Interesting! On the whole, I like it! The other costume was designed to be "retro, but not too retro" or something like that, and this update is clearly sleeker and more modern without changing the overall style. The new suit is similar enough that I don't need a new figure, but just different enough that a new figure won't feel completely redundant.

Edit: If we get a new helmet mold, I will totally get it- the current one works great for a classic look, but a new one could be even better for the MCU. However, I'd heard Lego molds were absurdly expensive- wouldn't it be weird to replace a mold after only one use, only 1 year later, just for aesthetic reasons?

Wow, i love that new costume. Lego is very smart though, they don't want to make a new minifigure helmet. They are giving us a micro fig (no new mold required) and a buildable figure that will definitely use a new mold. Maybe that will be easier for them. Making a new minifigure helmet would be terrible for them, that's why they are deciding to give us the micro fig and buildable fig. Does he happen to have other pictures of the characters?

Yep, definitely don't see them making a new helmet. For one, it isn't incredibly different from the Ant-Man movie one. Secondly, if they specially mold a helmet for a recurring character, they're gonna get more mileage out of it than just one cheap set. Third, as you mention, we know of him showing up in two new forms already, and I don't even remember confirmation of him showing up as a regular minifig in any of these CA:CW sets.

Thanks for sharing. He's honestly not as a different as I was expecting. They're definitely not making a new mold if we ever see him.

The suit is definitely more modern and sleeker with sharper lines.

The difference is decently evident in real life, but in lego form, I think its relatively similar.

Not missing much by not getting the figure in the biggest set, but I still want Giant Man and most of all: the micro fig!

First off, I found it on Twitter. I don't have a source or anything. Second off, it's only this. The rest of the characters are well represented in photos of the two sides. Ant-Man was just on Hawkeye's shoulder. I'm thinking the head will have some sort of respirator/mask and then an open mouth on the other side, the helmet isn't too different. The rest of the suit looks so much nicer.

Now we wait for Spider-Man. :thumbup:

Not thinking that they'll make a new helmet for that, even thinking that we will not getting him ( only in a microfig ). The last chance for seeing him appear is in the fourth set I think so ( in a normal fig with helmet ). Edited by Winter Soldier

The new Ant-Man suit looks fantastic.

I still don't think we are getting an Ant-Man figure, but if we do, that's a great solution to the open face issue! And I can't wait for Spider-Man either. I assume that any merchandise we get of him (at least for this film) will be of the rumored makeshift costume, rather than the more traditional look he'll inevitably receive.

I agree that it's unlikely we will get Antman minifigure since we're getting him in micro figure and buildable figure forms. So we re stuck with 2015 Antman at least till Infinity War hits theaters. But I am happy we're getting him in micro figure form though.

Those links aren't working for me..what are they?

Not showing up here.

Same here. None of the links are working. Perhaps you could kindly save them and put them into an album on Imgur?

You must delete the "http://1.1.1.1/bmi/" section in front of the actual link (no idea what that is and why is that included, but it's clearly not a web adress). Then you will have a nice closer look at new costumes.

To be completely honest, if I had a choice between another Ant-Man variant (normal sized fig) vs. a proper Ant-Man micro fig? I'd take the micro-fig -- it's the one MARVEL character that this is absolutely perfect for.

I was very close to making my own MOC micro fig Ant-Man and now I don't have to, so I'm very happy about that.

The new Ant-Man suit looks fantastic.

I think too that the new Ant-Man suit looks fantastic. He also seems to have armor things on his arms and a metal thing on his back attached. Those new things look great and I think Ant-Man will become Giant-Man by the attaching of those new things.
