    I know a lot of people saw that she was once Madame Hydra and got hyped, but she was her for so little time that I don't think it'll play that big of a role in the MCU. I've always mainly known her as Nick Fury's love interest and a fellow SHIELD agent or spy. I can see the MCU alluding to her whole history though by making her be a former SHIELD agent turned top HYDRA official maybe or having her former title be Madame Hydra before SHIELD/HYDRA collapsed in Winter Soldier.

    I get the distinction and the logic but the argument is still flawed. MCU movies are and have been PG-13. You're comparing spies with a character like Joker and then a mythos like Star Wars and then a company like Marvel. Comparing "spies" with "superheroes" would make more sense. Basing popularity on search terms is tricky for a few reasons. Here, it is mostly bc we're, again, comparing apples to oranges. We're comparing Joker (a search term about a character) to Marvel (a search term about a company). Compare Joker to one of Marvel's characters. Say the face of the MCU: Iron Man. They're matched at 6 more average searches since 2004. In Movies, its 6-4 Iron Man. In comics/animation Joker nearly doubles the searches. In TV/video Joker also leads. In the past 90 days Joker leads in all the aforementioned categories. So he technically is most popular based on this. However, "spiderman" tops both of them and then Batman dwarfs all 3 of them. There are other ways that kids come into contact with popular characters besides movies. Joker is in so many animated properties that are relevant on kids channels (Batman vs TMNT on Nick, JLU, and Scooby-Doo for example). Fortnite also has a Joker skin. He was in Injustice. He's on every notebook, pencil, and bag in stores. I mean sure people want what is popular right now of course. Example: right now Falcon is more searched than Iron Man and therefore more popular based on your working definition. So people want a Falcon set more than an Iron Man one right now. But what does that add to the convo? I feel like your argument is splitting hairs. This is like asking is Venom reaally popular among kids now. He's the archenemy of one of the biggest IPs of all time. The answer is yes. So, Lego should ofc continue to make sets out of one of DC's top 5 characters and top 1 villain because he's popular.

    Beyonder would be a great way to explain it. I feel like its safe to assume that Marvel is going to eventually have a Secret Wars event later down the line, so placing the seeds for that now, the same way they did for Endgame all these years, would be amazing. My only wonder though is if it would be too early to cast someone already?

    Hey guys, let's make this page active so we have a place to talk about the new Spider-Man! No reason for the negativity. I hope Lego finds a way to self-reference the old Spider-Man 2 sets in the No Way Home sets, I've always loved when they put easter eggs in the sets. As for the movie itself, I'm very interested to see how/why Doc Ock's story is going to pick up from his sacrifice at the river meanwhile Electro will seemingly be a new version of the character. Also hoping that Disney finally mentions/shows Uncle Ben. It would be really annoying to have a whole Spider-Man trilogy without barely making a reference to him. What do you guys think of the leaks we've gotten so far?

    Exactly. The MCU page is out there and yet no one decides to use it. Its was especially annoying before we knew what the Disney+ set was going to be and everyone was discussing their ideas for it and dropping spoilers left and right the day the episodes would come out! Can this be the one place on the internet without spoilers?

    Do we know which shows are getting what number of figures then?

    I really like that part, looks straight out his early appearances. But at the same time I understand what you mean. It doesn't really lend itself a modern look and the fully white belt also limits it. It would look a bit weird with Superboy's dual molded flesh arms. But again, really amazing figure and I will 100% try to pick it up. Hopefully its not too expensive after a while.

    Loved him in 80s comics, he was a really cool character. But it seems they went in a new direction and made him a bit of a doofus in recent years. I was going through my figures the other day and I think I have 3 for some reason. But I don't have the HYDRA goon from AoU so that will be awesome to get. I feel like Lego could do that then release the red one in a retail set later on. Or vice-versa. Like how they had Mickey and Minnie variants in the Disney Castle. Of course, they could also do it like Harley Quinn from the Lego Movie 2 D2C or Heath Ledger's Joker from the Tumbler D2C and keep the figure exclusive.

