One week later: LEGO Marvel Spider-Verse minifigures

One week after the LEGO Spider-Verse minifigures swung to shelves, some fans still struggle to find them, while others are infatuated.

The LEGO Group's latest series of blind-boxed minifigures focuses solely on the second Spider-Verse movie with 12 minifigures to collect and display. They appear to be popular, with reports early after they released that fans were struggling to find them on shelves, seeing only empty boxes and stands.

Such reports continue to come in even a week later, including from ThrowRA_Scrimble578 on the LEGO Marvel subreddit. While some fans are still searching for any Spider-Verse minifigures, others have had more luck, using the minifigures in various displays, creative efforts and overall admiring the new Marvel minifigures. Here's a look at how the community is reacting to and using the 12 minifigures in 71050 Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse one week after launch.

LEGO Spider-Verse minifigure displays

Minifigure displays for 71050 Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse have been rife since their launch, with some fans such as ironman2691 on X simply integrating the minifigures into their wider Spider-Man collection, while others have created more specific display models.

Hoverfrog and freddiebricks-mocs have both opted for depiction of the hexagonal multiversal portals from the animated movie, complete with 'Kirby Krackle' effects to replicate the style of the animated movie. Rossco311 has a more grounded display for their Spider-Man minifigures, including the 12 new ones in 71050 Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.

Each attempt showcases the community's creativity, but other fans took the creative uses for the new minifigures one step further, beyond minifigure displays.

Creative uses for the LEGO Spider-Verse minifigures

Much like the creativity on show in the animated movie, the LEGO community has been inspired by the new minifigures to find some creative uses for their pieces. Excelibousbricks' edited a picture of the new Spider-Punk minifigure to match the unique animation style that surrounds the character in the film, which is otherwise missing from the minifigure. It's an impressive edit and showcases the potential of the minifigure in 71050 Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.

Weswakely focused on Werewolf Spider-Man from 71050 Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, realising that the suit is great for a battle-damaged Spider-Man suit, especially for custom Spidersonas with darker skin. They posit in the comments that this version of Spider-Man is Puerto Rican, but the idea will work for many different Spidersonas from around the world.

The LEGO Spider-Verse series' Spidersona star is in the spotlight

Sun-Spider has been in the spotlight following the launch of 71050 Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse for some fans. This includes, to no surprise, the creator of the Spidersona turned official character, Dayn Broder, kindly sharing a link to a feature on the history of this character from Brick Fanatics.

We can only hope that Dayn manages to get a copy of the character's first and likely only minifigure. In the meantime, there are others in the community just as eager for the Sun-Spider minifigure. This includes a pair of fans on Reddit who quickly expanded on the minifigure with her modified wheelchair as seen in the film.

Both PeachAlone1524 and CactusPatch057 shared different designs for the character's transforming wheelchair as seen in the animated sequel, with the latter's design even transforming accordingly. Both are great upgrades to the Sun-Spider minifigure, in case you're looking to expand on this unique depiction of Spider-Man.

71050 Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and its 12 new minifigures are available now for £3.49 / $4.99 / €3.99 per boxed minifigure.
