Klinger Builds Legos

The LEGO Spider-Man Mask (#76285) and the Miles Morales Mask (#76329) are a fantastic pair of display sets that showcase just how well LEGO can capture the essence of a character with relatively simple design. I purchased both of these recently, I bought Miles Morales first because like the Shadow the Hedgehog Bust I thought it looked badass, then when I saw that the Spider-Man mask was retiring soon I purchased that one too. Since the Spidey set was scheduled to retire soon I decided to go ahead and put that one together first so I can get a review out before it actually retired. I was not disappointed and in fact I liked it so much I decided to just go ahead and do the Miles Morales Mask next.

Before putting them together I hadn’t taken that close a look at the two of them to compare them to each other, but because I had put them together on consecutive days and the Spidey build was still quite fresh in my mind when I started the Miles Morales Mask I instantly knew the two builds were nearly identical in structure, which makes sense—they share the same design template—but what sets them apart are the colors. The classic Spider-Man mask, with its bright red webbed surface and bold white eyes, is instantly recognizable, while the Miles Morales version trades red for sleek black with red accents, giving it a more modern, edgy feel. I think that’s what initially drew me to the Miles Morales build, the dark bold lines with the flash of red.

One of the highlights of both sets is the eyes. LEGO’s designers managed to make them the focal point of each mask, and they pop beautifully against their respective backgrounds. On Spider-Man, they look crisp and classic, while on Miles, they seem almost more intense thanks to the darker tones surrounding them. Together, the two masks tell a visual story of two heroes who share the same mantle but carry different styles and personalities. Of the two builds I prefer the Miles Morales Mask, but it’s very close. Similar to the Shadow The Hedgehog bust there’s just something in the way the black and red pop that just makes it stand out!

As for the builds themselves, they’re pretty easy to assemble and don’t demand too much time. The instructions are clear, the construction techniques are clever without being overwhelming, and the process is enjoyable for both new and seasoned LEGO fans. Yes there are some stickers, but the big important pieces in the front come printed and don’t require stickers. These are projects you can knock out in a sitting, but they leave you with display pieces that feel far more substantial than the effort required to build them.

Where these sets truly shine is in how well they pair with LEGO’s broader Marvel helmet and artifact collection. Placed side by side, Spider-Man and Miles Morales look incredible together, but they also blend seamlessly with other fan favorites like the Star-Lord Helmet (#76251), the Infinity Gauntlet (#76191), the Nano Gauntlet (#76223), Wolverine’s Adamantium Claws, and even the older Iron Man Helmet (#76165). Together, they create a Marvel display that feels like a curated gallery of iconic heroes.

It’s worth noting that LEGO has announced that the Spider-Man Mask (#76285) is retiring soon, making it especially important for collectors to grab before it disappears. While the Miles Morales Mask remains available for now, it’s safe to assume it won’t last forever either.

Overall, both sets are must-haves for Marvel fans. Individually, they’re stylish and instantly recognizable. Together, they’re a dynamic duo that celebrates two of Marvel’s most beloved web-slingers in perfect LEGO form.
