It's crazy how Lego still hasn't made the Fantastic Four (despite the fact that they can reuse the torso for three of the team members), Silver Surfer, Professor X and the majority of the X-Men, Mystique, Slealth Suit Captain America, Ronin, Smart Hulk, Kang, Stan Lee, and wide release versions of the Symbiote Suit and Jean Grey, keeping mind the fact that these are all prominent MAIN CHARACTERS. But hey, at least we got Venomized Green Goblin right?

“Can we get leg printing on our Lego marvel minifigures?”

“Best we can do is re-used face prints”

[jazzbee]

Man, I'm still frustrated with that Green Goblin figure. The lack of leg printing at the bare minimum was so insulting, but he also desperately needed a cloth piece and arm printing as well.

Why is Robin not in that Adam West Batman set? One of the most iconic parts of that show was Adam and Burt’s dynamic as Batman and Robin.

Fans: Can we get some new characters in your superhero themes?
Lego: Avenger, Spider-Man, and Batman.

[jaxjams]

it’s so strange to me that lego won’t make more comic sets, when the superhero theme started the sets were based on the videos games lego were making and the comic look and style really suits the lego style the bright colors and unique characters really suit lego

now i feel everything must tie into a new movie release or a show on Disney+ and to me personally something about the modern mcu designs aren’t fun to look at as a mini-figure maybe i’m just nostalgic but i feel this is a major reason we haven’t got the fantastic four or other beloved characters that don’t get a lot of love in the movies

One other thing that bothers me about LEGO Marvel's minifigures are the GLARING lack of comic book characters, which I also think would help your point about reusing characters as often as possible.

Think about Iron Man for example. The MCU has SO many different versions of Iron Man that while there's sure to be some overlap, there are just way too many versions to keep up with and you have to worry about putting the right one into the right sets. Can't have the Bleeding Edge suit in an Avengers 1 set. Meanwhile, if they were to make a few of the suits from the comics and make more comic focused sets, they'd be able to tell more stories with the same minifigure. Same goes even more so for characters with fewer or no major costume changes. Perfect the design once, you can reuse it for a long time.

I'm honestly just SICK of seeing MCU characters, only getting a few others like Spider-Man villains or the occasional set like the overpriced X-Men jet. I'd honestly take a Marvel Comics CMF at this point

[Belangerz]

I’d love to a see a Christopher Reeve Superman set. With Gunn’s Superman coming next year and the rumor of the Superman mech, I’m hoping we can get more Superman sets in the next couple of years.

I want a DC Hall of Justice set. Fill it with mini figs, whether they're from the Super Friends show or the current version of the the comics. 10 heroes and 10 villains.

[sonicspeed]

I'll never understand why Lego didn't capitalize on the renewed interest of Teen Titans (through Teen Titans Go) with sets outside of Dimensions. In a perfect world, they could've released sets with figure designs that could work as both their Original Animated Series and their Go counterparts. That way they can release 4+ sets referencing Go and appeal to kids, and also have playscale/D2C sets about the comics/original animated series and appease the hardcore fans while also saving budget for more unique figs (some figs like Starfire might need alternate accesories between versions but you get the point)

[samkerr]

Hope Lego takes notes because they can't justify todays prices in terms of what we're getting. Adding more minifigures throughout all themes would appease the fans.

[shadowsnake]

Deadpool. You're telling me the people that made him kid friendly in Lego marvel superheroes, gave him a set around that time, and made multiple years worth of comicon exclusive figures for him can't do anything, even with the 18+ lineup, during his current peak? Lego is avoiding money like the plague right now, and overall the lack of merchandise is insulting. He's outsold spiderman and the avengers, nuff said, give this man everything.

[mr.crouton_]

With Zemo being a prominent MCU antagonist across multiple projects, I'm so confused as to why he's never had a figure.

[alejandroguerra]

My major problem is the lack of villains and new characters in sets; it’s ridiculous that we had “action figures” before some important characters from the Marvel universe, I really want a comic Baron Zemo and many MCU heroes in their comic appearances (classic or modern look)

[andrews]

How the hell has LEGO never made a fortress of solitude set? It’s the perfect set to use a ton of transparent pieces, and you can include Mongal, the phantom zone projector, bizarro, starro, and like 30 other classic scenes from various Superman comics, films, and shows.

They should focus less on topical movie related sets and more on evergreen ideas of characters. Make Superman look like the cultural idea of Superman, not the latest movie version

[SpiderusPrime]

Both Marvel and DC needing to bring new version of previous exclusive Minifigures like The Hobgoblin, Kraven, Doctor Doom, Deadpool, Ra's Al Ghul, Bizarro, etc, but also strange that the Lego Batman keep using Joker, Harley, Batgirl, and yet Robin and some cases Nightwing is missing despite being part of the iconic pairing of all comic history, that is something wrong where the Boy Wonder isn't there with the Dark Knight in sets.

[DiamondBatToons]

My biggest issue with LEGO Marvel as a whole is the recent obsession with only doing MCU and Disney +/Marvel Studios stuff, as well as their obsession with overusing the "Venomized" theme that went pretty much nowhere. I haven't seen a single set or minifig based off the comics themselves in forever and it's just really annoying at this point.

[bobcarter]

the Guardians vol 3 sets they lazily didn't include Kraglin, High Evolutionary, Cosmo and not even Gamora who already had a minifigure but repeated every other Guardians character in the same Torso. Only Adam Warlock received a figure for the first time.
