    Marvel Superheroes 2024 - Rumors & Discussion

    The best comparison to what we'll get in the X-Mansion is what we got with the Sanctum. Unlike the big figure counts with the Bugle or Tower, the Sanctum's 9 figure count only consisted of one repeat figure from the Doctor Strange MOM Gargantos set, and the rest all used new printing somewhere (18 new prints total). But the Wong and America Chavez used in the Gargantos set weren't repeated in the Sanctum, even though they easily could've been, but America remained exclusive, and we got a different Wong You're on the nail that Wolverine is a given, so that's one repeat from the X-Jet. I reckon Cyclops will also be a repeat, but possibly with printed legs (at least I hope), as he is the current leader of the team. As the X-Men's main villain/frenemy my wildcard guess is Magneto in his classic suit, reusing the same head but no printed legs, only a new torso. Rogue could be the new America, and stay exclusive to the X-Jet. So currently 2 new prints Jean Grey, Gambit and Jubilee are the top picks to round out the base team of the cartoon. Jean would need a new face and torso (leg printing isn't essential for her costume), Gambit and Jubs would both need new face, torso and legs (it would also be cool if either used the Scarlet Witch skirt cloth piece for their coats. Between the two I think Jubilee would suit it better though, and I'm fine with Gambits coat being leg printing. Also if Jubilee ends up with bright light orange over yellow, they can reuse the skirt cloth from Dreamzzz) Sinister is also the likely option for the villain, and would take a new face and torso at least. And finally as everyone says, it makes sense for the Professor to appear here, so a new face and torso. This makes my total new print count 14, and figure count 8. For the other 2 figures, I'm just as clueless as to who it might be as everyone else, but to throw names around, lab coat Beast needs 2 new prints, Morph needs 2 (if same legs as Cyclops), Bishop needs 3, Nightcrawler needs 2, Deadpool needs 3, Iceman needs 2 and Sunspot needs 2. Two of these picks would bring the new print total to between 16-18 Just remember this is all speculation, and just because the Sanctum had 8 new figures/18 new prints, it doesn't mean the X-Mansion will be the same, this is all just my own guesswork. If in 7 months time it turns out I got all of this right, feel free to ask me about lottery numbers
  2. Pattinson was cast in 2019, the suit was revealed in 2020, and there's zero logical reason to hide the protagonist of a film away from merchandising Like it or not, LEGO was lazy and cut corners, nothing else to say about it

    As someone with a deep hatred of them, I'd rather that format used for characters that make sense, like Surtur, Galactus or Sentinels, as opposed to giant actions figures of Iron Man, Cap, Wolverine and Venom Giant Man was my exception to that, as I preferred the brickbuilt minifigure style used in Civil War, and the lack of a minifig scale set annoyed me

    Keep in mind all the Quinjet figures were reused in the Tower, I'd expect the same for the X-Jet. Maybe Magneto in that costume remains exclusive, and his original suit could appear in the Mansion I'd hope Professor X, Jean, Gambit and Jubilee are included to round up the original team. 97 really seems to embrace a rotating roster of characters (Bishop, Nightcrawler, Sunspot), which makes expectations difficult. X-Men sets have so much potential, I hope we don't go the Venom route with them, if we eventually get more

    It's definitely possible, the original post said "around 10 minifigures", and everyone has since taken that to mean exactly 10

    Also Surtur Despite my usual dislike, we mustn't forget about this one buildable fig

    If he can team up with Ghost Rider to fight Carnage, he can team up with Silver Surfer to fight... well probably also Carnage... or more likely Venom... in a mech

    Marvel Superheroes 2024 - Rumors & Discussion

    I'd happily not get Silver Surfer from this film to be honest I've never complained before about any of the race or gender swaps from Marvel (maybe aside from Taskmaster, but it didn't help that she didn't have any character in Black Widow), but come on now There are actual female heralds of Galactus (Frankie Nova, Golden Oldie), Stardust who is agender, and enough male heralds that wouldn't receive as much backlash for a gender swap as this one will (Firelord, Air Walker, Morg). But instead we're getting Norrin's wife instead. So yes technically it's not a gender swap, but what purpose does this serve to make her Silver Surfer? As much as everyone else, I hope when the film comes out, there's a chance we could finally see some comic based F4, because that's where we'd the Silver Surfer we've all wanted since the beginning of the theme. It's still a long time til the film releases, and I'm still going to watch it regardless, but at this point in time my opinion on the matter is just... Why?
  9. What if the real thread was the asylum we made along the way Crazy? I was crazy once They locked me in a loop A LEGO loop A LEGO loop with bats And bats make me crazy
  10. For me it's King Kong and Agent Smith
  11. This feels like DCs equivalent to the Daily Bugle including stickers of Kingpin, classic Electro & big fig Rhino Like they have to know we want these figures to be made, but they're taunting us

