Color Scheme
Dominant Dark Blue with Silver, Sand Blue (head), and Light Blue accents.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the helmet, head, torso (front/back), and legs (front). Very sharp mechanical alignment characteristic of 2016-era Marvel figures.

sh066 (Iron Man 3 version), sh564 (Endgame version), and sh645 (White Quantum Suit). This is the 'sh214' Civil War variant.
Condition Notes
Watch for scratching on the helmet faceplate and neck cracks on the torso. The dark blue plastic shows scuffs more easily than lighter colors.

Character Background
Colonel James 'Rhodey' Rhodes, Tony Stark's best friend, piloting the War Machine Mark III suit as seen during the internal conflict of the Avengers in Captain America: Civil War.
Design Notes
Uses the newer hinged helmet mold introduced in 2012. The dark blue color choice was a stylistic shift from the traditional black/grey to represent the specific lighting/finish of the film's suit.
Similar Minifigures
Iron Patriot (sh084), Iron Man MK 46 (sh254), Falcon (sh253).
Collectibility
High. Since it is a unique variant from a core movie and constrained to a single set, it remains a stable investment for Marvel collectors.
History
Released during the transition from simplified comic designs to highly detailed movie-accurate prints. This was the first War Machine to feature leg printing.
Interesting Facts
Despite the character appearing in many movies, this specific dark blue color scheme has only been used for two War Machine figures (this and sh564).
Display Suggestions
Display alongside Captain America (Civil War) and Iron Man MK 46 to recreate the airport battle. Use a trans-clear bar to pose him mid-flight.
Modification Potential
Excellent for MOCs; the dark blue legs and torso are popular for futuristic soldiers or custom Iron Man armors.
Overall Assessment
9/10. A standout figure for the Marvel theme with excellent print coverage and film accuracy. A must-have for completing the Civil War roster.
