LEGO Marvel Miles Morales (76225) Review

August 28, 2022 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

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

The NASA Artemis I launch will be happening on August 29 and NASA along with LEGO Education is celebrating the event by sending a couple of minifigures into space. Two minifigures from LEGO Education SPIKE Prime will be sent onboard the shuttle on this historic journey.

The minifigures aren’t the first ones that LEGO has sent to space as three of them were on the Juno expedition in 2011 and reached Jupiter in 2016. These new minifigures have some LEGO Education space suits for their voyage. There is a new STEAM learning series that LEGO Education has set up called Build to Launch if you want to check it out.
