Best Marvel gifts under $25
1) Avengers: Secret Wars (Marvel Premier Collection)
Cover: Marvel Comics.
The Doom story to read before the movie. This paperback collects Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribić’s 2015 Secret Wars, all 9 issues plus the Free Comic Book Day #0, with a foreword from Kevin Feige. Doom ends up ruling what’s left of the multiverse, and the book shares its name with the Avengers movie that follows Doomsday.
The Secret Wars Premier Collection is the easiest stocking stuffer on this list. Pair it with our Doctor Doom powers explainer if they want the short version first.
2) LEGO Marvel Spider-Man vs. Sandman (76334)
Image: LEGO.
The best cheap LEGO Marvel set. It has 201 pieces and a display scene with Spider-Man, Venom and Sandman, and LEGO lists it at $24.99. It’s rated for ages 9 and up, so it works for kids and for adults who just want something on the desk.
Shopping for a younger kid? The Amazon-exclusive Duo of Doom 2-pack pairs a Doctor Doom figure with an 8-inch Sentinel and is made for ages 4 and up.
3) Funko Pop! Super: Peni Parker’s SP//dr (Marvel Rivals)
Image: Funko.
For the Marvel Rivals player. Peni Parker is the top Vanguard in our Marvel Rivals Season 10 tier list, and this oversized Pop! Super of her SP//dr mech stands about 4.9 inches tall.
If they main someone else, the regular Marvel Rivals Pops are cheaper, like the Psylocke Pop!
Best Marvel gifts under $50
4) Marvel Legends Captain America (Avengers: Doomsday)
Image: Hasbro.
The easiest Doomsday gift to get in time. Hasbro’s 6-inch Marvel Legends figure of Sam Wilson’s Captain America is in stock and ships from Amazon now, well before the movie opens.
Want a Doomsday villain instead? The Amazon-exclusive Marvel Legends Magneto is sold by Amazon. For who else is coming back in the movie, see our top 5 returning Doomsday heroes.
5) The Art of Marvel Rivals
Cover: Dark Horse Books.
A coffee-table book for gamers. Dark Horse’s hardcover has 200+ pages of concept art and developer commentary from NetEase’s hero shooter. Its list price is $54.99, and it’s a gift they’ll keep on the shelf long after the season ends.
6) LEGO Marvel Advent Calendar 2026 (76340)
Image: LEGO.
A gift that lasts all of December. 24 doors hide 317 pieces of mini builds and minifigures, including Doctor Doom, Wolverine and Spider-Man on the box. LEGO lists it at $44.99.
Buy it early: it has to arrive before December 1 to be any use as an advent calendar.
7) LEGO Marvel Doctor Doom Bust (76345)
Image: LEGO.
Our top pick for adult Marvel fans. It’s a 379-piece display bust of Doom, with a Doom minifigure on the stand, and it’s rated 18+. It’s the one gift here that ties straight into Avengers: Doomsday, with Robert Downey Jr. playing Doom, without looking like a kids’ toy on a shelf.
If they’d rather build something that moves, the LEGO Hulkbuster vs. The Hulk set lists at $49.99 from LEGO.
Best Marvel gifts under $100
8) LEGO Avengers: Doomsday Quinjet (76347)
Image: LEGO.
The best Doomsday LEGO set for kids. It has 433 pieces and 4 minifigures, including Doctor Doom, The Thing and Captain America. It released October 4, so for now it’s a preorder at LEGO’s $59.99 price.

9) Venomnibus by Cates & Stegman
Cover: Marvel Comics.
The big book for comic readers. This omnibus collects Donny Cates and Ryan Stegman’s Venom run in one hardcover. Its list price is $125.
For a cheaper omnibus, try The Immortal Hulk Omnibus.
Best Marvel gifts over $100
10) LEGO Marvel Iron Man Mark 3 Collectors’ Edition (76344)
Image: LEGO.
The showpiece. It’s a 1,297-piece posable Iron Man that stands over 15 inches tall, from the suit Tony Stark built in the first Iron Man. It’s the gift for the fan who has watched every Marvel movie in order.
11) Magic: The Gathering Marvel Super Heroes Play Booster Box
Image: Wizards of the Coast.
For the card player. It’s 30 packs of Magic’s Marvel Super Heroes set (14 cards each), enough for a draft night with friends. Its list price is $209.70, and on November 10 it was $102.19 on TCGplayer, about half that.

Which Marvel gifts should you skip this year?
- S.H.Figuarts Doctor Doom (Avengers: Doomsday): it doesn’t ship until February 19, 2027, so it won’t make Christmas.
- LEGO New Avengers Tower (76352) from third-party sellers: right now Amazon only lists it from an outside seller. It’s out October 4, so wait until Amazon or LEGO sells it directly.
When should you buy Marvel gifts for Christmas 2026?
Buy the advent calendar and anything in stock in October, and watch the Doomsday wave. The Quinjet, Epic Battle and New Avengers Tower LEGO sets release October 4, the Amazon-exclusive Magneto on October 15, and Avengers: Doomsday opens December 18, right before Christmas. Expect the most popular Doomsday sets to sell out closer to the movie.
We’ll check these prices again before Black Friday. For every Marvel release still coming this year, see every Marvel and DC release of 2026.
For the Magic player: the Marvel Zombies Secret Lair ($29.99, or $39.99 foil) went on sale October 12.
Shopping on Black Friday? For Marvel collectibles and Magic: The Gathering Marvel products, Black Friday is November 27, 2026. Our Black Friday prices to beat lists current market prices for cards, LEGO and other collector favorites, so you can tell a real deal from an inflated “sale” price.
