Rarity
Uncommon. Exclusive to only two sets from a specific film wave that is now retired.
Head
Red mask/helmet mold with integrated gold lightning bolt ear details; flesh-toned head underneath featuring a smirk and a serious expression (dual-sided).
Torso
Dark red with intricate muscular detailing and the Flash's circular lightning logo; black armored segments on sides and back; red arms with printed gold/black line detailing.
Legs
Dark red with extensive gold, black, and light gray printing representing movie-accurate armor; the boots are detailed with gold trim.
Accessories
Includes two Power Blast pieces in trans-orange (lightning bolts) that can be fired from the hands.
Color Scheme
A deeper dark red than the comic-version red, accented with metallic gold and black 'wiring' or armor gaps.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the front and back of the torso, as well as the front and sides of the legs, replicating the multi-layered suit from the DCEU film.
Variants
Distinct from the comic version (sh087) and the New 52 version (sh145); has more complex armor printing than any prior version.
Condition Notes
The helmet/mask piece is prone to color rubbing on the ear tips; check for hairline cracks at the heels of the legs due to the heavy printing.
Estimated Value
Used: $12 - $18 USD; New/Mint: $20 - $28 USD depending on the market and completeness.

Originally available in sets ranging from $20 (76085) to $50 (76086).

Character Background
Portrayed by Ezra Miller in the DCEU, this Barry Allen is a younger, tech-based speedster who joins the Justice League to fight Steppenwolf.
Design Notes
LEGO opted for a dark red base to match the darker cinematic tone; the helmet is a unique mold that differs significantly from previous cowl designs.
Similar Minifigures
The Flash (sh087), The Flash (sh145), Reverse Flash (sh465), and Jay Garrick (col352).
Collectibility
High for complete DC collection sets, especially as the DCEU era concludes, making these specific versions finite.
History
Represents the first time a non-comic book based Flash was produced in minifigure form for the cinema line.
Interesting Facts
The suit printing includes 'wire' details that represent the wires Barry Allen used to keep his homemade suit together in the film.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the other five Justice League members against an Atlantis or Gotham backdrop to recreate the film's climax.
Modification Potential
The head and helmet are frequently used for 'The Rival' or other custom speedster MOCs due to the unique shape.
Overall Assessment
A highly detailed and movie-accurate figure that stands out due to its unique mask mold and superior leg printing compared to standard hero versions.
