Marvel Super Heroes
Year Released
2018; debuted in Set 76104 The Hulkbuster Smash-Up during the initial Infinity War product wave.
Rarity
Uncommon. While only appearing in one retail set, that set was a mid-range price point ($29.99), making the figure relatively accessible during its production run from 2018-2019.
Head
Light Aqua head printing with white face markings and black/white eyes. Features a unique metallic gold headpiece mold (hair/headgear) with detailed black and grey printed patterns representing her crown.
Torso
Light Bluish Gray torso with detailed mechanical/armor printing in gold, dark brown, and purple. The back features matching armor plating detail. Arms are Light Bluish Gray with purple hands representing her gloves.
Legs
Light Bluish Gray legs with silver, black, and dark bluish gray armor printing on the front. Matching the high-detail aesthetic of the Infinity War wave.
Accessories
Originally packaged with a brick-built spear/staff consisting of a black lightsaber hilt, a technician tool / light sword blade, and a trans-neon green power blast element. (Note: These are missing from the provided image).
Color Scheme
A complex palette of Light Bluish Gray, Metallic Gold, Purple, and Light Aqua, accurately reflecting her cinematic appearance in the MCU.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing including a 360-degree headgear print, detailed torso (front/back), and front leg printing. The alignment of the gold armor on the torso is generally consistent across production.
Variants
This is the only official LEGO version of Proxima Midnight produced to date. There are no official variants, though many bootleg/knockoff versions exist with inferior plastic quality and slightly altered face prints.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include the gold printing on the headpiece rubbing off and stress marks on the purple hands. The Light Bluish Gray plastic is resistant to yellowing but susceptible to bite marks on the feet.

Current market value: New (with accessories) $12-$18; Used Complete $8-$12; Character only (no accessories, as pictured) $6-$9.
Price (New)
Only available in set 76104 ‘The Hulkbuster Smash-Up’ which retailed for $29.99 USD in 2018. This set contained 4 minifigures.

Character Background
A member of the Black Order and a 'daughter' of Thanos. She is a formidable warrior who leads the Siege of Wakanda alongside Cull Obsidian. She first appeared in Marvel Comics in 'New Avengers' #8 (2013).
Design Notes
The molded gold 'hair' piece is the standout design choice, perfectly capturing her unique silhouette. The use of purple hands is a subtle but effective way to represent her gauntlets without custom arm molds.
Similar Minifigures
Other members of the Black Order: Corvus Glaive (sh510), Ebony Maw (sh508), and Cull Obsidian (sh507). Also shares aesthetic traits with Hela (sh409).
Collectibility
High for Marvel completionists. As the only version of a primary MCU villain from the highest-grossing film era, she remains a staple for 'Infinity Saga' displays.
History
Released during the peak of LEGO Marvel’s 'Infinity War' hype. Her design reflects the shift toward more screen-accurate, complex printing that characterized LEGO's 2018-2020 superhero lines.
Interesting Facts
The headpiece mold is exclusive to this character. Despite being Corvus Glaive's wife in the comics, they were never included in a set together; fans had to buy two different sets (76103 and 76104) to reunite them.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a dark grey or black baseplate alongside the Rest of the Black Order and a large-scale Thanos figure. Using a trans-clear bar to pose her Mid-jump with her spear enhances her 'warrior' aesthetic.
Modification Potential
The head and headpiece are popular for MOC (My Own Creation) fantasy villains. The legs and torso are frequently used by customizers to create generic sci-fi or 'Destiny' game-inspired knights.
Overall Assessment
A 4/5 rated figure. Excellent mold work on the head and cohesive printing across the body. The loss of her spear (as seen in the photo) slightly reduces value, but she remains one of the more visually striking Marvel villains.
