Marvel Superheroes 2024 - Rumors & Discussion

[JohnTPT17]

If it wasn't for the leak, this would have been the first real look at Gambit - so, why haven't they officially announced the Mansion yet?!

As cool as some of those designs are, I'm also not going to get my hopes up. We got awesome looking Hydra goons and hipster Collector from Code: Red last year, and they never made it into official sets. Plus, as has been pointed out, Gambit's different, too.

Pryde of the X-Men Dazzler at 1:02 - I wonder if she was being considered for the Mansion at some point (and maybe replaced with Iceman or Bishop?), since she is a weird choice for a cameo and her design looks official.

Officially showing off a better design for Gambit than the one we will be receiving in a $330 set is really cool, thanks LEGO

Missed chance to have Deadpool be the one to say ''talking to the audience is my thing''

Good to see my boi daredevil and moonknight in the trailer, WHERE'S MY BOI PUNISHER

Preach! I completely agree with you. Lego just knows that we’ll be buying so they cut back on the build (making it less complex and thus looking more simple/little kidstyle) and wants to make bad minifigs so we will yearn for better minifigs that they can release in the next twenty years. 
I say just go to the dark side. There are great substitute x-men from other brands. 
 

as for what kind of set could the x-men get beyond the blackbird or a sentinel? Maybe a mojo-set? Mojo could be buildable, we’ll get the Dazzler from that video trailer and hopefully also Longshot

I do like that they are making a video about D-Man. A weird choice, but a funny choice. If he is going to be made we have almost a first suit daredevil

[JeanGreyForever]

Gambit looks great in the trailer. What a pity the real minifigure doesn't look like that with dual molded legs. At least the hair piece is an easy swap.

Dazzler was a nice surprise but I doubt we'll ever see an official minifigure of her. 

It is pretty sad that out of the 8/10 minifigures we've had a clear look at (not including Iceman and Bishop since they're both still pretty blurry), pretty much all of them are lacking and the cheapest versions of themselves. Only Jean looks more or less like she couldn't be improved. Otherwise no dual molding for Wolverine, Rogue, Gambit, Cyclops, and Magneto, and a rather lazily done Professor X. I guess Storm has the new cape so that's a plus in her favor but that's it.

No, you saw the dumpster, from about when you entered the theatre to a little before you left it.

The movie itself is the dumpster.

And while we’re on that subject, I still can’t get over how bafflingly bad Cyclops legs are. They could have easily printed blue on yellow and given us pretty near perfect legs for him. Instead, they made his legs solid blue with yellow printing. Including on the hips. Such a bizarre and terrible decision that could have so easily been avoided if they didn’t have bizarre and inconsistent rules about yellow legs.

Lol, I should have understood that from the start. 

I didn't think it could get worse than the plain blue legs from the X-Jet set but this printing looks so shoddily done that they really shouldn't have even bothered. Will be needing Morph in the next CMF now more than ever so we can get a proper set of legs to replace these ones for Cyclops.

Imagine if they did Morph with legs that are perfect for Cyclops, except they’re dark blue. 😭

The Fantastic Four set just became my most anticipated set of next year after seeing that Ben big fig. Never in a million years did I think that Lego would make a comic F4 set before the MCU versions/a comic Marvel set in general unless your name is Spider-Man, especially when the movie has been given so much importance.

I just hope Ben's appearance in this isn't Lego getting my hopes up. Gambit's design is pretty much the same as the one from the Mansion besides dual molded legs and the BTS hairpiece instead of Han Solo's so Ben should be the same because it's perfect, like the LMSH 1 game design but slightly updated. Now I can't wait to see the rest of the Four.

As far as X-Men, I think there’s a lot of potential for future sets. Just based off the first season of ‘97, we could get:

- buildable Sentinel

- Sinister’s Lab

- Motendo battle

- Shiar spaceship

I'd also throw in Mastermold and Asteroid M to that list.

They're really teasing us with that comic Vision. Hopefully next year sets do well so we can start getting more comic variants of the Avengers instead of just the MCU versions all the time.

I'm hoping the rumors are true about the F4 being comic based. If we get the Baxter Building as the next modular it would open up so many more possibilities for what characters could be included. It might be the only shot we have at ever getting a Kang minifigure.

Lol I can see that happening. Especially since it can be argued that Cyclops' minifig should have been dark blue.

Agreed. This is exactly how I feel about this set.

 

D-man being the main character gives me a LITTLE hope he'll show up physically at some point- we'll see.

This does bode well for getting comic versions of the FF. I've always been a proponent for getting Ben as a big fig instead of a regular minifig. But I know often that what we see in the Lego movies and shorts doesn't always end up manifesting into a physical minifigure so it's not a 100% confirmation either. Still, here's hoping.