    We'd need more sets to release before an advent calendar is possible, so then they can reuse all the figures. X-Mansion would be an X-ception as D2C figures typically remain X-clusive The only new prints you'd usually find in a calender are X-mas sweaters, and I personally think a generic X-Men sweater could look X-quisite. The X-pectation however would be something with Wolverine's mask/Magnetos helmet and a basic unX-citing pattern set

    My guess would be a repeat Valkyrie from the A-Force set. Especially looking at the rest of the wave, seeing that most of the figures will be repeats I'm hoping that since we'll be getting at least one new Thor this wave, they update his head, but not holding much hope for that, since Tony has had the same head since 2018, even when it's used for civilian clothing or helmets that don't flip up, making the HUD printing pointless

    I'm pretty sure I called this last year. Wonder which figures will have the sweater treatment Right so I'm confused... GotGV2 to the Holiday Special is a 6 year gap for Drax, so clearly at some point during this time, he became slightly greener. Obviously he's always been grey, but since LEGO made him green (which he is in the comics), I was hoping they'd give us more than just a head. But now we have designers without colour blindness... A little disappointed it's not Vol 1 Groot with long limbs, but very happy Gamora is finally back A set with all 6 Avengers (that's cheaper than the Tower) is pretty cool, but what we were all expecting would've been cooler. Until I see pics, sounds like a skip for me This set does sound like a NWH type display set without the round base perhaps, so maybe my past ramblings could happen. Fingers crossed for an IW Titan battle So if everything here I already have from the Tower, sounds like another skip. At best Hulk will have a new head, but if said head is reused in the AOU set, then this really can't offer me anything No elaboration on the one set I'm looking forward to most? I'm only expecting a Thor figure, would've been nice to hear theres more After the AOU set being a different scene, this set being only $11 is the second biggest surprise after the last Iron Man 4+ cost $25 with 66 pieces. If it's the same Iron Man (perhaps with reused minifigure Hulk from the mech) then I might grab this Poor choice of words, Terrence Howard never got his 'next time' Could there be a conspiracy here? One that involves Infinity Ultron being skipped? Did his tweets from 2013 resurface?

    Okay, but that doesn't have anything to do with the point you made though. All we had for Quantumania was a buildable Giant Man figure, still not a single minifigure from that film, which might've been the only opportunity to get Kang the Conqueror before he became Kang the Cancelled

    So if we follow this logic, we should be seeing Madame Web sets soon right? Sounds like a lot of money was lost, so I expect a full wave. An ambulance, a Pepsi sign, the jungle where Ezekiel Sims was with her mom when she was researching spiders right before she died

    The same Doctor Doom who was canonically defeated by squirrels?

    This is the only correct answer Eternals is one of my favourite MCU films, and I never understand why it gets the hate that it does, since most people on the internet act like sheep on a hate train incapable of being able to have their own opinion and voice why they didn't like it To me it's good because it doesn't feel like a typical MCU film, which is what people want until they get it, and then they trash on it . Obviously it's fine to not like something, but you need to give it a chance and form your own opinions, not just listen to strangers with a whole different taste than you QOTD: Just because my dad doesn't like cheese doesn't mean I don't too

    To be fair, originally it was meant to be 18 episodes (it might be less now, I don't know for sure) which makes it the longest D+ Marvel show, so if it makes the cut for series 3, there might be a lot of ground to cover The CMF doesn't really promote the shows, it just features characters from them. The description on the website for Series 2 says "features iconic characters from some of Marvel Studio’s most beloved Disney+ shows", it doesn't mention which ones. So maybe I guess
  21. That wasn't really rumoured, more that people on the previous DC thread were throwing ideas around for what locations could appear in sets, plus Klarion was meant to be in a book but wasn't so people thought he'd be appearing in a set, so Tower of Fate was wishlisted Then a random account spawns in from Trollworld to tell everyone "Tower of Fate is coming, with Batman (obviously), Shazam (easily believable repeat), Doctor Fate, Zatanna, Black Adam (close to the film) and Klarion" and many gullible people believed it And this boys and girls, is why we don't trust strangers

    A combo of Hagrid and Dr Eggman type body could do some justice to his size

    If we're talking comics, hell yeah make him a big fig. If we're talking MCU he'd 100% need to be a mini figure. He's definitely not taller than Korg, and people thought he should be a big fig

    I'm surprised they added Gamora Outside the What If CMF figure, we haven't had her since 2018, and it's not like there's not been opportunity to include her (Endgame final battle sets/GotGv3)

    https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeSXrBMH/ It's not confirmation that it is 60s, Ben just might like trying to read old Life magazines even though we all know his big rocky fingers aren't turning any pages. But it's something more than 'the photo has 60s vibe'
