Cap falcon seems the "busier" one because he has many tiny parts/details breaking up the dark blue & white, whereas spidey's detailing is just lines to break up the plain blue. Regardless, I'm happy our first (retail) Falcon Cap minifigure is via a CMF budget that gives him all his detailing, because I'm sure he won't be as detailed the next time he shows up in normal sets. Speaking of which, considering what they did for this first wave of NWH sets - I wonder if they're going to this from now on with MCU movies, and if it might give us a chance to get a "Inspired from FATWS" set whenever Cap 4 comes out?

same issue with wanda - fantastic body printing but it gets weird as soon as you get to the head, which I think it's mostly the shape of the top of the goggles, it just looks weird to me. Also I'm really hoping it's the lighting the pic was taken in, but you can clearly see the white printing on his chest is not matching the white upper arms.

Going back to the mediocre Hydra stomper mech set, it seems the renders also have that "new" version of the balljoint cup brick with the extra line in the middle (like we saw with the scrapbuster set), and the IRL pics show the normal version, which is weirder since those bricks never showed up in dark green until now.

They'll probably show up for MOM sets, just like the cape. This whole wave of sets is honestly incredible, from the detail of the minifigs to the fact that lego probably remembered the Endgame concept art fiasco and decided to give us accurate representations of Vulture, Mysterio, and Bosco suit Spidey. The only thing that could've really topped it off is if the CMF got also revealed, but considering it's coming out in September that would mean a late July/early August reveal. SDCC is happening at the end of July, which seems perfect to reveal them.

I wonder how big this baby croc mould will be, and after the Wanda leak what are people thinking - printed or dual moulded crown?

After seeing the leak, I am convinced that we will never get a complete SW minifig - it's either the missing cloth, wrong hair colour, and/or now the printed tiara instead of dual-moulded. This is as good as it'll get, her MOM version will probably be a sidegrade or downgrade since they likely won't have CMF-level of budget. The rest is actually very good. I get the argument that since the real one is pretty thin then a moulded one might've looked off, but the edge of the tiara shape in the hair is just weird looking. here's hoping Sylvie's one is actually moulded.

On a slight deviation, a friend on discord sent me a leak of what may seem to be Cap Spidey's torso - it's on #legoleaks if you scroll down a bit (it was posted about 6 hours ago by lego_panther_bricks), and it seems believeable and unique enough to be real - thoughts?

Hm, what if the 2 tesseracts were different? One could be normal trans. light blue, and the other one trans. opalescent light blue. I feel like it would really work for the energy effect the tesseract gives. Also shame it's red skull again. I was hoping for a random Hydra goon.

The tesseract seems to be a transparent minecraft head indeed, so good job whoever guessed it, because they'll definitely use it for CMF carter as well (maybe there's hope for a variant with printing?)

huh...the boxart background looks A LOT like Sakaar from the scrapbuster set... Also dark green is a surprising choice - I thought they would've gone with sand or olive.

Don't forget also the fact that LEGO has been trying to tap in the gaming market for a while now. I'd expect at least 1-2 sets in between all MCU stuff we're gonna get next year. And actually, if the SE avengers sets are of any indication, SE GOTG sets could give us a mix between game and comic minifig designs (thinking about black panther, hawkeye, Falcon & BW and Red Skull).

I can already see 20 or so sets with the same star-lord using the same 1-piece helmet as 2020 iron man... I'm not entirely opposed to sets on this, simply because I'm open to any sci-fi sets that isn't star wars, regardless they're good or bad design-wise.

They all mostly seem to have unique parts, but yeah Falcon and Carter should be the easiest ones for the wings and whatever brick they use for the tesseract respectively. I do hope that the WV figs come with some accessories, since PB did not say anything about what they come with, even if it's power blasts/effects.

The whole list is interesting and even if not all the figs are desirable I'm sure they'll have good parts for customs, but what caught my eye is that Bucky comes with a shield... They wouldn't do the bloody shield, right? The only other thing I can think of is Walker's DIY shield, and as nice as it would be to get it, I'd see it as a dick move since we're not getting a Cap Walker fig here, and whenever they'll make him it'll be in his USAgent outfit. Alternatively it could be the shield piece in brown/dark tan to imitate the bag Old Man Rogers had the new shield in Endgame, but that would also be a weird choice. Monica also wouldn't need dual moulded arms if they did her finale outfit and not the spacesuit, at most just printing at the top to match the top blue section. And if this is where we get captain carter...what's gonna be the difference between CMF and her version in the Hydra Stomper set, unless they decide to be bold and only have Steve & hydra in the set, forcing people to get the CMF to get Carter.

Imagine if the one who gives us the most accurate dual moulded legs is Spidey Cap FalconCap might not work if they decide to do dark blue/silver or grey to imitate his shin armor, and zombie cap will most likely be with rotting print. Our hopes are basically Carter or Spidey.

Lady Loki is the 2nd fig apparently.

Behind it, a communications and surveillance station is active during missions, used to contact squad units or the nearest Futuron Security Inc. vehicle units or HQ to report mission status updates or request backups.

On the top, a Long-Range SOUNDEON Radar system is placed to aid the pilot with constant GPS updates.

It looks like the next Avengers magazine is coming with the war machine fig from the 2020 helicarrier, complete with backpack that he had in the set That's definitely one I'm not gonna miss!

I can't seem to find the full list of rumored builds/figs, is hawkeye coming in the advent calendar?

Oh god that Miek head

Thank you both! Thanks, but it was more to add in a reference/homage/easter egg to Futuron itself while at the same time trying to show how they would've changed in a cyberpunk setting. I admit the backstories I've been making are also short/vague just to add something extra to the builds. The closest thing connected to Futuron would be the use of the S21 troopers.

Well, at least I'm not worried at all when Armor Wars will come out! Then again it's been 5 years and still no Peni & SP//DR...

White Bone demon mech just leaked and I'm SPEECHLESS!

It seems the announcement was for none other than their own convention - LEGOCon: https://www.lego.com/en-gb/lego-con Having seen other online cons from toy companies, the bar is so low it's almost set to the floor, but I'm sure the main draw for most people will just be the set reveals.

A bigfig mech! That's a first. I really like how Pigsy's tank body looks like a noodle bowl, complete with giant chopsticks (those would've made great shoulder cannons, but I guess would've taken more parts).
