All right, let's do this one last time: the LEGO Group has a new series of Spider-Verse Minifigures, and we're leaping through dimensions to review them.
There are plenty of arachnid-themed superheroes and villains that 71050 Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse could have pulled from, as its source material is one of the many (many) recent comic book films to feature parallel dimension shenanigans – and consequently there are some real deep cuts here. The good news is that this series really does shine brightest when it’s giving blink-and-you’ll-miss-it characters a little more attention than their screen time might warrant...

Spider-Man / Miles Morales
LEGO designers approaching a Miles Morales Collectible Minifigure had a difficult challenge on their hands: how to provide something new and fresh for a character that has appeared in minifigure form countless times before? Miles made his minifigure debut in 2015, and from 2021 onwards the LEGO Group has made frequent use of minifigures wearing a hoodie that looks an awful lot like the one worn by Miles in the first Spider-Verse film. With so many existing minifigures that draw inspiration from the Spider-Verse aesthetic, how can a Collectible Minifigure do something different?
The solution is admirable even if it isn’t quite enough for this minifigure to feel like the most interesting of the lot. This particular Miles is portrayed mid-way through using his venom strike (also called ‘the zappy thing’ by his mentor Peter B. Parker). This power is a significant plot point in Across the Spider-Verse, so the unique electricity printing and blue hands do go some way to making this minifigure stand out from previous Miles minifigures.
The included hair piece (the same as appears in
The same can’t be said for the spider included in the box, which feels a little like an afterthought compared to the accessories that come with other minifigures in this series. But then a spider probably needed to show up here somewhere...
Spider-Punk / Hobie Brown
If the Miles Morales minifigure feels a little perfunctory, Spider-Punk’s minifigure absolutely lives up to its high potential. This character, also known as Hobie Brown, was the breakout star of Across the Spider-Verse when the film debuted, so much so that it’s recently been announced that there will eventually be a Spider-Punk spin-off film.
This minifigure looks and feels like the graphic designers who worked on it had an absolute blast converting Hobie’s eclectic punk outfit into minifigure form. Every available space is covered in printing – arms, legs (both front and side) and of course, Spider-Punk’s beautiful electric guitar. It calls to mind the kind of printing that was seen in the punk rock offerings for VIDIYO a few years ago, and the fact that this minifigure also comes with dual-moulded legs makes it clear that Spider-Punk got special treatment within this Minifigures series.
To cap things off (literally), this minifigure comes with two heads and two different hair options – as with Miles there's a masked and an unmasked head option, but unlike Miles, Spider-Punk has both a brand new hair mould (a brilliant mess of locks) and a metal mohawk piece for him to wear atop his mask.
Prowler / Miles G. Morales
71050 Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is a treasure trove for anyone looking to add some additional afro hair elements to their collection. Prowler comes with some wonderful braids that are an eye-catching new element. Unlike several of the Spider-folk in this series, Prowler doesn’t have a second head in the box – instead, he has a custom mask element that fits snugly over the top of his head (once his hair is removed).
This mask is one of the coolest unique elements in the series, and while it’s unlikely to show up in any other scenarios outside the LEGO Marvel theme in future, it does have some potential as a space helmet should any non-Spidey fans wish to incorporate it into their Space scenes.
The rest of the minifigure is well designed throughout – there’s dual moulding for the arms as well as printing, which is nice, and the legs are printed on the front and sides. Prowler has a unique cloth collar but no cape (the printing on the back is far too display-worthy to cover up anyway) and the minifigure uses a pair of Thanos gloves to create Prowler’s claws – this is far more effective than the element’s use to give Ben Grimm aka The Ever-Lovin’ Blue-Eyed Thing his clobbering fists in 76316 Fantastic Four vs. Galactus Construction Figure.
This much would have been enough, but the minifigure also comes with a vinyl record, which does make the Miles Morales minifigure feel all the more lacking by comparison.
Spider-Gwen / Gwen Stacy
Spider-Man may have a threadbare new gimmick in this series, but at least there’s something to differentiate him from his previous minifigures. Spider-Gwen has no such luck; this minifigure (especially masked) looks practically identical to every other Spider-Gwen minifigure from the past, only with minor upgrades.
