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!

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.

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.
