Lenjon Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 It seems like an unofficial tradition that Lego releases two exclusive Super Heroes figures each year, one DC the other Marvel. Martian Manhunter was given away a few months ago but I haven't read anything at all about what Marvel figure (if any) will be released. I've heard speculation that it might be the Winter Soldier (which would make sense) but still no evidence based news about what the exclusive might be. Does anyone here have any ideas on the subject? What would your choice of figure be? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@rtisan Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 No idea to be honest. If they do release another promo figure, it could be anything from Winter Solider, Spider Man, Guardians of the Galaxy, or anything from the Super Hero universe that isn`t featured in a movie this year. Basically, the possibilities are endless, though I think we could eliminate figures that have already been released in sets, Lego isn`t going to make a copy for a promo item. We saw the Martian from a little while, which I think it`s safe to say isn`t nearly as well known as some of the other possibilities. No way to tell what Lego will do next or if they will do it at all 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarCityBrickCompany Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I wouldn't be surprised if they stop doing it. They really got burned last year (with accusations about "the fix"). Although it seems clear that something was up, and that local workers decided to choose the winners on their own - LEGO got slammed for it.

I believe they're talking about promotional polybags, not the San Diego Comic Con minifig winners. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodlenut Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 My guess would be Mr. Fantastic or Green Lantern. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Assuming it hasn't already been chosen, I would think a figure would come from Guardians of the Galaxy most likely. Just because the time and release of the movie might make sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimhammer Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I want this Stan Lee fig to be made. The most epic of all of them.http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/Stan_Lee I'd actually be all over the Stan Lee mini-fig. He is deserving of one and I think that would be awesome. After just finishing the lego superhero game with my kids I would sure like to see a Galactus also. Grim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbroncos59 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Stan Lee for the win! Hell, I might go make a custom one next time I'm in their store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njseale Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Winter Soldier would be the best and most obvious choice I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marco1264 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Winter Soldier would be the best and most obvious choice I think. As we saw with the Martian, they don't always pick the obvious choice... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojoyojimbi Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 there's no precedence for this, why assume they'll release a marvel one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenjon Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 there's no precedence for this, why assume they'll release a marvel one? Actually for the past two years lego has released an exclusive figure for each Super Heroes subtheme so it's very likely (but not guaranteed) that a Marvel exclusive figure will be released at some point in 2014.

scuttfarkas Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 With four MARVEL movies out this summer at least?....( Spiderman, X-Men, Guardians,Captain America) it could be any number of characters. Winter Soldier's a safe choice. TLC isn't afraid to put a big movie character (Iron Patriot) as an exlusive....so it's not like they couldn't do that for Winter Soldier. To that, I'm going to go with the relatively obscure but cross promotional Yondu (played by Michael Rooker) from the Guardians of the Galaxy film. From what I've heard, Guardians of the Galay has been really upjumped to be MARVEL's next potential franchise. Adding a little bit more promotion to it only helps.

glenbart Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 There hasn't been a marvel exclusive since the hulk polyag has there? not including Iron patriot which was with the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quacs Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 There hasn't been a marvel exclusive since the hulk polyag has there? not including Iron patriot which was with the game. Last year's was the Ironman poly. I think it was an April or May giveaway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
