Doesn’t look like the sets are at SDCC, unless they plan to reveal them part way through (I don’t know if they ever do that?) Hope we get something better than these 4 blurry pixels soon

I’m pretty certain that’s nightcrawler, not gambit in that hand, you can see the blue face. The thing bottom right doesn’t look like a figure to me, if you look at Thor nearby, it’s too small. I think it’s supposed to be torn metal coming out of the damaged sentinel arm on the ground. If you look at the other photo you can see something similar coming out of the bottom of the damaged head.

The colours looks the same to me, just different colour correction on the picture. Where are you seeing a 7th fig? If you mean bottom right that looks like part of the spare arm rather than a Minifig to me. The extra head is there, bottom left under its foot, the whole base is flipped. I’m not sure this is a prototype, just looks like a different image of the same set to me.

Could just be the blurry photo but it’s looking very 4+ Sentinel looks great though, was a bit worried they might desaturate the colours for the MCU. My eyes could be playing tricks on me but old Stretch does appear to have the woody/avatar legs (and presumably arms)

Did Yelena get long arms before Reed?!

I don’t find it at all surprising that not all characters have been included, there’s just too many and if they hold some back now, they can be included in future sets to help them sell better. I also don’t think they will be using something as woolly as character popularity to determine who to include, there just isn’t enough hard, sales based, data for a lot of these characters. Sure they know Spider-man is popular because they have sales data from sets that just include him but a lot of these characters it will be really hard for them to tell. You have to remember not everyone is terminally online and the majority of people who like these characters enough to buy a set with them in aren’t posting about it online, so online comments are not a good data source for what will sell well. Looking at the spread they mostly seem to have picked the characters that have had the most screen time/were the lead in their movies (barring a few exceptions) which is the logical thing to do. The oddest omission by far to me is Sue, just because they are such a small, close knit team (with the number of them in the name) and she was more or less the lead of their mcu movie. This is most likely based on the focus groups they would have done with kids for the galactus set, I can easily imagine kids not picking her as their fav just based on her not having long legs/big hands/fireballs. Antman not being there is kinda strange but he could have bad sales/bad focus group responses from his previous LEGO outings. Mystique was (for some reason) a lead in most of the Fassbender/McAvoy era movies. Nightcrawler is odd. Shang Chi and Shuri they have sales data for so those sets likely sold poorly. The trailer got me pumped and did a great job hyping up Doom as a threat. Glad he has an accent, gives me hope he’s not just a Stark variant which in my opinion would be doing dirty one of their best characters from the comics. The X-men nostalgia didn’t land for me although if I didn’t already know they (and Steve) were going to be there this really would have hit so hard. Not really their fault, if they hadn’t announced it I’m sure it would have been spoiled anyway.

There’s some drawings of the sets out. Hard to tell what they’ll be like but some things we can glean: dual molded legs for shirtless Thing (barefoot, not boots). Cyclops appears to have a molded visor (not a guarantee though). No stretch arms for Reed, possibly long legs but it’s very hard to tell and I’m leaning on no. Nightcrawler has a cutlass and it looks like grey hair. That’s about all the interesting things I can make out. Avengerz tower looks surprisingly good for how short it is, quinjet looks like a quinjet and sentinel looks like a sentinel.

Can I just say thanks to @Mandalorianknight for using the spoiler tag and it would be great if people replying to them could remember to do the same. Even rumours can spoil a movie for those wishing to go in without knowing anything.

Wow, I was so wrong, was not expecting it to be so different. It looks great but I think I actually prefer the comic version, hoping that comes in a mech or magazine so I can get it cheap. I will definitely try and get some of that shoulder armour though as it really helps to balance the big hood.

I'm sure they'll squeeze in a hulk-buster or 3

I was thinking that torso could be used to make a cool custom spider-variant, not sure who though

Lego are really trolling us with releasing blue/white dual moulded legs that are not quite the right shade of blue for fantastic four. First the Cute Witch in the cmf and now this cyclist in the June BAM wave

Spoilers for Daredevil Born Again Season 2 final episode plus non-spoiler conjecture about Brand New Day: I’m actively avoiding leaks and spoilers for Brand New Day so if you have any that relate to my theory please use spoiler tags.

I'd say the head and legs look close enough to what we have seen of MCU Doom to make me think thats what we are getting, but I would be shocked if we don't get a different torso. The only reason I could seem them changing the legs is if they want to go with a darker green.

That new Chopper body from One Piece could be interesting for Rocket
