I'd like to echo the praise for Obadiah Stane! Nice choice on the head. Also, I would've used a gray suit for Hammer, and a colored (probably a or nougat, but heck, even a blond or reddish brown) hairpiece for Pierce; Redford's hair is conspicuously dyed a not-gray color.

What about the Jurassic Park III line, from 2000? They both licensed the movie and Steven Spielberg's personal brand. They also licensed Spider-Man (2002). Granted, they're not recent. But Lego did make them. -
Goliath is a good choice for X-Men. For Winter Soldier, what about one of the AT-ST pilots? I assume you're doing the bandana cover over the mouth, and it looks decent together.
-
Oh, there are several good options. I'd rank them as follows: Bucky (Infinity War) First Order officer, male (Last Jedi) US Cavalry (Lone Ranger) Edna Mode (Incredibles) Cyclops
-
You could use a red bracket and cover the stud with a plain black round tile. Then you wouldn't see the stud, and it would be round.

I was just looking, and Magneto's seemed decent. Did you consider either of these: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=973p68c01#T=S&C=5&O={"color":5,"iconly":0} https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=973pb0218c01#T=S&C=5&O={"color":5,"iconly":0} EDIT: Or what about using a black bracket on the front of a plain red torso?

I'd go for the Gladiator variant of the Falcon hair. Favreau's hair is browner than it is black. -
Have you tried it with the black pants pictured? That's the closest to the movies, and the torso is designed to go with them. There just aren't any good Bright Orange pants for this.

Hair: * 43753 or 11256 Torso: * Bernadette or General Leia (w/ purple arms to change the vest into a sport coat) Head (I didn't try very hard on this, but there are many options. Here are a couple trying to get the "looking down her spectacles" look): * Janine or Dumbledore

Nah, it wasn't for nothing. Especially with alterations, the Loki helmet gets a lot closer to the movie design. The one I suggested is just one alternative if you want variety in your helmets.
-
If you don't want to sand down the helmet, there are other helmets in various gold colors; I like to use 24088 for Heimdall and/or Odin. It's very comic Thor-esque, even if it's not particularly accurate to the movie.

I saw a good one on Instagram that was Iron Patriot with the S7 CMF space marine armor with a red tile on the stud. They also made some non-purist additions, but I think it looks good without them.

The Mark 1 wasn't repurposed; Pepper and the Agents specifically find it intact in Stane's lab. And in the Iron Man 3 prequel comic, it was shown that Tony stripped the Mk II/VTRBS 001 back down to its original specifications for the display. So one of those is the oldest. Now, there's some debate as to whether the Iron Man 3 version of the Mk I is supposed to be an original– Pepper mostly blew up Stane's lab with the arc reactor, so is the IM3 version a salvage or a replica? But there's also debate as to how original the other suits are– for instance, the Mk III helmet was crushed, but the Iron Man 2/Iron Man 3 version of the Mk III displays it with the helmet intact. And its chestpiece is damaged, but all the other suits have their respective battle damage buffed out/replaced. And just to play Devil's Advocate on the aesthetic side of things, the vast majority of the suits we've gotten in Lego are virtually identical red-and-gold numbers, so getting more gray would really still be changing things up. -
It's quite good from the front, though the double-sided head will be a turnoff for some if they want him bald. Personally, I think using the close-cropped black hair makes the most sense for his Infinity War appearance (which the proposed facial hair matches) anyway, turning the second face into a nonissue.

I give it even odds that it doesn't appear in the movie at all. But if it does, my current bet is that it was intended to be a normal-sized variant of the Infinity War 004, and that it's portrayed as a giant mech because of Ant-Man size-changing stuff. The stickers and prints are all derived from the 004 design. -

Check other merchandise: https://i.redd.it/4y5e51wzcyn21.jpg The Ant-Man suit is Mark 006. And by comparing panels and shapes, the QRS used by Rhodey is the same suit, also the 006. But Lego has used the helmet that matches the Rocket Raccoon suit. There's no silver chin. -

Looks pretty good. A number of the most accurate parts aren't also available in the right colors (e.g. no red fingers), so you've done a pretty good job balancing that. The only one that you could easily change is I think the ingots on the second version's torso should be silver. -

Few corrections: the 42 isn't named "Prodigal Son", that was just a joke about how useless and late it is. The partial armor is another Mk. 43, not 45. The War Machine Mk 001 hasn't been made yet. The one from the Sea Port Battle is another 002, just like the Iron Patriot is, but with the gray paint job. He uses it in Age of Ultron, and in-universe used it between Iron Man 2 and Iron Man 3. And the War Machine 006 is the suit we see in the Avengers compound by Ant-Man. It's not a massive mech. The Lego mech is labeled "004.5". Ironically, while the movie's QRS appears to be a repaint of the 006, Lego's uses the helmet of the other (currently unumbered, maybe 005?) War Machine armor we know we're getting, the one where Rocket rides it. -
I don't know about the rest, but the Nexo Knights helmet (and Aaron's specifically) do look very Kree-esque. Good eye!

I don't know how much I love the fig, if we're just talking how much this fits the general Mysterio design, not trying to match it to a particular version, I'd say it's a bit too techy, and a bit too dark. Green or even bright green fits a wider number of his appearances over time. That's certainly a very Mysterio headpiece (or piece combo), though. But now that they have a headpiece, maybe in a year or two they'll put out a version that borrows a few influences from the movie but sticks closer to various classic incarnations, like they did with the recent Vulture. -

Any chance you could post/share pics of how the helmet lines up on other heads? If you've got any Rebel Troopers, they'd be the ones I'm most interested in, but if not I'd be interested in others too. -
Nice finds! I guess Lego's aesthetics have changed over the years, and I'm just too used to the new stuff.
-
Are those really purist? Both Killgrave's torso and Kingpin's face have that something that makes it not look like pad printed parts.
-
Looks like the Byters or the CyberByters? The CyberByters have eyebrows, while the Byters have the spider mouths and white space visible on the edges, so I guess it depends how well those helmets and masks cover the relevant areas.
-
I don't have that (or the MCU Vulture for that matter), but that's a pretty good suggestion! Do you have any plans for the head? I'd imagine the ideal is black (or dark gray) with bright green circular eyes, but the closest I can find are the Jawas (orange-yellow eyes) or the Batman head (full visor in green).
