BrickyNolan35 Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 LEGO can do anything they want to. It doesn't have to be what we want, unfortunately. Just look at The Avengers Hulk set. Hawkeye is flying that little jet, when in reality it wouldn't be that tiny. You have to consider scale. It is very possible they would do an X-Jet on a small scale. I would imagine they wouldn't make Mr. Fantastic rubbery. They may consider one longer arm than the other, but I doubt that all the time. They may include a brick inbetween his legs and torso to look like he is stretched in the middle, but more than likely he'll be a normal minifigure in his uniform. I can't imagine they do anything too special, although I hope I'm wrong. They could also use Woody's legs from the toy story theme if they can Quote
gedren_y Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 I don't know if I still have that fig together, but I can do it with another one. Maybe tomorrow. As for the Juggernaut, Lego could go the route the did for Hagrid in Harry Potter. Cain Marco isn't on the size scale of the Hulk, but he is taller and bulkier. The same could be done for the Blob.

Numbuh1Nerd Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 I hope LEGO puts the big figs into high gear. So far we only have 2 Hulks and a Green Goblin. We could use a Juggernaut, as well as Abomination. Not to mention a whole bunch of DC characters in need of the Bigfig treatment. It's so weird that they've only been in the Marvel line so far and haven't even been shown to be in any upcoming DC sets. Bane, Killer Croc, and Solomon Grundy could use bigfigs and they're all Batman villains for the most part. Seems like wasted opportunity. The only reason there were so many Big figs in the video game, was to give players choice. The game had new mechanics that only the Hulk could operate. This was fine but it meant that if a player didn't like using Hulk they were stuck with him. Hence why so many big figs were added. That's not to say certain characters like Colossus and The Thing would have made it into the game, but both of these characters are not large enough to warrant big figs. Only a few characters like Hulk, red Hulk, Juggernaut and Blob really need to be big figs. Nah, Thing is totally big enough for a Bigfig. Colossus is debateable, but I'm sure Bigfigs are going to happen more often, most likely with the same characters from the game. Remember, they gave She-Hulk and Power Man Hulk-strength and they're still minifig sized. I highly doubt Groot would be a big-fig. He will be a strange figure with some unique parts, for sure, but he doesn't fit the current 'big-fig' type since all of the current ones are very bulky characters while Groot is rather slender. I'm not sure if he will or not, but I'd prefer him to be a Bigfig (especially if he's comic-based). It seems odd to me that the LEGO game would make a full batch of designs of GOTG characters that probably wouldn't be included if not for the movie but then create entirely new ones for the movie sets. Slender or no, I imagine we'll get him the same way he appeared in the video game. I wouldn't mind him being brick-built or something, but I still think the bigfig route is most likely-- possibly a more unique mold than the Hulk/Goblin one? I wouldn't mind more Dogpound-style figures though, more unique parts compatible with base minifig parts would really expand the possibilities for characters. For thing, someone mentioned something like the arms from the Power Miners' smaller rock monsters (do they connect the same was as minifig arms or not? Never had any of those sets). That could work for Gorilla Grodd too, IMO. Not that we'll ever get an official Gorilla Grodd, I don't think we'll get any more Flash love than the Riddler set we got this year. I'm almost certain that after the Justice League movie (rumored to be filming immediately after Batman vs Superman) we'll see a lot more variety in our sets. Given Flash's rogues, I think we're likely to get at least 3 sets focused on him at some point. Quote

I like to think we could get Flash sets when he gets a TV show, but evidently Lego doesn't have any kind of agreement that pertains to Arrow (or it's not kid friendly enough? It really doesn't strike me as any more adult than Avengers though, maybe a little more violent but not a lot). Quote

Given Flash's rogues, I think we're likely to get at least 3 sets focused on him at some point. I agree, I believe Clay Face should be a big fig, he's usually double the size of Batman, Kilowag could need it, and Mongul (if they ever even bother to do him). Though one thing I never understood is why people say Darkseid doesn't need a big fig, the man's huge, he's like 2-3x bigger than Superman, which would put him on scale of a big fig, he's pretty much on par with Thanos, isn't he? And as for the Flash sets, when the movies come out, Justice League merchandise for Lego will most certainly revolve around them, I doubt they want classic comic style looks with interesting building going against cruddy vehicles and movie designs. Flash might have a chance in 2016, so I won't say anything about that for now, but I doubt we'll ever get anything with the Rogues, Reverse Flash, or anyone else. That is unless of course, they appear in the DCCU Quote
deskp Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 I much prefer getting normal figures with new molds, instead of more bigfigs. Most bigfig worthy characthers are not that interesting. Quote
Faefrost Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 I highly doubt Groot would be a big-fig. He will be a strange figure with some unique parts, for sure, but he doesn't fit the current 'big-fig' type since all of the current ones are very bulky characters while Groot is rather slender. I'd like to see more characters like Dogpound. I think that would work for Thing and Blob pretty well, since it would make them big but not ridiculous. This is falling more in line with the Big-Fig discussion topic, though. I think Groot would work well using the Toy Story Woody type body with a headpiece not unlike the LotR's Mouth of Sauron. Quote
Ultron Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 I much prefer getting normal figures with new molds, instead of more bigfigs. Most bigfig worthy characthers are not that interesting. I agree. Bigfigs are alright and I understand why some characters need to be made as them but they're just not very interesting to me. Kinda like minifigs with short legs. They need to increase articulation in the bigfigs for me to really care for them. The can't do anything accept move their arms and hands. That's boring to me. And I really hate how their arms have holes on the insides They just kinda stand there and look pretty really... Quote
BrickG Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Bigfigs need better articulation. That's my only real complaint. I'm looking at the Hulk. The legs really should articulate as well as the head. At least as much as other minifigures. I figure the reason they don't is simply to save money. :/ Quote
Swifty118247 Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Don't know if this is really that relevent but the rumour that the flick piece is part of the x-jet could be true. Here is the one from the video game. Quote
Mr. Elijah Timms Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 I noticed the BlackBird's construction in the game as well... And I just don't see it happening in production. First off, those wings would NEVER stay on, with or without swooshing! Plus, even if a fig could fit in that cockpit space (looks to be 2 wide), TLG would rather include a clear canopy piece in the design. Playability, functionality, call it what you will. But there's no way that's the production model. Quote

