  1. Keeping in mind Reeds torso was the same but without that white print, a red recolour just seems on brand When it comes to talking about a flamed on Human Torch, do we reckon the Ghost Rider/pumpkin bomb headpiece, or a recolour of the Hawkeye hair? I'm sure there's probably some thug or mechanic in a hypothetical upcoming City set that could reuse that hair in red I definitely won't be complaining about getting multiples of Hobie. I just hope I get lucky, I had to endure a lot of Agathas, Beasts, Echoes and Storms before I wound up with a Moon Knight. With that luck in mind I'm sure I'll have plenty of Sun Spiders, Cowboy Spidey and Peter B Parker (this is assuming he'll have his dressing gown, limiting use for any duplicates) Exciting to know at very least the significant characters will be getting unmasked heads and hair to accompany. Hoping Miguel's alternate face shows his vampire side Before the rest of the leaks come forward, what accessories do we predict to see included with the characters?
  2. Wait what? I heard about the other 3 villains, but Big Wheel is in this too? Now THATS how you top NWH
  3. It's a Friends hairpiece from a couple years ago, most commonly used in dark orange but used recently in that same bright light yellow in the new Malfoy Manor set on Luna The new printed piece from that set that instantly caught my eye was the shield in green with an octopus printed on it... that's just begging to be used for a Hydra Cap custom Also the viking helmets in bronze could make for decent Asgardian soldiers If Rocket Raccoon, who stands about leg height to the other Guardians, was made a minifig with short legs, I don't think LEGO are going to worry about the size difference between Miles and Miguel I do like the concept though, but more for characters like Thing or Korg. Maybe even War Machine too, since LEGO don't want to use the Wrecker armour piece. Endgame Iron Patriot definitely should've used it, that figure needed some bulk (brick built mech aside)
  4. I like this game. ANOTHER! https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3626pb0441&idColor=90#T=C&C=90
  5. You can carry on debating who had the best chemistry, but the answer is clearly Fisk and Starship 🎶We built this city...🎶 I will argue in fairness that there weren't many fantastic options for sets in the film, other than the newly renovated Avengers Tower as seen from the trailers or Red Guardians limo (which I would've been fine with, but it would've been pretty bland)
  6. I don't think anyone else has mentioned, but JJJs face print is a reuse of Barty Crouch Sr from Harry Potter The figure looks completely based of his Playstation game design. Added onto a new age Ultimate Universe Green Goblin and a Sonyverse Eddie Brock, this set is quite the mix match I saw it today, I'm praying Doomsday will cover their figures. USAgent is a must have since he was skipped in place of picks like Monica Rambeau in the first CMF and Sentry's costume in the film looked <chefs kiss>. Also Red Guardian should NOT have been locked behind a con exclusive set I have to agree with others, it's definitely up there on my favourite post Endgame films. At least unlike NWH or DP&W, it didn't need nostalgia to really encapture me Did I miss the episode that mentioned Matt and Cherry's brief romantic fling? The chemistry was definitely there though
  7. Aunt May fighting the g-force of that train to beat the living hell out of Doc Ock might just be the most badass thing I've ever seen The hood piece is Moon Knight's recoloured in orange, definitely not the colour I was expecting to see it reappear in first. Was also not expecting Hobgoblin, who last we saw had dual print but plain legs and isn't even a currently relevant Spider-Man villain, to have at least one of the best figures in this wave I remember complaining all the way back when the V-Rex was revealed that LEGO just love that Venom, won't even give us a half and half face for Eddie. Venom appearing in almost half the recent Spidey sets became such a meme and hearing 'Venom' was in this set was an eye roll moment. Seeing Eddie Brock feels like an absolute win for the theme Also I'm not even mad MJ is reusing that head, it just works for her After a few lackluster sets this year, hope for these sets was definitely low site wide, somewhat for myself too, but I'm pleasantly surprised by all of these (minus the Hammer drones, who annoyingly have more articulation than the mechs) It makes me glad I didn't pick it up immediately. I was expecting a different Spider Woman/Girl from the announcement, so having recently bought the Venom car I do feel a little bit of an idiot, but at least a spare Julia can be useful for She-Venom or just a female Venomized character Absolutely agree on little Goblin Jr, quite a surprise. Unless someone can identify if any of the previous Green Goblin figures are based on one of his comic costumes, this is our first Harry figure since the original Spider-Man sets. Interestingly the figure looks like it's based on the current Ultimate comic run If a Daily Bugle sized Oscorp is too much to ask for, maybe we could see an Oscorp sized Daily Bugle coming up? I love the modulars, but one a year (2025 aside apparently) is a lot to wait for and the price tag isn't for everyone. Even though the small, shallow building interiors aren't ideal, I'd love to see these sets develop more in the future, maybe even including a comic based Avengers Tower and Sanctum (I'll be adding the 2021 Tower to these sets until such a hypothetical time comes)
  8. Word on the street is the upcoming AoU Quinjet set will include Iron Man MK43 (shocking I know), Hawkeye, Black Widow, Quicksilver and Ultimate Ultron (who won't use the original helmet mold created for the character) While I was expecting him to be omitted anyway, very disappointed theres no new Vision with regular legs
  9. Yes it's the Mark 4, so cheers to the people who wanted it to complete the original 7 suits. Would be nice to see a proper Mark 2 and an updated helmet version of the Mark 5 though
