Figure ID

Theme
Marvel Super Heroes
Year Released
2023; released in the preschool-focused wave following the 'Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse' hype but aimed at the Disney Junior audience.
Rarity
Uncommon; exclusive to a single 4+ Juniors set. While not rare due to production volume, its limited set appearance makes it harder to find individually.
Head
White head with printed large pink-rimmed eyes/mask. Covered by a trans-clear astronaut bubble helmet; it utilizes the standard rounded head mold with no hair piece included in this configuration.
Torso
White torso with white arms and white hands. Front print features a dark purple center, a gold/yellow spider emblem, and pink/magenta tech accents. It lacks back printing due to the 4+ target age group simplicity.
Legs
Dark Purple short legs (non-poseable). These are the standard short leg mold used for child-sized characters or 4+ line inhabitants.
Accessories
Includes a Trans-Clear Minifigure Helmet (Bubble/Space Hood). In its original set, it often comes with a buildable space vehicle or web elements, though only the helmet is shown.
Color Scheme
Primary White with Dark Purple, Magenta/Pink accents, and a Gold/Yellow spider logo. The colors are vibrant to match the Disney Junior show aesthetic.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso front and face. Minimalist design typical of the '4+' line; lacks arm, side-leg, or back-torso printing to reduce manufacturing costs for entry-level sets.
Variants
This is the 'Space Suit' variant. Other Ghost-Spider (Gwen Stacy) variants include sh622 (Mechanical Legs), sh743 (Standard), and sh867 (Junior Standard).
Condition Notes
Watch for scratches on the trans-clear bubble helmet which easily shows scuffs. The white plastic on the torso and arms is prone to yellowing if exposed to UV light/sunlight.
Estimated Value
New: $5.00 - $8.00 USD; Used: $3.00 - $5.00 USD. The value remains low as the set it comes in is still relatively recent and affordable.
Price (New)
Included in Set 10790 'Team Spidey at Green Goblin's Lighthouse' which retailed for $34.99 USD. The per-figure value in retail context is approximately $4.00.

Character Background
Gwen Stacy as Ghost-Spider in the Marvel 'Spidey and His Amazing Friends' animated series. This version is a space-themed reimagining for a specific episode arc.
Design Notes
Uses the simplified 4+ design language. Noteworthy for the use of the classic bubble helmet which provides a retro-future aesthetic to a modern superhero character.
Similar Minifigures
sh834 (Spidey Space Suit), sh835 (Spin Space Suit), sh743 (Ghost-Spider Junior).
Collectibility
Moderate for completists of the Spider-Man/Spider-Verse characters. Lower demand than 'Across the Spider-Verse' movie-accurate figures but popular with younger collectors.
History
Represents the diversification of the LEGO Marvel line into younger demographics (4+), marking a shift toward more specialized character variants for sub-audiences.
Interesting Facts
Despite being a 'Space' figure, the suit maintains Gwen's iconic pink and purple color palette rather than a traditional NASA white/orange look.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside other 4+ Spidey Team members in their space suits. Looks best under bright, neutral LED lighting to make the white and purple pop.
Modification Potential
The head and helmet are great for custom Space MOCs. Can be upgraded with tall poseable purple legs (sh622 style) for a more adult proportion.
Overall Assessment
A charming, simplified variant of a fan-favorite character. Great for younger fans or Spider-Verse completists, but lacks the detail sought by high-end Marvel collectors.
