    Since Doris and Diggle were both in the Leaky Cauldron, does this mean NO pub in the near future (like Griphook in the CMF due to no Gringotts when the CMF was out), or does it mean a Leaky Cauldron IS coming but they wanted to save budget for more familiar minifigs in the set (like Moaning Myrtle in the CMF to compliment the upcoming bathroom set)? If the pack is still on shelves in summer 2022, I figure it might be either way, since we will see a return to "normal" sets next year

    They could still do a Leaky Cauldron set based more on Prisoner of Azkaban instead.  Perhaps something like that could include the main trio (Hermione can reuse the Hogwarts Express torso), Tom, the housekeeper/maid, and perhaps Arthur Weasley.  It could also include another Monster Book of Monsters (Maybe slightly different printing from CMF?) and if we're lucky, they could include a new Crookshanks mold too.

    Yep 10 Confirmed out of '14': Peter Parker, Spider-man, J.J.Jameson, Venom, Daredevil, Punisher, Black Cat, Spider-Woman Mysterio, Green Goblin
    Nope: Electro, Lizard
    Reports on other figures: Sinister Six included in some form (At least three/four other villains as such?), No Big Figs included, 'No more New Villains'

    I'd guess our remaining four figures are just returning villains to form the Sinister Six. I'm surprised we have not got more civilians though.

    I'm starting to think all villains in the set will count as members of the Sinister Six even if they weren't traditional members in the comics, and Falconfan described Black Cat as the only new villain, which seems to confirm she's being considered a villain for the purposes of this set, so if we assume that Venom, Black Cat, Mysterio, and Green Goblin are counted as part of the Sinister Six, that would mean two more villains to form the Sinister Six (and I'd be surprised if Doc Ock wasn't one of them), leaving room for at least another two figures that could be civillians and/or heroes.

    Fulcrum just teased Spider-Woman!

    Daily Bugle just keeps getting better and better.

    Spider-Woman? Now that's a good inclusion, considering how incredibly expensive the SDCC one is.  Hopefully she gets dual molded legs.  I wonder if there's still any other heroes included we don't know about yet (I'm still hoping for Cloak and Dagger), or if Daily Bugle employees will fill out the rest of the lineup.  Either way, between Daredevil, Punisher and Spider-Woman, the hero lineup seems to be way more exciting than the villain lineup, considering Black Cat seems to be the only new villain.

    Oof, Peggy feels like a wasted inclusion considering we're already getting her in a set at the same time.  At least the Steamboat Willie Mickey and Minnie had the excuse of needing new molds when Ideas sets could only use pre-existing molds at that time, but that explanation wouldn't really apply here.  A repeat like this wouldn't be too big of an issue if the series had 16-20 minifigures, but in a series of only 12, every slot needs to count.  Now if the CMF figure is in a different outfit from the set version, then it's inclusion would feel more justified.

    At this point, I'm starting to think that LEGO might revisit some of these shows with sets later on.  I don't think it would be too far-fetched, considering that both WandaVision and Falcon and the Winter Soldier apparently both had premiere viewership numbers exceeding that of The Mandalorian Season 2, and LEGO is clearly more willing to revisit past MCU properties now.

    So more heroes: probably some new and rehashed spidermen and women. 
    If they’ll give us Bombastic Bagman that would be something. Than should they also give us Galactus (like the HP max brick figs) vs the FF :-D

    other heroes: Silver Sable? Cloak & Dagger? Iceman and Firestar? Johnny Storm? Frog Man? Rocket Racer?

    I feel like Johnny Storm and Iceman won't be showing up in sets until their characters show up in the MCU.  Cloak and Dagger would be excellent choices.  I'd be satisfied if they used their designs from LEGO Marvel Superheroes 2.  Silver Sable would be great too.  I'd like to see how LEGO would do Frog Man.  Rocket Racer would be neat, but would feel a bit wasted without a Big Wheel to go up against.

    But Falconfan literally said there's little chance of other Defenders members showing up. Maybe just future sets but in the Daily Bugle set nah

    Yeah, I was still typing that up when he posted, so I didn't see that until after I posted.  Rather disappointing, but hopefully whatever heroes they include will be good picks.  

  11. Posted · Edited by spiderfan2000

    No new villains other than Black Cat?  Oof, I was really hoping for more than that.  I really hope the next wave of comic Spider-Man sets improves the villain selection, because I was really hoping for this set to add at least a few more characters to the rogues gallery instead of just one.

