I don’t see how Kate and Clint’s costumes are similar. Same with Moon Knight and Mr. Knight. Both can be included, and I suspect they will be.

Even if Kamala's in the set, I imagine she'd still be in the CMF. She's the title character of her own series, and like Captain Carter, she can have different suits, one for the CMF and one for the set. Accounting for all the title characters we've missed, I would anticipate: - Clint & Kate (title characters) - Moon Knight & Mr. Knight (title characters; major theme is Marc and Steven's coexistence, so both feel necessary) - Ms. Marvel (title character) - She-Hulk (title character) - Jack Russell (title character; increase genre diversity with horror; appeal to adult fans with more mature characters) - Nick Fury (title character; Secret Invasion releases this year, so advertising him may be a higher priority for Lego, along with other newer projects like Loki & What If...?) - Two more female characters for gender diversity (Ex. Layla, Elsa Bloodstone, Agatha, Kahhori, Hela, Cassie) - Two more male characters to complete the series (Ex. Daredevil, Talos, Mobius, Kang, Classic Loki, Ultron, Kraglin) I'm not sure how likely Lego is to repeat characters from the first series. Despite a Season 2, I'm not confident we'll get Loki or Captain Carter. Also, despite the the first series being exclusively Disney+, I wouldn't rule out film characters, particularly those from newer projects like Kang, Cassie, and Kraglin/Cosmo. I would rule out comic-exclusive characters, since the series is Marvel Studios specifically.

For hypotheticals sake, it'll probably be twelve, but yeah, it's possible it could be more. The designers of the first series were interviewed two years ago regarding their thought process in selecting who. Based on what they described, the themes of the story and diversity (particularly gender and age) will likely play a major influence on this upcoming series. Here are a couple links for anyone interested: Themes: Mr. Knight will likely be included because of the major conflict of Marc and Steven fighting for control throughout the series. Gender: The last series, along with the past several unlicensed series, had at least five female characters, so I suspect there to be five female characters, no more, no less. Age: Some to appeal to young kids (Kamala, Kate, etc.) and some AFOLS (Daredevil, Moon Knight, Werewolf, etc.) It's odd that Marvel's promoting What If...? despite not releasing till Fall at the earliest, but assuming they do include figures in the series, and assuming they don't repeat characters (Captain Carter and Loki), I think Kahhori is a reasonable inclusion considering her significant role, themes of her story, and visual appeal. I really hope we get Daredevil, Steven, Layla, etc, but as long as the character is significant for the reasons above, I think most people will be pleased with her appearance.

I can't speak for everyone else, but this does intrigue me, and I hope to see her in Lego form!

Anybody else see the What If...? Funko pops? I know Season 2 won't release till October or later, but I'm unsure what these Funko releases means for Lego potential, especially with the CMF in a few months.

May at the earliest, in my opinion.

I qualified my statement for film tie-ins. I wouldn't be surprised if Lego eventually makes a Captain Marvel buildable figure, but not as a film tie-in. For that, I think we'll still get Minifigures.

With Ant-Man, there's some logical extent since he and Wasp can grow and shrink. But with Captain Marvel, it wouldn't make sense for them to have buildable figures that tie into the films.

Tbf, a $30 Ant-Man set with no figures felt unrealistic, so did a $35 Guardians set with only one figure. If we get more than the main three in the Marvels set, I'm guessing they'll reuse the same Nick Fury figure since 2019. No other merchandise or toy leak from other companies has suggested we're getting anyone other than the main three. I hope we get more though.

Some What If...? Funko Sodas have started popping up (Captain Carter and a new character, Kahhori). What's the likelihood of a set in near future?

The armory did have a lot of Minifigures, but most of them were repeat prints. Only three, I think, were new, unless you count the new helmet mold. I feel confident we'll get the three protagonists, but I hope they include more.

I believe these may be fake. They look like sawed off versions of Nya's helmet piece. https://brickipedia.fandom.com/wiki/Nya

How far out from release does Lego actually start producing Minifigures in factories for a piece to leak this soon?

Comparing to other toy companies and the merchandise that has leaked so far, I would expect Carol, Kamala, and Monica. No one else. Watch us get a brick-build of Kamala's bangle you can wear on your wrist.

@FoggyFate Could 76269 be the X-Mansion or no?

The Marvels just got delayed to November. The set's scheduled for May though. What are the chances we get another Gargantos situation and the set still drops in a couple months?

Ironheart was formerly planned for Fall, so I was never confident she or anyone in her series would be in the CMF. A Captain Carter pop did leak recently, but there was another leak a few months ago that suggested pops would drop last month. Back in December, Disney+ released a promo to celebrate the new year and only included clips from Secret Invasion and Loki, so I imagine it was early enough for Lego to switch up their roster to exclude What If characters (unless there's some from Season 1) to accommodate the delays. We first got figure leaks as early as April for the first series, so if they're still in the designing process, Secret Invasion and Loki are the only 2023 projects I would anticipate.

I wouldn't bet on What If or Ironheart, but I am optimistic and excited for what the CMF could bring.

I feel your pain.

After Thanos, Lego really just said, "No more purple villains."

I wouldn't get my hopes up for another Quantumania set. It's possible, but I wouldn't stress over it.

Not entirely pleased with the set, but not too upset. I wish we had gotten Minifigures, but Ant-Man is certainly the exception and not foreshadowing of future sets without figures. Ant-Man can grow to giant size and Wasp can shrink to bug size. As disappointed as I am to not figures, their powers are reflected in the set. And it's cool to finally get a newWasp Microfigure to pair with Ant-Man from Civil War/Endgame.

Hey now; I've been with Ant-Man day one. I just want more Minifigures.

- The mini builds (Surprise! I like them too) - Which variants of characters (Will Strange be from NWH or MoM, Will Iron Man be Mark 6 or Mark 50?, Will Nakia have a different hair piece?, etc.)

Excited, as many other are, that we're getting another NWH set with the other Peters. Even if we don't get Lizard & Sandman, I can't wait to see how Doc Ock, Electro, and Gobby look. Not a fan of the buildable figures. Hopefully the Cap & Widow bike chase is based on Winter Soldier. I'm a little more interested than I previously was with the Advent Calendar. The character choices are interesting. Happy to see how it looks.
