Rarity
Uncommon. While part of a current retail line, this specific figure is exclusive to a single larger set relative to the 4+ age group marketing.
Head
Standard red and black Miles Morales Spider-Man mask with large white eyes. In the image, it is equipped with a Trans-Clear Astronaut Helmet (part 19304) which is an intended accessory for the space sub-line.
Torso
Red torso with black and gold spider printing. Features a gold 'spider' emblem centered on a black V-shaped graphic. Red arms with black hands.
Legs
Red short legs (non-posyable version common in 4+ sets). Generally lacks detailed printing on the lower half to maintain simplicity for the target audience.
Accessories
Trans-Clear space helmet. In its original set, it also includes a buildable space rover or web-based tech accessories.
Color Scheme
Primary Red with black and bright gold accents. Clear plastic for the specialized helmet accessory.
Printing Details
Pad-printed torso with sharp contrast. The gold ink is high-quality and vibrant. Printing is limited to the front of the torso and the head; no leg or arm printing is present.
Variants
Standard Miles Morales (black suit), Miles Morales with hooded sweatshirt, and the 2024 Miles 'Electro' variant. This is the only version currently featuring the red-primary space suit design.
Condition Notes
Short legs are prone to loose clutch on the hip pins over time. Clear helmets scratch easily, showing 'milkiness' if played with on rough surfaces. The torso print is durable.
Estimated Value
Used: $4.00 - $6.00 USD; New (taken from set): $7.00 - $9.00 USD. Value is tied more to the character popularity than the rarity of the parts.
Price (New)
$34.99 (Retail price of the full set 10791 Spidey Team's Mobile Headquarters).

Character Background
Based on the Disney Junior 'Spidey and His Amazing Friends' animated series version of Miles Morales, who uses his 'Spin' moniker and high-tech gadgets to fight crime with Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy.
Design Notes
A departure from the iconic black suit, this red-dominant suit is specifically designed for the 'Space' themed episode arc. It utilizes the modern spherical helmet mold which allows for easier removal by younger children.
Similar Minifigures
sh772 Miles Morales (Spidey and His Amazing Friends standard), sh921 Miles Morales (Electro-Mech suit), sh190 Miles Morales (Classic Comic version).
Collectibility
Moderate. High appeal for completionists of the Spider-Verse or Spidey and His Amazing Friends sub-theme, but less desirable for adult collectors than the comic-accurate or movie-accurate (Spider-Verse film) versions.
History
Part of the third wave of the Spidey and His Amazing Friends product line, which introduced more varied environmental themes like space travel and dino-safari to the 4+ Marvel category.
Interesting Facts
Despite Miles Morales historically wearing black and red, this LEGO figure flips the ratio to be red-dominant to visually distinguish him from Peter Parker while in space gear.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the Team Spidey Mobile HQ or on a space-themed baseplate with other 'Space' variants like Spider-Gwen or Peter Parker's space gear.
Modification Potential
The head is a standard Miles head and can be swapped onto any black/red torso to create a more classic look. The helmet is highly useful for custom 'Classic Space' MOCs in modern colors.
Overall Assessment
A solid, vibrant figure for young fans. While it lacks the 'collector prestige' of highly detailed Star Wars or Marvel Movie figures, it is a sturdy and essential variant for fans of the animated series.
