Summary

LEGO and Marvel have unveiled The Marvel Skyline, an 18+ microscale model that compresses dozens of landmarks from the comics, films and series into a single cityscape

Hero headquarters like the Baxter Building and the X-Men Mansion share the skyline with villain hubs including Oscorp Industries and Roxxon Corporation

A Galactus minifigure, Spider-Man and Human Torch trophy figures, and a fleet of miniature vehicles round out the set

LEGO is shrinking the Marvel Universe down to shelf size with The Marvel Skyline, a 1,261-piece microscale set aimed at adult builders and collectors. The display gathers headquarters, labs and corporate towers from across Marvel’s comics, films and series into one continuous city block, splitting its real estate between the heroes and the villains who oppose them.

The skyline’s heroic side stacks up some of Marvel’s most recognizable addresses, with Avengers Tower, the Daily Bugle, the Baxter Building and the X-Men Mansion all rendered in miniature. Deeper-cut locations make the cut too, including the Wakandan Embassy, Rand Enterprises Building and Pym Laboratories, giving longtime readers plenty of landmarks to spot beyond the usual blockbuster sites.

Across town, the villains get their own cluster of buildings. Hammer Industries, Roxxon Corporation, Oscorp Industries and Fisk Tower anchor the darker end of the skyline, setting up a visual standoff between the two halves of the city as the build comes together.

Figures add scale and character to the architecture. A Galactus minifigure looms over the scene, while Spider-Man and Human Torch appear as trophy figures that slot into the display. At street level, the X-Jet, the Fantastic Four Rocket Ship and the Spider-Mobile join other vehicles placed around the roads, turning a static cityscape into something closer to a frozen action shot. The finished model stands over 8 inches (21 cm) tall, stretches 15.5 inches (40 cm) wide and runs 4.5 inches (11 cm) deep, sizing it for a desk, shelf or office display.

LEGO’s The Marvel Skyline is available for pre-order now via LEGO, with shipping set to begin January 1, 2027.
