In this video, I want to talk about the printing problems Lego Marvel needs to really sort out. I'm starting to get annoyed that Lego doesn't give superheroes the printing they deserve, which makes the figures in the set look cheap in comparison to the CMF and even other themes like Star Wars.
I used a lot of footage from @TiagoCatarino so please go and check out his review video a lot with all the other people featured in this video :)

I one thousand percent agree! Seriously, it always frustrates me that Lego is so negligent towards leg print or even dual molded legs. They can pull out the stops for creating new molds and face printing, but you can't bother to give a character leg detailing? Lmao.
I also agree
SERIOUSLY MINIFIGURES UPDATE.
Lego figures look like there knockoffs and custom
The fact Lego introduced dual moulded legs for Batman back for BvS and then never used them again on any of their grey suit batmen frustrates me to no end.
It’s fine when we don’t get leg printing on characters it makes sense for, there are tons of them. But when a character does need it and doesn’t get it, it just feels bad to all of us.
I honestly think it depends on the figure for me. I think reusing leg prints between three characters (like Falcon, Black Widow and Hawkeye) is perfectly fine, because none of them have particularly distinct outfits below the waist. They pass off as the character very well. But a character like Green Goblin from the No Way Home final battle needs specific leg printing for him to look right.
It still baffles me that important characters like Captain America and Black Panther don't get the leg or arm printing treatment meanwhile Shadow The Hedgehog gets both of those treatment and he comes in a $20 set
each theme gets a certain budget, theres less sonic sets the sets get more budget. simple
@@frendamikotoand less minifigs
Why can’t we cmf quality minifigures in sets that cost hundreds of dollars.
Like moon knight in the marvel cmf is just incredible, printing, dual molding, for only five bucks
I think leg printing matters way more then arm printing, like imagine if we always had arm printing on iron man instead of like Brandon, it’d look so damn weird
I absolutely love this new channel and I agree, the lack of detailed minifigures released by LEGO really drives the custom minifigure market. Another example is the new Ronan the Accuser minifigure, which is just such a downgrade compared to the previous 2014 version…
It just occurred to me that that figure came out nearly a decade ago... how the fuck did they manage to make a worse version of a figure from 9 years ago!?
Marvel minifigs are what got me back into lego as an AFOL and the plain legs have been bothering me for a while now as well. Green goblin is a particularly egregious example, especially as his torso print is very "busy", which combined with the bright green colour, makes the plain legs stand out even worse. I'm amazed we didn't get a purple hood piece for him as well.
Black Panther is the main one that repeatedly gets denied leg printing and visually really suffers for it. Gorr was a really bad one-off - he could have had a printed dress piece and even a white minifigure lowered hood (like the Quidditch ones), instead the plain legs and arms just look so poor.
Check out the 2023 Ninjago minifigure selection. All the main characters (heroes, villains, and even the villains' henchmen) have brilliant hip and leg printing, and some have printed arms and bespoke, printed headgear as well. You are correct, they could do better with the Marvel ones, but someone is deciding not to, unfortunately.
As an action figure collector, you always expect the newer version of a figure you buy, to be better than the older one. Better paint, better articulation, more detailed sculpt etc. And most of the time thats what you get. Lego minifigures on the other hand have no sculpt or extra articulation, so there is no way to improve them apart from full arm and leg printing. In 2023, arm and leg printing should be mandatory really.
I do care. Thats why i also buy unnoficial brands and mix and match em with official lego minifigures. I am very used to side and leg printings now unless i need im trying to collect in a specified way
A gripe I’ve always had is Captain America’s only minifigure with leg prints is his zombie version, so I have to decide which of my Cap Minifigures gets the luxury of the arms and legs from my spare Captain Carter. My guess is in the @ tower they gave Hawkeye the generic head rather than the CMF is because AoU Clint is younger than his Hawkeye series counterpart, which is why they chose the generic head
I'm currently collecting new Marvel Minifig series and was a bit disappointed to see that Clint Hawkeye was left leg-printless while Kate Bishop got it even though they both have the same black bottom.
Completely agree, for the prices they charge and for it being a main flag ship franchise the quality of minifigures in especially large sets is appalling. For both star wars and marvel I don't know why they can't give clones waist capes and Marvel characters leg printing and extra prints.
This is why Ive begun to not wait for LEGO to release figures for characters that I like, because I was super excited for the NWH Goblin figure, since I loved Willem’s performance so much, and it came out so underwhelming. I’m glad I had already gotten a more detailed one from AliExpress a year ahead of time.
