I assume they've had numbers people tell them that they'll sell more if people don't know what they're getting so they'll keep buying until they get the one they want OR they'll keep buying (and getting duplicates) until they get the full set. The level of printing on White Vision’s body is sublime, with generous details all over, including his arms and sides of his legs. Did anyone within TLG raise any concerns in meetings similar to those raised here and if so where those concerns listened to or dismissed? This is a really fun take on Spider-Man, and while it doesn’t really introducing anything new or fresh other than the Doctor Strange cape, Zombie Hunter Spidey is a fun concept, and I’m excited to see more of him in What If. What makes this a great minifigure is the level of detail on his body, and the new Peter Parker head too, which is quite a rarity as you almost always get Spidey with his mask on.

High quality – For more than 6 decades, LEGO® building pieces have been made to ensure they are consistent, compatible and work every time With LEGO Minifigures and Marvel fans ready to go out and hunt for their favourite minifigures, fans who haven’t been keeping up with LEGO news will be encounter these new blind boxes, which have replaced blind bags, hereby eliminating the ability to “feel” for your desired minifigures. If you’ve been following my blog, you’ll know that my positition on this has been clear, I do not support the switch to pure blind boxes, as it encourages gambling, and the uncertainty of what you will get, something that most people can’t afford to do. LEGO could’ve easily included some hidden code or symbol on each box to identify what’s inside, but their unwillingness to do so just reeks of not listening to longtime fans and punishing Minifigure fans. Learn more about LEGO’s sustainable goals and why LEGO made the shift from blind bags to these recyclable blind boxes. Spider-Man's costume otherwise appears reasonably generic, albeit featuring fantastic detail which surpasses previous designs. The colour combination of red and blue looks outstanding, benefiting from the dual-moulded legs and printed arms. The metallic silver accents are lovely too, taking inspiration from Spider-Man's appearance at Avengers Campus and including web fluid cannisters around the waist.

But it’s really fun to confuse people! Also, if a store worker sasses you off about it not being an effective method of finding specific ones, you can buy two or three, make predictions, and open them in front of the worker to see the sass drain out of their face. It’s a beautiful thing to watch." Here’s Moon Knight and Mr. Knight together and they look great as a pair. I do think iy would’ve been way better if we had Scarlet Scarab included as well with how prominent she was in the TV series, and how cool her character design is.

After the very very poorly received VIDIYO blind-boxes, which were so unpopular (despite the cool kid-centric designs) Series 2 was outright cancelled in some countries, I’m surprised that no lessons were learned and LEGO is just going to try again with a more popular theme. There could be a way to determine which minifigures are which based on specific batches and combinations, but it hasn’t been uncovered yet, or maybe there’s the potential to do so in future series. So CMF gets a certain budget to create new molds, and that is not available for the general design teams to borrow from. The good news is that by spreading out production worldwide, those new CMF elements do tend to become instantly available to other themes, where before you had to pitch them like a completely new design, since they’d basically have to cut a new mold for non-Chinese production. Not every CMF element will show up in other themes, but hopefully under the new arrangement there’s some crosstalk to make sure they don’t miss any opportunities to turn a single-use design into something that can be reused long-term. Even if it means listening to people whinge about the baby croc-o-gator not having Loki horns.

Overall

The good news is that there are 3 complete sets in each box of Marvel Studios Minifigures – which is great news if you plan to split the box up with friends as there are no “chase minifigures”. Marvel Minifigures Series 2 will release on 1 September (October in ANZ), and will feature 12 all-new characters inspired by Marvel Studios TV shows, from Hawkeye to She-Hulk to Moon Knight and the upcoming X-Men 97 series. Gifts for Marvel fans – These durable LEGO® minifigures can be given to kids aged 5+ and adults as an unexpected treat to expand their collections Alternative heads are supplied, completing Spider-Man's costume or revealing Peter Parker's face beneath the mask. Both designs are unique and Peter's double-sided head looks perfect, featuring happy and worried expressions. The minifigure also carries a web thread and should prove appealing as a generic depiction of Spider-Man, even without the cloak. After narrowing down the format, which was the cubical format, the team also explored different shapes and played around with these concepts before deciding on the square ones.

Beast looks fantastic rendered in blue, with plenty of fur detailing across his body and a primary face featuring Hank’s thoughtful face with glasses on. This wave contains some neat characters, as well as a few obscure ones (in my opinion). Additionally, I am intrigued by the new owl figurine, which appears smaller than previous owls we’ve seen. I love the Moon Knight minifig, even though I did not watch the series. The detailing is amazing. Conversely, I grew up on the X-Men animated series in the ’90s. Consequently, those characters are always welcome. But blind boxes? Those are a major killjoy for me. Feeling up bags was part of the whole Minifigure experience.

Included in Series 2 are legendary mutants like Storm, Beast, and Wolverine, this assortment pays a fitting tribute to the reboot of the classic X-Men animated series. Unfortunately the spray job on Wolverine’s mask isn’t the greatest and there are splotches near the edges.

How to find one: Throg is a little hard to make out as he’s quite large, and feels like an indeterminate lump. You can also try feeling for the mug, which has a more recognisable shape with the handle, and cylindrical shape. With She-Hulk best known for her fourth-wall breaking antics, fans will be delighted with her accessories. First, there’s a 2×3 printed tile with a legal file for Emil Blonsky aka the Abomination. The initials GLK&H (Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg & Holliway) are for the law firm that she works at. Upon arriving at Westview, Monica dispatches a S.W.O.R.D. drone to investigate the anomaly. The vehicle resembles a miniature helicopter and accompanies this minifigure, replicating the most significant details from the onscreen design. They include a rotating rotor blade and the tail, but this red colour deviates from the original dark blue design. the popular Studio digital LEGO program that one of the most incomplete themes, that is a theme which does not
