Character Background
James 'Rhodey' Rhodes in his War Machine armor as seen during the events of Avengers: Endgame. This specific look corresponds to his mission during the Time Heist.
Design Notes
This helmet utilizes the modern 'openable' visor mold. The red eyes signify the 'aggressive' or 'Quantum suit' mode seen in late-stage MCU films.
Similar Minifigures
sh066 Iron Patriot, sh258 War Machine (Civil War), sh566 Iron Man Mark 85.
Collectibility
Moderate. It is a necessary piece for Marvel collectors completing the Avengers: Endgame lineup, but it is not the rarest version of the character.
History
Debuted in the 2019 wave of Marvel sets. This was a redesign of the War Machine helmet to better match the darker, more industrial aesthetic of the Endgame armor.
Interesting Facts
The red eyes on this helmet are unique to the Endgame wave, as most previous War Machine and Iron Man figures utilized trans-light blue or white eyes.
Display Suggestions
Display on a gray baseplate alongside other Hall of Armor figures or inside the War Machine Buster mech for which it was designed.
Modification Potential
Excellent for custom Iron Man armors or 'Vault' dioramas. The faceplate and helmet are interchangeable with most other modern LEGO Iron Man helmets.
Overall Assessment
The helmet is a well-engineered piece of LEGO mold-work. While the item pictured is just a fragment of a full figure, it is a high-detail component essential for any MCU enthusiast.