All I really want is for LEGO to make comic/classic minifigs again, but if you aren't going to do that the last you can do is give Cap some dual molded legs.
It’s insane to me that LEGO Star Wars has normalized leg printing so much that they’ve moved onto wider-spread inclusions of toe and arm printing before considering standardizing leg printing across themes like Marvel. It’s so unfortunate that Star Wars has not received a CMF series, however I’d argue that many modern SW figures (like Bo Karan, Boba Fett, Captain Rex, Ahsoka, etc) are already CMF quality, with the only details “missing” being in the form of dual-molded pieces and cloth accessories. These inclusions have always been relatively unique to CMFs compared to any mainline LEGO set, so the fact that we’re so close to that level of premium quality in fairly cheap sets has definitely not gone unnoticed. It sucks to see SW getting praised for having the best year of minifig releases while Marvel hasn’t had that same level of love, but I’m hopeful that the positive response they’ve received is enough to tell LEGO they’re headed in the right direction!
Personally, having leg or arm prints is great, but I honestly don't mind plain black legs, because then they’re not locked for one specific character only.
And since I like mix and match and do my own custom minifigures, having pieces, that works for everyone is great
The Statue of Liberty is so highly priced for what you get, and they can't even bother to have leg printing. For the Tower, how does Cap not get dual molded legs for boots?
I think it was Ashton flash that talked about the mini figures, but what he said is that they have A thing where they only can bring a certain amount of printed pieces, so like the torso is obviously going to be used and wherever they can find shortcuts to using previous printed pieces is how they help with cost from my memory if they use like printing or arm printing, it’s either reused from somewhere, or the minifigure was too special
It really sucks that when they decide to cheap out on details, it's for characters that won't likely get made again. Once the No Way Home set retires, it could be a really long time before that Electro, Green Goblin, and Doc Ock gets remade even though it is probably on track to be on shelves for years like the first Razor Crest.
The NWH Green Goblin was the figure that really made me think "wow Lego really cheaped out here" that figure NEEDED leg prinring or AT LEAST the Indiana Jones Satchel
It is a big issue for me. I always have to make some sort of improvement on my Marvel figures when I get them. The most common ones I change are heads and legs.
I mean is it so hard for Lego to give characters like Cap dual molded legs? It sucks that we have to do it ourselves when Lego has the perfect pieces in their inventory. They don't even need leg peinting half the time, just dual molded legs that already exist.
I got one Captain America, with swapped out legs and arms from Captain Carter and the CMF shield from Winter soldier and he's like one of the most beautiful minifigs I got and just so pretty to look at. My most desired atm to get would be Silver Centurion Iron Man, just to have those 2 at the same level
I deeply care about the marvel theme to bits
But minifigure wise I’m not fussed on whether we get a full decked out figure
The CMF’s are cool but recently I looked at my figures and went “they are fine as they are”
I do think tho that for their biggest building yet the figures should have gotten the CMF treatment
Ya know the ones who needed it like you said
Could someone pls link me the intro music for me pls!! Ik trying to start my yt channel and I love this music!!!
This is a good set but I have to agree we need more printing/dual molding
I totally agree with you man, that's a issue I'm complaining about with my best firend who is a Star wars lego fan for a long time !
The details put in random character that appears 5 sec in a movie (Yeah i'm talking about you Boolio "new head mold and leg print") but can't give Captain or Thor a detailled figure in a 500$ set...
And then Star Wars fans claim to be the most oppressed group by LEGO I even saw one comment saying “it’s crazy how LEGO gives a waist cape to a side character that barely has screen time (refering to scarlet which) Instead of a beloved clone commander (refering to fox who only has 5 mins of screen time)
I have often thought that the cmf is the way to go in regards to these figures.
I feel most of our hero’s don’t need or use vehicles, I mainly collect the figures.
So why not just work your way through all the marvel characters and gives us them in cmf?
at least they make marvel sets based around more than one character with dc its batman or bust
I absolutely agree with you. Especially since there's a disconnect between figures in the same set. In avengers tower alone, you have characters like vision and the iron man suits, the new loki(I'm not entirely sure if the loki is new with the printing,but it's very detailed regardless), and the new ultron. But then you also have figures like hawkeye, where the most special part about him is his hair and his bow, being the new ones from the cmfs. It just makes the set seem very unbalanced, as there are a couple really desirable minifigs and a bunch of lackluster ones.
I agree because when I first found out about hawkeyes new and apparently 'more accurate to jeremy renner' I was shocked as you can't have a police officer and hawkeye with the same face. Just adding a bit more detail can change the overall quality of a minifigure.
