Beetle

The Beetle minifigure is a desirable addition to any Spider-Man villain collection, particularly due to his unique design and limited availability. This minifigure sports a menacing beetle-like appearance with trans-brown wings and a striking dark red head with lime green eyes, making it instantly recognizable and visually appealing.

Collectors value this minifigure for its exclusivity to the now-retired 'Spider-Man: Daily Bugle Showdown' set. The combination of a relatively short production run and the popularity of the Spider-Man theme contribute to its desirability. Mint condition figures with all accessories are particularly sought after.

The Beetle minifigure's rarity is moderate, stemming from its single appearance in the 'Spider-Man: Daily Bugle Showdown' set released in 2013. This set has been retired for several years, limiting the supply of new Beetle minifigures entering the market. While not exceedingly rare, its limited availability makes it less common than minifigures appearing in multiple sets or those from larger production runs. Aftermarket prices reflect this scarcity, with prices generally higher than more common Spider-Man minifigures.
