Marvel Superheroes 2024 - Rumors & Discussion

[ToaDraco]

I'll be honest, a Spider-verse cmf is super disappointing to me. I'd much rather have another series based on the various shows like we had been getting until now because otherwise they get absolutely nothing. There's maybe 2 Spider-verse figures I'd actually want and they'd just be super detailed updates to existing figures: Spider-Man 2099 and Spider-Man Noir. Well, maybe Prowler if they include villains in the line-up.

Ideally, they'd use this as an excuse to give us a variety of crazy Spider-Man variants not tied specifically to the movies. I'd love a Spirit Spider or the main PS4 Spider-Man suit.

Thunderbolts without the team from the comics, Iron Heart, WonderMan and What IF S3 that has some of the worst stories ever (WTF IS THAT MECH EPISODE) Captain America 4,Daredevil and Fantastic 4 are the only projects in 2025 for marvel I'm interested in

Personally I'm detatched from almost all the projects moving forward, I'm after a few legacy characters to be adapted into Lego set form but I really dislike how they are handling characters and stories. I do not have faith in the creative teams behind these projects to deliver and in fact it terrifies me what they may do with certain characters. 2025 is kinda a 'skip' year for me in regards to MCU content where I'll probably get the Fantastic Four set if it has Galactus but I'm really hoping that set is comic-inspired because I'd rather have the comic Fantastic Four than the MCU versions.

If we're going Sony's Universe figures then:

1. Eddie Brock (With spare half-Venomised head)
2. She-Venom (With Venom Symbiote Vial)
3. Venom (With spare closed-mouth Venom head)
4. Riot (Grey Symbiote - with Vial)
5. Morbius (Spare head for Vampire version)
6. Milo (Spare head for Vampire version)
7. Mrs. Chen (Two-sided face, other side is Venomised)
8. Carnage (With spikes - with Vial)
9. Shriek (Two-sided face)
10. Lasher (Green Symbiote with Vial)
11. Agony (Purple Symbiote - with Vial)
12. Kraven The Hunter (With Spear)

The 'vial' idea is that you'd be able to display all the symbiotes in the vials similar to how they appeared in the movie and would act as a 'collect them all' aspect. Though admittedly this idea would mean a very symbiote-focused CMF series.

[Scarilian]

If you are telling me they are popular in comics, I won't disagree as I've not had enough experience in the comics beyond a few run cancellations, yet its not translating to the movie portrayals. I think Lego is recognising this. Why make many MCU sets moving forward when they can't guarantee that the sales will be there? Popular characters in comics are no longer translating to the film adaptations.

Worse still the MCU adaptations are being subject to a lot more issues moving forward. Why make a CMF based on concept art of potentially delayed future Disney+ shows when they can instead capitalise on an already existing film franchise that has a guaranteed audience such as the Spider-verse films?

They are seemingly choosing to make sets based on the portrayals of the characters that are actually popular hence the rumours of the Fantastic Four set being based on the comics and the potential for them to skip Thunderbolts entirely Which makes sense as rather than Lego taking the time to develop and release sets using concept art for upcoming films, they can wait, seeing how the audience reacts and then eventually doing accurate legacy sets further down the line if the audience has shown they will support them. I'm sure we'll still get a wave of sets releasing for Avengers 5, Spider-man 4 and Avengers 6 but I think the model of how Lego releases MCU tie-in sets is changing. I think Legacy and comic-inspired sets are going to become the main focus unless the overall performance of the MCU demonstrates a turnaround.

To be fair the spider-verse films haven't gotten anything until January.

I'm disappointed we won't get God of Stories Loki, but aside from that I don't really care, and also-

let's be honest guys. A CMF full of spider-men variants is going to do a lot better, especially with children and more casual fans, than most of the disney+ show characters. That's not even a statement on quality (though the majority of them aren't exactly daredevil)- you could give a kid a choice between a cool Spider-Man variant or God of Stories Loki and 9/10 of them will choose spider man.

[Lego Nostalgia]

Since Iron Man will be in the Portal Diorama, do we think he'll be battle damaged or just a re use ?

[Clone OPatra]

Re-open for business.

We've gotten a bit loose with the rules in recent years so that people can just freely discuss what they like without us MODs yelling "stick to LEGO" every five minutes. If things veer off track too much though, we might have to revisit tightening the rules again.

The LEGO Batman Movie had two CMF series dedicated to it, so a total of 40 minifigs  Sure, you can say it’s not fair to compare a LEGO movie to other films, but it‘s still a single piece of media.

True, but this is really the exception that proves the rule IMO; Harry Potter is the next closest comparison, but that is eight movies and the two CMF that we got had repeats between them (and a few ‘figs in each series were just Gluppus Shittius No. 7!). 
 