It's a good sign. Would love to see Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, and Hawkeye in their classic comic outfits as well. A much needed upgraded classic Thor although I doubt we'd get dual molded legs for him.

Do you think Kang would show up in the Baxter Building? That's definitely another incentive for a comic version of the BB instead of an MCU version.

We’ve been getting more and more comic Avengers sets as of late, so there is some hope. I definitely think we’ll see comic based Cap, Thor, and Loki sometime in the next year.

For a $60 set that already includes three other new minifigs, what are the chances they will make a new bigfig as well? I want them to, but Lego has been lazy/ cheap.

The $55 Brave New World set is supposed to come with a Red Hulk bigfig in addition to three new minifigures, so I could see it happening. Theoretically, too, they could reuse torso and leg printing for Reed and Sue if they have the same suit and no powers applied (invisibility or stretchiness). Same with Johnny, but I think I might prefer him fired-up.

Endless possibilities if it's comic based. Besides the obligatory updated Doom (who probably should get an update as it's been 11 years and counting since his last set appearance) we could get other villains like Mole Man, Annihilus, Impossible Man, Puppet Master, comic Namor, the Skrulls/Super-Skrull, etc. On the allies side like how the Bugle got Daredevil, Punisher, Blade, Firestar, and Black Cat we could get the Silver Surfer to go with the Galactus set, a new comic She-Hulk, Bombastic Bag-Man, as well as civilian characters like Franklin, Valeria, Willie Lumpkin, Alicia Masters, and a brick built H.E.R.B.I.E. The potential for this set if they stick with it being comic based instead of MCU based is just too good to pass up.

Ever since I first saw the prototype Hulk big fig from the SDCC 2011 pics I knew that Ben was going to get the same treatment whenever the day would come where Lego would make an FF set. I know that Ben in the comics is usually slightly smaller than the Hulk, but Lego doesn't really have a middle ground between a minifig and a big fig, so a big fig is really the only option here. I'm usually skeptical about these movie exclusive characters showing up in sets too (looking at you Omega Red and classic Thor), but I've been a lot more hopeful after the leakers mentioned the Galactus set having a very high chance of being comic based. And personally, after seeing Ben in the trailer, that assumption just gained a lot more credibility so my fingers will be double crossed here.

Here are my thoughts on the 3 Marvel sets:

Marvel Logo: An easy pass

Airport Battle: Its a meh set, easy pass

X-Mansion: First the good, the Mansion is a good build, the Sentinel is a good build and it has a good number X-Men. Now for the bad, Gambit, Wolverine, Magneto, Rogue and Cyclops all need dual molded legs, Professor X is just lazy, Lego should have given him a new head, Ceribro shouldn't look like an electric chair. I can't really say anything about Iceman or Bishop because there's no clear images of them.

P.S. It's funny Lego went all out for the Battle Bus, but couldn't do the same for the Mansion.

Why do Lego designs minifigs in those D+ specials so well and when it comes to the sets they are so bad looking? New Cap Marvel has amazing prints and headband(for some reason), The Thing is finally a big fig! Not to mention how they give Captain America leg prints/dual molding yet Lego is too cheap to include it in a physical sets. The Superheroes theme has been cutting corners for years and it doesn’t seem like lego wants to change and make better minifigs…

The issue is that the BNW set also only has like 200 pieces - the bigfig is adding a LOT to that $55 price. I can't remember exact numbers, but the F4 set has a way more 'normal' price/piece, so I doubt it has a bigfig too.

That’s not Captain Marvel. It’s Dazzler.

If that’s Dazzler then the design is very strange compared to her more traditional outfit. Kinda looks more like Captain Marvel to me due to her logos.

It’s the design for the character featured in xmen TAS and in the ‘97 prelude comic. Which definitely makes it seem like she could appear in a future set

I fell down a bit of a rabbit hole the other day looking at a particular brand of customs who make a few Axl-esque mid-size Marvel characters, and if Lego did anything like this particular seller, I think that would be the best option for the Thing (and most bigger characters tbh, big figs are way too big and static imo). 

However, if it's between a big fig and a regular fig, big fig is definitely the way to go - even if Ben is only meant to be six foot in the comics, he needs that bulk.

I'm still holding out hope that one day we'll get a dual moulded Thor helmet/hair. Can't see them doing that with MCU Thor so fingers crossed for some comic Avengers.

a $60 set with three new minifigs and a bigfig isn't all that unheard of (we're getting one for CA4 that's cheaper) but I do think Thing will be a normal minifig just because he doesn't seem to be hulk-sized on set and lego tries to shy away from bigfigs whenever possible.
