LEGO Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse Review

As someone who's been swinging through Spider-Man comics since the 1980s and absolutely lost his mind watching Into the Spider-Verse, it`s the day when characters like Spider-Punk and Sun-Spider would get the LEGO treatment. LEGO has delivered something truly special with their LEGO Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse collectible minifigures series (71050).

After decades of collecting everything from Todd McFarlane's iconic '90s run to the latest Miles Morales comics, we can confidently say this series captures the multiverse brilliance that made Across the Spider-Verse such a masterpiece. These figures represent love letters to characters that span decades of Spider-Man mythology, brought to life with incredible attention to detail.

Whether you're a veteran web-head or a newcomer enchanted by the animated films, this detailed review will help you explore all 12 LEGO Spider-Man minifigures and decide which ones deserve a spot in your collection.

Blind Box Madness Returns

The LEGO Spider-Verse collection hits stores at $4.99 per blind box, featuring 12 characters pulled from Across the Spider-Verse's massive roster. Instead of rehashing Peter Parker variants we've seen before, LEGO went for deep cuts that required completely fresh design approaches.

What immediately struck this series is how LEGO embraced the film's core message – anyone can wear the mask. Rather than delivering another classic Peter Parker (we've had plenty over the years), they went deep into the Spider-Society roster. Characters who had mere seconds of screen time in the movie get full minifigure treatment, complete with unique accessories and printing details we never expected to see in brick form.

The blind box format might frustrate some collectors, but honestly? It adds to the excitement. Something feels beautifully fitting about the mystery – after all, you never know which Spider-Person might swing into your dimension next. Each figure comes with those gorgeous trans-orange stands that immediately elevate any display.

The quality improvements over previous collectible minifigure series are obvious from the moment you open a box. The printing is sharper, the color matching more precise, and the attention to character-specific details shows LEGO really understood the source material.

LEGO Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse Minifigures

Miles Morales 

Miles Morales changed everything when he debuted in Ultimate Spider-Man #1 in 2011, and this figure celebrates his unique powers beautifully. The blue electricity printing across his suit represents his bioelectric venom strike ability, while those light blue hands show he's ready to zap some bad guys.

How does this differ from previous Miles figures? Instead of just another hoodie-wearing Spider-Man, we get Miles in full superhero mode, embracing the powers that make him special. The dual-head setup lets you display him masked or unmasked, perfect for recreating that emotional moment when he finally accepts his destiny.

Spider-Man 2099

Miguel O'Hara has been a favorite since his 1992 debut, and seeing him in the movie (and now LEGO form) felt like vindication for all of us, comic readers who never gave up on the character. The dark blue suit with red accents captures his sleek, futuristic design perfectly, while that hard plastic cape adds serious display presence.

The inclusion of LYLA as a minifigure demonstrates that LEGO really understood the character relationships that drive the story, as someone who collected the original 2099 comic run, seeing Miguel get this level of respect in both the movie and this figure.

Spider-Gwen

Spider-Gwen, as someone who's been following Gwen Stacy since her tragic debut in Amazing Spider-Man #121 back in 1973, seeing her get this level of LEGO treatment brings tears to these old eyes.

What we have here goes far beyond another Spider-Gwen figure – this represents THE Spider-Gwen figure we've been waiting for. The new hairpiece with pink highlights perfectly captures her distinctive style from the movie, while the detailed arm printing and dual-molded turquoise sneakers show LEGO's commitment to accuracy. But the real heart-stopper is that printed photo of her and Miles, a tiny detail that captures the emotional core of their relationship.

This figure is absolutely perfect for LEGO Daily Bugle displays, offering both masked and unmasked options for tons of presentation possibilities.

Peter B. Parker & Mayday

This might be my personal favorite from an emotional standpoint. Seeing the older, dad-bod Peter with baby Mayday in that clever carrier accessory just warms this old fan's heart. It represents hope – the idea that our heroes can grow, change, and find happiness even after all the tragedy they've endured.

The casual wear printing shows Peter in his most human moment, while the alternate Spider-head lets you display him in full hero mode. It's perfect storytelling in minifigure form.

Spider-Man India

Pavitr Prabhakar represents something beautiful – Spider-Man's universal appeal transcending cultural boundaries. His red and blue suit with that distinctive yellow sash captures the character's unique cultural identity while maintaining that classic Spider-Man silhouette we all love. The print quality on his dhoti and the attention to cultural details show LEGO's respect for the character's heritage. Having collected Spider-Man variants for decades, seeing this level of cultural representation feels like a natural evolution of what makes the character special.

