Buckethead

I hope there's an order to them, but this is also a useful method for anyone who wants to narrow their options.

Two options: 1. Marvel doesn't have the right to his likeness, similar to how Peter Parker doesn't look like Tom Holland. 2.

I've noticed that for past Marvel sets, there are usually no more than three exclusive minifigures in a set. Minor exception include D2Cs. Normally, we get multiple sets with repeat figures, or the price is reduced. Neither action is seemingly being taken to increase set number or reduce the price. I believe the four minifigures in the X-Jet will be exclusive, but I imagine a couple of them will be included in the X-Mansion if it's a D2C.

The only "villain" I've seen marketing for are the Sentinels, so perhaps we get a Sentinel in one of the sets. Kinda surprised considering the sheer number of buildable figures Lego is making that they haven't developed a buildable Sentinel. Seemed like the perfect opportunity.

Besides the CMF characters: Magneto, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Rogue, Gambit, Jubilee, Bishop, Morph, and Sunspot These characters are frequently used by other toy companies and featured heavily in the promotional material. Unlikely anyone outside these nine names will be included.

Yeah, well . . . one can only dream.

The May CMF is titled "Space." Assuming it's not a licensed theme, I imagine the September CMF will be licensed, but I'm hesitant for the time being that the next licensed series would also be Marvel. It's not impossible; it's been done before, but it's still a little too early to know for sure. Also, is there another thread for CMFs? I'm not sure if discussion can be expanded further in this thread or another.

Most of the toys and marketing I've seen for the series doesn't suggest Cable. It'd be great to get him, but he's incredibly low on the list, I believe. Besides the CMF figures, I suspect Magneto is the most likely figure, with others such as Cyclops, Rogue, Gambit, Jean Grey, Jubilee, and Bishop as likely choices.

Moon Knight's my favorite. Love his design. Looks like his cape has the traditional two overlapping holes instead of the one, which is great. It's nice getting a figure for Stephen as well. Echo does not look comic accurate, but I am loving the red and native colors. Her hair is new (braided and red). HER LEG IS A NEW MOLD!!! Glad Wolverine comes with hair, and I like that he stills has blue shoulders and dual-molded boots. Goliath looks incredible (glad he has hair too). Storm's new hair looks better with each image. I'm glad to see Beast with his reading glasses. The black streaks in his hair is an odd and interesting touch. Kate has her arrow heads printed on, which is neat. Happy to see a new bow, but a bit boring that the quiver for her and Clint are old. Like Hawkeye's new hair mold and dual-molded arms. I like Agatha's printing, and I'm happy to be getting the Darkhold. As a horror fan, I'm ecstatic to be getting Werewolf. Love the dual-molded legs and new hair piece. The bloodstone is a nice addition. Kinda wish we had gotten Man-Thing and Elsa as well, but it's going to be really cool seeing him paired up with Moon Knight, Agatha, Zombie Cap, etc. I think they mean the theme as a whole.

All this talk of X-Men sets in January, and I completely forgot the very real possibility of another Hydra Stomper.

I am really hoping some of those January sets are for X-Men. Not sure what builds they would do, but Marvel recently had this promotional material for the series. It appears these will be the core members, so if we do get sets, these are the likely candidates for figures. https://twitter.com/XMenUpdate/status/1682891834412941313/photo/1

The original leak shows an alternate face, so perhaps only one side has the tattoo.

Does Lego still do the six-pack CMF boxes? And are the six minifigures random, or are they the same six figures split between group A and group B?

They do look completely different, but Brick Clicker didn't "look" at the figures themselves. He was likely provided descriptions rather than pics; otherwise, he wouldn't have clarified not knowing whether She-Hulk would have long limbs or if Werewolf would be I color or not because he would've already seen them. He even mentions in his video responding to the leaked image from last week that Goliath was likely confused for Kang from the beginning. Also, another thing I noticed: Storm, Moon Knight, and Agatha are all described as having capes in the CMF, while a cape for Kang was never mentioned, possibly because Goliath doesn't have a cape.

Before Brick Clicker, the only details we had were a “blue version” of Kang with a helmet, hair, and microfigure. The only new detail was a blue head, which Goliath could still have. Take away the Kang title and it sounds like Goliath. I don’t think we can say with a guarantee that he was or was not replaced.

I'm not fully aware of Lego's routine for creating these minifigures, so it hypothetically could be that two figures were swapped. However, Promobricks initial description for Kang was "the blue version." At first I thought they meant his mask, but in retrospect, it's a fairly odd descriptor for Kang. Ant-Man 3 also introduced thousands of new variants of Kang, so someone may have seen the movie and assumed the figure they saw was one of those variants (especially if they saw an Ant-Man micro figure, helmet with blue visor, and Finn hair piece). Not sure what the extra blue head could be for, but we do know the descriptions aren't fully accurate (i.e. Moon Knight's hood and Beast's hair). In preliminary images, some molds (including familiar molds) can still appear wonky, so it's possible someone confused the helmet for a new mold.

I feel similarly that he'll likely be perceived like Wolverine is. My main concern comes with the CMF. Given his popularity, the excitement fans had for his appearance in She-Hulk, and his upcoming solo series, I would have thought he'd be in the CMF. We don't know for sure why he was excluded, but the pessimist in me wonders if his Netflix reputation affected his inclusion (hopefully not, and hopefully they excluded him simply because there wasn't room or they're reserving him for a future set).

Maybe. Daredevil's in a weird scenario where much of his association is with Netflix and its mature rating. It may continue to have a mature rating in his own series, but he's also popping up in other PG-13 or TV-14 projects like She-Hulk. I'm inclined to believe he will be made, but could his own show's rating affect his role in other projects like Spider-Man?

I heard rumors the new Daredevil show may be TV-MA, meaning we might not get sets of figures from the series, but considering Daredevil will be in Spider-Man: Freshman Year, what are the odds we still get him if/when Lego makes sets for Freshman Year?

What else is confirmed to be releasing this year? - August: Spider-Man NWH set, Claws, Shield, Wolverine buildable, Spider-Man art, Venom Groot, Infinity Saga sets - September: CMF, Advent Calendar - October: The Marvels set - Novembers: Avengers Tower set Are there any I'm missing, or are there more sets scheduled this year we don't know of?

It's weird too since other toy companies recently showed off their merchandise for X-Men, but Lego hasn't released any official images. Hopefully we get images soon now that other companies like Hasbro have already revealed theirs publicly.

That's pretty cool. Not only are we getting more X-Men figures with the Cmf (and hopefully sets), but I'm also hopeful that if TT Games makes another Marvel game, we get the X-Men back. May you provide a link to the post, please?

Does anyone in here have any business experience? I feel as if there has to be a reason for Lego increasing the prices for sets that have lately been decreasing in number of pieces and new molds. Like, is Marvel just not as popular any more?

Just realized Promobricks initial list of included Mini-figures described Kang as the "blue version." It was literally Goliath the whole time.

Or course not. An Infinity Saga CMF sounds awesome, personally. But for the time being, Lego is choosing to reserve their Disney+ shows and characters for CMFs, so relative to what the CMF is, I think the lineup is really good (although I still wish we had gotten Daredevil).
