Rarity
Uncommon. This figure was exclusive to a single set and a promotional polybag during the initial launch of the DC Universe license.
Head
Double-sided head: one side features a smirk with goggles/mask print, the other features a determined expression. It uses a reddish-brown skin tone (Flesh) under the mask detail.
Torso
Black torso featuring a zipper-front jumpsuit design with silver and dark blue-grey highlights. It includes a silver belt buckle print at the waist and subtle feminine tapering. Back printing continues the jumpsuit paneling.
Legs
Plain black legs and hips. No printing or molded details on the legs for this specific variant.
Accessories
Includes a black motorcycle helmet with a trans-clear visor (as shown in image). Traditionally, the figure also comes with a whip and a jewel element in its set context.
Color Scheme
Predominantly Black with Silver, Dark Grey, and Flesh (Reddish Brown) accents.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing typical of the 2012 era. Features detailed metallic silver for the zipper and belt buckle. Alignment is generally centered and crisp.
Variants
This is sh018. Variants include 'Catwoman - Purple Suit' (sh005), 'Catwoman - Gray Suit' (bat003), and 'The LEGO Batman Movie' versions which feature different goggles and ear pieces.
Condition Notes
The trans-clear visor is highly susceptible to scratching. Check for 'neck cracks' in the black torso and bite marks on the helmet. The silver printing on the belt can rub off over time with heavy play.
Estimated Value
New/Mint: $12 - $18 USD; Used Complete: $7 - $10 USD; Incomplete: $4 - $6 USD.
Price (New)
The set it appeared in (6858) retailed for $12.99 USD in 2012. It was considered a high-value figure for an entry-level set.
Compatible Sets
Set 6858: Catwoman Catcycle City Chase (2012) and Polybag 30161: Batmobile (often packaged with the figure in some regions/promos).
Character Background
Selina Kyle, better known as Catwoman. This design is based on the 'New 52' or modern comic era aesthetic rather than the 1960s or Tim Burton films.
Design Notes
This was the first Catwoman to use a helmet and visor instead of the traditional feline-ear cowl found in the earlier 2006 sets, reflecting a more tactical/biker look.
Similar Minifigures
sh624 Catwoman (DC Super Heroes), sh330 LEGO Batman Movie Catwoman, and sh005 Classic Catwoman.
Collectibility
High for DC completists. While not the most expensive figure, it is the definitive 'modern' Catwoman for many collectors who grew up with the 2012 LEGO Batman video games.
History
Followed the original 2006 Batman line; it marked a shift towards more detailed torso prints and the use of flesh tones for licensed characters.
Interesting Facts
The headpiece used for this Catwoman was also repurposed for various LEGO City racing pilots and motorcycle officers because the goggle print was versatile.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the 6858 Catcycle or with other members of the Gotham City Rogues Gallery (Joker, Riddler, Penguin). Use a clear 2x2 display brick to elevate her.
Modification Potential
Excellent. Many collectors swap the helmet for the pointed-ear cowl (Part 10113) to create a more classic comic-book appearance.
Overall Assessment
A solid, mid-tier collectible. It is an essential character for any LEGO Justice League or Batman collection, noted for its sleek and accurate jumpsuit design.
