Theme
Marvel Super Heroes
Year Released
2015. It debuted in set 76036, coinciding with the high popularity of the Disney XD Ultimate Spider-Man animated series during a significant expansion of the LEGO Marvel line.
Rarity
Uncommon. While the set it came in was a relatively affordable entry-level 'battle pack' style set, this specific version has since been retired and replaced by newer designs based on the Spider-Verse movies.
Head
Black with white eyes outlined in a thick red border. This specific print style is unique to the early 'Ultimate' comic/cartoon versions of Miles Morales.
Torso
Black torso with red V-shaped spider-web pattern and a black spider emblem in the center. Blue arms with red hands. It features back printing of the continuation of the red web pattern.
Legs
Solid Blue legs without printing. These represent the character's blue pants/lower suit seen in some early comic variations and the animated series.
Accessories
Typically comes with 'Super Jumper' translucent pieces and white web blast elements (missing in the image). No unique physical handheld tools were exclusive to this figure.
Color Scheme
A striking mix of Black, Red, and Blue. This color palette is specific to the 'Ultimate' animation style, whereas modern comic/movie Miles figures are almost exclusively Black and Red.
Printing Details
Pad printing on the head (front) and torso (front/back). The alignment is generally high quality, typical of mid-2010s LEGO. It lacks arm or leg printing, which was common for figures in this price bracket at the time.
Variants
This is the 2015 version (sh190). Subsequent variants include sh540 (Spider-Verse movie version with dual-molded legs) and sh639 (Marvel's Avengers game version with more intricate web detailing).
Condition Notes
The torso is prone to 'torso cracks' on the sides under the armpits. The black head printing can show fine scratches or 'scuffing' easily due to the gloss finish. The blue legs are standard and easily replaceable if scratched.
Estimated Value
Used: $8 - $12 USD. New: $15 - $20 USD. Its value is relatively stable but overshadowed by the more desirable dual-molded 'Spider-Verse' versions.
Price (New)
Originally available in set 76036 for an MSRP of $12.99 USD, which included two other minifigures, making the per-figure value around $4 at retail.
Compatible Sets
76036 Carnage's Shield Sky Attack (2015). This was the only official set appearance for this specific configuration (sh190).
Character Background
Miles Morales is the first character to take up the mantle of Spider-Man in the Ultimate Marvel Universe after the death of Peter Parker. He gained massive mainstream popularity through the Animated Series and later the 'Spider-Verse' film trilogy.
Design Notes
This version uses blue arms and legs to mimic the shading/lighting often seen in comics where black suits are given blue highlights. This is a design philosophy LEGO has mostly moved away from in favor of more 'screen-accurate' black/dark grey for Miles.
Similar Minifigures
Spider-Man (Peter Parker - sh167), Carnage (sh175), Miles Morales (sh540), Spider-Gwen (sh543).
Collectibility
Moderate. It is a necessary piece for those completing a full Marvel chronology or Spider-Man gallery, but post-2018 collectors usually prefer the more detailed movie-based versions.
History
This was one of the first LEGO representations of Miles Morales, marking a milestone in the diversification of the LEGO Marvel lineup away from the standard MCU and Peter Parker centric sets.
Interesting Facts
Despite Miles' suit being black, this minifigure uses blue legs and arms. This is a nod to 'comic book shading' where blue is used to define black surfaces, a technique also seen in early LEGO Batman figures.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside a regular Peter Parker Spider-Man and a Carnage figure to recreate the 76036 box art. Use clear 'action stands' to pose him in a mid-air web-swinging position.
Modification Potential
Highly modular. Many collectors swap the blue legs for black legs or dual-molded black/red legs from newer versions to create a more modern aesthetic while keeping the original 'Ultimate' head.
Overall Assessment
An iconic early representative of a fan-favorite character. While technically surpassed by newer versions in terms of printing detail (leg/arm prints), its simplicity and unique comic-book coloring make it a standout for 2010s-era collectors.
