Rumoured LEGO Marvel and DC summer 2023 figures are familiar
The rumoured summer 2023 wave of LEGO Marvel buildable figures may need to rely on the older CCBS designs thanks to their reported faces.
As part of the rumoured LEGO Marvel and DC summer 2023 set list, buildable figures for Wolverine, Captain America and Batman are reportedly on the way.
With rumours of a $35 price point, these potential models seem likely to be similar to 76226 Spider-man Figure, 76206 Iron Man Figure and the other figures currently available. However, those figures with the exception of 76230 Venom Figure, are masked and have no aspects of their face exposed.
Wolverine, Captain America and Batman’s traditional outfits have their lower face exposed and as such, this could be a new aspect to introduce to the modern buildable figure designs. However, it’s not entirely new to the LEGO portfolio.
Some of the first LEGO Marvel and DC sets released in the modern take on the theme are 4526 Batman and 4597 Captain America. These figures used the Character and Creature Building System of pieces similar to those from BIONICLE and Hero Factory. They also had parts of the faces exposed, moulded as part of a unique head element to represent the characters rumoured to be getting figures later this year.
It’s an interesting look for the figures and we may see later this year whether or not this idea works better as a System buildable figure instead. The System figures used a single element for the shape of the head and printing the lower face on this piece may be the simplest and most effective option.
Note that the rumoured set list has not been officially confirmed and all information should be taken with caution until officially confirmed by the LEGO Group.
