Fenghuang0296 Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 This line’s been pretty uninteresting for me so far. Cyborg’s neat, and I might get the original appearance Batman for the Batsuit gallery I’m considering, but I’m not interested in the rest.

I think we will get a classic Superman villain, but Lex Luthor is a bit too ordinary for a CMF. I could see them going with a classic Brainiac and the bottle city of Kandor as the accessory.

SoupOrFishOil Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 (edited) Bumblebee is an odd choice. I kind of thought it might be her after I made my comment about Terra but she still seemed too obscure. But Bumblebee has been appearing in a wide amount of media between TTG, DCSHG, YJ, and had a cameo in the Judas Contract movie. I guess that a woman called "Vixen" might not be terribly marketable, either, so maybe Bumblebee seemed like a safer option for a woman of color? I don't think that classic Cheetah means classic versions of Joker and Lex. Silver Age Sinestro is paired with a New 52 Green Lantern, and I kind of suspect that this is Debbie Domaine with the Tiger Woman's hairpiece rather than Priscilla Rich, which would be a Bronze Age Cheetah paired with Golden Age Wonder Woman, but I realize that once you go back to the 80s everything just kind of blurs together as "old" for a lot of people. I'd really love Lex in his pink jumpsuit (with a cake!) and Joker could benefit from CMF level detail, but at this point I'm crossing my fingers for newer characters or at least ones that could actually use a redesign. My scorecard for figures by era is in the spoiler tag, if that's something anyone is interested in Spoiler Golden Age: Batman, Wonder Woman "Classic" Silver and Bronze Ages (DC Pre-Crisis): Sinestro, Metamorpho, Cyborg Early Modern Age (Post-Crisis): Stargirl, Bumblebee (TT show falls in this era, TTG is based on that aesthetic) Contemporary (New 52/Rebirth): Green Lantern, Huntress Then we haven't seen Cheetah yet, who could fall into either of the first two categories, and we presume Golden Age Superman is coming. That's 10/16 figures, and I'm surprised how little we have heard about villains so far. 8 hours ago, THELEGOBATMAN said: I wasn't very specific - they are disappointing choices. I think there are so many DC characters that deserve to be minifgures, and yet Lego chooses classic Cheetah design nobody has ever asked for. I distinctly remember people asking for her when the Tiger Woman first came out years ago. :P That may have been because there wasn't a Cheetah figure at all back then though. Still, she is disappointing. I wonder if this means Cheetah won't come in the Wonder Woman set I thought we were getting? That might mean a different villain there.

playgood Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 Here's my best guesses so far. I'm running with the assumption that these will be mostly classic variants of the characters. I'm also assuming that we will see a lot of pairings. The only thing I'm hesitant about is the lack of Aquaman and Birds of Prey related characters.Guesses- Wonder Woman - Cheetah- Batman - Catwoman - Superman - Brainiac - Nightwing- Cyborg - Green Lantern (Alan Scott) - The Flash (Jay Garrick)- Sinestro - Green Lantern (Simon Baz) - Bumble Bee- Star Girl - Metamorpho - HuntressWildcards - Black Canary? - Harley Quinn? - Aquaman? - Aquaman Villain?

RedHoodPug Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 I really like the Cheetah fig, it’s a decent representation. Bumblebee has plain legs, which may seem annoying but it’s entirely accurate.

