    Marvel Superheroes 2024 - Rumors & Discussion

    Lego is very big on representation and diversity. If they're willing to throw aside Hermione and Ron in the Diagon Alley set to instead give us generic diverse students nobody wanted, then I don't see them throwing away Jubilee since she provides Asian representation. That could be in favor of Bishop and Sunspot as well. Similarly, Mystique could be considered LGBTQ representation. Although she hasn't appeared in the show yet, comic fans may have an inkling that we've seen her several times already, just not in her true form. I don't think she'll be in the set but based on the suspicion that she's playing a major part in the show, I don't think it's entirely impossible for her to be included either even if this particular report has no merit. I don't see us getting that look in the Mansion anyway. Maybe in potential S2 sets where hopefully a new mold won't be an issue.

    I don't think it would work.

    I wouldn't mind generic ghosts based on some of the background characters in later sets but not right now when we still don't have the Fat Friar or Bloody Baron. Or for that matter, the Grey Lady's depiction from the first two movies.

    Maybe he'll get two heads. Like how Miguel in the Disney CMF series had two heads: a normal one and a skeleton one.

    The Durmstrang Ship and the troll because they're long overdue. But mainly the Great Hall because I think that set more than any other will give us a good indicator on the quality of this new Hogwarts line and if it's really "the most detailed" or just more of the same that we've gotten before.

    That's interesting. Didn't realize leg printing is so expensive which is why it seems to be neglected so often. Not just in the Marvel theme, but even in Harry Potter, it's often pointed out that the characters get generic legs and no printing, even if they're wearing jeans. If Morph and Cyclops make it in the X-Mansion set, at least any printed legs used for one could be reused for the other. I'd be very annoyed if they give Morph plain blue legs like they did with Cyclops in the X-Jet.

    There isn't a Prince Eric minifigure either besides Phillip. And as you mentioned, Belle and the Beast. Donald being reused from the CMF for the castle was a weird choice. Mickey, Minnie, and Daisy all got their park outfits for the castle set, but Donald didn't for some reason. If you look at his parks outfit, it's different from his classic outfit in the CMF. The lining on his sleeves and collar is white instead of yellow, and he's got white buttons on his shirt. I'm hoping we get a new Sorcerer Mickey one day, especially since we have three different versions of Steamboat Willie Mickey. Sorcerer Mickey is another minifig I'm disappointed with. His shoes should be brown instead of yellow and the sparkles were unnecessary. But my main issue with him is his eyes. His pupils are way too big and really look out of place next to Minnie or the other Mickey minifigs. Honestly, if I didn't know better, I would think it's one of those cheap Lego knockoff figures instead of an actual Lego minifig. Florian and the Witch were also recycled in the cottage set. And Tinker Bell was also recycled, alongside Peter Pan, from the train set in the London set.

    It seems to be the trend that the sets based on the parks get minifigs. It feels like a double insult though since not only are we getting a reused minifig (one that I said from day one, I felt was an awful depiction of Aurora. Wrong hair color, wrong hair length, no molded crown, back printing on the torso, white collar, wrong shade of pink, etc.) but instead of giving us a Sleeping Beauty minifigure-scale castle like we wanted, we're only getting a microscale castle. I remember people were upset about Haunted Mansion as well, that there was no minifigure-scale set, just a microscale one.

    Wouldn't sets for Season 2 have to be in production right now then?

    I would still like to see minifigs from Fleur and Bill's wedding because we still don't have those looks in minifig form. And there's still quite a few Yule Ball outfits that could be made or updated as well although those would probably appear in a new advent calendar or set.

    Nobody seems to like this costume lol so I can see why nobody would care about getting a more accurate version. I'd like to see Sinister although with only 10 minifigs, I hope there's room for him. I don't follow the Star Wars sets anymore but I do hear complaints from most of the fandom that they're never happy with the new minifigs, especially the clone ones. They don't seem to know how well they have it though since Marvel seems to be allergic to leg printing. I feel like Beast will be likely to reappear because they'll want to include a character in the lab sections of the X-Mansion. If we're lucky we might get a new version wearing a labcoat but that might be wishful thinking. The lack of quality control on the new minifigs is the main reason why I haven't picked up the X-Jet yet. I plan on getting it eventually but I was so annoyed by the minifigs that it hasn't been a priority. Wolverine was the least offensive since at least there's a better version of him available. I saw Rogue got the most flack but I thought Cyclops was worse off. It honestly doesn't even look like Cyclops to me but like someone cosplaying him in pajamas. I can understand the lack of leg printing (although I don't agree with it, especially for the price of the set), but not even including yellow hips really felt like Lego was purposefully trying to upset people. Then the hair is way too dark (in the show, his hair is almost as red as Jean's hair) and doesn't even cover the blue on his forehead. Rogue at least is passable, from the front anyway. From the sides and back she looks like a disaster and I don't get Lego's obsession with this generic hairpiece which most of the Marvel women have gotten. Her 90s hair is so distinctively voluminous that it's just an odd choice. And I'm 99% sure that the Jean minifig will have the same hair but in red (like in the Lego Marvel Super Heroes video game). If Storm hadn't chopped off her hair into a mohawk, I'm sure they would have repeated the same hairpiece but in white, like her previous minifig. I didn't realize how inaccurate Magneto was until the show actually came out. The hair always seemed odd to me because his hair has never been that long and straight. It's like Lego got confused with his clone from the 90s, Joseph. But the show made me realize how dark his costume really is unlike the minifig which borders on pink. Like with Cyclops and even Rogue, the hair wouldn't bother so much if the actual costume was done well. I agree with you completely that it's annoying that they couldn't have just given us the perfect versions of these characters the first time around.

    I feel like if we were going to get one, we would have gotten it by now. Didn't the first two come out in 2018 and 2020 respectively? There's been quite a gap since then.

    I'm actually hoping Rogue is brought back into the X-Mansion now, at least if there's a chance she'll be upgraded. I'm not expecting a more accurate hairpiece for her but if we could get a version with dual molded legs and maybe better yellow printing on the torso, I'd be happy. Similarly, I'd like to see Cyclops used again so we can get actual leg printing and yellow hips. However, if Morph is included, his legs could feature the yellow hips and leg printing, in which case reusing Cyclops wouldn't be as necessary. It would just take a duplicate copy of Morph's legs to fix Cyclops. I know people want Magneto in his classic red and purple costume and it would be nice to get dual molded legs in a new version of that. But tbh, I'm really disappointed with his X-Jet figure and would like an upgraded version of that too. Currently, his hair is way too long and inaccurate. The Last Jedi Luke/Loki's hairpiece in white would have been perfect for Magneto. Also his costume in the show is a dark purple with a lot of black highlights, not a bright magenta. And he should have dual molded arms as well to replicate his opera-length gloves. So if any of these X-Jet characters were used again but upgraded/fixed, I wouldn't be unhappy, even at the cost of maybe new characters. As for Bishop, I agree the CMF wrestler hair would be perfect. Since that likely won't happen, I would recommend using two hairpieces from the Hobbit sets. Either Thorin's hair or Bard the Bowman's hair. Both replicate the mullet style and are most frequently used in custom Bishop figures.

    I don't even know if Xavier is a given. Maybe he'll be in a polybag. I feel only Jean, Gambit, and Jubilee are givens. Bishop is already out of the show so I can see them skipping them despite how prominent he was in merchandise and promotion. Nightcrawler is allegedly supposed to join the team eventually so he's probably more likely in future sets.
