Marvel Superheroes 2016 Rumors And Discussion

[N_Cat]

Hey guys, I got new information on Civil War sets, Does Green Goblin have a new face in the racers? Sorry if I got your hopes up, i've asked like 3 times now and nobody has answered.

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.

[BritishBrickFan]

I think that we need to play fair with the people who have seen these sets, they've got access to confidential information which is not yet meant to be publicly available - constantly asking for information on classified sets puts people at risk of losing their access to this information, and potentially could end up with some losing their jobs if they are found to be breaching their own contractual terms over confidentiality both with Lego and any licencees such as Marvel/DC Comics etc

for the people who have revealed what they can to date - thank you! you've managed to excite a lot of people, and we're grateful but please don't go beyond what you can (or should) reveal if it's going to affect your livelihoods

[davidmull]

Just the material they're based off of. The Marvel figures are generally based on the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies and also from their animated shows "Ultimate Spiderman" and "Avengers Assemble"

The DC figures are based on the movies from their cinematic universe and also general DC batman and Justice League comics. Both the Marvel and DC lines are under the "Superheroes" heading but they are separate from each other depending on what company they're based on

Does that help?

Thank you.

Actually dude it's a simple question, the original question was wether or not Goblin had a new face in the prelims, because i had lost my set of photos. A yes or a no would be appreciated. I fully understand it may change in the final set but considering I asked; the prelims are out, and wether or not he has a new face there can be easily checked and told. And yes, thank you to those who have told us information, I do appreciate it. I may be coming off as arrogant or greedy for information, but when the answer to my question is already out there and has a solid answer...

It took a three-second Google search to find the image.

But to answer your question, based on the prelims, Goblin has a new face. Surprising, seeing how many new prints are just whited-out, including his torso, but yeah, he has a face that is different to either side of the Juniors fig.

Three seconds. "Marvel mighty micro lego".

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.

Hoping that it will have those cool black marks on the helmet like Iron Mans armour should be actually be released. Also just gotta point out, Vision is the exact same as AOU in the movie. Only thing LEGO could change is the blue gem to its yellow color, so before everyone diminishes the idea of Hawkeye and War Machine not appearing, gotta realise if anyone ain't gonna be in a CW set, it'll be Vision

[agoodfella77]

Wait, why would you want a new War Machine? He's got the most same-y costume in the whole MCU! It's just a more generic and boring Iron Man armor!

The current blue grey War Machine variant we have looks nothing like the Mark 2 or the more updated Mark 3 as seen in the trailers. For reference a MOC depiction of the Black / Silver variant I made:

CA: Civil War [MCU] [GROUP] by agoodfella minifigs, on Flickr

[Ultron]

Nice, but where's Scarlet Witch!?

[agoodfella77]

Nice, but where's Scarlet Witch!?

Don't want to get too sidetracked here, but I based that pic off of the early artwork showing Cap's team and Tony's team (at that point Scarlet Witch had not appeared)...

[wilson3a10]

Where is spiderman: )

[agoodfella77]

Where is spiderman: )

Ha ha, that's enough with the side questions! but same answer as above -- remember that early artwork that came out with Cap's team and Tony's team? That's what this was based off of -- my next one I will def. be putting in Spidey and Scarlet W.

[Aethersprite]

Going back on topic, War Machine is going to have two shoulder cannons in Civil War - I wonder how Lego is going to pull that off.

[kevkipo]

Haha! looks neat

Dangit now i'm even more hyped, i've been busy on LDD for hours trying to make the best and coolest Team Cap vs Team Iron Man display possible.

Also one wich slot can easily be departed since we probably won't get a full team on either sides, but never say never!

Maybe the translucent neck thingy that was on the Ultron leader drone?

The sleeve on hawkeye would require a black sleeve, but since they've already done that on Superboy it's no biggy

[Bricky Dee Williams]

Maybe the translucent neck thingy that was on the Ultron leader drone?

That's wat I'm thinking they'd do. They have also used it on characters with paper wings, such as Space Batman and Hawkman, yet to be used in Marvel for anyone but the lead drone.

[IMBATMAN]

That's wat I'm thinking they'd do. They have also used it on characters with paper wings, such as Space Batman and Hawkman, yet to be used in Marvel for anyone but the lead drone.

Falcon's also very likely to have that piece and thin plastic wings as well.

[BricksrDamian2]

I bet Spiderman is the camera man:o

[Numbuh1Nerd]

Comparing the two armors from the concept art and Iron Man 3, the differences are minor. The stomach on the new suit is a bit darker, maybe some new arm printing would be fitting, and the helmet looks a bit more like Tony's from Age of Ultron, but the differences here are so minor that I don't see the need to pick him over any of the dozens of heroes in this movie. Although, it seems we may get him due to story importance based on the trailer.

[Bricky Dee Williams]

Falcon's also very likely to have that piece and thin plastic wings as well.

I wondered that, but I think Lego may be able to do more detail with the pack look and all if it is a printed hard plastic wing piece with a neck bracket. Given its a movie playset, I'd expect them to be more focused on that than comics.

[Amazing Bricks]

This is what i expect from all the minifigures we're going or if we get them:

Iron Man: Don't expect arm printing, due to the trailer, the lights all over him are very tiny. I do expect a new helmet and torso printing.As for the legs, not much going on. I was excited about this minifigure, but i think lego won't make it look good.

Captain America: Same AoU torso and head. I think he's going to have his scale printing in the biggest set he's in. Also i do expect to see a variant without his helmet.

Hawkeye: If we do get him, he's going to have one long sleeve arm and a short sleeve arm on the other side. Looking at the trailer, he looks fully black. But knowing lego, they look off concept art and he would have hints of purple on his torso. Don't expect new quivers at all, same bow and arrow. This time around he wouldn't need a goggle face.

Black Widow: We know we're getting her, I'd say she would have the first avengers hair piece. Doesn't look she has blue on her, so just a regular black outfit will be nice.

Falcon: Finn's hair piece, new double sided face with a goggle print and without them. Although he needs short sleeve printing, i don't expect at all. Just dark Silver arms would do. His wings would be the new Hawkman/Space batman style of wings.

Ant-Man: Giant version should use the new nexo knights lava monster body piece. New head piece that connects to it, should look like groot and sentinel. Microfig should be great, not much to expect from it though.

Winter Soldier: New vest printing on the torso, should have a new face. Same dark brown hair he had from the promotional polybag. He will definitely have arm printing.

Scarlet Witch: New torso and hair. I think they are going to keep her face. She will definitely have translucent red pieces.

Agent 13: i honestly don't expect her at all, she would probably have the scarlet witch hair in a dark blond color. New face for her.

Black Panther: New helmet mold for sure.

War machine: New helmet printing, he would have that new armor that Batman has in the DoJ set. The arc reactor would be printed on that.

Vision: New head with yellow infinity stone. Same torso and legs.

I expect them to give captain America a angry face

[kevkipo]

I like your list a lot! but:

(As much as i hate to admit it,) you know she's confirmed right? sadly we are getting her and she will take a slot!

I am also expecting a lot from Giant-Man, i have a feeling Marvel has only shown us the tip of the iceberg, I NEED TO SEE MORE!

[Amazing Bricks]

Hmm so she's confirmed? I guess the more females, the better. That's exciting and I'm very happy that we're getting her.