[BrickBob Studpants]

As with every series, full judgement should be saved for when we actually see pictures  I‘m just surprised by the rather negative reception here. I don‘t remember anyone complaining this much about either of the TLBM series. Maybe I‘m misremembering things and people were reacting equally negatively back then, or something changed in the last couple of years

The thing with TLBM series is we didn't have 2 DC-themed cmfs prior and then it suddenly changed, also TLBM covers sooooo much DC stuff from across comics history. Spider-verse is extremely limited by comparison.

[DaleCooperFBI]

Some of you fellas (and fella-ettes) are absolutely cray, a Spider-Verse CMF is one of the most exciting things they could've done with another Marvel CMF. Are we really mourning the loss of Nick Fury, Talos in a grey jacket or Wiccan? And I enjoyed Agatha All Along, but I'm not exactly chomping at the bit for any of those characters in Lego form just yet. A Spider-Verse series will be super colourful, detailed and surely full of new moulds. I wouldn't be surprised if Lego eventually does a Loki set with his S2 finale look given that it was such a success.

Non ricordo che nessuno si sia lamentato così tanto di nessuna delle due serie TLBM

Batman Movie cmf offered the chance to complete the list of those wonderful villains, it was awesome! Lego avoids the bad guys now, so there is not much choice

Stiamo davvero piangendo la perdita di Nick Fury, Talos in una giacca grigia o Wiccan?

Not all the protagonists are aesthetically boring, on the contrary, but the most important thing is that thanks to the cmf we have characters that would not find space in the sets. I have always loved the idea of having a lego for each MCU product

I agree, LEGO Marvel is treated quite differently than LEGO DC nowadays.  For Marvel, it's almost exclusively heroes and "antiheroes" eg Loki, Magneto, Bucky, and Agatha.  For DC, it's almost exclusively Batman and his rogues.

Spider-Verse is getting a dedicated set for its latest film, and most of its characters have already been produced in LEGO form to near exact versions as those in the films, eg Gwen, Spider-Ham, 2099, Noir.  This rumoured CMF would have to have some ambitious choices to make me feel like this is a fresh product worth purchasing, and not minfigures that I've owned for years.

As always, I reserve the right to change my mind

My main issues with the Spider-Verse concept itself are:

- We'll undoubtedly get figures of the main cast, who are already well-represented in sets: Miles, Gwen, Peter - maybe Noir, Ham, etc. Potentially, like half the CMF is gonna be repeats, which to me is disappointing despite them being higher detail.

- There's not much in the way of variety that can really be done besides Prowler, maybe Tombstone? Doc Ock, Scorpion, Kingpin all would need some crazy pieces or a relatively substantial build to work, and so it's likely the lineup will be basically just Spider-People

And honestly, I think there's a lot more in the way of exciting characters possible with another D+ CMF than your comment about like, Nick Fury, implies. X-Men '97, Eyes of Wakanda, Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man, Ironheart, Agatha, Zombies, Daredevil, What If, all would've had a shot at representation in the CMF, with some really great characters within those shows.

[thephantasm]

The only figs i would have wanted from their current disney plus slate would be daredevil characters and psylocke. Yet, i doubt they would have been made

 

If they can give gwen an accurate hairpiece, the series might be peak from that alone. (But not as peak as a dc cmf 2)

I wasn’t exactly excited for a third Disney+ series, but at least those had variety. Who are we going to get in a Spider-Verse CMF? Gwen, Miles, and Peter? Those three have been done to death. Noir and Spider-Ham. We’ve had plenty of those too. Spider-Man 2099? Honestly, glad to have him again for those who missed out last time, but he’s also not a character who needs the CMF treatment. Green Goblin and Kingpin are too large. Peni Parker makes zero sense without her mech. Doc Ock needs too many pieces for the arms. Same goes for Scorpion and his legs. Maybe Prowler, and Tombstone will happen. And then probably some Spider-Men like Spider-Man India and Spider-Punk. 

So, when all is said and done, we’re probably looking at three Spider-people that have been done to death, three that have been in sets already, maybe two new villains, and maybe four new Spider-Man variants. IMO, that’s a boring lineup and doesn’t offer anything for anyone who isn’t a big fan of niche Spider-Man variants or these films. I’m sure it will sell well, because it’s Spider-Man, but I probably won’t be picking any up.

When it was confirmed Wolverine would be in the S2 CMF there was plenty of backlash, but I was on board because I knew it would be the best Wolvie figure we've had so far (and probably ever will), which it was. I feel the same about Gwen in this circumstance, we'll get the best version of her, likely with arm printing to highlight the pink/blue web design, plus leg printing to feature her blue dance shoes, maybe if we're lucky a new detailed hood with the pink/blue web design on the interior, which at least to me is comforting despite the amount of Gwen's we already have.

