The beatbox parts themselves (casing parts, display stands, hinged tiles, handle parts), and most of the parts from other themes, are available on B&P. A handful of the Bandmates parts as well.

Marvel Superheroes 2021 - Rumors & Discussion

Charlie Cox was confirmed as Matt Murdock in NWH last year. It was a major thing on a Marvel fan FB page I follow. It's unlikely he'll be suiting up, but a courtroom scene is probably a given. I always said the best way to weave FF, and Netflix Marvel, into the MCU was to have Reed Richards sue Stark Industries for the patent rights and profit share of the Quinjet (and it's cloaking technology). AOS had the Quinjet printed with the Stark industries logo, so it stands to reason that Reed worked for Stark for a time (probably while Obadiah Stane was still a "trusted friend"). Foggy Nelson should be the lawyer, and for an added bit of layering have Hank Pym in the scene saying how he warned Reed not to work for Stark. Winning such a suit would be how Reed funds his space exploration company (think Elon Musk). This would all be best as a post credits scene in the next Ant-Man movie. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back to Lego: For Kingpin to be done right an oversized torso, and possibly something to increase his leg length, is a must. According to the Marvel website's character list, he is 6'7" and 450 lbs. Nowhere near bigfig size. For The Lizard, Lego could use a head part similar to a couple of the Ninjago snake villains, with the CMF Faun legs appropriately printed. -

To do The Lizard right they'd need to do something akin to Leatherhead. -

The newer helmet mold isn't even exclusive to Marvel. It gets used for one of the villains in Monkie Kid. -

According to that sticker from the previous Sanctum Sanctorum set, Netflix Marvel is the MCU. They also have the only season of Spider-Man Unlimited. Check it out. -

I've been wishing for Lego to do Spider-Man Unlimited, mainly for Spidey himself, but if they did, Venom and Carnage would have to be bigfigs. I think Marvel itself has enough rights to Stan Lee's image for a minifig to be created. His likeness was used as "Stan Lee creator of Spider-Man" at the end of the Madame Web storyline in the 90s TV show. His likeness was used in the comics for decades as part of the Stan Lee's Soap Box section in the back of many Marvel titles. In any event there is a Daily Bugle employee named Lee Kirby, an amalgamation of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby (remember him?), who was created to honor both men. -

On The Daily Bugle, I expect to have Mac Gargan, either as Venom or Scorpion, since it was Jameson who was responsible for his becoming Scorpion in the first place. -
If there were the capacity to do their own printing, or even just decals like some aftermarket sellers, then figs wouldn't be a problem. Lots of other details too. Sourcing arms and armor might be an issue. This all depends on how Bricklink sources its parts.

This is the point exactly. Also the perpetuation of a xenophobic stereotype. The behavior is depicted as unwanted by the pursued in the cartoons, but the attitude is presented as if it is socially acceptable by the French.

Anyone who knows Spider-Man should be guessing this: 14. Joseph "Robbie" Robertson. -

The printing presses are in the basement. I seem to recall a fight between Venom and Spidey there in the 90s cartoon. -

It's just the printed swimming cap piece from this Peter Parker fig. She's known to lift Spidey's mask to get a kiss, though to recreate that, you want Spidey from this set. -

Mantis could have a cloth piece, as factory leaks like that tend to not have those. I have no real interest in the character, but that torso print could have some interesting uses. -
Back In Action was an utter waste, which I couldn't even finish watching. One of the bits of schlock Brendan Fraser has done since his star power waned. If we were to get Duck Dodgers, which version of Cadet Pig do we think more likely, green leotard or lavender jumpsuit?

michael_bricks_f0rever proved it's possible to fake the Bucky torso image. Still could be real, but it's more doubtable now. -

On the subject of US Agent, if the series follows John Walker's story appropriately, then he, as Captain America, is supposed to be reported as dead before he shows up again as US Agent. I would expect that to happen near the end of the season, if not in the last episode. Denying a US Agent fig in what is known by those willing to share doesn't really mean much, because Walker's Captain America appearance is distinct enough from his US Agent appearance that the former could still be in the mix. Until a reliable leaker says we aren't getting John Walker in any form this year, I'll hold out hope. -
I expect we'll see a number of window panels. There's a Unikitty figure part that could be used for some interesting details.
-
The RR plume being a separate piece has upped his usefulness. Now I need a bunch of him for that alone. I'll have to experiment with the rest of the parts.
-
I can see a logic behind excluding Foghorn Leghorn, as his longstanding speech pattern is a caricature of a Southern plantation owner.
-
About that piece, I've long hoped we'd get these three windscreens (part 1, part 2, part 3) in stone colors so that they could be used with it. I would also like this part in castle building colors to mate with the other usual panels.

T'Challa doesn't have his mask when he shows up for the final battle in the movie. Could this have all been a mistake by someone who saw a BP figure for the set with Chadwick's face, and simply assumed that a new helmet mold would come with to cover it? -

CMFs get sent to retailers, where a lot of leaks like that happen. D2C sets don't, so it would take someone that is part of Lego's own internal supply chain to do it, or a deliberate tease by Lego to increase interest. Not likely to happen with The Daily Bugle. -
Bugs, Lola, Daffy, Taz, Porky, Marvin, and Wile E. are perfect representations, so I'd get at least one of each to keep as is. I'll get RR, and try to mod him. Which pale blue is that? I'd try to get extra of Marvin, and possibly Taz, for parts. Speedy and Petunia are also parts useful. I'd probably give Petunia other 'clothes', and keep her with Porky. Tweety being out of scale makes him and Sylvester easy passes.

Taz's "dust devil" looks to be made with the outer shell of a Dimensions stand.