  10. Cyborg Spider Man's face print has been fixed. With that in mind, anyone know when the book is meant to release?
  11. Iron Spider is definitely the better of the two. Really not a fan of how they did Iron Man's eyes
  12. I reckon there'll be more secrecy behind Secret Wars, so I reckon it's a better possibility there, but it could also happen for both A possibility I had thought of, rather than ending up repeating Endgame's wave of <random bull'sheep' go>, maybe Doomsday sets could take a Legacy approach and give us Quantumania, Thunderbolts* and X-Men movie (just replace the black leather with yellow spandex) sets that will cover the relevant characters from the film without the need to make up random vehicles. The same could then be repeated for Secret Wars, providing accurate Doomsday sets Also this has a strong possibility of being fake, but a hairpiece with purple sunglasses has just popped up on Reddit, it's linked to the same user who posted the Sunspot torso as well as a Nightcrawler head (which looks pretty fake). They were teasing Jubilee pretty heavily on the thread of Sunspots torso too, plus a lot of snowflake emojis with the NC head, so as always take with a grain of salt, but maybe X-Men 97 might be making a comeback in the new year
  13. Considering Tom Hiddleston is confirmed to return, your joke about a tree might not be too far off... Other than the one particular Wolverine variant, all the Deadpool and Wolverine 'cameos' were actually characters with like 5 minute screen times. Channing Tatum in Bullet Train is a cameo, Channing Tatum in DP&W has many questionable/incomprehensible speaking lines and action sequences. Don't mean to be pedantic, but I see a lot of people misuse the word "cameo" in this day and age Plus the fact the X-Men got announced has to mean they have story significance. Even if they don't have a lot of screen time, which would be difficult with many other characters and a main villain we've not been introduced to yet, they wouldn't have announced them That scene probably got a lot more hate for the fact the cameos were all terribly CGI (like a lot of that film) and dug up Adam West and Christopher Reeve to provide this "fan service" Say what you will about the DC CW shows, but Crisis on Infinite Earths actually managed to pull off some great multiversal fan service, so many actors from film and television history coming in to film new scenes, not just all recycled footage and deepfakes I doubt that would've happened regardless of The Marvels' box office numbers, until halfway through 2023 (before the strikes) Avengers 5 was only 2 years away and we knew the line up of films releasing prior. Unless bringing back the X-Men wasn't going to be touched upon in Kang Dynasty or Secret Wars before they had to rewrite the two Why wouldn't Sam be leading the Avengers though? NWH didn't do massive numbers at the box office, but that's hardly much of a reason for Captain America not to be leading the team. Plus the MCU is such a wide mess of properties right now that there's probably no one better to lead them If Scarlet Witch is coming back they probably won't announce it. That will end up a surprise for the film. War Machine, sadly very unlikely given the characters last appearance. I'm surprised Photon wasn't there, especially since Kelsey Grammar was named before the rest of the X-Men cast, which makes sense with The Marvels' post credits Doomsday announcements are exciting and all, especially to predict how much LEGO will skip out in the sets, but in a couple months time we'll have our first ever Fantastic Four set. I just wanna know what type of build Galactus will be, hoping for upscaled mini figure (2016 Giant Man) style, praying it's not one of the big action figure types
  14. Don't think you need to worry about putting them upside down, it's all official Marvel announcements Absolutely praying that the X-Men characters get some comic accurate suits... WE NEED NIGHTCRAWLER! Out of all 27 cast members in that video, the only figures with potential to be repeated figures are the F4, Captain America (unless he has a new suit, but we've seen that matters little these days), Falcon (Joaquin) and possibly Shuri, Namor and M'Baku (the pieces would be 4 years old by set release, so not impossible to bring back). Thor and Ant Man will probably depend on their suit design, but again, maybe not So potential new figures include Loki (God of Stories), USAgent, Red Guardian (mass release), Sentry, Mystique and Nightcrawler with updated versions of Shang-Chi, Yelena, Bucky, Ghost, Beast, Prof X, Magneto, Cyclops and Gambit. I'm not expecting to get all these as figures, plus there's definitely more characters in this film not announced as of yet (a lot of missing existing MCU characters in this list), but my fingers are crossed that we can compare Doomsday sets to Infinity War. Some figures were repeats from previous film sets, but other than 4 Outriders and Iron Man appearing in 2 sets, there weren't any other repetitive figures between the Infinity War wave. That's all I really hope for
  15. Pictures have been released (or leaked, I can't actually tell with the new guidelines these days) of Bluey sets, there's a dalmatian minifigure (apologies to my niece and any present die hard fans, I don't know the characters names) featuring white arms with black dot printing, so this'll be good for anyone looking to improve their Spot minifigures (or make some funny moments since Miles called him a dalmatian)
  16. A very random thought that's popped into my head, it's great that Thing is a minifigure over a big fig as that means we can make his iconic trenchcoat look
  17. Reed's suit doesn't have white at the collar and the hands aren't the same colour as the Thing's head, so that's not Ben I believe you're correct, my head jumped to Johnny as I couldn't see the feminine curve at the hips (though it also wouldn't surprise me if they used the same torso for her and Ben to cut costs)
  18. Is that Johnny's torso? We were promised an element for each character to represent powers, so either we get both flame on and off Johnny (unlikely), Johnny is flamed off, but has the good ol' super heroes orange energy pack or there's something to cover the figure in trans red (like the fake force ghost piece from a few years ago) Anyone else got any ideas?
