The cinematic multiverse has expanded, and with it, the imaginative world of Lego. Fans of the critically acclaimed film Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse can now look forward to a highly anticipated new collection of Lego minifigures, bringing 12 distinct characters directly from the animated spectacle into tangible, brick-built form. This release underscores Lego`s enduring commitment to capturing the essence of popular culture through meticulously designed, collectible figures.
A Dozen Dimensions of Detail
Scheduled for release on September 1, this new series comprises a full baker`s dozen of unique personalities from the vast Spider-Verse. As with previous collectible minifigure lines, these figures will be available in individual mystery bags, priced at an accessible $6 per unit. For those seeking a slightly less randomized approach, 6-packs will also be offered for $30, though the thrill (or mild frustration) of discovering duplicates remains an inherent part of the collecting experience. Securing the complete set of all 12 unique characters will undoubtedly test the resolve—and perhaps the luck—of dedicated collectors.
Beyond the Usual Suspects: Highlighting Notable Additions
What truly distinguishes this collection is its embrace of the film`s eclectic roster of Spider-people, extending far beyond the mainstream iterations. Lego has meticulously replicated the unique visual styles and characteristics that define these fan favorites, often complete with bespoke accessories:
- Peter B. Parker: The seasoned, somewhat weary Spider-Man, notably accompanied by a mini-minifigure of his daughter, Mayday, cradled in a baby carrier. This detail exemplifies the thoughtful design inherent in the collection.
- Web-Slinger (Patrick O`Hara): A cowboy variant of Spider-Man, complete with an actual horse figure. This unexpected inclusion highlights the creative freedom exercised in adapting these characters.
- Spider-Punk (Hobart Brown): The rebellious, guitar-wielding hero, his minifigure accurately reflecting his distinctive aesthetic and equipped with his signature electric guitar.
- Pavitr Prabhakar (Spider-Man India): Accompanied by a charming cat figure, reminiscent of the beloved Bodega Cat from other Marvel media.
- Werewolf Spider-Man: A testament to the sheer ingenuity and absurdity celebrated within the Spider-Verse, his inclusion demonstrates Lego`s willingness to delve into the more eccentric corners of the narrative.
- Other notable figures include Miles Morales, Prowler (Miles G. Morales), Gwen Stacy (Ghost Spider), Sun-Spider, Spider-Byte, Cyborg Spider-Woman, and Miguel O`Hara (as Web-Slinger in his distinct form).
Each of the 12 minifigures is provided with a dedicated display stand, ensuring that once acquired, these miniature heroes can be showcased appropriately, along with their accompanying accessories.
The Art of Acquisition and Display
The allure of collectible minifigure series lies in the blend of anticipation and discovery. While the mystery bag format adds an element of chance, it also fosters a unique sense of community as collectors share their finds and strategize to complete their sets. Lego`s consistent quality in sculpting, printing, and accessory design ensures that each figure is a miniature work of art, deserving of its place on any enthusiast`s shelf.
This Spider-Verse collection is not merely a set of toys; it represents a physical embodiment of the vibrant and expansive world that captivated audiences. It is an opportunity for fans to hold a piece of that multiverse in their hands, meticulously crafted to spark joy and encourage further imaginative play or dedicated display.
For collectors and casual fans alike, the upcoming release of the Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Lego minifigure collection marks a significant event. It is a testament to the enduring appeal of both the Spider-Verse narrative and Lego`s unparalleled ability to translate complex characters into universally appealing, collectible forms. The noble quest to collect all twelve distinctive figures begins on September 1, promising a delightful challenge for enthusiasts worldwide.
