How to improve the LEGO Morbius 2023 minifigure

LEGO Marvel’s new Morbius minifigure isn’t even on shelves yet, but there’s already a quick and easy way to improve this eagerly-awaited character.

Arriving on January 1, 2023 in 76244 Miles Morales vs. Morbius, the latest addition to the Marvel roster combines inspiration from both comics and films, and is undoubtedly only arriving in minifigure form thanks to 2022’s much-memed movie. It’s a pretty decent first attempt all told, with a fun face print, fitting hairpiece and vibrant torso printing.

That doesn’t mean it’s perfect, though: presumably thanks to its £19.99 / $24.99 / €24.99 price point, neither of 76244 Miles Morales vs. Morbius’s minifigures features dual-moulded arms or legs. That’s disappointing for Miles, because the black and red dual-moulded legs don’t yet exist (so you can’t fix it yourself), but the situation is a little better for our old pal Morbius: the pieces we need to transform him into a better minifigure are already in the wild.

Instagram users wink.customs and luck_a_to have together mocked up an image of what the new Morbius minifigure would look like with the arms and legs from 71021 Series 18’s Cat Costume Girl, and the results are instantly leagues ahead of the official minifigure’s all-black limbs. The torn sleeves and trousers mirror the living vampire’s comic book outfit, giving him an all-round more detailed and authentic appearance that it’s now really hard to unsee.

The Cat Costume Girl is pretty cheap on BrickLink right now, but there’s always the chance she could increase in value as more Marvel collectors cotton on to her potential. If you don’t yet own the Series 18 minifigure, you’d do well to grab one soon – come January, it’s Morbin’ time.

76244 Miles Morales vs. Morbius launches January 1, 2023, alongside six other LEGO Marvel sets. Here’s a round-up of all seven revealed so far.

I like to think of myself as a journalist first, LEGO fan second, but we all know that’s not really the case. Journalism does run through my veins, though, like some kind of weird literary blood – the sort that will no doubt one day lead to a stress-induced heart malfunction. It’s like smoking, only worse. Thankfully, I get to write about LEGO until then.
