Oh man. It must be something real good. You have a smile on your face! Hahaha.

Tell us more if you can, Yay!

Shocker confirmed! Is he at least a good minifigure? 

How come the DC minifgiures are so much better than the marvel's one.?

There are no leg print at all on Vulture figure, while wonderwoman get a dual molded leg and side leg print.

That's one example from each brand, Silver Centurion was amazing, MCU Spidey is great

No dual molded legs for Wonder Woman

Vulture is a great minifigure, maybe his pants should be olive green, and jacket should be brown not black, but you can change legs. He is really good and I like him so much.

Actually Vulture is lackluster minifigure. No leg print, reused Iron Man helmet, and no claws on legs. So a lot to be dissapointed about. And not to mention some minifigures from Thor Ragnarok sets: Loki , Grandmaster,  Hela all have no leg print. And a lot of other Marvel minifigures for some reason lack some detail too. It's especially noticeable when you look at Lego Batman Movie minifigures- all highly detailed. Hope Marvel characters will get more detailed in 2018 sets.

Each main hero figure (Spidey, Thor) has very good printing. Not sure what the problem is.

Let's not forget the Green Goblin fig from last year. That's one of the best figures probably ever put to Lego form in my opinion, let alone the superhero theme. She-Hulk from this year is also pretty nice, although I'd agree a little more consistency would be nice.

If arm and leg printing then can probably forgive the lack of print on Vulture

Not really... most the GOTG 2 heroes are terribly represented with lack of arm and leg print.

The heroes are also not the reason that many buy the sets. Often as is the case with Spider-man Homecoming, you will get the hero in multiple different sets meaning you have a bunch of them. For example in this line-up of Homecoming sets we get two of the same Spider-man figures and we already had a very similar design (other than the Spider accuracy) for Civil War - so nobody is really too impressed in seeing a very similar figure.

Plus heroes return, meaning chances are high we'll get a new version of a majority of the heroes for Infinity War. Villains however often get killed off and never represented in Lego form - as its rare for the villains to pass over from movie to movie.

Not a shocker that it's Shocker. Well, if he has amazing printing on him, i'll understand the need to hide him. Well, there are pictures out there of his potential final look, hope it's based off of that.

Star Lord had leg printing

Gamora had leg printing

Drax had arm and leg printing

Yondu had leg printing

Ayesha had leg printing

Taserface had printing

 

That's 6/10 minifigs with arm/leg print. And one of the ones that doesn't have leg printing, had the smaller legs.

 

It's just more expensive to do printed legs, they might have to up the set price for an exclusive leg print that could only be used once

Starlord in jacket doesn't have leg printing(couldn't they reuse his legs from new Milano set?)

Starlord only has mask in 1 set, when he had it in 2 2014 sets,

Gamora has the same jet pack torso as Starlord(no indication she's female),

Mantis has no leg printing.

Drax had arm printing in 2014 sets why wouldn't he have it in 2017?

When you compare it to the batman movie sets, you will see the difference. 

let's take the Catwoman Catcycle Chase from batman movie as an example.

this is a small set with 3 minifigures for $19.99, including

- arm and leg print for Catwoman

- dual molded arm and leg , and leg print for Robin

- dual molded leg, arm and leg print( side print on leg as well) for Batgirl

If TLG can make all these great set with minifigures for $19.99, i hope they can apply the same standard to the marvel set.

I love that Mantis hair piece, but the leg is just disappointing.

Well, you're right. But you have to see it this way, they were trying to heavily market the batman movie sets this year. They made the sets more appealing with having very detailed minifigures. They wanted to contribute a lot of money to the batman movie sets, and it makes sense. That was the whole point and they did just that. Marvel seems to get the low end of the stick, it's a shame really.

I agree with AmazingBricks, LEGO needs to market its own product (sets based on a LEGO movie).

Also aside from Catwoman, whose torso/leg prints were exclusive here, Batgirl and Robin were used in multiple sets, whereas say Yondu, Yondu's legs can only last as long as he has that costume, which will likely just be this film, so it only appears in one set. 

Using lots of detailing for a character that will appear in multiple sets, like Batgirl, is different than a one off figure, say Mantis

I think we all need to remember that TLG went far beyond its usual standards when creating minifigures for The Lego Batman Movie.  I doubt that amount of detail will become the new standard (and, honestly, its unrealistic to expect it to).

Drax has arm printing in the new Milano set, so I don't know what you're talking about. And Gamora doesn't need indication that she's female- she and Star-Lord wear the exact same piece of armor in the trailer; she doesn't have one specially designed for her.

I think's he's saying that there's no reason for it not to be included on drax's arms.  Well yeah that make sense. 

Actually guys, TLBM is a far different product from GoTG V2 Remember most of this figs are based on concept arts. I know that TLBM has concept arts too, but it's their own product/movie it has "LEGO" word on the title that make sense they will "prioritize" it.

I meant exactly what SpiderJazz said above about Drax's arm printing. And if you look closely in the trailer Gamora wears dark red undershirt with that jet pack. And why wouldn't  Lego give Gamora some feminine curves like they usually do for female minifigures or even better make Gamora's standart black outfit which she wears fro most of the trailers?

Edited April 3, 20177 yr by benderisgreat

I think I may know the answer to this one. James Gunn was VERY strict this time around with spoilers and what was and was not allowed to be shown in trailers and merchandise because he wanted most everything after the thirty minute mark to be a complete surprise. This is why we don't have Ego in any of the sets.

 

Seeing as the Abilisk fight happens very early in I think it was TLGs best chance to make a set they could market with a large number of the Guardians, and Gamora happened to be wearing that gender neutral armour, and TLG didn't want to print hips on there to cut costs. 

I think Ayesha is the exception to the rule as Marvel may have given toy designers her more simple outfit she wears later in the movie as opposed to her "Paragon" outfit in the beginning.

Well, Ayesha's royal clothes look really great tbh. It would have been hard to pull off in Lego , considering her skin is gold as well, but that outfit is way cooler than blue jumpsuit, that is worn by Sovereign "soldiers" in new tv spot.

You are right. I agree with your point about the Catwoman set. From a company perspective, it make all senses.

But as a customer, i am not impressed by the recent sets. Not just the minifigures, but also the build. 

 

 

Non  lego movie   DC sets is what's suffering, not the marvel sets.

Excited to see the final Thor sets revealed as they are shaping up to be awesome!
