Those guys are normal set material and I'd rather have new characters than new costumes. No, with Cmf level quality any Iron man suit would look amazing. Cap and Widow versions would have been amazing inclusion since Lego doesn’t seem to want to make those versions of them. Plus they all are Mcu A-listers so they would have sold great. But instead we have Echo( I’ve never heard somebody say she is their favorite character) and boring Werewolf.
Legocentrico Posted July 17, 2023 Posted July 17, 2023 15 minuti fa, l'agente Kallus ha detto: Non proprio una faccia, ma la visiera del casco di Golia è blu. Quindi questo potrebbe essere parte della confusione. (Regular head and second blue head) New helmet mould there is talk of two heads and a helmet. I see no possibility of confusion and in any case BC has confirmed that he has seen preliminary images, probably the same ones of Promobricks etc, I think that with a minimum of marvel knowledge it is impossible to confuse the two characters……. also to me it seems very unlikely that all those who have published a list have made the same mistake randomly on the same character ……

Love that dude. Hasn‘t he recently confirmed that he‘s reprising his role for the second season of What if…? Also, I don‘t get why people want characters like Iron Man or Cap to be featured in a 12 figure series. I‘ll take characters like Echo or Agatha that are very unlikely to appear in sets over overabundant A-listers any day
Kaijumeister Posted July 17, 2023 Posted July 17, 2023 This looks like a decent-enough CMF series to be fair, but I can’t say the lineup ‘wows’ me that much. Moon Knight and Mr. Knight are probably my most anticipated as I loved the show -I appreciate the crescent blades and hood are new moulds and they look great - the latter would be perfect for some custom Assassin’s Creed minifigures too. Hawkeye seems to have the Ronin outfit in which case he’ll be a definite buy, and I hope Wolverine has something new to him that warrants a CMF spot. Overall, it’s good enough. Another so-so year for Lego Marvel I’d say.

Personally, I totally get why people would have preferred rare versions of popular movie characters, or rare movie characters like Captain Marvel (so we won't have to buy a 420 pieces EUR 90 set for her). Obviously that's not the route they're going, but that doesn't make movie fans wrong for wishing they would.
BrickBob Studpants Posted July 17, 2023 Posted July 17, 2023 While I vastly prefer movies over shows and agree that a lot of the MCU shows are pretty mediocre (and would‘ve been much better served as movies with a lot of the unnecessary fat trimmed), I still wouldn‘t want a CMF series filled with A-listers who constantly appear in sets anyway. And the increased budget is not a good argument to me, given how detailed a lot of the Iron Man minifigs already are To me, that‘s like saying that Minnie, Donald, Daisy, and Goofy should have replaced four characters from Disney S3. Or saying that a third Potter series would need Dumbledore, Luna, and Neville again

Just a variant of him who's played by the same actor. He looks (the costume) and acts nothing like Kang. 12 hours ago, bricksandabear said: Even casual MCU followers know Kang is the new "Thanos." No idea where you're getting this from. No they don't. He was in a single movie that people not only didn't like, but barely have seen it, since it's one of the lowest grossing MCU movies. He was introduced in an Ant-Man movie. He died in an Ant-Man movie. No one knows what's going on, and especially the general audience.

I feel like the role social media has to play in this is way understated - like 75% of the people who usually beg for ‘comic accuracy’ don’t read comics at all, they just see a couple panels online. In that vein, a lot of people know who Kang is despite not necessarily seeing him in a movie. Plus, Majors’ situation is being relatively heavily discussed online. And that’s not to mention Kang’s presence in some animated shows, and that kind of thing. He was in Earth’s Mightiest Heroes - even the second LEGO Marvel game. If by ‘general audience’ you mean like very young children and their parents, I guess you’re right, but I think anyone 13+ with any investment in Marvel probably knows a bit about him.

I would also like to see a dual moulded Iron Man (the difference in gold on the mk 85 (?) has always bothered me a little) however I feel like this of all years we could get the best of both worlds with the CMF providing new characters and the Avengers Tower giving us new versions of the core cast. I can't remember what's been confirmed but it's not outside the realm of possibility that Endgame Iron Man shows up in the tower thanks to the time travel scenes. I don't expect it to happen (not do I expect top quality figs after the Sanctum) but it could.

