LEGO Supergirl

LEGO is a company that has been around since the 1930s and has been making interlocking bricks in 1949. LEGO acquired rights to produce sets based on DC Comics properties in 2006 and began producing a line of LEGO Batman sets. In 2011 the line would change to DC Comics Super Heroes and would begin making sets based around the wider DC Universe not just Batman and his related characters. A short lived line from 2016-2017 was also produced based on the web series called DC Super Hero Girls. The DC Super Hero Girls line shared a lot of design elements from the long running LEGO Friends line including the use of minidolls as opposed to minifigures. From these 3 series of sets, Supergirl has appeared as 4 separate minifigures or minidolls as pictured above.

The first time Supergirl appeared was in set number 76040: Braniac Attack from 2015. This set, as you can guess, included a minifigure of Braniac who is piloting a skull ship like he has often been seen using in the comics. Along with Braniac there are minifigures of Martian Manhunter, Superman, and Supergirl. The Supergirl from this set (shown on the far left in the above picture) is a very classic look for Supergirl with a blue shirt, red skirt, red cape, and long blonde hair. The minifigure also includes 2 faces printed on either side of her head piece, one is a standard smiling face and the other shows her angry with red eyes. The second time she would appear would be in 2016 in the set 41232: Super Hero High School. This was a set from the Super Hero Girls line and as such uses the minidolls. Along with the Supergirl minidoll (second from the left in above picture) there were also minidolls of Lena Luthor and Poison Ivy. This Supergirl minidoll is based on Supergirl’s appearance in the web series and includes a red skirt with yellow trim, a short sleeved blue shirt with a white collar, a red cape, and a blue hairband in her blonde hair. Her next appearance in LEGO form would come from another Super Hero Girls set. Set Number 41238: Lena Luthor Kryptomite Factory from 2017. This Supergirl minidoll (pictured on the far right) uses the same face and hair pieces but changes the body to have a sleeveless blue shirt, blue gloves, and blue pants. This set also includes the same Lena Luthor figure that accompanied Supergirl in her last set. The final set I would like to talk about is from 2018, set number 76094: Mighty Micros: Supergirl vs. Brainiac. This minifigure (pictured 3rd above) is accompanied by a minifigure of Brainiac and both figures are in small cars. The Mighty Micros sets from LEGO were smaller sets that came with a hero, a villain, and cars for each. They were also defined by having short legs on all the minifigures and the faces having animated facial expressions. The Supergirl from this Mighty Micros set has a light blue shirt, short red legs, a red cape, and short blonde hair. Her face shows a very wide smile and does not include a second face on the back.

There are 3 other LEGO Supergirls I want to mention that didn’t appear in regular sets and that I unfortunately do not own in my collection. The first picture shows a Supergirl minifigure that was bundled with some starter packs for LEGO Dimensions Starter packs for the PS4 (Set Number 71171-2). This minifigure is very similar to the original Supergirl figure from 2015 however this figure uses a different hair piece, this one having a ponytail as opposed to the hair down from the other figure. The figure also includes a circular disk that is used to interact with the LEGO Dimensions Game. The second picture is of a DC Fandome exclusive minifigure from 2020 that depicts Supergirl as she appears in the later seasons of the CW show. She has a new hairpiece that now has bangs similar to what Melissa Benoist had in season 5 of Supergirl, along with a suit that has pants as opposed to a skirt. This minifigure has 2 faces like some of the other Supergirls, however the secondary face on this figure is a second type of smiling as opposed to the angry red eyes face. The third picture is of a 2 pack Brickheadz set (41496). Brickheadz are a subseries of many LEGO themes that are brick-builds of characters. The characters are made with large heads and small bodies and have similar proportions to Funko Pops. This set contains Brickheadz of both Supergirl and Martian Manhunter as they appeared on the show Supergirl. This set was released at San Diego Comic Con in 2017.

Supergirl also appears in a handful of LEGO video games, like LEGO Dimensions mentioned above, that I will cover in more depth at a later date.
