Top 10 Lego Marvel Superhero Minifigures





The Lego Marvel Superheroes theme is without a doubt up there with some of the most poplar themes that Lego is currently producing. This is probably down to the fact that the MCU is one of the biggest franchises going and kids and adults alike go and watch these films and then want to get the sets based around the characters and the films alike.

This top 10 is without a doubt one of the hardest top 10 lists that we have currently done. As a collector of Lego Marvel Superhero figures it was practically difficult to narrow down a list of heroes and villains down to just ten minfigures, but here it goes our top 10 Lego Marvel Superheroes minfigures.




10 - Ant-Man - 76109 Quantum Realm Explorers 




This Ant-Man minfigures is without a doubt the best variant that we currently have for the character. Of course Lego did release an Ant-Man in a time heist suit from Avengers: Endgame with an updated screen accurate sealed helmet but for me its the torso and leg design which makes this the better version of the two minfigures. If you take the torso and legs off this version and combine it with the one from the War Machine Buster then you will truly have a great Ant-Man minfigures, but as this series just focuses on individual minfigures and not custom one, this figure just beats it. Of course the helmet on the Ant-Man is still great with its duel moulded red trans eyes, but unfortunately is based on the concept art and not his screen appearance. 



9 - Spider-Man 2099 - 76114 Spider-Man's Spider Crawler





Spider-Man is one of the most produced minfigures in the Marvel Superhero range alongside Iron Man and already having three different versions of the web slinger in this top 10 was difficult enough but in spot 9 on the top 10 is Spider-Man 2099. This is the only variant of the character that we currently have and it is so different from all the other versions. The red detailing really stands out from the blue base of the minfigures and the small dotted detailing really makes a lot of difference and make it stand out from the rest of the Spider-Man minfigures. 



8 - Stealth Spider-Man - 76128 Molten Man Battle 




Just beating Spider-Man 2099 is Stealth Spider-Man from the latest Spider-Man film Spider-Man: Far From Home. Whilst his onscreen suit is 99% black this minfigures goes for a black and grey combination allowing you to see more detailing on the torso of the minifigure.  I especially like the leg print and the head print as well with the goggles printed on giving off a Spider-Man Noir vibe. This minfigures is so different from the classic traditional Spider-Man minfigures that it truly does deserve a place on the top 10 list.  



7. Captain America - 76101 Outrider Dropship Attack




Captain America is a staple across the MCU films and has multiple variations through the Lego Marvel Superhero theme but the version from Avengers: Infinity War in my opinion is the best version of the character to date, unless of course they release a full chain mail version as seen in Avengers: Endgame (but for the time being this minfigures will do). I particularly love the torso design with the ripped star symbol on the centre of the chest and love the more bleak version of the suit just like in the film. The bearded look also works really well on the minfigure closely resembling his appearance in Avengers: Infinity War. 



6 - Silver Centurion - 5002946




The Silver Centurion armour from Iron Man 3 is without a doubt one of the best Iron Man armours released by Lego and is certainly a highly sort after minfigure from collectors. The minfigure not only contains a nice should pad accessory with a printed arc reactor on the front and printed armour on the back but also a highly detailed torso design with side arm and leg printing which is extremely rare on Lego minfigures in general but is barely seen in the Lego Marvel Superhero line at all. The minfigure also features a bruised Tony Stark head underneath the helmet which is a nice addition to the minfigure. 



5 - War Machine - 5005256 Marvel Superheroes Minfigure Collection Bricktober Pack





The Infinity War version of War Machine only came in an exclusive bricktober pack released in celebration of Avengers: Infinity War. This version of War Machine is without a doubt the most detailed version of the minfigure that we have gotten so far. The minfigure features a highly detailed armoured torso design with red highlights, a brick built should canon and a double sided face print, with one side showing War Machine with his heads up display on as if he was inside the helmet. Having this minfigure only being released in the exclusive bricktober pack makes it extremely rare and a highlight to anyone collection. 




4 - Spider-Man - 76129 Hydro-Man Attack 






At number 4 on the list we have the best version of Spider-Man to date from his appearance in Spider-Man: Homecoming and Spider-Man: Far From Home sets. This figure is based on the MCU suit and features some exceptional detailing not just on the torso but the legs, face print and arm print as well.




3 - Thor - 76088 Thor vs Hulk: Arena Clash




Rounding out the top 3 is Thor, from his appearance in Thor: Ragnarok. Whilst both versions of Thor from the Thor: Ragnarok sets are excellent in my opinion it is this version of the character which truly stands out. Thor features an excellent moulded helmet, a armoured should pad which also acts as a double sword carrier, excellent torso print not jest featuring his armour but also painted with war paint from the Sarkaran gladiator tournament. This is without a doubt the best version of  Thor we have gotten so far. 


2 - Mysterio - 76129 Hydro-Man Battle




Mysterio appears in all three of the Spider-Man: Far From Home sets and with good reason this figure is excellent to look at. The minfigure features some excellent torso and leg printing design featuring gold and dark pink highlights on a dark green suit. The stand out feature has to be the fish bowl style helmet given to the minfigure really capturing his appearance in Spider-Man: Far From Home. This minfigure is honestly one of the stand out minfigures of recent years in my opinion.  



1 - Iron Man Mark 41 - 76125 Iron Man Hall of Armour





And at the number 1 spot on our list is the Iron Man Mark 41 suit. This was a tough decision especially with all the different Iron Man suits we have gotten over the years but in our opinion this is the best suit to date (a separate top 10 Iron Man suits list will follow). The suit features excellent printing all around with gold fine lines on a black torso, the level of detail really makes this suit stand out with the rest of the Iron Man suits. If you look closely enough there is even small dots added to the armour to get it a more metallic finish. This suit features a clear translucent head piece as it is not currently by piloted by Tony Stark but that doesn't take anything away from the minfigure itself.
