LEGO Iron Spider Man & Miles Morales Minifigures Confirmed!

Posted on by

It’s hard for me to believe, but it’s almost been an entire year since I was in New York City for the the New York Toy Fair 2014! But while there’s less than a month until I head back to NYC for this year’s event, the fun has already started overseas! The London Toy Fair 2015 took place this week, and the news is rolling in–including confirmation that the long-demanded LEGO Iron Spider Man and Ultimate Spider-Man Miles Morales minifigures are coming in LEGO Marvel sets this summer!

The LEGO Marvel Summer 2015 sets list is a bit smaller than usual, as there will only be three new sets for the summer this year: two LEGO Spider-Man sets and one LEGO Ant-Man set. First up is the 76036 Carnage’s SHIELD Sky Attack set! I talked extensively about my feelings about a LEGO Carnage minifigure when the name of this set leaked last month, but at the London Toy Fair 2015 the other minifigures in this set were finally confirmed.

LEGO 76036 will include three total figures: Carnage, a SHIELD Agent–and the first-ever LEGO Miles Morales minifigure! Following the death of Peter Parker in the Marvel Ultimate Universe, middle-schooler Miles Morales became the all-new Spider-Man!

Although the introduction of Miles Morales Spider-Man was received with mixed reactions and controversy, Miles has become a fan-favorite character with appearances in the 616 Marvel comics and even the Ultimate Spider-Man Web Warriors cartoon. And now, Miles will have hit iconic status by obtaining his very own LEGO minifigure!

906429 - The Amazing Spider-Man 2The other 2015 LEGO Marvel Ultimate Spider-Man set is the 76037 LEGO Rhino and Sandman Supervillain Team. As I reported last month, an actual LEGO Rhino minifigure is included with the set in addition to a large brick-built LEGO Rhino mech (a la Amazing Spider-Man 2). But the biggest news in this set isn’t the LEGO Sandman or Rhino figures–it’s the Spider-Man figures!

Seeing as how there’s a classic Spidey in this set as well, the LEGO Iron Spider-Man figure must be the Amadeus Cho version of the character. If so, this marks the first Amadeus Cho figure ever produced by any company!

Photography isn’t allowed at the 2015 London Toy Fair, but I’m fairly certain I’ll be able to post tons of photos to the Bricks and Bloks Facebook Page from the 2015 New York Toy Fair next month, so be sure to ‘Like’ Bricks and Bloks on Facebook if you want news and images beamed right to your Facebook Newsfeed.

Now that some of the details have been confirmed for this summer’s LEGO Marvel Ultimate Spider-Man sets, what do you think, LEGO fans? Will you be picking up either (or both!) of these sets?

LEGO Iron Spider Man & Miles Morales Minifigures Confirmed! — 5 Comments

  1. Hmm, guess there’s something to love and hate in both sets. On the love front—new versions of Spider-Man! Definitely looking forward to both Miles and the Iron Spider, and hoping that the regular Spidey in the second set is also a new print, since we’ve seen so many of the existing version the past couple of years.

    That said, I’m not that excited about Carnage—nice to have a new villain, but Carnage is a bit too ’90s for my taste. Would much rather see some other characters from Spidey’s rogues gallery—Kraven, Black Cat, a comic version of Green Goblin, Hobgoblin, the Lizard, the Vulture, Mysterio, Kingpin, etc.—than Carnage. My immediate feeling on the other set is “yay, Sandman and Rhino!”, but I don’t like the idea of a brick-built mecha-Rhino. I thought the design in ASM 2 was terrible, and am not really looking forward to it in brick form (in my mind, a brick-built Sandman a-la Groot makes more sense, as he changes shape). Of course, the mecha-Rhino decision may have been the means to meet the “not just action figures” requirement of the license, so I guess it’s better than the Spider-trike we had with Electro… And at least there’s a regular Rhino minifigure, though he’s one of the characters that I thought would benefit from the big fig treatment (like the DeCool bootleg).

    • This is just a shot in the dark but I think they may be saving the villains you named for a few more years before the Sinister Six movie. Now I don’t know if TLG actually owns any rights to Sony but thats my best guess.

  2. Rhino, eh? Think they’ll reuse a Chima head for that? (Of course not, that would be too obvious, and Lego thinks nothing of creating one-off heads for licensed characters.)

  4. I wish Rino was a big fig:P im not much of a comic reader guy, but i had no idea there was a asian & black spider man:P