The biggest change with this minifigure’s masked presentation is the inclusion of dual-moulded legs that also feature side printing, as well as printing on the arms. Take off the mask and hood (there’s an extra head in this box for maskless Gwen) and she can instead sport a brand new hair piece which has pink at the end, matching her on-screen appearance.
This is nice, and the minifigure is definitely a step up from previous Ghost Spiders in minifigure form, but anyone who has a passing interest in Spider-Man’s extended family and who already owns a Spider-Gwen might not feel that they need to double dip here.
Gwen’s included accessory, a photo of her with Miles, is a little more interesting than a generic black spider, but it’s also not the most interesting accessory in this series. It’s also not got the same relevance that Prowler’s vinyl or Spider-Punk’s guitar have. Presumably a trans flag would have been a bit much here, even if it’s something that fans have noted Gwen actually owns in Across the Spider-Verse.
Spider-Man 2099 / Miguel O'Hara
Here is a minifigure that is both very enjoyable in its own right, and not quite able to capture its source material due to a familiar limitation with many comic book movie superheroes in LEGO form. Of course Spider-Man 2099 (aka Miguel O’Hara) shouldn’t be a bigfig, but as with character size differences such as Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker, it doesn’t feel entirely appropriate that Miguel is the same height as Miles when by all rights he should tower over the smaller hero.
Leave this minor complaint (minifigures gonna mini) to one side, and this is actually one of the more interesting of the offerings in this series. The Spider-Man 2099 costume is lovingly crafted here with a halftone dot design that not only reflects the film and its comic book-inspired aesthetic, but also looks downright beautiful when printed.
It’s a very clean look, far removed from Spider-Punk’s messier graphics, but it’s one of the more visually pleasing minifigures in the series to have in-hand. These differing art styles are one thing that make the Spider-Verse films such perfect fodder for Collectible Minifigures.
There’s a maskless head plus hair in the box in addition to the Spider-Man 2099 mask, and the included vampire face is very much appreciated, but Miguel’s accessory is far more interesting: a tiny minifigure statuette element in trans-orange with heart eyes. This is LYLA, Miguel’s AI assistant, and she’s one of the best accessories in the series.
Spider-Man India / Pavitr Prabhakar
Not every minifigure in this series warrants the level of detail that Spider-Man 2099 or Spider-Punk have been given. Spider-Man India, aka Pavitr Prabhakar, has a far simpler costume without any of the webbing that’s customary on most Spider-Man costumes, and as such, it’s no bad thing that this minifigure has a far less complicated design.
This isn’t to say that the minifigure is sparse: there’s printing on the arms and legs, plus a neat hair element fitting of Pavitr’s naturally beautiful locks. The only real disappointment with this minifigure is that instead of coming with a yoyo or diabolo, his weapon of choice in the movie, he comes with a teacup, ready for a drink of chai (not chai tea – chai means tea!).
The good news is that this particular minifigure goes a long way to redeeming itself with the second included accessory – a Spider-Cat. This doesn’t look much like the Spider-Cat from the movie, but hey, it’s a LEGO cat wearing a Spider-Man mask, what’s not to love?
Cyborg Spider-Woman / Petra Parker
Another minifigure from this series that struggles to convey the heft that their on-screen counterpart displays, Cyborg Spider-Woman feels a bit small to be a riff on the hulking, enormous character that appears for a few seconds of Across the Spider-Verse’s runtime.
The fact that Cyborg Spider-Woman is on screen for such a short time does help make her regularly-proportioned minifigure feel a little less underwhelming in terms of size, and it’s clear that a disproportionate amount of effort went into making this one of the stand-out minifigures in the series.
There’s a mask piece and spiked shoulder pad in the box (all one element), a Batman utility belt and a robot arm complete with cannon. It’d be nice to have an accessory beyond these elements, especially considering that this minifigure doesn’t get an extra head, but in terms of the pieces included in this minifigure, this is a stand-out hit.
The printing is also exceptional here. It really feels that a huge amount of effort went into creating a minifigure based on one of the least memorable characters from Across the Spider-Verse, and the impact of this design would probably be a bit greater if a Cyborg Spider-Man hadn’t already appeared in the Explore The Spider-Verse book this year, but even so, for a forgettable character, Cyborg Spider-Woman is one of the more visually interesting minifigures in this series.
Sun-Spider / Charlotte Webber
Considering that Sun-Spider probably has even less time on screen than Cyborg Spider-Woman (although she does at least get a line of spoken dialogue) and given that her outfit is far less reminiscent of a Rob Liefeld comic book character, it should be easy to overlook this particular minifigure.
