GoldenNinja3000 Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 (edited) I liked all the What If...? figures in Series 1 but I don't think we needed 5 of them and LEGO made some weird choices. I get that they wanted Gamora to go with the Sakaarian Hulkbuster, but we didn't really need her, Zombie Cap, or Spidey. Spidey is an amazing figure but Doctor Strange Supreme and Infinity Ultron would have been much better picks based on the show itself. So if we get a bunch more figures for Season 2 I hope they're more relevant to the actual series. Edited January 3, 2023 by GoldenNinja3000
Buckethead Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 The first series only had four shows to cover, and with What If...? being an anthology, I can understand the disproportionate amount of Minifigures. But with 8+ projects left to cover by the time series two arrives, and considering we already have a set and Minifigure based on an episode from season two (Sakaarian Hulkbuster & Gamora), I wouldn't expect much if any to be included in series two. It also may not be significant, but Marvel reportedly has two separate departments for live action and animation, so I'm curious if any animated characters will appear in tandem with live action characters.
BrickBob Studpants Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 (edited) While I liked the What if…? minifigs in S1, it always seemed very unfair to me that they dedicated 5 minifigs to a show that already had two sets based on it. I would’ve sacrificed any of them in a heartbeat for more characters from the other shows Hopefully they won’t repeat it for this series Edited January 3, 2023 by BrickBob Studpants
mrcngrck Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 I bought the quinjet and I really don't know what to think about it. It's good don't get me wrong but is this that good? There is a lots of cutting corners and budget cuts. overall it's good but I expected more

Buckethead Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 (edited) I don't know anything about extra torsos, but what about a Nick Fury figure with an accessory Skrull head? Not only could you replace Nick Fury's head to make him a Skrull, but just about everyone else in the series could be a secret Skrull. Edited January 3, 2023 by Buckethead

This is the opposite of what they did with Arkham uniform Joker in the Lego Batman CMF. I think its a genious idea.

I picked up a few extra Talos to fill out some troops and it would be a bummer if they switched to sand green or something

Unlike Drax where while I personally always thought he was gray, it seemed to be sort of a "dress is blue and black vs white and gold" thing for many people (and he's green in the comics).

Sets like last year’s Benatar and even 2019’s Ultimate Quinjet really did raise the bar for swooshable Marvel vehicles. @Scarilian I completely agree that it makes complete sense to reuse the Ant-Man helmet for NWH Green Goblin in lieu of a new mould, especially as the helmet is in the film for less than a minute. Assuming that mould colour is used for a NWH set and wasn’t just introduced for City Stuntz, it does raise the possibility of getting a Bridge Battle set. Also, really appreciate your updated set lists with every post!

We're kidding ourselves if we think a Marvel CMF isn't going to include a bunch of What If figs, especially given the ones in the last set were super popular. What a dream it would be to have a 16-fig set of MCU D+ characters though! That would be very interesting!

Assuming we also get a final battle set, a bridge battle set would be ideal too as that way, we would get both Green Goblin variants and Doc Ock wouldn’t need to take up a slot in the final battle set.

No, Drax is very clearly grey.
AstroFalcon Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 Hopefully we get a grey Drax in the new Guardians 3 sets. Probably without his fancy tattoo prints

The irony with him saying "Drax isn't a christmas tree" is of course that Drax has always been green prior to the MCU. I'm in camp "grey" though and pretty disappointed lego is changing his color, especially since MCU lego fans have been begging for a new fig for years.

Legocentrico Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 4 ore fa, AstroFalcon ha detto: Questo è quello che intendevo per probabilmente senza. Tuttavia, finché avremo tutti non mi dispiace davvero. I agree. but I would have preferred something in between, sleeveless as in the special

I was wondering why lego decided to make him green in the advent calendar because he’s always looked grey to me. And lego apparently thought so to with his previous figures.
BusterNut31 Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 Will the ant-man set be revealed on monday with the trailer?

Honest question, have any sets ever actually been revealed alongside a trailer? I can't think of any time it's actually happened, but I always see people expecting them to happen together
BusterNut31 Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 Ive seen them do a merch dump on the same day as a poster reveal or trailer. Lego, funko, hasbro, cups and t shirts etc… but maybe im remembering it wrong

I could see it happening if it's part of a whole merchandising campaign reveal but not on its own. I can especially see it happening if MODOK is in the trailer as the set is rumored to include him. Edited January 5, 2023 by ToaDraco
BusterNut31 Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 Yeah i assumed they are waiting for the trailer to reveal modok and then merch can be released.