Dr Leg O Brick Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Not to mention the official ones seems to be dark blue. Talking of tussles between Colossus and Jug, the one in the bar just after the Secret Wars still brings a smile to my face. I was hoping they'd make Colossus as a regular fig, and use the red hockey armour piece to slightly make him taller. Maybe it's a smaller support craft like the yellow one in the 90's animated series? Or it's just made up of huge fuselage pieces to get to the 200 pieces... Either way I'm buying it, just to get the figs. If the jet's lacklustre, I'll just buy an extra one or two separated on eBay, and MOD it. And two more sentinels. Maybe Wolverine's been fast ball specialed out the Blackbird? Quote
gedren_y Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 To that sentinel, the 2004 Danju large figure actually looks better. Remove the yellow and change the head and you have a classic X-Men sentinel. Quote

DJ Bricks Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Yeah it appears the alternate. Wolverine suit is all TT games saw. Most $50 have five figures. Usually. Three good guys vs two bad ones or three bad vs two good. Unless this set has four good guys Wolverine, Storm Cyclops and Beast(he is the one who buiilt the Blackbird.) Maybe Magneto and the Sentinel are our two bad guys. Quote

Maybe Magneto and the Sentinel are our two bad guys. I doubt they'll forgo another minifig for the brick-built Sentinel. I have a feeling it will be akin to Doctor Doom's chopper from the Daily Bugle set or the jeep from the Battle for Smallville Set. Edited January 17, 2014 by TheSilentShane Quote
JaseTJ Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 I quite frankly highly doubt we'll get a Beast at this point, regardless of whether or not he made the Blackbird. I just don't think that's something Lego would take into consideration. Most likely if we do get another baddy, it'll be Mystique, or maybe Juggernaut. Quote
CorneliusMurdock Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 I don't see what possible problem TLG would have with Beast. In fact, he might not even need any new moulds if they recolored the elf/werewolf hair. He'd be easier to make than Juggernaut, I'd think. And he'll be appearing in the movie, which makes him much more likely to appear in the set if TLG wants to capitalize on character recognition. Quote

Extremely close, it's #182 with the bar brawl. Not a great idea from Wolverine, a man who can't get drunk, and he takes Colossus (a guy who can get drunk like the rest of us, while he's going through a rough time) out to have a word with him about breaking a friends heart, and while trying to make an exit after realizing Marko's (Juggernaut) in the Bar, Colossus ends up knocking a pint over on him, who's still pretty peeved that he got beaten by Spider-Man (Spider-Man #230). One hell of a way to end the fight between Colossus and Juggernaut, literally bringing the house down. Anyway, I'd never seen Dog pound the TMNT fig before, and I was shocked. That's perfect for a dozen of the bigger than average characters, and it looks like it could cost less as well. I've always hated the big fig Hulk, the Hulk to me isn't 10 feet tall, only about 7 feet at least, so this looks like a great solution. Maybe a spring arm like the giant Rock Monster's from Power Miner's for Colossus, if they make him, so he can fast ball special Wolverine? Be a pretty nice play feature, I think. More on topic, I don't see a problem with Beast, he's generally well known, a founding member of the X-Men, a high profile member of the Avengers, and part of possibly my favourite line-up of them, he's also had good coverage in X-Men media, both animated series and two (I believe) of the film's, and, lastly, he's one of my favourite character's ever, so I've got no problem. And Lego can make him pretty easily, no new mold's or nothing, just printing as the MOD said. So we know where getting Wolverine, Storm, and Magneto (in a costume that he wore when he teamed up with the X-Men and became a good guy). I'm expecting two more, Cyclops, as he's iconic (although he's lost it recently, IMHO), and well known. Storm has led the team before however, I'm thinking they’ll include still include Cyc. And one more, I'm thinking either Jean Gray, Bishop, Gambit, Prof X, Beast or Colossus, as with the sentinel I think we've got enough villains. Only a few more day's, London toy fair begins on the 21st, till then I'll just chew my way through a table or two. Seems like forever, doesn’t it? Edited January 17, 2014 by Dr Leg O Brick Quote
Legoevilelmo Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Having seen the catalogue, I can confirm that there are the following figures : storm, wolverine (with mask in brown), cyclops (looks sort of like astonishing x-men). The bad guy is magneto obviously. The sentinel is packed in with the blackbird itself. No mention of a second DC wave for the year... Quote

I have seen it and the full image shows both of the previously shown imaged, but with Cyclops piloting the Blackbird in the middle. CM4S - I can certainly take a look tomorrow for you.
