Fenghuang0296 Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 Huh, all four sets are out and they look great! The smallest two are both two or three Eternals fighting monsters called ‘Deviants’, the second-largest is some kind of big red mech, and the largest has a freaky triangular spaceship, another Deviant and a humanoid Deviant who seems to be the leader. Also wow that is a lot of minifigures and it looks like there’s at least one exclusive in every set, as well as a few duplicates. I know nothing about the lore for this, does anyone have an idea and can enlighten me?
BrickBob Studpants Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 (edited) These look impressive! I wonder how those pictures got out though, shouldn‘t the sets have been postponed to next October a couple of months ago? These catalogues don‘t get printed that early, or do they? And looks like the mystery of the new Venom „tentacle“ mould has been solved, I knew they were designed for something else! Edited December 29, 2020 by Lego-Freak
Fenghuang0296 Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 Okay, here’s the minifigure breakdown as far as I can see. Keep in mind I have no idea who any of these people are. Rise of the Domo (big spaceship): Ikaris, Makkari, Sersi, Druig, Thena and Phastos In Arishem’s Shadow (Celestial Mech thing): Ikaris, Sersi, Ajak and Kingo Deviant Ambush: Gilgamesh, Thena and a name I can’t make out but given it’s written as non-exclusive I think it’s Makkari. Eternals’ Aerial Assault (smallest, with the bird thing): Ikaris and Sprite I’m assuming based on his prominence that Ikaris is the main character. Definitely interested in Gilgamesh though. I love Sumerian history.
DuckBricks Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 Loving the look of these sets - the triangular spaceship is a little blocky, but I'd have to wait and see the source material before judging it too much on that.
Battlinpanther Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 Wow. Four sets for an untested property like this is impressive. Can't wait to see the Shang-Chi stuff.
Fenghuang0296 Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 Also, is it just me or does Thena use a recoloured version of that Forbidden Spinjitzu bladed staff piece that they made for Aspheera and the Ice Emperor?

hvader Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 (edited) I like these. I like these a lot. LOVE how insane the Deviants look Edited December 29, 2020 by HarryVader

admiral_typhoon Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 They took a considerable risk doing 4 sets out of a relatively obscure marvel property but IMO it paid off - they look amazing! Now to see if they do sell well... I can't be the only one who immediately thought of a pizza slice for the spaceship set, right?
NXS7 Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 That humanoid Deviant in the Dorito ship is definitely Kro, I checked those leaked images of his figure and he has 4 eyes and a red marking on his head, plus tendril like hands

These sets would've been released already though, but the film got pushed back. Spidey was supposed to release after Shang Chi anyway, so he'll be next

ToaDraco Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 Wow these look pretty cool! My favorite is definitely In Arishem's Shadow. I really like that massive Celestial build and it has a decent minifig selection. I also really like the Deviant Ambush, really digging the Deviant build and Gilgamesh looks excellent, loving the new fist pieces he might be my favorite figure of the wave. I'm really disappointed by the lack of a Black Knight figure but maybe it'll be in a set we haven't seen yet. The Domo set looks neat but there's no way I'm paying that much for it. I gotta say the Deviants are way more colorful and monstrous than I expected. It's crazy to me that freakin' Externals is getting so many sets but at least they look good.

You really need to take the original release schedule into consideration with these things
TOTDForever Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 I kinda like how we have only 4 sets, as it makes collecting all of them easier/cheaper. Plus it looks like the builds to each set are very diverse Just now, Guyon2002 said: I don't think it'll be that soon but I do think they'll be released sooner than what's considered to be normal for MCU sets Eternals was supposed to come out long before Shang Chi.

In Arishems Shadow is probably the most badass set name ever! I too am disappointed for lack of Black Knight, not even a Dane Whitman, but maybe they don't want to advertise him too much. At least not in suit

Well this just ruined my day, I was so excited for these sets that I completely forgot to check if the figure I wanted most was included
hvader Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 That Arishem set is the Marvel set I’ve wanted for such a long time. It’s perfect
SuperGrover Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 These are so good. I didn’t expect them to be this good.

Or heck, maybe he doesn't even suit up as Black Knight in the movie and they just set it up for his next appearance. Regardless I have no doubt we'll eventually get a figure of him because he has to join the Avengers in phase 4.
hvader Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 Is that knee joint I see on Arishem??? This set is incredible