    Thats the first thing I did when I got the Avengers Tower promo back in 2019. The helmet with the lines is so much more accurate, it is surprising how much it improved the Mk 42 for me. Also, is anyone does anyone else have any Mk 43 figs whose visors started chipping a little? The gold part at the top of the helmet is doing that on mine. I don’t really mind but its weird because the other future helmets of that style are not as brittle. Also the gold color seems different from future renditions of the helmet like in the Mk 46 and 47.

    Marvel Superheroes 2021 - Rumors & Discussion

    100% agree. Lego fans went from hating the new helmets to somehow thinking they’re better for MCU suits (that aren’t Rescue or the Mk 1) I personally don’t count the suits with the new helmets in my Hall of Armor. I feel like an argument can be made to include a Mark 2 because you can just say its a “prototype” but even that is a stretch. Being too tall and bulky is a problem with anyone with a head piece or hair piece honestly. Look at the Iron Man 3 Pepper Potts fig next to an AoU Captain America fig or a Nick Fury fig. She towers over them. It’s just what it is.

    3rd time for me. I have no one but myself to blame. Also, just saw the Mk 3, very cool figure. I like that they included some red highlights, it reminds me of Cm4Sci’s version of it. Also glad they gave it the old mk 6 style helmet with the white eyes and unibrow. I had a spare ready to go in case they cheaped out with a reuse of the Mk 50 helmet.

    Ah very cool thanks for the info, the video game design is awesome! Only hope they can nail the skin print so it isn't too pink. Daily Bugle D2C set. The CMFs are all Disney+ TV show characters.

    Great leg idea for the new Shuri figure. Courtesy of LMA Customs on Flickr. Not sure if this counts as a leak, if so I'll remove.

    I know for the DC one Lego put it up on their website for around $300. I think it was listed under both the DC and Minifigures theme tabs. I definitely want a complete series but I’m not sure how I’ll go about it. Idk about feeling packs even when these come out.

    It looks real to me but not that great of a torso likeness in some aspects. I just find it weird that theres a typo in the email: "Oh no. with my sorry," usually Lego's customer service reps' language skills and grammar are spot on.

    Marvel Superheroes 2021 - Rumors & Discussion

    I like how all these people with info probably see leaks inside catalogs or something, or they are 3 degrees of separation away from the actual source, and still hide the info like Lego is going to find them.

    Nah, its on his page as a post. Agreed, The cat ears need printing to look complete. That is one of the reasons I love that Civil War figure the most.

    Im assuming from lego_fulcrum’s post. Not sure where he got the info from. I like the panther figures though, so this doesn’t bother me much either.

    Good to hear that it wasn’t promobricks @Lego-Freak, thank you for checking. On March 8, @lego_fulcrum posted on his Instagram that we’ll be getting a new panther helmet alongside the other news. There was strangely no big celebration about it and the first mentions of it on the forum are these below on March 10:

    If I were still a kid, the Batmobile in that 4+ set would be my favorite thing ever. It's mean and bulky and the fake missiles on the sides are great. The ATM is also very cool, I was always a Lego City kid. The figures included are also great for kids, 3 main characters in one set. Even the rocket launcher accessory for Joker is pretty nice. The '66 set is awesome. The 2 very detailed and accurate figs are a plus. My only gripe is that the shaping of the vehicle is a bit too flat. The 1x8 tiles doesn't do it justice. They could have used some rounded 1x1's to help it out. Also, never cared much for box art but this one is absolutely gorgeous.

    Same. Spider-Man, JJJ, Venom, Punisher, DD, Black Cat + The classic Sinister 6?

    Someone made a digital render of one on Instagram around the time Rocket leaked. I'm not sure how accurate it is though. I forget whether or not that person saw the real figure or not, but I think he did.

    Anyone know anything about the Doc Ock 4+ mech that Ashnflash was talking about in his recent video?

    Marvel Superheroes 2021 - Rumors & Discussion

    Same here, such a great looking armor. Hopefully we get it in wave 2 or something soon. But if not there is always the possibility of it showing up in the War Machine show and us getting a set from that. I wonder if Lego would add an armor piece to the figure if/when we get it, or if they would just print it.
