In my other review of the new LEGO Marvel figures for 2022, we take a look at Spider-Man (76226). This one is 258 pieces and also is priced at $24.99 like with the other figures in the wave.

The first few steps of the build is pretty much the exact same as Miles Morales (76225) for torso area. One you get to the arms, there are subtle difference between the two. All the joints have either ball joints or click joints to give him a wide range of motion. You can easily get him in a lot of action poses but the main issue here is at the thighs. Like Miles Morales, the movement on the legs forward is limited and this also limits some of the crouching poses.

Spider-Man does have a few more printed piece for his detailing which includes the head, chest, waist, and legs. I do like how the spider logo on the chest is made up of a printed hood and shield pieces.

For his accessories, Spider-Man does have some web pieces which are the same as Miles but they are plain white.

Like I said with Miles Morales, the LEGO Marvel Spider-Man (76226) isn’t for everyone. Kids will have fun posing him around but his legs do limit what he can do. He also has the head piece that makes him look weird in certain angles.

Thank you to LEGO for sending in this set for me to review. The content above represents my own opinion and not the … Continue

Releasing in September are some new LEGO Marvel figures and the first one I’ll be checking out is Miles Morales (76225). It has 238 pieces and retails for $24.99.

One thing LEGO has done really well with these figures is the range of poseability. Most of all the areas have ball joints or swivel joints. The legs use click joints to keep the figure standing upright while having a decent range of motion. This also hinders the legs moving forward so you can’t really get all the range that you should like any crouching motion.

The shoulder pads are able to lift up unlike Iron Man so the arms can be raised higher. The fingers also have some movement so you can get that web shooting finger style. Coming with the set are some translucent blue web accessories.

There are some nice printed pieces for the chest and the head but unfortunately, there is no printing on the back and it looks rather depressing from that angle. The headpiece uses the same one for all the characters so it has an odd shape.

Overall, the LEGO Marvel Miles Morales (76225) is a decent figure but there are those little things that take away from the model like the legs and the non-printed back. The initial impressions of the set when it was first revealed were mixed and I have a feeling that it’ll be like that again when people get their hands on it. Character figures aren’t fan favorites and it won’t be for everyone.… Continue
