Rarity
Common to Uncommon. While small, this piece appeared in several mainstream Marvel sets, making it relatively easy to acquire for collectors of the era.
Head
The head is an integrated part of the 'statue' or 'microfigure' mold. It features printed silver and red detailing on a Dark Bluish Gray base to represent Scott Lang's Ant-Man helmet.
Torso
Integral to the microfigure mold. Features minute pad printing meant to mimic the intricate piping and tech-patterning of the Ant-Man suit in a tiny scale.
Legs
Non-articulated molded base. The legs are part of the solid microfigure pedestal, with minor printing continuing the suit detail downward.
Accessories
None. The figure itself acts as an accessory for standard-sized minifigures or as a game piece.
Color Scheme
Dark Bluish Gray base with Silver, Black, and Red printing to match the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) aesthetic.
Printing Details
High-precision micro-printing. Despite its size (approx. 2cm), it contains detail on the front side including the iconic helmet eye slots and chest plate.
Variants
There are several microfigure variants; however, this specific print is the 2016 Civil War version. Later versions (e.g., from Avengers: Endgame) feature different suit patterns.
Condition Notes
Common issues include 'paint' rub on the helmet's peak and the tiny stud on the head. Because it is so small, it is frequently lost or shows chew marks from pets/small children.
Estimated Value
Used: $2.00 - $5.00 USD. It is rarely sold 'New' outside of its original sets, but mint condition examples command the higher end of the range.
Price (New)
Originally included in sets ranging from $29.99 to $79.99; not sold as a standalone blind-bag item.
Compatible Sets
76051 Super Hero Airport Battle, 76109 Quantum Realm Explorers, and 76192 Avengers: Endgame Final Battle.
Character Background
Based on Scott Lang, the second Ant-Man. This microfigure represents him in his 'shrunken' state, allowing for 'accurate' scale play alongside standard minifigures.
Design Notes
LEGO used the 'Trophy / Statue' mold (87058) which was originally designed for games and architectural accents, repurposing it as a character scale-model.
Similar Minifigures
The microfigure versions of Iron Man, Wasp, and Captain America (Trophy variants).
Collectibility
Moderate. It is a 'must-have' for completionist Marvel collectors who want every version of the Ant-Man character, but it lacks the prestige of a full-sized minifigure.
History
First introduced to represent Ant-Man in 2015/2016 as a way to solve the scale issue in playsets. This signaled a shift in LEGO using specialized micro-scales for superhero powers.
Interesting Facts
This piece is so small it can actually fit inside the hand of a standard minifigure, allowing another character to 'hold' Ant-Man.
Display Suggestions
Place in the hand of a Giant-Man build or a standard Scott Lang minifigure. Due to its size, a small acrylic display cube is recommended to prevent loss.
Modification Potential
Limited due to size, though some fans paint these to create other shrunken heroes like The Atom from DC.
Overall Assessment
A clever and essential part of the LEGO Marvel line. It perfectly captures the essence of the character's powers using an existing mold with impressive printing fidelity.
