Also, I just realised that her secondary colour appears to be bright light orange, not yellow - Quite frustrating, and it makes me worry about Cyclops! That’s definitely (and unfortunately) bright light orange. And I would count on Lego using the same color for Cyclops given that they seem to have a rule against making yellow hip pieces (and this forum is showing that their concerns were justified.)

They could have gotten around that by dual-moulding her legs in green and yellow, then printing the yellow details on the top half. If Rogue uses bright light orange, does that mean that the Wolverine Minifig will be the one from the mech (rather than the CMF)? 🤔

On the bright side, I can be a little more clear about this comment: On 10/25/2023 at 9:39 PM, Mandalorianknight said: I don't think I could handle the internet's reaction to a lego miss minutes after the latest episode. I'm a transformers fan and still shuddering over what happened to Core Class Shockwave. Whoever was intrigued by this, what people are saying the rogue looks like is what actually happened to core class shockwave. Somehow spread virally through a TON of transformers social media sites. Hence why I wouldn't want to see a lego miss minutes given the internet's reaction to Shockwave of all characters, after what Miss Minutes did in ep 3. Also, and somehow even MORE off topic, that may be the scariest marvel villain in the show. Her face when Spoiler she tortured all Brad's coworkers and made him watch... , truly horrifying. 27 minutes ago, psqidexslizer said: That’s definitely (and unfortunately) bright light orange.

At first I couldn't think of any figs with yellow hips, but... no, there are a good number. Recent ones, too. Yellow Spacemen, the Ocelot minecraft skin, etc. I mean, if we're going off the "it's because they don't want it to look like the figs are nude" logic- which does make sense- would that make all the yellow spacemen just nude guys with their organization's logo tattooed on their chests?

Huh. I always assumed it was because they didn’t want anyone making nude figures, or they wanted to not make it so easy. Guess that’s not it. But that still doesn’t explain why they keep using bright light orange in the superhero theme for characters where yellow would be more appropriate: Wolverine in the mech, Cyclops in the 2014 Blackbird, Reverse Flash, Rogue, etc. 3 hours ago, Classic_Spaceman said: They could have gotten around that by dual-moulding her legs in green and yellow, then printing the yellow details on the top half.

Apparently though, yellow hips isn’t an issue in the first place so it’s a moot point. Edited November 2, 2023 by psqidexslizer

Doesn't even have a face.). Maybe the superheroes designers just think bright light orange looks cooler. Edited November 2, 2023 by Mandalorianknight

New pic of Rogue’s alternate face shows her suit as yellow rather than bright light orange. I am confused and just waiting until better pics come out!
CF Mitch Posted November 2, 2023 Posted November 2, 2023 (edited) Whoah! Love the fact that Rogue is included in the X-Jet. However, having seen the leaked image, like most of you I'm not entirely sure I like the figure. I can live with the hair not being entirely accurate, but the fact that the yellow and green of her legs don't seem to line up with the yellow and green of her torso is just too much... Here's hoping it'll look better in real life. Regards, Mitch Edited November 2, 2023 by CF Mitch
THELEGOBATMAN Posted November 2, 2023 Posted November 2, 2023 (edited) Why do people think that colours don't line up around her waist? Sure, the watermark partially covers that part, but even with it you can clearly see that it lines up perfectly. Edited November 2, 2023 by THELEGOBATMAN

My first thought was the shade of green on legs and torso don't look anything like each other. But then I saw the source and it's her jacket so it makes sense.
Clone OPatra Posted November 2, 2023 Author Posted November 2, 2023 I haven't seen the reverse face yet, but the main face is a big part of what isn't doing it for me about this figure. It's just so bland and generic of an expression, when Rogue really has a lot of snark and personality. The solution for the legs is pretty weak too though.

Legocentrico Posted November 2, 2023 Posted November 2, 2023 I thought this was the only print option for this type of hairpiece, but instead - as someone already said - there was the Narcissa Malfoy option! I didn't remember this, but I just saw a custom using it and it looks MUCH better :-O In the usual place there are some images of the Tower displayed in a lego store! Unfortunately the photos are not very good and it doesn't add much to what we have already seen…

Unfortunately the photos are not very good and it doesn't add much to what we have already seen… That wouldn’t work either. Rogues has white hair at the top of her head, not white streaks in her bangs. The big issue though is the piece they used. The hairpiece for Agatha Harkness would have been so much better.
Legocentrico Posted November 2, 2023 Posted November 2, 2023 3 minuti fa, psqidexslizer ha detto: Anche questo non funzionerebbe. Rogues ha i capelli bianchi in cima alla testa, non striature bianche nella frangia. True, it wouldn't work for version 97, but if you look on google there are some versions of Rogue that have white tufts (including the Fox version), and since this is not only incorrect but also ugly to look at, at least the Narcissa version is enjoyable………
Agent Kallus Posted November 2, 2023 Posted November 2, 2023 I know it's November sometime but do we a more specific timeframe for the Avengers Tower release?
BusterNut31 Posted November 2, 2023 Posted November 2, 2023 Unibricks posted a short on youtube of the avengers tower on display in a lego store in France! so soon i hope!
living_off_lego Posted November 2, 2023 Posted November 2, 2023 the 360 of avengers tower makes it look alot better than the grainy photos we had a while back, glad to see that the left side of the building is just as inticate as the front/right sid!

squiz18 Posted November 2, 2023 Posted November 2, 2023 Reveal date of Avengers Tower looks like it's coming on the 8th of November! During a special livestream, black friday preview. https://www.lego.com/en-us/live/black-friday-product-reveal?CMP=AFC-AffiliateUK-US9P%2F9RI%2FvA-2860710-1433038-10
wesker Posted November 2, 2023 Posted November 2, 2023 The tower looks massive in that video compared to the box images. Can't wait to see how it looks displayed alongside the Daily Bugle. Hopefully the Bugle's sign overhanging the building won't be an issue. The Leviathan also looks to be a pretty substantial build. Just less than a week for an official reveal now. 10 hours ago, psqidexslizer said: Where did you see the alternate face? I can’t find it in the usual place. Check the Rogue post on the Legoleak subreddit. The second pic is at the top of the comment section. The colors look much better in the second image. The costume is using the correct shade of yellow while the hairpiece appears to be brown after all.