    More heroes?  That could be interesting. Three more, combined with the confirmed Spider-Man, Daredevil and Punisher, would equal six heroes to balance out the Sinister Six.  Peter Parker and Jameson added to that lineup would bring the minifigure total to the 14 that was the minimum confirmed.  Stan Lee would be a fun bonus inclusion, but I'm not sure if LEGO would go that route.

    That would make sense, Luna makes no sense to me even if several people say it is her.. She has freckles, none of the Luna figs have that right? She looks like Penelope to me:wink:

    It's very difficult to read the minifigure names on the box art, but it looks like it does say Luna's name on there.  So yeah, just a weird choice probably just so they could include a more noteworthy Ravenclaw student, similar to the Hogwarts Moments sets including younger versions of Cho and Cedric to represent their respective houses, despite them not being in the earlier movies that those sets were otherwise based on.

    Random thoughts:

    It looks like the Technic pin system used to connect the new sets uses the same positioning as the 2018-2020 sets, so they should be easy enough to integrate with the previous sets. 

    I think the new Great Hall/Chamber of Secrets will be a worthy enough successor to the 2018 version, even if that version has a better looking exterior.  The interior of this new one is fantastic, and demonstrates great attention to detail on the part of the designers.  I still hope the buildable Fawkes set includes a minifigure scale Fawkes in a flying position, as that would definitely add a bit to the Chamber of Secrets.

    Luna's a strange inclusion, but now we have house robes for all four houses.  The accessory pack could be robed students just as plausibly as it could be Quidditch players, as no new torso printings would be needed either way. 

    The Bathroom being positioned directly over the slide to the Chamber of Secrets makes me think the sink area will open up. 

    I'm not sure if Dumbledore is meant to be in the same outfit represented in CMF Series 2 or not, but the lighter color scheme is a fun throwback either way, plus the hairpiece in white is very welcome.

    Now that Devil's Snare is confirmed for the Forbidden Corridor, I wonder if we'll get the Chamber of Winged Keys and the Stone Chamber in the future to complete the setup.

    The minifigure selection is pretty great.  I'm very happy they seem to be making robes the new default, as the jumpers were getting a bit old.  With Harry having an open robe in the Chamber of Secrets and closed robes in the Forbidden Corridor, and Hogsmeade Harry having the 2019 torso but with black legs instead of dark gray, there are technically no entirely repeated figures in the sets as far as I can tell.  I'm pleasantly surprised they found a clever way to make Nick different from the 2018 version, when they could have easily gotten away with reusing that figure.  Raises a lot of questions for the future.  If they make other house ghosts, would they be glow-in-the-dark too?  Will they include a glow-in-the-dark version of Myrtle in a set someday?

    I wonder which characters will be represented in the Wizarding Cards.  Dumbledore seems obvious, plus his card was a major plot point.  The four founders would be great.  Maybe Newt Scamander too.  I believe it was confirmed that the main trio got their own cards at some point, so their inclusion wouldn't be too out of place.

    Very true, but to be honest AoU Cap was a decent one, no need for them to remake it specially if they won't be able to include the white stripes on his arms which is the very obvious different detail on every Cap suit. If it's indeed AoU atleast you can now have the older version as Civil War suit. 

    TFA's hydra soldier is far more better than Aou hydra soldier. Fight me. :sadnew:

    No, I agree that the TFA Hydra Soldier would have been better to get.  A TFA set in general with completely new variants would have been more exciting to get than a AOU set, especially when the Cap and Hydra Soldier from 2015 are still pretty easy to find online and it's doubtful LEGO will do much to improve upon those for the new set.

  15. Posted

    Eh, I suppose the AOU Cap could be improved on, but I'd only see LEGO using the new helmet piece and fixing some torso details for the 4+, considering the Endgame version isn't getting arm or leg detailing.  I would have much preferred a TFA or Stealth Suit variant, but I suppose we could get those in a later wave.  Hopefully the Hydra Soldier will have a helmet this time.  The AOU Hydra Soldiers would really benefit from leg printing, but I'm not sure that LEGO would include it.

    Bohner_bricks on IG is hinting we will get a Mario Minifigure

    Interesting.  Would we be assuming that's for the D2C?  The picture in the IG story is confusing, because it shows Mario as being smaller than the minifigure, so could that be implying it's a microfigure?  I would hope not, as I've been waiting for LEGO to do a proper minifigure of Mario for some time now.

