego was cutting back on playsets and focusing more on adult oriented sets, but holy , only 2-3 sets with minifigures to cover Doomsday is ridiculous. We’ll be lucky to get even 10 of 30 the characters we’ve known were in this film from the getgo.

There’s potential set numbers 76351 and 76353 that are in between The New Avengers Tower Set, so I don’t think it’s all doom and gloom (no pun intended)

Lego often skips set numbers. Unless a leaker says otherwise, I would just assume those are just empty slots.

[Darth Phallus]

Could 76352 be a Thunderbolts new Avengers tower..?
