Is that nanofig supposed to be the Wasp? If so, where are her wings? ^_^'

The buildable one in 76051 is far better in my opinion.

Ohhhhhhhhh, that face... oof... I don't know how to feel about that...

This set looks decent, but if it's the only Quantumania set it's pretty disappointing for us Marvel fans. No minifigures at all?? Really hope there's a second set we don't know about.

Another solid-looking System-based action figure build! The details on here are well-done, and I like the inclusion of a Wasp nanofig (since there's been one for Ant-Man but not one for her).

Gravatar

They still didn't fix the low shoulder issue. Too bad, it means the other figures releasing this year will probably also look pretty bad.

Gravatar
By in United Kingdom,

A sensible set. Like noted, the shoulders do still seem low, but I imagine that the same basic fix I used on both Spider-Men will apply here too.

Gravatar
By in United States,

Huh, I guess it's technically minifig-scale!

Gravatar
By in United States,

Ant-Man is one of the most logical choices for this, but that face does not look great. Everything else seems fine. That being said, I think it's a big miss if this is the only Quantumania set. I was expecting a thirty dollar set with a couple of minifigs like the past two solo film sets.

Gravatar
By in United States,

In my opinion--you buy LEGO for building--not for decent action figures. Hot Toys (or even Hasbro), they ain't.

However, this is one of the best-looking buildable figures LEGO has done in some time. It begins to actually look like an action figure, not a buildable LEGO figure.

We desperately, desperately need a 'thumbs down' button.

I think the face looks bad, and we definitely needed minifigures for this movie. Come on, LEGO, where's Kang? This is immensely disappointing and if they don't make more sets for Quantamania after the movie's release, we riot.

You can get minifigures for most Marvel characters missing official minifigures on Etsy, no doubt Kang will be the same

I actually don't think this looks bad, I've just never been into LEGO action figures. The set looks fine though.

Gravatar
By in United States,

I really like it! Works good for a giant-man, and the nano wasp is great to get.

Also, for anyone who wanted the traditional Ant-Man set that they've had for the past two movies (3 figs and a build), I remember those warming shelves a lot and being discounted often. I feel this was a smart direction to go.

Why only 4 fingers on one hand?

Gravatar
By in United States,

Good looking design and shaping. The regular bricks work with great and give a more solid look than the technic/constaction figure ball and socket figures. The nano fig for scale is fun.

Gravatar
By in Netherlands,

This actually looks fantastic! Great how they keep improving upon the previous iterations of this 'system', so to speak. I know how difficult it is to make natural looking body shapes let alone have them be covered in different colors and patterns (recreated several characters at different scales such as this) so I'm very impressed with this. Of course there's room for improvements, but that's what MOCing is for!

Four fingers is a very common design when it comes to characters, whether it’s for toys or cartoons. Four is visually acceptable for representing hands while being easier to work with. As an example, look at most Lego mechs. As well as most cartoon characters.

Must we already start complaining about something that we don’t know won’t happen?

As a side note, the level of printing detail that they can do on nanofigs is still impressive to me.

Not a fan of these construction figures and this one doesn't nothing to change my mind, especially as he seems to have a dummy in his mouth.

Lego…. Everyone wants a Kang minifig. Get on that.

Prepare you all for the 4000 pieces $700 Giant-Man that absolutely no one asked in the end of the year.

Anybody else seeing a old-fashioned gas mask when they look at the head of this model? I keep getting Dr. Who 'Empty child' vibes when I look at it...

It's all relative.

Inaccurate title, that's obviously Spider-Man.

I do.

Kidding, I'm simply not too much into constraction figures.
I've got 76039 though, so at least I've got a minifig Ant-Man.

At first I was expecting it to be a $300 giant figure.

Gravatar
By in United Kingdom,

concept wise - yes! but that helmet is AWFUL

Gravatar
By in United States,

First off, that looks very good. Probably the best of that style of build they've done so far.

That being said:
1. I wish it was a 'big minifig', like in 76051, 76075, or 75967. I really like the brick-built "giant minifigure" style of character, and it makes more sense when you have minifig-scale things. Minifig Ant-Man embiggens, and becomes a giant minifig. The current style of brick-built figures is fine for some kind of Lego action figure line, but it doesn't really feel compatible with minifig-scale sets.

2. Don't they usually announce all the sets tied to a movie at one time? Quantumania is out in three days. Is this it? No minifig-scale sets? No minifigs of any version of Ant-Man, Wasp, or, more notably, Kang?!?

In a vacuum, this is a fine set, I guess, but if this is it, I'm not happy about what we apparently aren't getting.

Gravatar
By in Netherlands,

They might roll Quantumania figs into Marvel CMF 2.

Gravatar
By in United States,

...Gross. I hated these when they had the Star Wars ones, this one is just as bad. This can go away.

Gravatar
By in United States,

What piece is used for the fingers? Is it new? Or have I not been keeping up?

Gravatar
By in United States,

Eh. Might get it on discount. It’s kind of cool I guess. The face is what keeps me away. Same with the buildable Spider-Man and miles

That's a fair point. I do remember now the Ant-Man and the Wasp set was on a deeper discount. At least they allude to this being the giant man form.

