LEGO Marvel mini bust collection debuts Iron Man MK4 and Iron Spider sets for $60 each

LEGO renditions of famous movie scenes, especially from the Marvel and Disney universe have impressed collectors worldwide. The ones that impressed us are in plenty, and the list is endless. Add to that, the new LEGO Marvel sets that mark your favorite superheroes in a mini bust version. The two sets on the smaller side, having a height of around 6.5 inches each, are perfect for display on your work desk or shelf, making them an alluring collector’s item.

Modeled after Spider-Man and Iron Man, the LEGO sets are the first officially licensed ones to be referred by the LEGO Group as the ‘Bust’ sets. In 2022 a Black Panther set of the bust section was released – much bigger than these two – however, it was not mentioned as a Bust set, anywhere. The Star Wars sets also have a similar appearance, but they have always been mentioned as ‘Helmet’ sets.

Compared to some other intricate sets by the group, the Iron Man consists of 436 pieces, while the Iron Spider-Man Bust is only 379 pieces in total. That means you’ll build them up in virtually no time. Both these sets will cost $60, which is a luring price many will fall for. Out of the two, the Iron Man bust set is available for pre-order right away with shipping in June, while the LEGO Iron Spider-Man bust will be available on August 1. The Spider-Man set has received positive response from the passionate community, while the Iron Man bust has received mixed reviews purely because of its seemingly half-hearted appearance.

Iron Man MK4 mini bust

This bust is based on the MK4 armor suit worn by the superhero in the Iron Man 2 and Iron Man 3 movies. It comes with dual adjustable airbrake flaps on the back, a rotating head, and two retractable shoulder missile launchers. The set comes with a printed nameplate and a mini minifigure that’s a cute addition. Coming back to the dislike among the collectors, well, they are pointing out that the helmet hasn’t been emulated properly, while the eye placement also seems a bit eerie. Some have even labelled it as the worst LEGO design of all time!

Iron Spider bust set

The LEGO Group decided to go for the more flamboyant Iron Spider suit rendition for the second bust set in the collection. The suit in Avengers: Infinity War gives even more superpowers to the flying superhero, and as a bust LEGO model, makes more sense than just going for the simple Spider-Man replica. This one is a little smaller than the Iron Man version, but more liked of the two collectibles. The set comes with two movable mechanical arms, and nanotechnology to take on Thanos. Like the Iron Man set, this one also gets a Spidey minifigure that can be fitted on any other Spider-Man movie scene-themed set.
