Figure ID
sh543
Theme
Marvel Super Heroes
Year Released
2019 - Debuted in the LEGO Spider-Man Mech (76115) alongside Venom and Spider-Man.
Rarity
Uncommon. While not a limited convention exclusive, this specific 'hood-up' version appeared in only two major retail sets before being replaced by newer molded-hood or hair-piece variants.
Head
White head with pink-rimmed large white eyes for the masked look. This version features the eyes printed on the head, intended to be seen through/coordinated with the white hood element.
Torso
White torso with black spider-suit patterns, featuring pink and teal 'web' accents under the arms. Back printing continues the clean white and black suit aesthetic. White arms and white hands.
Legs
Plain black legs without printing. The simplicity of the legs is a common point of critique for this specific version compared to later dual-molded or printed versions.
Accessories
Includes a specialized white hood piece (part 30381) and frequently comes with translucent-white 'power blast' or web elements in retail sets.
Color Scheme
Primary white and black with iconic neon pink and teal/cyan accents, staying true to the character's 'Into the Spider-Verse' and comic book color palette.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front and back) and head. The teal and pink accents are vibrant, though the lack of leg and arm printing makes it less detailed than premium MCU-style figures.
Variants
Several exist, including sh744 (different hood mold), sh612 (non-masked with hair piece), and sh874 (short legs/Spidey and His Amazing Friends). This sh543 is the classic first-wave comic/movie style.
Condition Notes
The white hood and torso are very susceptible to yellowing if exposed to UV light. Check for 'neck cracks' on the white torso and ensure the hood hasn't been bent out of shape. The white hands can also show dirt easily.
Estimated Value
Used: $8 - $12 USD; New: $15 - $20 USD. Value is stable but faces competition from newer, more detailed versions of the character.
Price (New)
Originally available in set 76115 ($49.99) and set 76147 ($19.99). The cost-per-figure was approximately $5-7 at retail.
Compatible Sets
76115 Spider Mech vs. Venom (2019), 76147 Vulture's Truck Robbery (2020).
Character Background
Gwen Stacy from Earth-65, where she was bitten by the radioactive spider instead of Peter Parker. Widely popularized by the 'Spider-Verse' film trilogy and her alias Ghost-Spider.
Design Notes
This figure uses the established 'Ninja Hood' mold in white to simulate Gwen's hoodie, a clever reuse of parts that predates the more character-specific Ghost-Spider hoods seen in 2022+.
Similar Minifigures
Spider-Man (sh536), Miles Morales (sh539), Spider-Ham (sh631), and SP//dr.
Collectibility
High for Spider-Man fans. As the first 'standard' LEGO Spider-Gwen, it remains a staple for people building a 'Spider-Army' collection.
History
Spider-Gwen's introduction to LEGO in 2019 marked a shift towards including more diverse Spider-family characters following the 2018 success of 'Into the Spider-Verse'.
Interesting Facts
Despite her 'Ghost-Spider' name in marketing, fans almost exclusively refer to her as Spider-Gwen. The pink and teal interiors of her suit are meant to mimic the CMYK printing style of comic books.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a translucent 'action bar' to simulate her swinging or jumping. Looks excellent next to the sh539 Miles Morales from the same era.
Modification Potential
Commonly modified by collectors using the dual-molded black and teal legs from newer Spider-Man figures to give her a more 'complete' look.
Overall Assessment
A solid, essential figure for Marvel collectors. While slightly aged by the lack of leg printing, the torso design is iconic and the overall aesthetic is instantly recognizable.
