Marvel Superheroes 2016 Rumors And Discussion

[benderisgreat]

Hopefully hobgoblin has that peasant hood piece in orange. I think it'd be little more accurate, in my opinion

Nah, he will probably use regular hood in orange, and personally I think it suits classic Hobgoblin ( which is probably the version we will get).

Nice to see Spidey's rogues gallery is expanding! It's gonna be hard for me to justify getting the bridge battle, despite how much I want that Scarlet Spider and Green Goblin, but if that Spider-Girl somehow turns out to be Spider-Gwen I'd have no choice! It seems weird that they're doing Gwen's dad before Gwen, but I guess it's better to have an actual character instead of a generic cop. I don't mind Ghost Rider getting a huge bike, since we've got plenty of options for regularly sized motorcycles. The thought that he might be getting a new piece for his flaming head seems really odd, since it would be passable and they JUST made that piece. Then again, I don't think I'll ever quite be satisfied with flaming minifigure parts until we manage that Hunger Games fake fire technology Vulture and White Tiger are selling that Doc Ock set for me, and I don't think I'd mind too much having an extra classic Doc Ock. The Doctor Strange set sounds really interesting and I can't wait for new details. That's easily the biggest hint we've had yet about the villain in this movie. Hoping at least one of these Spider-Man figs is a variant, though, and that one of the smaller sets come with boots.

Strange that they would use the Ben Scarlet Spider when by all account it's Kaine who will be starring in the cartoon this season.

I still believe that there will be a 4th Civil War set. Too many characters missing like Spiderman, Baron Zemo, Vision, and Hawkeye.

That seems to be a common theme across the board though. Most of the toy lines for the movie don't have the full cast. The Funko line is missing Vision, Hawkeye, Spider-Man, and Zemo, the Hasbro line is missing Scarlet Witch, Sharon Carter, Zemo, Ant-Man, and Spider-Man, and the Hot Toys line is missing Spider-Man, Scarlet Witch, Black Panther, and Zemo.

Not that there definitely won't be a 4th set, but with a cast this big, someone is inevitably gonna get shafted.

EXACTLY!!! The Ben Reilly costume has appeared in less than 2 minutes of an episode. Spider Girl (Petra) has appeared in 1 1/2 episodes. Yet Kaine is going to become a series regular and Spider Gwen is an up and rising Marvel hero star, not to mention the George Stacy figure. It also feels like the bridge (and DC Scarecrow set) are missing out on figures. I recall the BvS Batmobile was shown at a toy fair or something, yet the forklift and goons were not. Maybe they've just removed some figures. Like they leave the best bits as a tease. Similar to how nobody can identity the Strange set

I have added up all the updated prices of the sets. As of right now buying all the marvel sets except the mighty micros, will cost me around $425. That's not even including the 4th

Civil War set!

[Ashnflash]

SO MUCH NEWZ!!! I LOVE THESE FIGS! Captain Stacy but no Gwen... Interesting... I LOVE IT THOUGHHHH

[djmangunz]

I believe just2good brought that rumor, I'm having my doubts about it.

Nah, I wouldn't second guess J2G. He's about the most reliable source of information around here and if he says it's happening, you can count on it.

[NXS7]

His information is like his name; just2good

[YoshiBlockr]

The name says it all. He is Just Too Good!

They said the bike will be the size of the bike from the Lego movie so it probably won't be

[Marvelfan120]

As far as the fourth civil war set goes; I read an article recently saying that Marvel and Sony are still ironing out some of the merchandising rights for Spider-man. If indeed spidy is in the set Marvel can't show it until the they dot the T's and cross the I's on the contract with Sony.

[Airbenderfreak]

I like the sound of the bridge set! If Spider Girl ends up being Gwen then I will probably get it!

That would also explain why Spider-Man is completely absent in all the other merchandise lines for the film thus far.

The bridge is black...? That's really strange. I've never seen a black bridge before. I was hoping it was the tan color.

Where did it say the bridge was black??

[JaseTJ]

I'm preeeetty sure Sony has never had any merchandising rights for Spidey, just the films. Either way, it makes perfect sense to have not seen any Spidey yet in Civil War stuff. It's a marketing strategy to bring extra hype to the movie.

[Ultron]

The bridge is mostly black with red accents and a bunch of webs on it.

Where did it say the bridge was black??

Right here.

[NXS7]

Right here.

Thanks, missed that message. Such a big hype today, until you nobody really picked up on that

[Borex]

Oh man, all these new sets got me hyped up. I do hope the builds are great and don't end up like the poor build of the sandman set. I say that also because of the colour scheme (black-red) what seems a bit a odd for a bridge.

Anyway i am very curious what the figs will look like because at the moment i want them all.

Ghostrider set - does he have a short or a tall trans chain? Does he have leg printing? Is it just regular spidey in this set and does he have dualmolded legs and maybe extra printing on his arms/legs (like in that lego folder)? Please describe hobgoblin?

Please describe vulture and scorpion, spidergirl for us too

And how about the build... They said a jet thing for Hobgoblin. Do you mean his glider? I'd assume its a glider.

Psh, I saw it :P Then again, I'm the one who asked...

[Bricky Dee Williams]

Yuck, even dark grey would be fine. I was also hoping for tan. Is there a black bridge in NYC? No, no there isn't.

[NXS7]

DC Brickset link is up, REALLY on the edge of my seat for Marvels

[Borex]

I just read there's going to be a wheelchair in a cityset (fun in the park or something like that) so we finally can make us a Professor Xavier (i mean he is just a bald guy in a suit) to temper our hunger for more x-men sets a bit.
