Predicting which LEGO Spider-Verse minifigures will be hard to find

There are always one or two characters that are hard to find in each series of LEGO Minifigures, so here are the ones we reckon will be most popular in 71050 Across the Spider-Verse.

While there’s not necessarily any single minifigure in September’s 71050 Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse that will prove as tough to come by as the Dragonborn Paladin or Wolfpack Beastmaster of recent series, some of the more desirable characters in the series are likely to be snapped up sooner than others – which could make them tougher to come across in the wild.

If you want to know which ones to seek out first from September 1, here are our predictions for which will be hard to find – and which will be left behind (comparatively speaking, as there are no genuinely bad choices for Spider-Man fans across this line-up). Don’t forget to use Brick Search to find yours next month.

Miles Morales

As the main character of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Miles Morales’ general popularity and wider recognition should outweigh the fact that we’ve seen plenty of versions of this minifigure before from LEGO Marvel. This is the most detailed one yet, too, and thanks to his printed legs and unique torso element is much improved on the version in 76311 Miles Morales vs. the Spot.

If there’s one minifigure even casual fans will want to pick up from 71050, it’s Miles, so he might be trickier than others to find – at least initially.

Gwen Stacy

Another leading character in Across the Spider-Verse, Gwen Stacy (or Spider-Gwen) could be just as tough to find as Miles in September, not least because her minifigure here offers an even bigger upgrade over the version in 76311 Miles Morales vs. the Spot. Her dual-moulded legs and two-tone hairpiece can easily find use beyond the Spider-Verse, too…

Spider-Man 2099

There’s a good chance the most desirable minifigure – and therefore the hardest to find – in 71050 Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse will be Miguel O’Hara, or Spider-Man 2099. As the main antagonist of the movie he has a pretty prominent role, while his unique cape and trans-orange nanofig representing Lyla are both neat accessories – but it’s the aftermarket value and rarity of the original LEGO Spider-Man 2099 minifigure that suggests this is generally a pretty desirable character all round.

Spider-Punk

A breakout character of Across the Spider-Verse, Spider-Punk (or Hobie Brown) is easily one of the coolest minifigures in 71050, and should find his way into plenty of collections on the strength of his incredibly intricate printing (and all-round star power) alone. His unique hairpiece and guitar accessory are enough to seal the deal and ensure this one will be harder to come by than others in September.

Prowler

Alternate-dimension Prowler Miles G. Morales only shows up at the end of Across the Spider-Verse, and will presumably have a much bigger role in 2027’s Beyond the Spider-Verse, so he won’t necessarily be the first to fly off shelves in September on brand recognition alone. He’s a solid pick if you have the foresight to anticipate LEGO Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse sets in two years, though – chances are a version included in a regular model won’t be as detailed as this one.

Cyborg Spider-Woman

We’re getting into more obscure territory here, as Cyborg Spider-Woman was only glimpsed fleetingly in Across the Spider-Verse. But she’s clearly made the cut here for the concept of a cyborg Spider-person alone, and there’s no denying she makes for a pretty cool minifigure, complete with her robot arm, shoulder and neck accessories and utility belt. Tough to say which way this one will go, in all honesty…

Sun-Spider

Of all the minifigures in 71050 Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, it’s unfortunate that Sun-Spider will likely be among those left behind on shelves (compared to the rest), because there's a great story behind this particular character’s inclusion. Charlotte Webber (as she’s also known) was designed by comic book writer Dayn Broder in 2018 as part of a wider ‘Spidersona’ social media trend, which saw fans pitch their own Spider-heroes online.

Sun-Spider uses retractable crutches that shoot webs, and was envisioned by Dayn as ‘a disabled hero that I could see myself in’. She first featured in a Spider-Verse comic before making her on-screen debut in Across the Spider-Verse, and is a unique choice for a LEGO minifigure – but her absolute obscurity among the dozen here, without the obvious cool factor of a cyborg or werewolf, means she probably won’t be the most popular character of the lot. Still, you never know…

Spider-Man India

Another stand-out character from Across the Spider-Verse, Spider-Man India (or Pavitr Prabhakar) should be pretty popular simply by virtue of his unique hairpiece and fun costume, but there’s a good chance he’ll also be snapped up by superhero fans angling for his Spider-Cat accessory. He probably won’t be as hard to find as Spider-Man 2099 or Miles Morales, but he’s sure to be high up the list for many of us.

Peter B. Parker

One of the characters that benefits most from this being an Across the Spider-Verse series rather than a general Spider-Verse or specifically Into the Spider-Verse series is Peter B. Parker, because here we get him in his fluffy pink dressing gown rather than his regular Spider-Man costume from the first movie. Chuck in Mayday Parker in a baby carrier and you’ve got one of the most unique minifigures in the entire series.

All that said, Peter B. Parker will likely resonate most (as he did in the movie) with tired dads of newborns, so anyone looking for cool superhero minifigures to populate their LEGO cities will probably be turning elsewhere first. Fingers crossed that makes him a bit easier to come by for us tired dads.

Spider-Byte

Another of 71050 Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’s more obscure characters, Spider-Byte at least benefits from an eye-catching design thanks to her translucent arms and legs, while her funky blue hair will also find uses beyond superhero setups. Given she’s a relatively unknown quantity overall, though, this one’s not likely to be top of the list for many.

Web-Slinger

While Web-Slinger is roughly as recognisable as Spider-Byte or Sun-Spider, he’ll probably be a little more popular than either of those characters thanks to his lasso, hat and poncho accessories and general cowboy theme, which – like Cyborg Spider-Woman – offers a much easier concept to grasp for casual fans. Spider-Horse is a neat bonus, too.

Werewolf Spider-Man

Sun-Spider may be the biggest surprise in 71050, but Werewolf Spider-Man is a close second when it comes to unexpected Spider-minifigures. The LEGO Minifigures team loves an anthropomorphic animal, though, and old wolfy here is pretty unique as things go. Yet he’s probably also the most novelty character in the mix, which is going to limit his appeal – especially with no cool accessories in the box.

71050 Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse will be available to buy from September 1, and is already turning up on shelves in some locations.