  19. Plus point; what's not to love about robots (or simply guys in robotic armoured suits) fighting each other. Especially for a younger demographic. Both Iron Monger and Whiplash only suited up for the final act of their films, Stane was larger but didn't have any advanced tech and Vanko really just had better durability than before. A film about War Machine (a tankier Iron Man) fighting like 5 or more different evil Iron Men each with unique weapons/abilities would be a great watch I strongly disagree with that statement, even as someone who is looking forward to Ironheart (mostly because I really like The Hood in the comics), but if you look at Ironheart's debut in the comics, with the backlash the character received, I doubt the show will be much different It all comes down to that four letter word that people love using for when a new character that doesn't replace, but follows on from an iconic existing characters legacy, but they either look different or have a different characteristic, such as sexual preference War Machine is something of a different case though, as yes he's been around since the firs... well second Iron Man film, but he's just existed just fine as his own character. Rhodey only took over as Iron Man in the comics while Tony was battling his alcohol addiction. By the fact it hasn't already happened, I don't see the MCU trying to push for Rhodey to take over as Iron Man, but with Riri set to get her own show, the general audience would assume she's the one to take over Iron Man's mantle, as opposed to being just her own character, which echoes exactly how it happened with comics On a side note, I think Armor Wars should've stayed a series that, as it was planned to, shows Rhodey trying to protect Tony's legacy as his tech falls into the wrong hands, but then instead of giving Ironheart her own show, she appears here, having also obtained some of Tony's tech and teaming up with War Machine to take the tech back from the villains that obtained it. Have Rhodey be a mentor to her, and (very importantly) establish that neither of them are replacing Tony as Iron Man, but simply respecting, protecting and carrying on with his legacy
  20. Gwen's torso was new, plus I believe the head used for unmasked Miles. Jeff's torso is reused from city though, so 8 total I remain doubtful for a new Spidey (unless it's a specific new costume for a one off), as for MJ I'm guessing the Jyn Erso/Black Widow head
  21. I don't think anything can ever live up to the hype surrounding the Morbfather. Absolute cinema! Can't believe that someone wrote that for British Academy Film Award, Golden Globe and Oscar for Best Supporting Actress winning, plus Tony Award and two time Primetime Emmy Award nominated actress Ariana DeBose to deliver... and she ISN'T being nominated for an another Oscar for this film?!? Snubbed! Would Mephisto actually be allowed to appear in a set? Not sure if any other theme have used a devil or something close to one, but I'm sure it would probably go against LEGOs rules, which I'm also still convinced is why we don't have a First Avengers set Another example of horrible planning, at least in the UK the Hoopty (3 minifigs, 420 pieces, appropriate as whoever priced that set was on something) is £10 cheaper than the Spider Man NWH final battle (9 minifigs, 900 pieces)
  22. Tell that to her mom who was researching spiders in the Amazon right before she died There's no notes about any of the other figures so sure, Venom could be a big fig, which would help excuse the price to a degree, but the more likely answer for the price is inflation Apartment figures: Spider Man, Peter Parker, Mary Jane Watson, Mephisto and Paul
  23. The Pepper figure is fine for Iron Man 1, but beyond that she wears a lot of white outfits and has her hair down a lot more. I think the Hermione hair piece would work well if recoloured (after looking it up, I'm surprised that piece hasn't actually been recoloured other than bright yellow for the exclusive Supergirl/CMF sleepy girl or gold for the anniversary Hermione) We need Gwen how she looks in the LEGO games. Since the Bugle figure felt more Spider Gwen civilian based, I tried to craft a regular Gwen with that green/purple colour scheme, but the best green torso I could find was Ginny from the Burrows. Legs I used Daphne from Scooby Doo, but all together while it was the best I could do, I wasn't completely satisfied with it
  24. I wouldn't have thought anyone could mistake Gwen (white suit and a hood... wait...) with Julia Carpenter (black suit with hair) but that happened. To the non-nerds who have watched Spiderverse or played Rivals, Peni literally fits the description of 'Spider Girl'. Not definitively saying it could be her though You know, I'm something of a mutant myself
  25. It's Kraving time! Technically there's 2 newish villains, Norman's not been seen since the yellow skin days, when he had no abs, just a plain yellow torso After the Venom car initially said Gwen would be included, but ended up being Julia Carpenter, not sure what to expect with 'Spider Girl'. Could be Mayday (🤞), could be Anya Corazon, could actually be a various Spider Woman, could even be Peni Parker
