Year Released
2023 - Released in June as part of the Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse film wave
Rarity
Common to Uncommon - Currently available in a single mid-range retail set, though demand is high due to character popularity
Head
Solid white head with a single large, asymmetrical black ink-blot 'portal' printed on the front center; no dual-sided printing or hair
Torso
White torso with black ink-blot patterns of varying sizes; includes subtle muscle definition lines to match the character's lanky aesthetic; white arms with additional spot printing on the outer sides
Legs
Standard white legs and hips with black spot printing on the front of the hips and the right leg; left leg remains mostly white in this version
Accessories
None included with the figure itself; in the set, he is often paired with a portal piece (a 4x4 round dish with black printing)
Color Scheme
Monochromatic; high-contrast stark white with black ink-blot printing; no metallic or special finishes used
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head, torso front, arms, and leg fronts; the alignment of the 'spots' is designed to look random and organic
Variants
None – this is currently the only official LEGO version of the character from the Spider-Verse films
Condition Notes
White plastic is highly susceptible to discoloration/yellowing from UV light; the black printing may show scratches easily against the white background; check for 'arm cracks' which are common in recent torso molds
Estimated Value
Used: $5.00 - $8.00; New: $10.00 - $12.00; values are generally stable while the set is still in production
Price (New)
Included in set 76226 for $24.99 USD, representing approximately 25% of the total set value considering the other figures

Character Background
Dr. Jonathan Ohnn, a former Alchemax scientist who became a 'villain of the week' after a portal accident, eventually evolving into a Multiversal threat in the movie Across the Spider-Verse
Design Notes
The figure successfully captures the hand-drawn, sketchy ink aesthetic of the film using standard LEGO printing techniques; it lacks the 'void' transparency effect some fans hoped for
Similar Minifigures
Polka-Dot Man (sh757) from The Suicide Squad, or various white-suited characters like Moon Knight (sh820)
Collectibility
High; as the primary antagonist of a critically acclaimed film trilogy, he is a must-have for Spider-Verse collectors
History
First-ever LEGO appearance of The Spot in 2023; reflects the modern era of highly detailed arm printing and cinematic cross-promotion
Interesting Facts
Despite his importance in the movie, this figure was only released in one relatively small set rather than a larger 'Spider-Society' flagship set
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a translucent flight stand to mimic his hovering, or surrounded by black 2x2 and 4x4 round plates to represent his portals
Modification Potential
Great candidate for customizers to add more spots on the back or legs; the torso can be repurposed for abstract artistic MOCs
Overall Assessment
9/10 for accuracy to source material; a unique monochromatic addition to the Marvel line that stands out due to its minimalist but effective design