This video is basically everything I’ve said a million times before on Instagram and been criticized for.
The Marvel theme is more about the characters than it is anything else. And for someone like myself, I’d just like to collect the figures to be able to have a nice collection of good looking MCU characters to display. But when the figures from the sets look lazy, cheap and/or like they’re from a set from 5+ years ago, I don’t even bother.
Clearly, like you said in the video, LEGO has a misplaced focus on what is the most important part of a LEGO Marvel set. I don’t know why they don’t see the massive success of the Hasbro Marvel Legends line and take a page out of that book. I honestly wouldn’t mind if LEGO made $10-$25 sets with smaller builds, or sometimes none at all, if they’d include figures in the set that were even half as good as the CMF ones
Yes say it louder for the people in the back 18+ set should have at least 2 cmf worthy minifigs like I’m shelling out 500 bucks on a set I want to get my money worth
Off topic to this, but, have you seen the No Way Home Sandman set leak??
I really want more leg printing on the standard figures, I also personally just don't like some of the aethetic chamges they seem to be going with (cell shaded looking Iron Man suits or certain characters like hulk awkwardly smiling)
I don't care about leg prints, but do care about face prints
cloth waste capes need to come back
Also just look at the recently released no way home sandman by firestartoys. I felt i had to get one seeing as he was missing from the no way home set (other than the brick built hand and sand base)
Dang, people are hard to please. I love the SW Mos Eisley play set mentioned in the video but I would have been very happy to have more minifigs included in it. Here the Avengers tower has like 30 figures which is amazing and people still complain.
They did that new Green Goblin so dirty with no leg or arm prints. Such an absolutely lazy, lack of effort on such an important character.
They definitely did the green goblin dirty. Other themes struggle with this as well, Bellatrix having NO dress printing in either Harry Potter set she's in is a shame too especially when other characters in the same set with the same dress piece do.
The Wanda figure just needed a little bit of hip printing for her corset, otherwise, (and this is the way they did it), it scrunches up the outfit trying to fit it all on the torso, making it look completely disproportional.
Idk your argument about Scarlett witch is just okay to ke considering that she does have an incredibly detailed version of her in the first cmf, with leg printing, waist printing, dual molded arms, and an, at the time new, hairpiece. Clone troopers get leg printing but no arm prints, no dual molding, no waist printing, no side leg printing, and no cloth peices and for the most part we dont get alternate versions of the same type of clone in otger sets. Like we will probably never see those purple clones again or at least for a long time. And you can argue that that version of wanda should be used in ever version of her but we have the same issue in star wars where the UCS gunship comes with mace windu with no arm printing but the republic tank version of him has arm printing. Most theams have varying qualities of the same figure. I do agree that it is an issue but i dont think its a marvel specific issue, i actually think marvel has a lot of really awsome figures. I just think that all of lego should be doing leg printing at this point. Even with city at this point, we should be getting jeans, track pants, shorts khaky pants and more with pocket details, dual molded legs with shoes and boots, and we should be getting these in standard sets not just minifigure packs. And itd doesnt have to be for every character but it should be a lot more than what it is.
I'm going to making a video about star wars figures vs marvel figs talking this very issue just not trying to make it sound ranty XD thanks for the comment its good feedback
It’s wild all the Eternals got leg printing and Captain America (Steve Rogers) has never had leg printing to THIS DAY 😂 could’ve gotten 2 USES in the avengers tower just saying Lego
Even Love and Thunder Thor got leg printing (the only time his had leg printing)
THANK YOUUU!!! The one person to say something!! THE BUILD IS AMAZING!!! BUT PLS THE FIGURES ARE SO BAD TO ME AND FEEL LIKE THEY RUIN THE PRICE POINT!!! We deserved more hero’s and honestly I would’ve wanted comic avengers in there! EVERY FIGURE IS A REUSE!!!! Everyone almost has these figures already
yes. Set characters need just as much care and detail as CMF figures. It just doesn`t make sense that they don't.
I won the Captain Carter minifig on your whatnot stream. I always wanted her to upgrade Captain America. Thanks!!
That green gobby fig was severely lacking printing.
You can look at the Hawkeye face as him being younger because the Avengers went back to 2012
Dude the lack of leg printing is crazy. It's been a problem for years. I'm more of a star wars guy, and with star wars, its the standard! if a mini figure doesn't have it, its very abnormal. With marvel, it feels like a one in a million
Awesome Tommy 😄
I just want leg printing for Green Goblin 😫
So true man
I haven’t really thought about it but yeah I like more detailed mini figures
not just main line, but exclusive figures too! looking at you, Daredevil and Punisher....
