Rarity
Uncommon. As a Collectible Minifigure, it was only available in blind packaging (bags), making specific selection difficult during its retail run.

Warm tan skin tone with a dual-sided face. One side features a confident smirk and the other a determined red-tinted tactical goggle print. Short black hair piece (Mould 35645).
Torso
Highly detailed white and dark blue suit with red accents. Features the Captain America star emblem and utility straps. Dual-molded arms (white/dark blue) with side printing; red hands.
Legs
Dark blue with intricate printing on the front, sides, and toes. Includes silver/white boot details and red armor plating lines. Dual-molded for color accuracy.

Color Scheme
Patriotic palette of White, Dark Blue, and Red, with Metallic Silver accents for armor plating and goggles.
Printing Details
Premium 360-degree printing. Includes arm printing and side leg printing, which is rare for standard Marvel sets but common for the CMF line. No stickers used.
Variants
This is the primary Marvel CMF version. A simplified version without dual-molded legs/arms and with smaller wings appears in the 'Captain America vs. Hydra' set (76189).
Condition Notes
The wing hinges (1x2 plate with handles) are high-friction; check for stress marks. The shield handle can show wear over time. Ensure the neck bracket is not cracked.

Character Background
Sam Wilson, formerly The Falcon, takes up the mantle of Captain America as seen in the Disney+ series 'The Falcon and the Winter Soldier'.
Design Notes
Considered one of the most complex CMFs ever designed due to the piece count of the wings and the extensive use of dual-molding technology on both arms and legs.
Similar Minifigures
The Falcon (sh170), Captain America (sh622), and Bucky Barnes (colmar02).
Collectibility
High. It is the definitive version of Sam Wilson's Captain America. Demand is driven by MCU completionists and the high quantity of unique parts.
History
Part of the first-ever Marvel Collectible Minifigure series, marking a milestone where LEGO produced higher-budget versions of television characters.
Interesting Facts
The wing assembly uses more pieces (5) than the actual minifigure body parts (4). It is the most detailed Sam Wilson figure created by LEGO to date.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a clear posing stand to mimic flight. Place alongside Winter Soldier (colmar02) and John Walker for a complete series display.
Modification Potential
The wing assembly is frequently used by MOC builders for other flying characters like Archangel or custom Vulture builds due to its articulation.
Overall Assessment
10/10 for design. It offers incredible value-for-money given the printing detail and accessory count. A standout piece in any modern Marvel collection.
