LEGO’s Record-Breaking New Marvel Set Finally Makes Kevin Feige A Mini-Figure

Marvel’s LEGO fans can finally get their hands on an exclusive MCU mini-figure thanks to the toy giant’s biggest ever Marvel set. 60 years after the Avengers debuted in Marvel Comics, and just as the Marvel movie timeline gears up for two new Avengers movies, LEGO have unveiled an incredible new set that should be an essential purchase. The new LEGO Marvel Avengers Tower set will release on November 24, 2023 just in time for Christmas.

As well as breaking the fiction/non-fiction character divide, the new LEGO Avengers Tower set (76269) also breaks two big records for LEGO. Firstly, it’s the tallest LEGO brick-built skyscraper ever made at more than 35.5 in. (90 cm) tall, thanks to 5,201 pieces. It also has the most mini-figures ever included in a single LEGO set, at a huge 31 figures. But it’s the most surprising of those mini-figures that arguably holds the most meaning…

Kevin Feige Finally Becomes An MCU Character Thanks To LEGO

Obviously, She-Hulk met a version of Kevin Feige as the robot AI overlord of the MCU in 2022, appealing to him to change She-Hulk’s ending. That was more of a meta-joke at Feige’s expense – which the super producer was surprisingly game for – but the new LEGO Avengers Tower set goes one further: celebrating him as a fan. Alongside 30 other mini-figures, the tiny Feige is wearing an Avengers cap and comes with a slice of pizza and a coffee.

LEGO’s official designer video for the new Avengers Tower set gives Feige the in-universe character name of “Kevin the Avengers fan”. It’s a great little nod to Feige’s fandom, and the Marvel-informed philosophy that he developed working on X-Men as a production assistant for producer Lauren Shuler Donner. As producer Ralph Winter recalled in 2020, even then, Feige was keen to ensure fans weren’t alienated by changes made to Marvel lore for movie adaptations:

There was pushback to being faithful to the comic. Kevin Feige [Donner’s production assistant on the film] was right there in the midst of all of that. He didn’t have as big of a voice back then, but he was careful and faithful about the characters and reminding us, ‘Hey, you can do that, but here’s where the character came from. Here’s where their powers started. So keep that in mind as you go do that.’

3 years later, the gatekeeper of Marvel movie lore and one of the MCU’s founding fathers finally gets his chance to shine as a character alongside the Avengers.