If you’re gonna take video shots from other videos, you can at least credit them on screen. I know you have them on the description but you can do more
I have the Liberty head set and the Green Goblin with completely bland legs kills me
The only reason I’m a Lego fan is because I’m a hardcore marvel fan and I needed a marvel collectable that would be good valuable fun-to-play-with customisable, so I started getting Lego more specifically Lego marvel
Edit: oh yeah and the vision figure is good, i hope they give us a vision in the infinity saga sets
I noticed non of them have leg prints BUTTTTTTTTT I really want iron man with arm prints cause that would be sick
Yup. Especially for a $500 set, some of these minifigs are disappointing
Yes they need to sort it all out but csn we go back to the atrocities of the new iorn man helmet
The new Vision is immaculate
i couldnt agree more. so on point.
I say that I agree with you to an extent, cus there is such a thing as over-detailed
I do
The avengers tower minifigures were so underwhelming
I believe most Superheroes buyers are kids whereas Star Wars fans are mostly grown-ass adults who are prone to complaining a lot. The goal of the Superheroes team is different from the team working on Star Wars. Sure, there are adults buying Superheroes of course, including me with at least 1/3 of my collection are Marvel sets alone, but I can bet a majority of sales from that line are from people buying them as gifts for kids to play with. As such, the goal of Superheroes is to please younger Lego fans who will always be happy to build and customize their own characters to play with, not the accuracy-purity-driven nature of collecting by adults who knows what they should be getting with their money. There is no younger generation of Star Wars fans, as obviously evident by the lack of interest in Sequel Trilogy sets even from Lego. Prequel and OT fans are all in their 20's at least now. For us, you'd better give me printed legs or I'll sue the heck out of you, or Cancel Culture gets put into motion. While this set is labelled as 18+, the only thing that's 18+ about that is the price. The entire project was still driven by the same goal as the team developing a Superheroes set and targeted at the same audience: younger collectors. A wrong Separatist droid appearing in the wrong Star Wars set immediately draws flak from the masses, but the wrong character in a Superheroes set is still acceptable because we all know accuracy is not a priority especially for the targeted market. Either way, let's just be grateful we even got Vision here, don't see how he'll be appearing in any other set.
yes.
They should make more marvel comics sets
I didn't watch the vid but the problem are the iron man helmets. 2012 is literally better than the square crap we get today
Personally I care a little bit to the figure to look like the character that it was based let’s take the Mandalorian as a example I like his figure because it looks like the character from the show
Yes, Lego should treat their Marvel minifigures with more love
Those custom figures creep me out. They give them too much detail for lego minifigures
3:00 i dont care the difference between sets and cmf but it's a crime to have just a torso printing for CAPTAIN AMERICA one of the most popular heroes ever and next to him you have echo, someone that nobody cares about who has printing everywhere AND A NEW LEG MOLD!
WHERE IS THE SATUE OF LIBERTY!!!!!!
more detailed figures look worse, theyre to unlego like. the vision looks like one of those expensive customs that look awful. you say the less detailed figures look like knockoff but the custom ones you showed look even more like a shitty cheap knockoff
3:58 he looks younger tho
Not to bother but where is the statue of liberty moc videos?
working on them as we speak :)
I really need to know am I feeling one who really dislikes this version minifigure I hate the transparent leg thing
I just love lego the way it is
it is a problem
I can’t stand the way green goblin looks man
I like the tower but too expensive i can't afford it😂
They s put more care into figures, Star Wars had great figures this year, Marvel is much behind.
I used a lot of footage from TiagoCatarino & MinisuperherosToday so please go and check out there reviews along with all the other people featured in this video :) (more in description)

MSHT interview with the Designers ► th-cam.com/video/mNTGGy3pcqQ/w-d-xo.html
I know it would be crazy big and expensive but why can’t we get a accurate mini figure scale build, previous quinjet should of been able to fit in the avengers tower and yet there’s a tiny version, that’s not accurate to the size at all
Can I pls have a mini fig
Am i the only one that thinks this vision sucks?
Lego figures todat look like knockoffs
So much of this video was ads and waffling. This could have been a 1 minute video or a short lmao. If you find yourself repeating the same idea but rewording it, cut that bs out of the script.
Nice
First😊
Flip off

MINIFIG LEGS MATTER !
MLM 🦵
Who is with me?
No
I do