@swogat
It's a new for this year piece that was introduced with the $15 mechs.

Gravatar
By in United States,

It's possible we get Kang in the CMF series wave 2. Recognizing that the last CMF wave was primarily based around MCU television, figures we could get include:

- Hawkeye (Clint)
- Hawkeye (Kate)
- Echo
- She-Hulk
- Moon Knight
- Mister Knight
- Ms. Marvel
- He Who Remains
- Kang
- Maybe a few more unmade What If...? characters, like Strange Supreme, Bro Thor, Killmonger, Apocalypse Black Widow, and Infinity Ultron.

Gravatar
By in Germany,

Vastly prefer the brickbuilt minifigs over this style. Giant-Man could have been his own set, but this is stupid, would rather get a Hasbro figure for the same price.
A comic style Galactus with the Fantastic Four, the package looking like that cover from the 50s, that would be a perfect set.

Gravatar
By in United Kingdom,

If this is the only set tied to the new film it’s a shame. First MCU film in a long time with no set with minifigs.

Gravatar
By in Australia,

Quantumania, but not any GotG Vol 3?

Gravatar
By in Netherlands,

These figures are not my cup of tea and that's fine, but that mask is absolutely awful. Glad they at least included Wasp nanofig, though.

Gravatar
By in Australia,

Quite disappointing that this is the only Quantumania set we’re getting. Was it too much to ask for a Kang minifigure?

Gravatar
By in United Kingdom,

I am sure a Kang minifigure will come with time.
It may be that we have to wait until Avengers Kang Dynasty, but a minifig is inevitable.
As the captain said, patience.

More disappointed at the lack of a better Wasp figure or Stature (Cassie) as they are less likely.

Gravatar
By in United States,

Once again, the face for these proves to be the worst looking part.

Gravatar
By in Hungary,

Awful.

We are getting GotG 3 sets, but they will release a little later in the year. I think they have 3 sets for the movie.

Gravatar
By in United States,

Yeah, the face shield piece used for these figures does not work here. I expect head build fixes to be made by the community by the time it gets on shelves.

Gravatar
By in United Kingdom,

Very disappointed, wanted new unique minifigs, hope another set for the film is on the way

Gravatar
By in United Kingdom,

The helmet is a no for me and the mouth guard looks so strange.

Gravatar
By in United States,

These are build-able action figures for kids and us BIG kids :)
We all gotta' remember that.
I have the Iron-Man one. It's very cool. The gold and dark red on it look great. The only thing he looks a little pencil-necky. So I just raised the traps one plate height with a couple of spare dark reds I had and voila' he looks so much better. Super simple.

Is there some statement that I’m not aware of? How do we know this?

Gravatar
By in Austria,

I'm not in the slightest bit interested, but this works a lot better than the other figures they've done so far.

Gravatar
By in United States,

As someone that was a big fan of Bionicle as a kid, I wish they'd choose something more interesting for these figures than Marvel and DC superheroes. The Ninjago and Monkie Kid mechs fill that spot for me but I'd still love something that can release more frequently and at a lower price. It's also disappointing if this is the only Quantomainia considering that movie seems like it'll have a lot of visually interesting things going on. It'd also be great to get MODOK and Kang but I'd bet that'll happen with something else down the line eventually. All that said I think this will be the only one of these Marvel figures I'll get because it'll work great as Ant-Man at his giant size.

By in United States,

But will he fit inside the hulkbuster?!

This is true and that Wasp Microfigure is also a highly desirable figure. I adore the one from Civil War but this one has class.

Gravatar
By in United States,

I love Ant-Man, love Lego, love collecting Marvel Lego. I can't wrap my head around the lack of Ant-Man sets. Maybe the Ant-Man movies are too "grounded"? No, that can't be it. The movies are too "serious"? No, that's not it. They tend to be even more goofy than most of the others. Too silly? No, that's not it - heck, even the last Thor movie had 2 sets with minfigures. Even the last Ant-Man movie had only 1 set, and sheesh, it wasn't great. The wasp minifigure was disappointing.

If you want, you can put six fingers on the other hand just to balance things out.

This looks fun. I haven't bought any of the other action-figure sets like this, but it'd be fun to pose this next to minifigures in a group shot. Maybe put this one crouching down trying to fit in the frame.

Most mechs are basically robots, so they can be designed however the engineers wish to be designed. As I understand, this action figure is a representation of Scott Lang in the Ant-man suit, so it is not a mech, but a human being. Humans have 5 fingers.
And cartoons can taken place in a fictional world, where sentient beings can look like humans but they are truly not, like in Simpsons.
So I see my argument for 5 fingers still valid.

Would it have hurt for them to add a normal sized Ant-Man minifigure? That way you could have him shrink and enlarge. Missed a trick there!

Everything Except for that head looks good

I bet somebody will modify the set to make the head look more accurate at some point

The only appealing piece is the Wasp nanofigure whom I would pair with the Ant-Man nanofigure in 76192: Avengers: Endgame Final Battle.

I like the concept of a minifig-scale Giant-Man. But that head looks HORRENDOUS.
