Ms. Marvel Swings into Action in New LEGO Playset

Kamala Khan makes her first LEGO minifig appearance, joining the previously announced She-Hulk in upcoming sets we’re excited about.

Amazon Japan released photos of LEGO Group’s newest Marvel Superheroes playset, #76076: Captain America Jet Pursuit — which is set for release early next year. The set allows you to play as Cap, duking it out with B-list villain the “Super-Adaptoid” while piloting a jet. While all of that seems perfectly nice, the real excitement is the other hero that’s included in the box: Kamala Khan, a.k.a. Ms. Marvel.

To replicate her stretchy shapeshifting powers, LEGO has given her a set of elongated poseable arms connected to massive fists that are unique to Kamala.

It’s also the first time Super Adaptoid has been a minifig. Probably. I mean. honestly who cares? We have Kamala Khan here!

With the addition of Kamala, this set actually manages to one-up the previous coolest announced upcoming set, Hulk vs. Red Hulk, which qs unveiled at San Diego ComicCon this year. It features the first ever minifigs of She-Hulk, Red Hulk and Red She-Hulk. As well as some giant dune-buggy things that I assume the Hulks will throw at one another while yelling, “Hulk Smash!”