I hope Noir is excluded since the last figure (which yes is no longer available anymore, so I understand why he'd be desirable on the current market) did him perfectly, but if we were to be included, I hope he could include a smaller scale Spider Ham (like Loki with Throg), which would clear up another slot. Also a rubix cube, it would be nice to get one in Lego form

Also if D&D can include multiple heads to change the characters gender, any relevant Spider-person NEED to include an extra head & hair for unmasking

 

 

On a separate note, not sure who suggested accessories could include the comic covers for each variant that appears in the film, I would love to see that happen for the series, but imagine if we ever had another comics based CMF (another meaning either DC or Marvel) where each figure had a comic book tile of either their first appearance or an iconic cover, just like Bat Mite with Detective Comics #27, or Avengers Tower and the X-Mansion with Avengers #1 and X-Men #1. This theme is so saturated with the films, it shouldn't forget where it came from

Unrelated to Marvel but does anyone know if keeping sealed sets near a radiator that's not that hot, will it affect the pieces in the sealed box ?

The radiator is not hot, it's a tiny tiny bit warm when you touch it but that's it, barely hot at all

I'm worried my sealed sets might get damaged from the small heat, maybe I'm paranoid

Excessive heat could warp the boxes and fade the ink over time. I’m not sure how much heat we’re talking here, either on your end or how much heat it would take to ruin a Lego box. If you’re really that concerned, you could always put a layer of tinfoil between the boxes and the radiator to reflect the heat away.

I don't care about the boxes, I'm talking about the bricks inside

I wouldn’t worry about it. If you’re able to touch the radiator, I doubt it’s giving off enough heat to have any effect.

Gwen, Miles, and Peter? 

I can understand not wanting Miles and Gwen as they are done to death in the sets but sadly are needed for Spiderverse CMF. One theory (most likely wont happen) I heard was that the Miles could be the version from end of ATSV (don't want spoil it even though been out a while). I'd take that and is kind of crossing off 2 characters in one.

As for Gwen, what @NXS7 said about it being the ultimate printed version. Nothing Im too fussed about though.

As for Peter, we've never got a fat spiderman so it would be something different at least but the accessory could be a Spider May Parker baby which would be an awesome edition.

Noir only came in 1 set around same time as 2099 so falls into category of glad for people who missed out. Spider-Ham was/is in 2 sets and is still available (though in an expensive set). I agree that I hope these aren't included but wouldnt be surprised. At least with 2099 we could get Lyla not sure about a good accessory for other two that Id be pleased with their inclusion.

Green Goblin and Kingpin are too large.

Kingpin could easily have a new hagrid/axl type piece. Might not be big enough for some people but minifig size scale isnt always set so still allows the possibility of him being included. Cant see same for Green Goblin and likely is too big unless they just make him minifig scale which could still happen.

100% agree with this though I'd like the character still but definitely should be in a set with the mech.

Both need a few pieces (wouldnt say loads) but the pieces needed are cheap and small and there is plenty of space in the box for them. So wouldnt write them off either.

 

Im in boat of Spiderverse CMF is better than a D+ series 3. Apart from X-Men 97 theres barely a handful of characters Id want. I'd take X-Men 97 series tho which I hoped for. We have about 7/8 months of discussin what could be in spiderverse CMF and it'll prob end up being a fake rumour 

[thephantasm]

Itsv gwen might admittedly be too similar, hoping atsv gwen is in the cmf despite being in the set

X-Men series would have been my first pick too. Then a comic series. After that, any series that would give me more X-Men.

[Swordy]

I’ll weigh in with my opinion on the potential reuses in this Spider-Verse CMF:

For Miles, while I do want THAT version of Miles, I’d also really love the version from the “What’s Up Danger?” scene or from the final battle with Kingpin. That suit is my absolute favourite Spider-Man outfit period—Bombastic Bag-man notwithstanding—and deserves CMF treatment in my oh so humble opinion. (Plus, if LEGO and Nike are friendly now, Miles could get the swoosh after all.)

For Gwen, I’m gonna go on a limb and suggest her non-Spidey, “Hobbie’s jacket” outfit. It’d make for some differentiation, and make something that would appeal to non-Spider-Verse AFOLs.

For Peter B., I’d like his AtSV pink bathrobe attire, since his ItSV look can be easily replicated. I’d also love a Mayday babyfig.

I’m okay with Spider-Noir, as long as he has his Rubix cube. (Another copyright-mess, yes, but it’d be great for use outside a Spider-Verse CMF.) Spider-Ham should be excluded, since he’s in the Daily Bugle, and not much different from his look in ItSV. Penni would be a boring minifig without her mech, so that leaves two options open.

 

My predictions/hopes for the Spider-Verse CMF:

 1. Miles Morales (ItSV)

 2. Gwen (Casual)

 3. The Prowler (ItSV)

 4. Peter B. Parker + Mayday (AtSV)

 5. Spider-Man Noir (ItSV, baby)

 6. Spider-Man 2099 (AtSV) with Lyla Hologram

 7. Spider-Woman (AtSV)

 8. Spider-Man India

 9. Spider-Punk

 10. Scarlet Spider (AtSV, h-e-double-hockey stick yeah) + Spider-Cat

 11. Miles G. Morales (if you know you know)

 12. Spider-Byte or Doc Ock (ItSV) or Vulture (AtSV) or Spider-Metro Boomin’ or Bombastic Bag-man
