There's a picture of Wanda CMF circling around. Torso and legs are precious but the head (reuse) and hairpiece tiara combo is something. Mixed feeling about it.

Please let it be fake I hate it so much

I just realise the HotToys looks excatly like the minifig, the cape, the exact same hair so I think they may have gotten the same ref

Except the Hot Toys version also has the Skirt thing...

Also keep in mind cmf leaks are very rare so I wouldn’t go in hoping they all leak 

I mean, the Entire DC series leaked in the months leading up to the release, maybe one or two didn't.. 

Especially since they come out of the regular factories now, cmfs should be as fair game to leak as any other

Beautiful fig

If the leaflet leaks, we will see the full series. But when does that ever happen lmao

Shoulders down: great figure. But that head/hair... Not for me. 

I was only really interested in Captain Falcon, Scarlet Witch and President Loki. But since one of those isn't happening and another is what it is, I guess Sam is now the only figure I actually want.

And like I said it's barely noticable with the cape, and it'll be even less noticable on a Lego minifig

[admiral_typhoon]

After seeing the leak, I am convinced that we will never get a complete SW minifig - it's either the missing cloth, wrong hair colour, and/or now the printed tiara instead of dual-moulded. This is as good as it'll get, her MOM version will probably be a sidegrade or downgrade since they likely won't have CMF-level of budget. The rest is actually very good.

I get the argument that since the real one is pretty thin then a moulded one might've looked off, but the edge of the tiara shape in the hair is just weird looking.

here's hoping Sylvie's one is actually moulded.

Pretty sure most of the DC series leaked before reveal, but I'm calm enough to wait. If something leaks it leaks, when it all gets revealed then awesome

 

I really like this Scarlet Witch. The hair piece isn't too specific to MCU Scarlet Witch, which means it could be used for Enchantress

Tbf Enchantress is pretty much just a colour swap of Scarlet Witch lmao

Well DC was leaked because lego tried to produce cmf and regular sets in the same part of the factory. They changed that to prevent it leaking again 

[Brick Cucumber]

Wow that Wanda hair looks terrible. Like, they have a CMF Budget, why wouldn't they make it dual moulded. Given the explanation we've gotten on element storage restrictions, surely it would actually be more efficient to have it be a single dual moulded piece rather than having it be printed.

[BrickBob Studpants]

While a dual-moulded hairpiece would’ve been preferable, this solution isn’t bad IMO  At least the hair colour is accurate 

[Brick Cucumber]

Honestly very disappointed in this piece. I was really excited because they would be able to use it for Comic Versions of both Scarlet Witch and Enchantress. But seeing this one with the tiny print makes me really disappointed. Even with pieces which aren't dual moulded, Lego can do much better printing than this.

[Scarilian]

Hair/Helmet piece is kinda lame, understandable, but it's not worth getting a CMF figure for and I was hoping that it'd be the main appeal if her outfit was underwhelming. Her design otherwise is excellent, especially the Mindstone shaped segment they detailed... except concept art strikes again and the red they used as such is too light.

I'd hope the Doctor Strange 2 sets fix this and give us this design but with the darker segments and the darker red where needed, but chances are it'll be fairly similar to this figure here.

This is a pass from me, we'll hopefully get a more accurate version down the line either in Doctor Strange 2 sets or whenever she appears after that as her outfit will likely stay similar for a while.

I think it's the lighting of the pic, her torso and arms are dark red, like previous minifigs
You can also see some regular red lines on her torso/legs
Anyway, nothing to do with concept art, just poor lighting (or strong lighting if you will)

The wanda headpiece is not ideal but it’s not a bad figure imo. I like it

[BusterNut31]

This makes me think of those small role characters in the solo star wars wave. 
 

such fine detail and printing. Dual molded helmets for characters no one remembers. They even came in a set.

This lack of effort…sigh. its frustrating. This cmf bugdet is smaller than other cmf series im telling u now!

[oodan]

Hahahaha holy megablocks the hairpiece looks SO BAD

If they printed some detailing lines in the tiara I say it would have been perfect fig for an official quality figure. Custom tends to capture the likeness of the character but your paying 100 bucks above this is what just 5 bucks so it's a win.

Also based on the pic it looks like she is n psychic based villian using her massive brain to control people!!!

[Agent Kallus]

Well that is something... Imagine if Lady Loki uses the same part but with different printing .

She'd honestly look better with just a normal hairpiece. Maybe it will look better in hand but.... Yeah

[GoldenNinja3000]

Why can't LEGO just give us a Scarlet Witch minifigure that's not lackluster in some way? The missing skirt, face print, and wrong hair color drag the Endgame figure down and this hairpiece almost ruins the CMF version for me. The rest of the figure is absolutely gorgeous and I'm so impressed with the level of detailing (especially with the inclusion of the dual molded arms), but once again we're missing a skirt. I don't think it's super necessary since she'll have the cape but it's still disappointing. The hairpiece is next-level terrible, though. LEGO has made such intricate, complicated molds for one-off Star Wars characters, and all of a sudden it's impossible to dual mold a crown into wavy hair? This printed version looks bad since you can see a clear outline of hair color around it and it doesn't even attempt to approximate the more delicate shaping and detail of the headpiece in the show. I wasn't expecting something super fine and detailed, but I was expecting a headpiece that stuck out of the hair instead of looking like it's growing out of her forehead, and it should have been more detailed since it's just a print. The face print is also still odd to me but at least the eyebrows and hair color match now.

I don't believe that this is the result of CMF budget limitations, either. With a character as underdetailed as Monica and a repeat of Captain Carter, Wanda and Sam Cap should've gotten a disproportionate amount of detail to make up for those figures. I'm hoping the headpiece will look better from other angles and I still have high hopes for some other figures, but this is just another major disappointment from the CMF series after waiting for so long. I hate being so negative but I just don’t understand any of these choices that LEGO made with this series.

I like Wanda's design. I don't mind there not being a hip skirt, I feel like the cloth skirts are usually pretty bad, so I'm glad the minifigure looks good without it.

I don't mind the hairpiece situation. Dual molding would have been nice, but I don't know if it would have been possible at this scale, when I think of the other dual molded hair pieces I think they're a bit bigger, so her crown may have been too small to dual mold. Too, this is how they've been approaching the Wonder Woman tiara for the last decade, so at this point I'm used to this approach.

Hopefully they include a hood for her too.

[oodan]

Thorin Oakenshield had a better hair-crown combo in 2014, Wonder Woman in 2012. Scarlet Witch's hairpiece is unacceptably bad.

The budget is not smaller, it's just the designer who made that.

[lego_guyon02]

So one mold, on an otherwise excellent figure, doesn't turn out exactly the way people wanted to and suddenly we're able to deduce that the budget for this CMF is smaller? Alright then
