Sure you do, man! You used it on the last page on the Hydra goon!

It's less than was in Hulkbuster: Iron Man, Hulkbuster, the Hulk bigfig, Scarlet Witch, Ultron and Hulk containment unit. It sounds bigger than it is. The BvS Batmobile is pretty small, so a bigfig and a couple dozen parts to suggest a ruined building wouldn't necessarily put it over the $30 line. On the other hand, it would have been weird to include Doomsday in the only set without a hero that poses a serious physical threat to him.

I like the Netflix figures, though I'm pretty sure reddish brown or dark brown would work better for Kilgrave's hair in the Jessica Jones show.

You're right of course. It's an atrocious design, but that's not on Lego. They're faithfully reproducing one of the worst vehicle designs to grace the Avengers franchise. And like you and Dr. Axels said, it might even be a tiny improvement on that design. Doesn't change the fact that it's ugly as all get-out. Edit: Don't know if this photo is new, but it's an angle I hadn't seen before: It does show me at least one new positive: In keeping with the grand Lego Marvel tradition, it has a Fire Extinguisher! Though weirdly, it's yellow, which means that it's designed for kitchen grease fires.

Like everybody else, I think the Avenjet looks uninspiring. It does look like an earlier era of Lego design, mainly due to the old style angular cockpits, wedge design and multi-story build. I don't think a two-sided Black Panther face would work- he doesn't have hair to cover the alternate face, and adding a new mold to cover the back would be just as much work for TLG as a new helmet.

Holy cow. I opened this expecting another scaled down version, designed to be more in scale with the Hulk Bigfig. It's a pretty popular MOC- even I've done it. But this... this beast of a mech- this titan actually shocked me. The two words that I can't stop thinking are "gorgeous" and "monster." The shaping on the body, the bulk given to the "muscles," and the considerable time I'm sure it took to do all the detailing and color blocking add up to the best Hulkbuster MOC I've seen in quite a while. Seriously, you have the silhouette down cold. Nice job.

No, I'm with you. I'm a fairly big DC and Marvel guy, but I'd never heard of him either. The only one of the Legion I even had heard of was Brainiac 5. I have basically zero interest in the cube- I'd rather spend $10 on bricklink on some variant of some figure I missed in the past.

Inspired by this great thread by cebelicamya, I was looking through the history of various hair parts, and I noticed that despite being the most common hairpiece ever and still being in wide use today, part 3901 has never appeared in the DC Superheroes or Marvel Superheroes themes*. Are you guys still willing to use it for your own purist superhero figs, or do you avoid it because it doesn't match the aesthetic put forth by Lego? Or is it a completely meaningless coincidence and non-issue to most of you? *Excluding the old Spider-Man and Batman themes.

Most impressive! I have a question, though it's more about the grouping than actual missing pieces: It looks like you've combined close colors, like old gray vs bluish gray; when there's a pink multiplier, it indicates that there were other very similar colors of that mold, with the number meaning the number of shades that exist but aren't pictured. What I'm unclear on is that in some places, like 3901 (classic male hair), you've lumped together Reddish Brown and Dark Brown, but in other places, you've included both shades separately, like 88283 (barbarian hair) and 18227 (new female ponytail). Is there a reason for that?

Great job on Gamora! I've liked her for a while but she desperately needed a costume update for the film- the comic outfit was way too risqué for a mainstream release. I thought it was clever how the costumers kept the same basic pattern of fabric and straps but added to it to make actual clothes. It was a nice nod to the old costume without actually upsetting the censors. Anyway, you did great. The Oola print fits perfectly, and despite them both being Green-Skinned Space Babes, I never made that connection before. Very ingenious!

If we got Lex Luthor stealing pastries in a Lego set, that would be the best thing ever. Of course, it'd be too much of a parts investment to include all the cakes (four tens), and that's terrible. I'm not sure the joke is well known enough anyway for them to do it, but I would buy the set just for the novelty, even if the set itself is terrible.
-
I hope that's not true. I prefer helmet and hat pieces to printing of heads. (The only exception to this is Kylo Ren, who looks frickin' amazing with the hood, and less so with the helmet.)
-
Hey now, if we got a generic Reddish-Brown female face (Black Panther's assistants and guards are all black women in the comics), I'd be over the moon! So far all we have is Storm, and one face for all the women of an entire race is strange, to say the least. Edit: It is weird for all these women to be removed from the fighting, though. Black Widow can't even fly a plane- that's the reason they recruited Hawkeye in Avengers 1.
-
Alright, I never saw the promo art previously, but 10 seconds of googling (search phrase: "mighty micros lego", should be easy to find) shows, yes, there was a picture of a new face that's slightly (but not much) more frightening rather than cutesy. No idea if it's final, there's a bunch of weirdness going on in the image. Yeah, exactly.
-
Dude, take a hint. Nobody answered because nobody knows with absolute certainty yet. Just wait until we see the finalized box art or reviews of the sets.
-
Um, I'm not sure you know what purist means in this context. This thread is for figures made without altering, damaging, painting, or printing official lego parts in any way. While your figures are great, you should make a new thread just to show them off, and not post them in this thread.
-
Pretty sure that theory was later confirmed to be false by people who had actual inside sources.
-
Cool! Those all look stellar. Nice job!
-
Good on you! This has been one of my biggest frustrations with Lego Star Wars, especially with Ki-Adi-Mundi, Shaak Ti and Aayla Secura, who only ever came with those ridiculous eyes but appeared prominently in the main saga. l mean, seriously, the designs are soooo bad they didn't even use them in the video game based exclusively on those characters!
-
That could be official, I suppose. The chest repulsor/reactor/unibeam whatever is circular, which raises an eyebrow to me; Mark 39 had an inverted trapezoid in the film, and I figured they'd stick to that. It also had a lot more gray on the chest area. That's hardly a deal breaker, though. Edit: Having looked more again, the Underwater suit doesn't match Mark 37 in anything other than color scheme either. I guess they aren't really doing movie designs, they're just doing "close enough."
-
Whoa, cool! Yup, that's legit. I don't know how I missed this post the other day, but that's awesome.
-
But there have been pictures with dozens or hundreds of these figures! Why would they need that many to test a proof of concept? I can understand QC on a finished figure, but this is not it.
-
He looks really good! Clearly recognizable as Ultimate Thor to me! I don't know about the hammer, though. I mean, I like the extension with the Lightsaber handle, and obviously the axe blade is important, but the regular Mjolnir doesn't really look like Ultimate Mjolnir. Maybe you could experiment with brickbuilt solutions a bit?
-
At first I was briefly worried, seeing the Mk 45[?] in the Avenjet, rather than the Gemini. Then I looked at the Skull Submarine, and they used the same stand in figure for Iron Man there, too. If they've used a random, non representative version of Iron Man in one set, only to later replace him with an appropriate MCU variant despite color and suit differences, who's to say they haven't already done it in the other set as well? Also, maybe I'm looking at too low a resolution, but, uh, I don't see Carol in that cockpit. Am I crazy?
-
Panther had a weird brass knuckles-esque piece in the Lego Marvel game to represent fingertip claws. Was that a real part, or was it just made up for the game? Even if it wasn't real, they could make something like that in the future to represent claws.
