I wish the series had nightcrawler (never done before and would be a good use of CMF budget) instead of wolverine who is available already in the mech set.  

As Mandalorianknight says it's more likely a vial or some simple piece, requiring no molds or prints. Also because that minifigure will probably get a new head piece (I hope it doesn't use wolverine hair)

• Kang: we haven't seen Loki 2, so I can't imagine
• Echo: we haven't seen Echo, so I can't imagine (probably a weapon)
• Agatha: Darkhold if it's Wandavision character, if it's based on own series the Darkhold will be gone, so I can't imagine that (probably something magical)

I think these three will be based on previous shows (or movie, in Kang’s case) rather than upcoming ones. It would be a lot safer to pick already existing costumes as a lot of design aspects can still change in post-production  Also, Coven of Chaos, Loki S2, and Echo didn’t have a release date back when the minifigs were designed, so this would have increased the risk even further. Using the Wandavision, Quantumania (or Loki S1), and Hawkeye designs is just way more convenient

Penso che questi tre saranno basati su spettacoli precedenti (o film, nel caso di Kang) piuttosto che su quelli imminenti. Sarebbe molto più sicuro scegliere costumi già esistenti poiché molti aspetti del design possono ancora cambiare in post-produzione Inoltre, Coven of Chaos, Loki S2 ed Echo non avevano una data di uscita quando sono stati progettati i minifig, quindi questo avrebbe aumentato ulteriormente il rischio. Usare i disegni Wandavision, Quantumania (o Loki S1) e Hawkeye è molto più conveniente

Loki and Echo were originally set for summer 2023, so it makes perfect sense that Lego had the material and wanted to cover the two series. Agatha was scheduled for winter 2023 but who knows, with all the changes that have taken place with these products…

Anything can happen, but IN MY OPINION it is difficult for them to go back to the shows of two years ago, and ALWAYS IN MY OPINION it makes no sense to include Kang cinema in a cmf disney plus series

Echo’s design is her final outfit from her show. A very much comic inspired figure

Fair enough. I just think it’s risky to produce tie-in products for shows that didn’t even have a release date at the time, but TLG has done stranger things before. Like Stranger Things. *ba-dum-dish*

And granted, movie Kang would indeed be the odd one out in this series, I just feel it would be the safer choice

Interesting. So this means someone has already seen them, and my point is moot  I don’t mind Agatha, Kang, and Echo being based on upcoming shows, but Agatha not having the Darkhold would be a huge missed opportunity

Abbastanza giusto. Penso solo che sia rischioso produrre prodotti tie-in per spettacoli che non avevano nemmeno una data di uscita all'epoca, ma TLG ha già fatto cose più strane. Come Stranger Things. *ba-dum-dish*

E certo, il film Kang sarebbe davvero quello strano in questa serie, sento solo che sarebbe la scelta più sicura 

Interessante. Quindi questo significa che qualcuno li ha già visti, e il mio punto è discutibile Non mi dispiace che Agatha, Kang ed Echo siano basati sui prossimi spettacoli, ma Agatha non avere il Darkhold sarebbe un'enorme opportunità mancata

With all the changes in the Marvel releases in the last few years, I think the merchandise producers have a lot of problems :-D I too would like Kang from Antman, because I still can't accept that crap set we received…

I can't know if Falcon has seen something, but I remember that Promobricks provided some details when they revealed the lineup, such as the final version of Echo and the blue face of Kang. Maybe they've seen something, maybe they just have descriptions.. However, even Promo can be wrong

I think I won't mind Wolverine, with the CMF budget it'll be his best figure yet. I would've traded Beast for Nightcrawler, he doesn't really require the big budget unless he has his lab coat

Well she'd be a very dull addition otherwise. Like Monica in S1, but she at least had a SWORD uniform, Echo really had nothing notable in Hawkeye

Wonder if they'll use that city piece with the prosthetic leg

The new bigfig system is a massive improvement. Just being able to turn the head alone is huge. It also allows for some very cursed figs since it shares that neck pin with the standard figure. I know I'm late to the party here, but I can't wait to get more of these. I do think the Hulk hesitency might be due to him needing 2 new molds for sure if they are to keep this system as it appears with the updated thanos bigfig in the a-force set. (The hair, of course, but his hairpiece would look pretty weird with the way the torso's set up now if you wanted to retain the head-turning feature. They'd need to make the fig hunch less or add a bit of space between the head and back so you could turn the head)

In a similar boat to you as I also just recently got that version of Thanos, and yeah agreed on pretty much all points. I really hope you're right about Hulk because not having all the big figs in that weird hunch/squat pose would make me like them way more, and this is coming from someone who already enjoys them.