All we know is that there are two Iron Man armours - but given there are a lot of characters who’ve never even been in the tower, I don’t think we can count out the possibility of *any* suit showing up.
Surge Posted July 17, 2023 Posted July 17, 2023 not to be harsh but i think anyone who thinks hawkeye is ronin in this is a little delusional. he doesnt have the hood (and rumors dont say he does) he comes with the owl from the finale, and it would be strange to have final suit kate with a hawkeye suit thats never in the same scene as her, although i suppose one could argue moon and mr knight dont make sense together either. if im wrong im wrong i just dont see it making much sense

Or saying that a third Potter series would need Dumbledore, Luna, and Neville again I'm not much into Disney, but as for HP: The difference here is that all HP fans have either seen the movies, or read the books, or both. So if you pick a bunch of more obscure characters like, to give just one example, Griphook, everyone will still know who they are. Marvel, meanwhile, has chosen to paywall most of its recent content behind a streaming service membership. So there are plenty of Marvel fans like myself who enjoyed the MCU right up to Endgame (plus GotG 3) but haven't followed all the Disney+ series and all the more recent movies that are so heavily tied into the Disney+ series content as to barely make sense without it. Therefore, focussing this heavily on Disney+ series characters is doing a disservice to fans of the older movie-based content; that's all I'm saying. Edited July 17, 2023 by brickbride
Legocentrico Posted July 17, 2023 Posted July 17, 2023 20 minuti fa, brickbride ha detto: Non mi piace molto la Disney, ma per quanto mi piace a HP: La differenza qui è che tutti i fan di HP hanno visto i film, o letto i libri, o entrambi. Quindi, se scegli un mucchio di personaggi più oscuri come, per fare solo un esempio, Griphook, tutti sapranno ancora chi sono. Marvel, nel frattempo, ha scelto di pagare la maggior parte dei suoi contenuti recenti dietro un abbonamento al servizio di streaming. Quindi ci sono molti fan Marvel come me che hanno apprezzato l'MCU fino a Endgame (più GotG 3) ma non hanno seguito tutte le serie Disney+ e tutti i film più recenti che sono così fortemente legati al contenuto della serie Disney+ da avere a malapena senso senza di esso. Pertanto, concentrarsi pesantemente sui personaggi della serie Disney+ sta facendo un disservizio ai fan dei vecchi contenuti basati su film; questo è tutto quello che sto dicendo. Yeah but dude the mcu goes on even if you don't like it :-D I personally hated Moon Knight but his minifigure is probably my favorite so it means lego is still doing a good job

Cant even make out their faces. lets just wait fir the hi res images
Agent Kallus Posted July 17, 2023 Posted July 17, 2023 Gonna give my personal ranking so far. Really want: Storm, Beast, Moon Knight and She-Hulk. Quite want: Kate Bishop, Mister Knight, Wolverine. Want a little: Clint ( mostly for the new owlet), Agatha Want the least but would still like: Goliath,Wolf by night, Echo.

Granted, one character was, but that‘s beside the point. Say what you will about the choices, but the execution looks great! Dual-moulding, arm-printing, new hairpieces, new animal sidekicks, and so on. And why is Agatha one of the characters being singled out? I remember people being very unhappy about her exclusion in Series 1, and now people are annoyed with her inclusion

CmF series 1 had a ton of big parts that made it amazing value, I.e. Falcon's wings, Spidey's rope piece, Wanda's headpiece, etc. The image does seem to present less molds than the first series, but there are also plenty of accessories we haven't seen yet.

They could have made highly detailed Iron Man suit with dual molded legs and printed arms, stealth suit Cap or Black Widow from Endgame. Instead we get Echo(why are Lego so bad with their choices?!)… It's reasonable for a company like Lego to market characters simultaneously with their partner group. Iron Man and Captain America are neat, but they're not really around any more, whereas we are getting shows for Echo, X-Men, etc. in the following months. 4 hours ago, Borex said: I hope it’s Laurence Fishburne in there.

Buckethead Posted July 17, 2023 Posted July 17, 2023 Just realized Promobricks initial list of included Mini-figures described Kang as the "blue version." It was literally Goliath the whole time.

jjr_2009 Posted July 17, 2023 Posted July 17, 2023 I'm very much a casual MCU fan, so I'll refrain from voicing my opinion on which characters should have or should not have been included. However, I loved both Agatha Harkness and Moon Knight in their respective Disney+ shows, so I am looking forward to picking up both of those figures!
