The 2026 LEGO Marvel Advent Calendar, set 76340, is priced at 62.99 CAD for 317 pieces and rated for ages 6 and up, the largest piece count of any 2026 theme. Six confirmed minifigures anchor the set: Spider-Man, Iron Man, Dr. Doom, Ghost Spider, Captain America, and Wolverine.
Unlike the vehicle-heavy Star Wars calendar, Marvel's daily reveals lean almost entirely into its cast and their world, festive-themed stalls, vehicles, and props built around each hero rather than standalone ships or builds unconnected to a character.
That character-first structure makes this calendar a genuinely different collecting experience from the other 2026 themes, every single door ties back to one of the six minifigures rather than existing as an independent build.
This guide covers all six minifigures and the specific builds tied to each one, along with a few of the standout non-character surprises rounding out the box.
Captain America gets more dedicated builds than any other character in the set: a candy cane and shield accessory pairing, a Captain America-themed airplane, a photo booth, and a snowman build all tie back to him specifically.
That level of repeated focus makes Captain America effectively the anchor character of this year's calendar, even though Spider-Man and Dr. Doom get comparable minifigure billing on the box art.
Dr. Doom appears not just as a minifigure but across two dedicated builds: a stall selling Iron Man toys, playing against type as a villain running a holiday market stand, and his own Dr. Doom helicopter.
Giving a villain this much dedicated build content is a notable choice for a holiday-themed set, and it's part of what makes this year's Marvel calendar stand out from a straightforward hero-only lineup.
Spider-Man and Ghost Spider, the superhero identity of Gwen Stacy, share several build pairings: a Spider-Man-themed truck, Spider-Man on skis, a Spider-Man cake stall, a Ghost Spider-themed car, and a Ghost Spider drinks stall.
The two characters essentially rotate through parallel holiday market builds, giving them a connected presence across multiple doors rather than a single standalone appearance each.
Iron Man's main build is a present-wrapping robot, a playful nod to his tech-focused persona translated into a holiday chore. Wolverine's presence is smaller in build count but memorable, his claws form the basis of one of the set's Christmas tree builds.
Both characters get less repeated build focus than Captain America or Dr. Doom, but each contributes one of the more visually distinctive pieces in the entire calendar.
Beyond the six-character lineup, the calendar includes a snowball cannon, a Helicarrier, and an X-Jet-themed sleigh, three builds tied more to Marvel's broader world than to any single hero. These give the set a bit of variety beyond the character-and-market-stall pattern that dominates most of the other doors.
The Helicarrier in particular is worth noting as the closest thing to a genuine vehicle build in this calendar, a contrast to the Star Wars set's seven dedicated vehicle mini-builds.
Where Star Wars leans on vehicles and City leans on a single unified holiday scene, Marvel structures its 24 doors almost entirely around six named characters and the market-stall-style builds tied to each. That's a meaningfully different collecting experience even at a similar price point to Star Wars and Disney.
Collectors who prioritize named, recognizable characters over vehicle builds will likely find Marvel's format the most satisfying of this year's five themes.
Every one of the six minifigures comes with at least one festive-specific accessory layered on top of their standard look, whether that's Iron Man's present-wrapping robot, Captain America's candy cane and shield, or the seasonal props tied to the market-stall builds. None of these accessories are recycled from a standard, non-holiday Marvel minifigure release.
That consistency across all six characters is part of what separates this calendar from a simple repackaging of existing Marvel minifigures with a Christmas sticker slapped on. Every figure was genuinely reworked with its own festive detail rather than just being bundled into a holiday-branded box.