    I call it contest of champions due to the different versions of the heroes it has, so I don't care what if they are 'accurate'. I have just all my marvel stuff up there so avengers assemble iron man, gladiator hulk and thor, and night monkey are all on the same contest of champions display. So I want the coolest/cheapest versions.

     

    I second that you should wait for the CMF for Wanda and Bucky.  For Black Widow, I'd recommend the one from last year with arm printing, the cheapest set it's found in being the Falcon and Black Widow Team Up pack for 14.99 (Though that's becoming more difficult to find, as its retiring soon).  The same figure is also in Avengers Tower and the Helicarrier.  If you're interested in the upcoming Endgame Rocket, it should be coming in the Benatar for $149.99.  Otherwise, I'd say the best one released so far is the polybag version with the dark red outfit.  The 2018 Ant-Man and Wasp from the Quantum Realm Explorers set aren't too tricky to find.  The War Machine from the Helicarrier is pretty good.  The version from the 2018 Infinity War Bricktober pack is better, but also more expensive.  However, that Bricktober pack is also the only way to get Wong, so if you're lucky enough to find a Bricktober pack for a price you are willing to pay, you can cross War Machine, Wong, and Bucky off your list at once and get an exclusive Tony Stark variant as well.  Both Doctor Strange figures that have been released are very similar, with the only differences being the hair pieces used, and the 2016 version having the collar attached to the cape, while the 2018 Infinity War version has the collar as a separate piece from the cape.

    1. Lego has made figures of Deadpool and Joker who both arguably have darker histories than Daredevil. He shouldn’t be “too dark” for the theme especially as its just a waiting game before he enters the MCU. Once a character is used in the MCU they’re safe bets for figure releases. 
     

    2. just had to look that up and wow. His torso piece works perfect for so many characters. That would be what i was thinking for the silhouette of characters like Kingpin and Bane. Great idea they should produce that someday.

    3. I’m tired of lego using pieces that are “close enough” to how someones hair is depicted also I wouldn’t be a fan of the S9 Fortune Teller Piece and they have up to this point never printed over the circumference of the head of a hairpiece such as the straight bangs I suggested before. So who knows if they can print her cap. That said Lego is way too lazy when it comes to figure accuracy for this theme and I don’t like the standard they’ve set.

    Looking at the figure leaks from this year proves my point. Rocket is the wrong color, Black Panther and Shuri need leg printing, Shuri’s hairpiece is incorrect and they printed no braid, Black Cat is alright and Iron Man needs arm printing. Maybe someday.

    You raise a good point about Deadpool and Joker.  I had assumed that Deadpool got a figure because it was released years before the Deadpool movie came out and established him as an R-rated character.  Since then, we've gotten Deadpool minifigures as SDCC exclusives but that's about it, but then again, LEGO hasn't done much of anything with X-Men related characters recently.  Joker is a weird case, because he's had a lot of different portrayals, and LEGO has done both lighter versions such as the 1966 version, and also darker portrayals such as the Dark Knight version (though that version has only been in a D2C set so far).  Joker has also had CMF figures clearly based on his outfits from The Dark Knight Returns and The Killing Joke, which would be dark enough choices, but their included accessories are even darker with the context of the original stories.  Hopefully the rumors of Charlie Cox playing Matt Murdock in Spider-Man: No Way Home turn out to be true, as that would definitely increase the chances of getting something more with the character from LEGO.

    I do think there's a chance at least one new mold could be introduced in the Daily Bugle, as it wouldn't be the first time a D2C introduced a new part.  I do hope any other new characters in the Bugle will be detailed to a satisfying degree.  Punisher has been hinted to have dual molded legs (the same as on Black Cat), so that's a plus.  Hopefully Daredevil will have leg printing like the LEGO Marvel Superheroes 2 version it's been compared to.

    Well response to the Daredevil fig seems strong so maybe when Lego has a wave that isn’t during an MCU release (which I don’t expect very much of because between Disney Plus shows and new movies MCU has a lot coming up) maybe they will then take the opportunity to make a Daredevil set and include Kingpin/Elektra/Bullseye assuming they don’t come in the Bugle.

    I wish Lego maybe a standard big fig torso mould but just the torso so the arms and legs are separate so we can get creative between brick building arms and legs vs using specialized arm/leg pieces (big fig arm pieces already exist separate legs would be the only other new thing to introduce). This could be a good base for all big figs I wish they did this over the standard big fig body which still has fixed legs. Anyways not sure Hagrids body would be able to be repurposed for Kingpin but I agree he’s between a big fig and a minifig size and getting that midsized build is a little hard for lego right now but when they master that silhouette it will work well for Bane over at DC.
     

