Character Background
A member of the Black Order and a child of Thanos, Proxima Midnight is a high-ranking general known for her combat skills in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Design Notes
LEGO opted for a printed headpiece rather than a unique molded helmet to maintain the sleek alien profile of the character.
Similar Minifigures
Corvus Glaive (sh510), Ebony Maw (sh508), and Cull Obsidian (sh509) are her Black Order teammates.
Collectibility
High for Marvel completionists. As she is a one-off figure from a popular movie, her value is expected to remain stable or rise slightly over time.
History
Debut in early 2018 as part of the first wave of Infinity War merchandise. No redesigns have been made despite subsequent Thanos-related sets.
Interesting Facts
Despite her importance in the film, she was omitted from the larger 'Sanctum Sanctorum' and 'Thanos: Ultimate Battle' sets to drive sales toward the Hulkbuster set.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed alongside other Black Order members or facing off against Captain America and Black Widow to recreate the Battle of Wakanda.
Modification Potential
The head is often used by MOC builders for generic robotic or high-fantasy armored characters. Purple hands can be swapped for dark gray for a more muted look.
Overall Assessment
An excellent 8/10 figure for its detailed printing and historical significance in the MCU lineup. A must-have for Avengers collectors.
