R-rated sets would make it too easy for Lego to have minifigures of characters that commit horrific actions, more fun when it's characters who do so by, often accidental, implication like Peter Venkman Quote

Be very afraid I won. But at what cost? (I also lost) Since we have nothing better to do imma restart the Ninjago-fied DC series concept. So let’s start where we left off. Season 7: The Court of Owls (Dick and Cass season) Supergirl’s Anti-Kryptonite armour (£12.99): Supergirl and a Talon (kryptonite infused) Court of Owls pursuit (£29.99): Nightwing, Wally West, KG-Beast, Talon and a Court Member. Builds are a Nightwing Motorcycle and a Court of Owls muscle car. Batcave Break-in (£39.99) Batman, Damian Wayne (Robin), Alfred (Tactical gear print with new shotgun mould), Deathstroke and The Court Leader (Evil Alfred). (Builds are a small Batcave with a Bat-cycle.) Owl’s Hollow (£39.99): Supergirl, Aqualad, Talon, Owlman and Ultraman. Builds are the Court’s headquarters and a portal to Earth 3.

(Massive Grid mech with a sizeable swordfish for Aqualad to ride.) This season is a combination of the Forever Evil and Court of Owls storylines. The gang have returned to Gotham expecting amateur criminals and Arkham inmates. But what they find is an enemy more dangerous than what they’ve ever faced before. Soooo…. Just another Tuesday in comic book Gotham. Let me know if you want to see Season 8: Darkseid War: Part One Edited January 11 by CloneCommando99 Quote

The Battinson head works shockingly well. On 1/5/2025 at 5:03 PM, Renny The Spaceman said: Yeah, it's definitely how I think LEGO looks best, like figures who go all in on the detail can look great, like all the old Middle earth figures but often they can lean into overdesigned and just inversely look bland and loose the LEGO charm. The LEGO original figures who look the best and make the most impact I find are always the ones that do a lot with a little. memorable designs are usually clean, it's why so many 90s designs Superhero designs (not all of them, there are a lot of good ones) don't hold up, more detail can often add unnecessary visual bloat. Like look at the LEGO crash Dummy in LEGO fortnite, there's arm printing and side leg printing but it just looks worse. Some designs call for more detail, King Théoden or the modern Basil the Batlord look great as they are but I think something like a version of a crash test dummy lends itself to simplicity, that is the best way to design one. ALSO something I love about the first couple series of CMFs is that the prints are more stylised and closer to the art-style of Micheal Patton's concept art, I think it's what makes the expressions so cartoony and memorable for me. The Dummy's vacant stare is so funny and effortlessly charming and I think if he was designed today he wouldn't look nearly as good in that regard Funnily enough the newly revealed Blacktron book fig proves your point. The bright white detail on the legs brightens the design up too much, while the classic design works by giving the figure a shadowy presence because your eye is drawn toward the torso and it alone. I also believe that proper utilization of classic LEGO colours on a figure often looks brilliant. It’s why Silver Age designs adapted into LEGO, such as CMF Wolverine or Daily Bugle Spidey, work so well. (Also why I hate that Octan no longer uses classic green and red in their logo. I can see it as a gimmick for a City set or two, but there hasn’t been much Octan outside of LEGO City since.) That Fornite Dummy is cursed. Never realized that the silver part on his belly was meant to be a metal spine. You sir just sent me down a rabbit trail… how have I never seen that concept art before? Looks amazing, especially the Dummy one. That bit of insight has given me so much more apperception for those early CMFs. Now I can’t rest until I have every single one, from Series 1 to… whatever series at which LCU stopped. You’ve doomed me financially.

Very nice profile pic, I don't think you've ever had one that missed. I assuming Luigi will be removing Lex's purple parts to use them in purple-13. Unless Megatron for once called a peace accords with the Autobots, I’d be inclined to say no. Thank you! …Oh yeah, of course. Now obviously, I know what purple-13 is, but for our Seatron buddy way yonder, explain—in very simple, kindergarten-level words—what purple-13 is.

On 1/9/2025 at 8:26 AM, CloneCommando99 said: Lego-wise I have been bombarded with bad news after bad news over the last month. No Superman sets, the LSW summer wave not having any affordable imperial sets, no era variety whatsoever in the SW summer wave play-sets… etc…. It’s been more of a roller coaster over the past few months for me. News of a Spider-Verse set, only for it be $50. News of a Civil War Airport battle, only for Bucky to have the wrong haircolour. News of a U-Wing, only for it be significantly downscaled again. Potential of an Ewok Village, (what else could we derive from “Redwood”?) only to be an unobtainable Death Star. News of a Spider-Man 2 set and Spider-Verse CMF to be combated with disappointing news for LSW in the summer. No Soup sets is probably worst of all, though. One of the biggest blockbusters of the summer won’t be getting a single LEGO set. We truly live in a society.

Figures that get this just look perfect you can convey a lot with a little with stuff like the Blacktron figure I just think they miss the original appeal and it makes the figure forgettable. 3 hours ago, Swordy said: You sir just sent me down a rabbit trail… how have I never seen that concept art before?

I'd megablocking love Superman 3 sets, that'd be hysterical. No dice they ever do a Lex from Superman returns though.

See I think there's a decent chance of they have a mech in development. It'd probably be for a Superman villain with Kara as the second figure to diversify it from the Clark mech. Idk if there'd be time to rush out a set though since it took them two years to do the no-way home one and that would have been a much higher priority. Quote

NWH gives us how much time it takes to put out a normal system based set, because you better believe they were on that the SECOND that movie released. And while I hope superman does well, I think we all realistically know it's not doing NWH numbers. I think best case scenario Superman and/or supergirl get plopped into unrelated Batman sets, and then starting in 2027 if we're lucky we start getting justice league sets. Quote

Yeah, but we're not talking about what it needs to be a successful movie, we're talking about how big it'd have to be to rush sets into production. NWH is a good benchmark as well know pretty much for a fact that companies all scrambled the moment they could to capitalise on it and even then, which not only is a much bigger hit than Superman can ever be but also much easier to make designs for as half the characters had minimal redesigns, it took two years.