tafkatb Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Both look pretty good - might be tempted to get Cheetah just for the money bag!
CoolDudeRadman Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 I swear if they give us one more Joker or Harley Quinn. They better not. Give us Mr. Myxzptlk to go with Superman, classic nightwing to go with batman. Honestly I think we have good odds for getting Zatanna and maybe Vixen if they try to even out the genders in the series. I’m really hoping for Doctor Fate, Booster Gold, Red Tornado, Constantine, Heatwave (or Mirror Master). I’d be down to get Jay Garrick or Alan Scott but to be honest I’d really rather get Wally either Young Justice version or rebirth red and grey suit.
RadioYeh Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 I’m gonna be honest, these are the first figures to truly disappoint me. I’ve been extremely positive on everything so far, but these are both incredibly boring and uninteresting to me.
NXS7 Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Bumblebee has perfect Shuri hair, also yellow lightning pieces perfect for Flash or Shazam. Cheetah is very cool in a certain way... I don't know much about the Cheetah characters, but this version looks more iconic to me than the other version. The head piece could be used in interesting ways in the future I guess Also a look at the mysterious 1989 Batman, it uses the head from the 2012 sets, the torso, belt aside, is generic, has the place where his symbol would be blank. The cape looks really rubbery, but it really seems to be longer than the figure itself, so it really should be a light material similar to the newer type of capes, or maybe a silk like material connected to the material that the mask/chest piece is made of
SoupOrFishOil Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) Ah, so it's Priscilla Rich after all! I guess all it would take to make her Debbie would be to swap the cowl out for the Tiger Woman's hair though. :P I do wish that her arms would work with the modern version we have... Bumblebee is pretty cute. Of course it would be nice if she had boots or leg printing, but I think she's the first character who doesn't so far. That's pretty impressive. 2 hours ago, RedHoodPug said: I know. I was referring to the character's costume style, which we knew to be influenced by TT/TTG. Otherwise Huntress would be there with Cyborg. Edited October 4, 2019 by SoupOrFishOil
thatblockoguy Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Loving that golden age Wonder Woman and Cheetah combo. No idea how bumblebee made the cut over just about any other DC character out there! I’m actually enjoying the slow reveals. It’s like an advent calendar.
Robert8 Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Hmm why does Cheetah have flesh head? It looks like a costume. Other than that, pretty cool figure. Nice new hairpiece for Bumblebee. Are those new wings? (So it was true. The leaker has the entire series) 19 minutes ago, Quicksilver838 said: Bumblebee has perfect Shuri hair, also yellow lightning pieces perfect for Flash or Shazam.

It seems the cowl, shoulders and cape are all molded together in a single piece
thatblockoguy Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Be nice if the leaker gave daily clues as to the next reveal.

RyanMe Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 When are these releasing? I thought it was not until 2020, but all these leaks make me think it is a lot sooner.
BitByBrick Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Cheetah looks great! Love all the classic designs in this wave. Original Batman, WW and now Cheetah. A classic Superman would be nice to complete the big 3 in DC. Can’t wait to see the rest of the figs. Hope they are released during December, or sooner.
Fenghuang0296 Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 I’m not a fan of Cheetah, but that might just be that I prefer her newer design. Bumblebee looks gorgeous, though! I think I’ve found the first fig from this series that I definitely want to get.
BaneShake Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 That '89 Batman gets more fascinating the more I see it. Bumblebee certainly looks quite fun; I'm glad she's finally getting minifig-ed since she was beaten to the punch years back by a minidoll. Really like the printed wings. Cheetah's certainly well-printed, although since it's not my favorite version of the character, it's definitely the one I'm least excited for. That money bag is great, though. I would definitely like to see more of the alt faces that Cheetah, Wonder Woman, and Bumblebee at least seem to imply. I doubt they're always just angry.
Minifigleaf Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 That Golden Age Cheetah is a dream come true for me. I was sure we'd never get that version. Just perfect.
playgood Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) I'm surprised they didn't give Bumblebee mid-size legs. She's a Teen Titan and a bit on the short side in the cartoon. Edited October 4, 2019 by playgood
Borex Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) Ooh i really like that Cheetah. That money bag is gorgeous too. Not interested in Bumble Bee, although i am happy to see that new hairpiece. And those wings seem also nice, so maybe for parts. for non-dc fans this series is very bland. So little new parts that help selling them. I miss an animal for instance. Edited October 4, 2019 by Borex