It should be, but it isn’t. Surprisingly, in spite of her simple costume and low profile, Sun-Spider is one of the more visually striking and eye-catching minifigures in this series. There is something very powerful about this particular shade of orange combined with this much black.
View a line-up of these minifigures and Sun-Spider cannot help but draw the eye – so while she might not be everybody’s first choice, she looks so much better in person than you might first think.
There’s no second head in this box, although there is a backwards baseball cap (due to its angle it can only be placed backwards, or else it’ll obscure the minifigure’s face). More interesting are the included crutches, because the character Sun-Spider has Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS). Anyone searching for a quick and easy way to add more representation of disabilities to their LEGO cityscape need look no further.
Spider-Byte / Margo Kess
Margo Kess, aka Spider-Byte, provides the fourth and final afro hairpiece for this series of Collectible Minifigures. It’s a hairpiece that has been used many times before, but this colour – dark blue – is a welcome variant, especially given how freely available the element will now become.
With blue skin, a custom mask and a nifty trans-purple datapad, elements included with this minifigure will, much like the Prowler mask, lend themselves to a variety of sci-fi uses. Most exciting of all, though, are the minifigure’s appendages. Spider-Byte has trans-purple arms and legs, complete with printing, and it’s hard to deny that these look incredible.
This is a fantastic way to make the minifigure feel particularly special, and it’s only a shame that the LEGO Group doesn’t give fans more minifigures with translucent parts.
Spider-Man & May 'Mayday' Parker / Peter B. Parker
Eagle-eyed Spider-fans will notice that for all the many minifigures that are included in 71050 Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, there isn’t a traditional Peter Parker Spider-Man.
In fairness, at this point LEGO fans have been blessed with over 20 years of vanilla Peter Parker Spider-Men, so this series didn’t really need one, but it’s fun that the closest thing to a traditional Peter is still so far removed from that design that at first glance, casual LEGO collectors might not even notice that this is a Spider-Man minifigure at all.
Rocking a frilly pink nightgown with printed dual-moulded legs but no additional mask, this is likely to be a bit of a Marmite minifigure – tired dad webheads will gravitate towards this one, while anyone without kids might wonder what the fuss is about.
To be clear: the fuss is about Mayday. Just look at her with her adorable little printed mask! This is her first time as a minifigure, don’tcha know? Someone take a picture, she’s just too precious.
Web-Slinger / Patrick O'Hara
Nitpicking time: Web-Slinger is not completely accurate. The character as he appears in Across the Spider-Verse covers his face with a cowboy bandana that’s adorned with the typical Spider-Man mask design. This minifigure comes with a regular Spider-Man head and a plain red bandana to wear on top.
This is a minor complaint, and given that it makes this minifigure more useful for Western LEGO fans who don’t care for Spider-Man, this could end up making Web-Slinger disproportionately popular (this is another minifigure based on a character with almost zero screen time).
Simply swap out the head element and bang! This isn’t a Spider-Man variant anymore and can fit nicely into your LEGO saloon. Or, keep the mask on, because why shouldn’t there be a wallcrawler in your LEGO cowboy collection?
The included poncho is neat, the dual-moulded legs are great, but the included Spider-Horse, much like Spider-Cat with the Spider-Man India minifigure, really makes this a difficult package to pass up.
Werewolf Spider-Man
Rounding out this series is another minifigure that is hardly going to be the most well-remembered character from Across the Spider-Verse, but nevertheless is a great piece of design from the LEGO Group. The werewolf head, printed with a tattered Spider-Man mask, is fun, while the Spider-Man costume, complete with rips and tears as well as a few tufts of hair, is very charming.
Did Werewolf Spider-Man need to be in this line-up? Not necessarily. Is this a fun inclusion nonetheless? Absolutely. Don’t be surprised if more of this minifigure are left on store shelves than some of the others in this collection, but if you’ve already got Miles and Gwen from previous sets, this might be a more interesting new addition to your LEGO minifigure collection.
Our honest opinion: The most enjoyable 71050 Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse minifigures are the ones that embrace the weirdest and most outrageous corners of the Spider-Man fandom, and while these will be primarily interesting to fans of the source material, there are a few hidden gems that will entertain everyone else too.
