Honestly, if you told me five years ago that we’d have a LEGO horse with a Spider-Mask, I’d have laughed. But here we are. The hype around across the spider verse minifigures isn’t just about another Marvel wave. It’s about the fact that LEGO finally leaned into the chaos.
They had to.
The movie's art style is a vibrating, messy masterpiece, and a standard yellow-head approach would’ve been a total flop. Fans demanded the grit of Spider-Punk and the sleek, terrifying silhouette of Miguel O'Hara. LEGO delivered, but the way they did it—especially with the 2025 Collectible Minifigure (CMF) Series 71050—changed the game for collectors.
The 71050 CMF Series: A Breakdown of the Madness
The LEGO 71050 series is basically a "who's who" of Earth-928 and beyond. Released in late 2025, this 12-character set moved away from the boring, safe designs of the past.
Spider-Punk (Hobie Brown) is the undisputed king here. He’s not just a minifig; he’s a spike-headed, guitar-shredding middle finger to the establishment. LEGO went all out with his custom hair element—a molded piece that captures his dreadlocks perfectly—and a vest that actually looks like it was stitched together from scrap.

Then there’s Spider-Man 2099. If you’ve been tracking prices, you know the original 2019 version (sh0539) from the Sandman set was hitting nearly $60 on the secondary market. The new version in the Spider-Verse series is arguably better. It includes a transparent red plastic cape and a dual-sided head featuring Miguel's fangs. It’s a relief for anyone who didn’t want to trade a kidney for a tiny piece of plastic.
Here is what the lineup actually looks like:
- Miles Morales: Features blue electrical "Venom" sparks on the torso.
- Spider-Gwen: Finally got dual-molded legs to represent her signature teal ballet shoes.
- Web-Slinger: Includes a literal horse (Widow) wearing a spider-mask.
- Spider-Man India (Pavitr Prabhakar): Comes with a Spider-Cat and a very specific "Chai Tea" cup.
- Cyborg Spider-Woman: A massive, bulky figure that uses a unique armor piece.
Why Some Fans Prefer Customs Over Official Sets
It’s weird, right? You’d think official LEGO would always be the gold standard.
But the "Purist" community is vocal. Some collectors feel LEGO "cheaped out" on certain details. For example, the official Miles Morales often lacks the red "spray paint" texture on the sides of the legs. This is where companies like Firestar Toys or Jaka Brick come in.

Custom across the spider verse minifigures often feature 360-degree printing. That means print on the inside of the legs, the arms, and even the top of the toes. While a LEGO CMF box costs about $5, a high-end custom can run you $30 to $50. Is it worth it?
If you’re a photographer? Yes. The detail is insane.
If you’re just building a shelf display? Stick to the official ones. The plastic quality of real LEGO is still way more consistent than the resin used in many customs.
The Rarity Factor: What’s Actually Worth Money?
Don't let the "Limited Edition" tags on eBay fool you. Most of these are mass-produced. However, a few specific figures from the 2026 sets are starting to climb.
The Miles Morales Mech vs. Spider-Man 2099 set (76342) is a weird one. It’s a budget set, usually around $15, but it’s the easiest way to get Miguel without gambling on blind boxes. In the long run, the "blind box" versions of rare characters like Spider-Byte or Sun-Spider usually hold more value because they are harder to "feel" through the cardboard packaging.

LEGO shifted to cardboard boxes to be eco-friendly, but it killed the "bag feeling" meta. Now, you’re basically flying blind unless you use a weight scale or a QR code scanner app.
How to Spot a Fake in the Wild
The market is flooded with knock-offs. You'll see them on sites like AliExpress or at flea markets for $2 a pop.
- The Neck Check: Real LEGO always has the "LEGO" logo stamped on the neck stud.
- The Shine: Knock-offs are often way too shiny or "greasy" feeling.
- The Clutch: If the arms pop off when you breathe on them, it’s fake.
Getting the Most Out of Your Collection
If you're serious about collecting across the spider verse minifigures, stop buying single blind boxes. It's a trap. You’ll end up with six copies of the Werewolf Spider-Man and zero Hobie Browns.
Buy the 6-pack bundles or go to a verified BrickLink seller where you can pick exactly who you want. It might cost a few dollars more upfront, but it saves you the headache of duplicates.
Also, keep those transparent orange baseplates. The 71050 series introduced these specific "glitch" colored stands. They’re unique to the Spider-Verse line and will likely be a sought-after part for MOC (My Own Creation) builders in a few years.
Start by checking your local Target or LEGO store for the 2026 Spider-Man vs. Mysterio set. It’s the current "big" set that includes both Miles and Gwen in their updated movie-accurate outfits.
