LEGO Marvel 76313 MARVEL Logo is more than meets the eye and stands out in the January 2025 wave, despite first impressions.
The concept of a brick-built LEGO logo for anything doesn't seem particularly exciting at first, but don't let 76313 MARVEL Logo's boxy design deceive you. This is one of the most involved builds in LEGO Marvel's history and a great line-up of minifigures helps it soar above most other January 2025 models.
76313 MARVEL Logo builds on the concept of a logo lightbox by adding functions that only a LEGO set can and proudly displaying some appealing Marvel minifigures. This brick-built logo is one not to miss and deserves to be the start of a promising new LEGO collection.
Release: January 1, 2025 Price: £89.99 / $99.99 / €99.99 Pieces: 931 Minifigures: 5 LEGO:
A surprise package
76313 MARVEL Logo seems simple at first glance, but has a complicated and involved build that ends with a versatile model ideal for every Marvel enthusiast. Adding a Marvel logo to a collection of memorabilia, figures and other superhero merchandise sufficiently labels and supplements a Marvel display.
While there are similar non-LEGO alternatives to 76313 MARVEL Logo available for much less than £89.99 / $99.99 / €99.99, the LEGO set offers something that no other logo sculpture can. The ability to pop out minifigures from the top and sides presents a unique feature of the LEGO Marvel logo compared to other options. It's a simple but sweet addition that is undoubtedly bolstered by the stellar line-up of minifigures.
For a LEGO Marvel fan, 76313 MARVEL Logo is a worthwhile addition to label your collection or a great standalone display model that you can surprise fellow fans with by popping out the five minifigures. Everything works in tandem effectively and efficiently, though it will look messy when you're building it.
Marvel-ous minifigures
As pleasing as the build is, many will surely be targeting this set for the five minifigures alone – and for good reason. Black Widow is the only non-exclusive minifigure, appearing in
Thor's lightning-decorated outfit is a surprising release this far into LEGO Marvel's life but it's by no means an unappreciated inclusion. Hulk's minifigure is a fun take on the usually massive character (despite the fact he's wearing trousers rather than shorts – dual-moulded legs wouldn't have gone amiss) and Iron Man's Mark 6 outfit is undamaged compared to the damaged version only found in the expensive
The most exciting minifigure in 76313 MARVEL Logo line-up, however, is easily Captain America. This is the first minifigure based on Captain America: The First Avenger and only the second specific reference to the movie in the theme. It's great to see the iconic film finally appear properly in LEGO Marvel and hopefully this is the start of something bigger. In the meantime, this is a good depiction of the outfit, though leg printing would have been the cherry on top.
Super building
The five desirable minifigures cover most of the original Avengers but unfortunately miss Hawkeye – despite the £89.99 / $99.99 / €99.99 price tag. Six minifigures for the six letters on the logo would have been ideal, but there's not quite enough room to fit a mechanism for a sixth minifigure inside the logo. The mechanism that is featured inside is a complex build that works well when building is done.
The structure for the lettering is even more complicated and breaks up the monotony of what would have otherwise been a basic build. Instead, 76313 MARVEL Logo ends up being an engaging model that will keep your attention all the way through and have you coming back for bag after bag until completed.
With this involved build, four out of five exclusive minifigures and a displayable model with a surprise that will delight Marvel fans new and old, this is an unexpected gem of a release in the January 2025 wave. You shouldn't be dissuaded by the price or initially simple appearance. Hopefully, more LEGO logos in this same style are on the way as the concept has proven itself as a major success in terms of design.
Our honest opinion: The new LEGO Marvel logo is much more than meets the eye with its stellar minifigure selection and one of the most involved builds the superhero theme has to offer.
