LEGO Marvel 76256 Ant-Man Construction Figure visual tour and gallery

No need to shrink to take a closer look at the newly-revealed 76256 Ant-Man Construction figure in our visual tour of the new LEGO Marvel model.

Ahead of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, a brand new Marvel buildable figure is on the way, finally giving Ant-Man the giant figure he’s deserved ever since he grew in size in the sequel. Complete with a Wasp microfigure, it could be the best use of the LEGO buildable figure layout yet.

Launching on May 1, 2023, for £29.99 / $29.99 / €34.99, 76256 Ant-Man Construction Figure is the subject of our latest visual tour to show you every inch of this model without the need for Pym particles.

76256 Ant-Man Construction Figure comparison

Based on the suit from the third Ant-Man film, there are a few notable differences between the Ant-Man and the Wasp costume and the Quantumania outfit. These include a cavity in the chest and the introduction of more segmented grey sections on the arms and legs. 76256 Ant-Man construction figure follows the design brief of the third film’s suit with impressive accuracy.

From the lights on the shoulders to ingot elements representing the added grey sections and the crucial chest cavity using a new design on a round tile, the details are on par with the few Ant-Man minifigures.

76256 Ant-Man Construction Figure build

Making use of the newer buildable figure design featuring ball joints, 76256 Ant-Man Construction Figure’s colour scheme blends in with the standard black ball joints without needing to cover them up. Printed pieces appear to include a shield on each of the arms, the chest cavity, the helmet and the Wasp microfigure.

The scale seems to suit the size of Ant-Man well and with one of his abilities being to grow in size, it should fit in just fine in any LEGO Marvel display with an ample amount of detail. A pair of tiles with a stud in the centre on each arm also allows the Wasp microfigure to be seamlessly displayed alongside it. However, these also appear to be able to be covered with an ingot when not in use.

76256 Ant-Man Construction Figure microfigure

The Wasp microfigure is an appreciated bonus in 76256 Ant-Man Construction Figure and fits in better with the scale of the Ant-Man figure than it does to minifigures. Its size means that the press release doesn’t have any explicitly clear images of it but from what we can see, it is rife with details with the printing covering the head, torso and legs.

Streaks of blue stretch throughout the microfigure and the chest cavity denotes it as based on the suit from Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, as it should be given the source material of the set.

76256 Ant-Man Construction Figure helmet

Ant-Man’s helmet is one of the most iconic elements of his outfit and it has remained relatively unchanged, only becoming slightly sleeker in appearance with each upgrade. With a larger breathing apparatus on the front, the LEGO version in 76256 Ant-Man Construction Figure offers the best recreation of this ensemble yet, resembling a miniature member of the LEGO helmet collection.

The shape of the mask element that has been frequently used in every LEGO Marvel buildable figure lends itself well to the shape of Ant-Man’s figure though the printing undoubtedly does a lot of the heavy lifting.

76256 Ant-Man Construction Figure poses

76256 Ant-Man Construction Figure has articulations at the shins, knees, hips, waist, elbow, shoulders, hands and neck. Unfortunately, there are only three fingers and a thumb on each hand, though it’s easy to overlook this mistake as there’s only room for three of the newer element on the appropriate side of each hand.

Those fingers also make use of a newer piece rather than using the less-natural alternative in 76206 Iron Man Figure, 76226 Spider-Man Figure, 76225 Miles Morales Figure and 76230 Venom Figure.

The lifestyle images provided by the LEGO Group aren’t particularly creative with the posing but if any of the other LEGO Marvel figures are anything to go by, it should have enough articulation for a variety of situations.

76256 Ant-Man Construction Figure releases on May 1, 2023, for £29.99 / $29.99 / €34.99, months after Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania arrives in cinemas worldwide on February 17, 2023.
