Since LEGO began releasing sets under the Marvel brand with the 2012 release\u00a0The Avengers<\/em>\u00a0the MCU sets has been a stronghold for the LEGO brand.<\/span>\u00a0LEGO has not really released any Marvel Comics sets, except for the Daily Bugle D2C set. Instead, they have focused on the Marvel Cinematic Universe releases.<\/span>\u00a0It’s been more than a decade since we got anything X-Men-related and we have never gotten anything Fantastic Four-related.<\/span>\u00a0To remedy the lack in LEGO sets of Marvel Comics minifigures, I have used parts from other LEGO sets to create a blueprint that will allow you to make your own comics character customs.<\/span>\u00a0Let’s get to the point.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hawkeye<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Hawkeye\u00a0has been a favorite Marvel character in both the MCU as well as the comics.<\/span>\u00a0Although LEGO has released numerous Hawkeye minifigures over the years (all on the accuracy scale), LEGO <\/span><\/p>\n

has never released a minifig version that is the best Hawkeye rendition. That would be the Hawkeye (2012) run Matt Fraction.\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Fraction’s Hawkeye costume is a mix of a modern outfit (similar in style to that used in\u00a0the Avengers<\/em>) as well as his classic purple.<\/span>\u00a0This Hawkeye version requires\u00a0Hawkeye<\/a>,\u00a0Huntress, and a\u00a0dark brown short hair, with side part.<\/span>\u00a0The Hawkeye’s torso, head and quiver are all from Huntress. Huntress’ purple\/black legs and arms are from Huntress.<\/span>\u00a0A black lightsaber blade, two black nozzles and two black hands can be used to build a brick compound bow. This bow can also be used with the Arrowverse characters that I wrote about a few weeks back.<\/span>\u00a0You could make it\u00a0more<\/em>\u00a0accurate by using the\u00a0dual-molded dark and light nougat arms. Unfortunately, I don\u2019t have that part.<\/span><\/p>\n

Symbiote Spider-Man<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n

In fairness, LEGO did release a Symbiote spider-Man before but it was an exclusive to San Diego Comic Con.<\/span>\u00a0It’s not something that every LEGO Marvel fan could get their hands on.<\/span>\u00a0It is easy to create a Symbiote Spider-Man.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This black-clad, wall-crawler requires only two items.<\/span>\u00a0You will need the\u00a0Venom minifigure\u00a0from Firestar Toys and the\u00a0Symbiote Spider-Man\u00a0Head.<\/span>\u00a0You simply need to take Venom’s head off and replace it by the Firestar part.<\/span>\u00a0It’s super easy!<\/span>\u00a0It’s\u00a0way<\/em>\u00a0cheaper than the rare LEGO version.<\/span><\/p>\n

Black Panther<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Black Panther\u00a0is a minifigure that has been in production since 2016. It also features his MCU debut with\u00a0Captain America, Civil War<\/em>.<\/span>\u00a0LEGO captured King T’Challa’s look in his movies, which is the closest we’ve seen to a comic-accurate look from the 2020 Avengers line. However, I believe this is an interpretation of Square Enix’s\u00a0Avengers<\/em>game.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You will need the 2020 Black Panther , the Black Panther , and the Batman cowl with short ears, open chin to make Marvel comics LEGO Black Panther.<\/span>\u00a0Black Panther is often depicted with a double cape. One that runs down the back and one that surrounds your neck.<\/span>\u00a0I think the Batman cowl, which can be found on most Batman sets since 2015, is more accurate to T\u2019challa’s look that the LEGO sets’ horns.<\/span>\u00a0This is the LEGO Black Panther, a more royal and accurate Marvel comics version.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Thing<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n

As I stated in the opening, we’ve never received a LEGO version Marvel’s first family: The Fantastic Four.<\/span>\u00a0They were in the 2013\u00a0LEGO Marvel Superheroes<\/em>\u00a0but it’s not the same.<\/span>\u00a0With that in mind I tried to bring my favorite member from the Four to LEGO: The Thing.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This rock-skinned juggernaut will require a set of navy arms, a navy leg piece, a black utility strap, and a pair grey hands.<\/span>\u00a0Although it isn’t perfect, I think it’s close to the right way to achieve Thing’s orange hue.<\/span>\u00a0If LEGO ever released The Thing, would it be available in large-fig form?<\/span>\u00a0Nearly 100%.<\/span>\u00a0This will have to do until then.<\/span><\/p>\n

Falcon<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Falcon<\/a>\u00a0is this list’s closest comic-accurate character. However, it was designed to resemble Disney XD\u00a0Avengers Assemble<\/em>, and not the comics.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This custom Falcon minifigure is a combination of the Falcon minifigure-heads mentioned above and the Falcon exclusive minifigure pack from 2020 LEGO Store.<\/span>\u00a0The\u00a0head<\/a>, arms, and torso are from 2014’s Falcon. While the legs, torso, and hair are from the\u00a02020 edition.<\/span>\u00a0A pair of\u00a0yellow hands\u00a0and thin\u00a0red shoulder armour\u00a0are also required.<\/span>\u00a0This Falcon version is fantastic!<\/span><\/p>\n

Doc Sampson<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Doc Sampson is one of the less well-known characters on this list. He’s a supporting cast member in many\u00a0Incredible Hulk\u00a0stories.<\/span>\u00a0This character is not likely to be made by LEGO, it’s obvious.<\/span>\u00a0However, the moment I received\u00a0Jay Garrick\u00a0in the DC CMF series I knew I had to make him.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To make Doc Sampson, you will need only four parts: 2012’s The Joker\u00a0dark-green hair, an angry clone face, Jay Garrick ‘s torso and a pair\u00a0blue legs.<\/span>\u00a0It’s that simple!<\/span><\/p>\n

Iron Fist<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Iron Fist hasn\u2019t had a minifigure in its history since 2013. That one was based on\u00a0Ultimate Spider-Man<\/em>\u00a0and not the comics.<\/span>\u00a0Iron Fist’s white suit is one of the newest creations of Marvel, having appeared in 2010.<\/span>\u00a0You will need the 2013 Iron Fist Head , Sensei Yan’s torso ,\u00a0Titanium Zne’s legsfrom 2016, the yellow\/white dual molded arms of the\u00a0Dog Sitter\u00a0and two yellow\u00a0power surges\u00a0(mine were from 2018’s Ebony maw).<\/span>\u00a0This is a more obscure outfit, but it’s still very cool.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sentry<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n

The last but not the least is Sentry. This character, which Marvel attempted to imitate\u00a0Superman, is a very interesting one.<\/span>\u00a0Sentry was first introduced in 2000. He was prominent in the Mid-2000s Dark Avengers storyline.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To make Sentry, you will need four parts: Thor’s hair, Sinestro\u2019s legs and torso, Sinestro\u2019s torso, and Sinestro\u2019s face. A standard face is fine, but a standard clone face works just as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

That’s it for now.<\/span>\u00a0Let me know if you have any suggestions for comics or other themes.<\/span>\u00a0Until next time, Ciao!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