    Disagree Elektra has straight hair that thick curly hair piece S9 Fortune Teller piece is inaccurate to her slick and often thin hair. The piece I mentioned in my post is the closest and I’d rather they print her cap on that over giving her inaccurate curly thick hair.

    My main concern is that unless Daredevil starts prominently featuring in PG-13 MCU installments/shows, the mature nature of his Netflix series could make LEGO only be willing to include him (and other characters associated with him) in 18+ sets like the Daily Bugle.

    I'm still disappointed that the large torso piece used by Mr. Incredible in the LEGO Incredibles video game doesn't exist as an actual part, because it would be really useful for larger characters that don't need to be bigfigs.

    Ideally, Elektra should probably just get a new hairpiece similar to what she got in the video games. I'm not sure how a printed cap would look, and as you mention, part 11254pb02 wouldn't get her usual hair design quite right despite the molded cap looking very close.  I think Elektra has been drawn with thicker curly hair, but it was shortlived, and I don't believe she really wore the cap during that time either.

    That would mean only daredevil, punisher and Black Cat are new characters. With 14 maybe 15 or hopefully even 16 characters 3 being new and 11-13 being repeats is not fun to think about. I think they can and should have filled in more villain slots. With Daredevil here I wouldn’t mind seeing Bullseye or Kingpin. Honestly hope Elektra gets squeezed in too even if they don’t give her a new mould and just print a red cap on  piece 17346. If we get another Mary Jane why not give her a new hair piece? We need more red hair pieces imo. If Thor gets a hairpiece that accurately resembles his beautiful endgame hair we could get that in red for MJW. Aunt May has also never really gotten an exciting figure and she’s had many depictions over the years I’d like to see other than generic old woman we keep getting from Lego. I feel like Lizard has been confirmed not to show up but Shocker and Bullseye are easy to do with no new moulds so why not? It’d be so lame if this set only got 3 new characters

     

    fingers crossed for Electro and Mysterio with leg printing

    I definitely agree that Kingpin, Bullseye and Elektra would be missed opportunities to not include, as this is probably their only real opportunity to show up in LEGO form unless we get more sets with Daredevil in the future.  Kingpin could reuse the Hagrid body mold, Bullseye doesn't need any special parts and can use the same black and white dual molded legs that will be included with Black Cat and presumably Punisher, and Elektra could just reuse the Pirate Princess hairpiece (piece 11254pb02).

    Anyone has any theory on who the remaining figs could be? (Ignoring the remaining 3-4 villains to finish the SS Lineup, I mean).

    Really, I'm hoping for a few more Daredevil/Defenders related characters to be included, in particular:

    Jessica Jones (also worked at the Bugle at one point if I remember correctly)

    Kingpin 

    Bullseye 

    Elektra 

    Those would be my top wants.  While new versions of Luke Cage and Iron Fist would be great, they probably have a better chance of showing up elsewhere compared to the others I listed.

    Hopefully the 14+ number we got means we get more than 14 minifigures.  Having around 16-18 minifigures would give more room for new characters to balance out all the repeat characters we seem to be getting.

    That collection also has Bugle frontpages with Lizard, Rhino, Sandman, Vulture, Kraven and Scorpion

    Falconfan already confirmed that Lizard won't be in the set, and he stated there will be no bigfig which probably rules out Rhino.  How many of the rest we get depends on if we're just getting six Spider-Man villains total, or if we're getting additional villains that won't be considered part of the Sinister Six.  Scorpion has the most relevance in a Daily Bugle set at least.

  24. Posted

    I wonder if Black Cat (if LEGO treats her as a villain), Venom and Green Goblin will be counted as members of the Sinister Six for the purposes of this set, despite not being members normally.  It's worth noting that Black Cat and Venom are a part of the Daily Bugle art piece collection that Falconfan is using in his stories. If the whole lineup is from that collection, I could see the lineup at this point being, Black Cat, Venom, Green Goblin, Mysterio, Doc Ock (as a prominent villain and most consistent member of the Six I'd be very surprised if he weren't included), and Scorpion (Haven't gotten him in a while, and has a prominent history with Jameson)

    Highly likely. I would've wanted Electro but No Way Home is the only chance of getting some sort of variant of the character 

    Considering that Vulture and Mysterio became reoccurring inclusions in comic Spider-Man sets after their MCU debuts, I wouldn't be surprised if Electro's MCU debut leads to him being included in comic based sets later on.