Spider-Byte

Margo Kess represents the digital age of Spider-heroes, and her minifigure captures that cyber aesthetic perfectly. The purple and pink suit throughout creates a striking color combination that immediately catches the eye. Semi-transparent arm pieces feature circuitry printing that becomes visible when backlit, creating digital projection effects. The new mask piece designed specifically for Spider-Byte shows LEGO's commitment to accuracy for even the most unique character designs. For collectors who love the technological side of Spider-Man lore, this figure delivers something genuinely special.

Spider-Punk 

Hobie Brown stole every scene he appeared in during Across the Spider-Verse, and this minifigure captures his rebellious spirit perfectly. The leather jacket with its weathered appearance, the spiked details, and especially that guitar accessory – it all screams authentic punk rock aesthetic.

The back printing detail showing "FNSM" (Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man) inside the spider design is the kind of deep-cut reference that makes this old fan's heart sing. 

Spider-Punk represents everything great about the Spider-Verse concept – taking the core Spider-Man ideals and filtering them through completely different cultural lenses.

Sun-Spider

Charlotte Webber's Sun-Spider represents something important – disability representation in superhero media. Her Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is reflected in those crutch accessories, and including her in the box shows LEGO's commitment to the movie's inclusive message. The orange suit with a black jacket creates a striking color combination that stands out beautifully in any display. For collectors who value representation alongside great design, Sun-Spider delivers on both fronts.

Werewolf Spider-Man

This twisted take on Peter Parker uses that familiar wolf head we've seen before, but the tattered Spider-suit printing creates something genuinely creepy and cool. The different dual-molded arms and legs help show the patchy, transformed nature of his outfit. As someone who loves the weirder side of Marvel, this horror-adjacent Spider-variant appeals to collectors who appreciate when LEGO embraces the darker corners of comic book mythology.

Web-Slinger

Patrick O'Hara's Western-themed Spider-Man is probably the most "out there" choice in this collection. The dual-molded boots and that distinctive poncho create a figure that's unmistakably Spider-Man yet completely unique. The yellow shirt partially covered by that material poncho gives him an authentic frontier feel. For collectors who love the bizarre corners of Spider-Man lore, Web-Slinger delivers that perfect blend of familiar and unexpected.

Cyborg Spider-Woman

Petra Parker from Earth-2087 had maybe ten seconds of screen time, but LEGO gave her one of the most detailed figures in the collection. The robotic arm with a Gatling gun attachment, the breathing apparatus, and those chain details across the torso show incredible attention to design.

Many fans wanted a bigfig version given her imposing presence in the movie, and I understand that criticism. But for display purposes, having her in standard minifigure scale works better with the rest of the collection.

Prowler (Miles G. Morales)

The alternate universe Miles, who became Prowler instead of Spider-Man, brings a darker edge to the collection. This variant explores what happens when circumstances push our hero down a different path, and the figure captures that perfectly. The Prowler's distinctive design language differs significantly from traditional Spider-suits, giving collectors something that stands apart from the web-slinger aesthetic. Having followed Miles' journey since 2011, seeing this alternate take reminds us how circumstances shape our heroes – and sometimes create our most complex characters.

Collection Combination Secrets

Here's where decades of collecting experience really pay off. These figures shine when combined with existing Spider-collections. LEGO Daily Bugle integration creates fantastic narrative opportunities with multiple characters sharing scenes that span comic history.

LEGO lights really elevate display quality. LED placement behind Spider-Byte's translucent arms creates amazing digital effects, while strategic lighting can simulate web-slinging motion or power activation.

Creative photography opportunities are endless with this collection. The variety of poses, expressions, and accessories means every shot tells a different story. A blast creating "multiverse meeting" scenes that would make any Spider-fan grin.

Why Is Good Enough Considered Great?

This LEGO Spider-Verse collection earns a solid 8.5/10 for execution, character selection, and manufacturing quality. The improvements in printing and molding show LEGO keeps pushing minifigure production forward.

Character selection balances mainstream recognition with deep-cut appreciation, serving casual collectors and hardcore Spider-fans equally well. Missing characters like Jessica Drew represent obvious gaps, but the included roster provides an excellent collection foundation.

For collectors prioritizing value, focus on Spider-Gwen, Spider-Punk, and Miles Morales first. These characters have the strongest connection to both the movies and broader Spider-Man lore, ensuring long-term appeal.

If you're going the blind box route, invest in a good scanner app – they're not 100% accurate, but they help. Feel for unique accessories like Spider-Punk's guitar or Web-Slinger's poncho to identify figures.

Don't sleep on this series. Spider-Man collections hold value incredibly well, and with the third Spider-Verse movie coming, demand will only increase.
