    Marvel Superheroes 2023 - Rumors & Discussion

    So I got the full set of the Marvel Series 2 today without any repeats and thought this might be useful for those with the patience to spend two to three hours in the shop. I realised we could actually look into the little boxes to see some pieces and identify the minifigures as such. Using the flashlight from my phone, I pressed it against and shined it through one of the bottom corner holes and looked through the corresponding top corner. Move the light around and shake the box to shift the pieces inside and look for prominent colours, unique pieces or printing that stand out for each minifigure. Managed to find most of them within two hours and the last two were Moon Knight and Mr. Knight, so those two took up the last hour and a half or so. I also placed the extra ones I identified aside and helped a bunch of people get the characters they wanted, including many kids which made their day and their parents'/grandparents', so I think it was worth the hours I spent in the Paris LEGO shop.

    Might be mistaken due to lighting of the renders but the skin tone used for Namor seems to be nougat, while the Tasu Leech head is medium nougat, so it wouldn't match the Namor torso and legs. For comparison of dark nougat (Makkari) and nougat (Gilgamesh)

    No worries And me too, I'm always keen for new characters to appear in Lego and assuming there will be sets for the Thunderbolts film, we should be getting some cool minifigures!

    Not saying that the MCU won't or can't use it as a namesake for Thaddeus Ross but just to clarify, the original Thunderbolts was founded by Zemo to pretend to be heroes, debuting in a 1996 comic and the Ross version with him as Red-Hulk started in 2012. The original team is the one with iconic members like Citizen V (Zemo), Songbird, Moonstone and Mach while the Ross version was the team that had Elektra, Agent Venom and Deadpool.

    And not just that, the bags are held in place using the roller skate pieces, which I find very creatively impressive!

    Regarding the weight of his words, he has now given about three interviews expressing this but one of them has this following quote from the interview with Collider: VINCENT D'ONOFRIO: I think it's definitely a continuation, like there's no difference to me. There's the physical strength that's different. The fact that he can take more violent abuse, physical abuse is different, but it's very clear with the writers and the producers and the directors that I'm continuing the same man that was in the series a few years ago, in Daredevil. Bolded the key part of his quote to highlight that this information seems to come from higher up and not just his own sentiment.

    It's a shame that isn't to your liking, hopefully the finale will tie everything up nicely for you. I think this series is more character driven and I'm really enjoying the chemistry between Clint and Kate, and the small scale crossovers such as that Pym arrow and the certain big boss in white. Kinda puzzled by Yelena's motive, seems like she's being emotionally manipulated with the idea that Clint is to blame for Natasha's death but I'll wait to see how much she actually knows and how this ends in finale. I, for one, can't wait for the finale, the final installment from the MCU this year

    Marvel Superheroes 2022 - Rumors & Discussion

    If you don't mind me asking, what happened that made you disappointed? I was initially just excited for the change of pace from the multiverse shenanigans of Loki and What If? which I loved to the down-to-earth street level story but the series captivated me from the beginning, beyond my expectations. Not speaking for anyone else but personally while I wouldn't skip out on it, the fact that they're choosing to kill off T'Challa dampened my hype for the sequel, sure they could pass the Black Panther mantle to someone else but what I loved about the first film was T'Challa, not just the superhero, and he has so many stories from the comics that I wanted to see explored on the silver screen. Likewise, I would have preferred them allocating one of the four BP sets to Doctor Strange instead.

    Exactly, like chris6507 said, Razorfist isn't that angry to have it as his default face and I went through the Bricklink inventory once more for bearded heads, personally I like this face the best for him.

    @snoozle haha well that's the point of sharing the ideas here, so go ahead and I'm probably using this head when I get Razorfist, though it's not an angry frown that you're looking for.

    Just two witches and their animal friends left to right: Sylvie, Alligator Loki, SeƱor Scratchy and Agatha Basically just gave Sylvie a double soft dark green cape and a starched black wide shoulder narrow cape, gave Alligator Loki gold horns and made a purist Agatha with the Darkhold.

    Thought of doing the binoculars-and-two-thorns combo too when it was revealed that Lego Croki wouldn't have his horns and got a green binoculars piece from Bricklink in anticipation, Still not sure if it'll work after seeing this (though they used gold binoculars instead) but will find out in two days when the series finally drops

    @Stepwise great to hear more fans making customs of SHIELD! I might be changing Yo-yo's torso and Daisy's hair, to keep the pieces as unique as possible, cause I'm in the process making a whole bunch of other SHIELD characters now, so someone is gonna use that hairstyle and I plan on giving Sharon Carter her torso back. But here's the remaining two groups.. The Supporting Crew left to right: Piper, Davis, Deathlok, Mace, Robbie, Koenig Deathlok has silver wrist printing (arms from the minifigure series General Zod) to represent his tiny wrist rockets and Mace is holding a syringe of the Patriot serum. Robbie is the official minifigure updated with a printed leg but I have since upgraded it with a better leg print design and unfortunately there aren't any suitable pieces with lanyard printing but Koenig holds the cloaking umbrella. Powerful Guests and Allies left to right: Kora, Flint, Maria, Fury, Peggy, Creel, Sif We never saw them properly suit up so Kora is a mix of her final scene look and her 'villain' outfit while Flint is inspired by his appearance in the temple when he manifested. Maria Hill and Nick Fury are both the official minifigs with their heads updated and Peggy was a stand-in made while waiting for the official What If...? versions. Creel is in his comic Absorbing Man look with the iconic chainball and Sif is another stand-in made in hopes of an official one maybe from Thor: Love and Thunder sets. And that's it for now but more to come (possibly some very bad people)

    Thanks @lego_guyon02! That's exactly what I was going for, Simmons in season 6/7 and all the other minifigs are based on their latest or iconic appearances. Love seeing your customs too, seems like we both agreed on May's face I see some pieces you used that I've used on other characters too, like your Bobbi and my Daisy share the same hair piece. I had a personal rule of not repeating any parts, so they all have unique hairstyles and here's the next.. Newcomers to the Main Teamleft to right: Sousa, Hunter, Bobbi, Mack, Yo-yo, Deke, Enoch Sousa is more inspired by his looks in the Agent Carter series, Mack is in his final scene trench coat look which is basically one of the official Nick Fury's torso and legs. Deke is inspired by his Deke Squad attire and Enoch holds the Timestream device.

    Long time lurker here but decided to join up after seeing this thread and the SHIELD characters by @lego_guyon02 Last year for the 7th anniversary of Agents of SHIELD, I made purist minifigs for the final team, then a few months later, updated them and made a whole bunch of other characters from the series. Only ever shared them on the SHIELD reddit, so hopefully they are welcome here too The OG Six left to right: Ward, May, Coulson, Daisy, Simmons, Fitz Coulson is pretty much the official minifig but with a high-tech belt custom, Daisy's hair colour is much redder in the photo but it's medium nougat like the usual colour for Steve Rogers' blonde hair. Fitz has an ICER and Simmons is holding a piece of the Time Monolith. There are 3 more groups of other main members, supporting and guest characters but the images are way too large even after cropping and compression so I'll post them later.