Or a new mold all together

Kang is def based on Loki S2 rather than Quantumania. I wonder how different he'll look this time around

[Legocentrico]

Kang è sicuramente basato su Loki S2 piuttosto che su Quantumania. Mi chiedo quanto sarà diverso questa volta

In the last episode of Loki 1 we see the statue of the Kang which, probably, has taken control of the TVA. It's very similar to the comics version, I guess it could be our minifigure…

In the meantime, the first blurry images of the Calendars have come out

[Mandalorianknight]

Calendar leak! 
I was so excited for a split second because the image is so potato quality it almost looked like that was PS4 spidey coming out of the portal... just a christmas sweater, though. He appears to have arm-printing? Okoye looks to be wearing a sweater, I had thought the rumor was Black Widow wearing it.

Can't tell which Cap and Iron Man are present, but if there are more figs and that's the 85 with the new helmet and Scale suit or AoU cap, I might have to pick it up.

More details:

Spidey appears to be attacking a small deer. JJJ was right all along.

The fig I thought was okoye in a christmas sweater almost looks like it's wearing armor, rather than a sweater, and appears to have leg printing. I'm no longer sure it's okoye.

There's a train with a dark blue (looks to be unprinted) microfig on it. All I can think of is that it's a very dark Cap 1 reference.

The Invisible Man has made an inter-franchise appearance and is playing hockey on the lower right.

I confirm they are Spiderman and Widow in the sweater, and have no arm print (the minifigures leaked in February). We also have a list of contained minifigs but now I can't find it. They are all recycled characters of course, surely that is Okoye. Lego must put Okoye everywhere by now…

Are you 100% sure? It really looks like there's arm printing on the spidey. If not, are his arms red or dark blue? Because to me it looks like DB with red printing. You're right about okoye though, it's just weird lighting making it look like arm printing. It's the BP2 okoye holding the tesseract.

[Legocentrico]

50 minuti fa, Mandalorianknight disse:

Sei sicuro al 100%? Sembra davvero che ci sia la stampa del braccio sullo spidey. In caso contrario, le sue braccia sono rosse o blu scuro? Perché a me sembra DB con la stampa rossa. Hai ragione su okoye però, è solo un'illuminazione strana che lo fa sembrare una stampa a bracci. È il BP2 okoye che tiene il tesseract.

I'm 100% sure that the leaked minifigure doesn't have arms printed :-D Someone re-uploaded the image in the usual place, so you can see it easily :-) yes, okoye or nakia, one of the two, definitely recycled anyway U.U

This is an awesome reference! Makes me want a first avenger set even more 😭. 
 

Do we know for sure what Cap is in the set? And has an advent calendar ever had an exclusive (non-holiday) figure? Cause it would be so awesome if tfa cap was included, though highly unlikely.

Ashnflash says it's endgame cap, which would still be nice. Star wars used to frequently have exclusive figs that weren't holiday-based, but now they are all holiday-based, and I don't believe marvel did so in the past few years.

Yup, there's a clearer image now and you're right, it's dark red arms.

[upliftingbricks]

Is the Iron Man the endgame one too or one that comes in 4+ hulkbuster?

[Legocentrico]

In these two years the Marvel calendar has been filled with very common minifigures, even for Star Lord 2022 Lego has downgraded the legs to make it less desirable than the one in the Benatar. This is to say that I have great doubts that it is Endgame Cap :-/

in my opinion it is more likely yet another AOU Cap :-p

[LemonFlavouredBleach]

It seriously boggles my mind Lego made zero spider-verse sets when those would sell like hot cakes. Simply putting 2099, Spider-Punk, etc in a set would be guaranteed money but nope. Another groot set for you

Maybe we’ll see something in 2 years?

That’s interesting, so I guess it’s possible for them to throw in a non-holiday exclusive someday. 
 

Just saw an image that was zoomed in a lot more, the cap looks like it’s the one from the quinjet (blue belt). I might actually pick this one up, since I didn’t get the quinjet and it’d be nice to get the mark 85 with the new helmet.

[squiz18]

Now we've seen the advent calendar, it looks like there are only have 6 sets we haven't seen for this year:

Marvels 

CMF

Avengers Tower

Wolverine mask 

Spiderman art set

Whatever 76246 is (might not be marvel).

 

When do the 2024 rumours start?

Wanna bet it'll end up being the Kang variant from the Quantumania post/mid-credit scene, teasing Loki s2?

Please don't suggest a grey statue Kang like the Rivendell statues
