Lego has announced the first entry in its new Marvel Collector's Edition series, featuring a detailed Iron Man Mark 3 display model. The 1,297-piece set releases on January 1, 2026, and is available for preorder now at $130. This adult-oriented build celebrates the iconic suit from the 2008 Iron Man film.
Overview
Lego revealed its initial lineup of Marvel building sets for 2026, launching six models on January 1. Leading the batch is the Iron Man Mark 3 Collector's Edition, a premium display figure marking the debut of a new series aimed at adult builders. Priced at $130, it offers a realistic take on Tony Stark's armor from the Marvel Cinematic Universe's first Iron Man movie.
Key Details
The set contains 1,297 pieces and stands over 15 inches tall when assembled on its buildable display stand, measuring up to 8 inches wide and 4 inches deep depending on the pose. It includes multiple articulation points at the neck, shoulders, waist, wrists, and hands for dynamic display options. Builders finish the model by connecting the Arc Reactor, and it comes with a name plate for the stand plus an Iron Man minifigure in Mark 3 armor, featuring a removable helmet with retractable visor and a new Tony Stark head design.
The figure supports the Lego Builder app's Build Together feature, allowing up to four people to collaborate remotely. Lego positions this as the start of its Collector's Edition line for Marvel, similar to premium series in Harry Potter and Star Wars.
Additional Sets
Alongside the Iron Man model, four Spider-Man-themed sets are planned, including Spider-Man vs. Mysterio: The Daily Bugle (781 pieces, $100, preorder available). The remaining sets—Hulkbuster vs. The Hulk, Spider-Man vs. Sandman, Spider-Man vs. Venomized Wolverine, and Spider-Man vs. Ghost Rider—launch on the same date but are not yet available for preorder.
This release follows recent Marvel busts like the Iron Man MK4, highlighting Lego's focus on detailed, lore-inspired Marvel builds.
