Rarity
Uncommon/Rare. While produced for several sets, this specific helmet mold in Pearl Gold is highly sought after by collectors to complete the original Avengers-era Loki.
Head
The figure that uses this helmet (sh033) features a light flesh head with a grin/mischievous expression and green eyes. The helmet itself is a unique Pearl Gold mold with large curved horns.
Torso
The sh033 torso is dark green with detailed printing representing Loki’s Asgardian armor, including gold and silver metallic plates and a printed green cape outline on the back.
Legs
Dark green legs without printing (standard for the 2012 version). Later versions introduced more detailed leg printing.
Accessories
The primary accessory is the Pearl Gold Curved Horn Helmet (Part 95246). The complete figure usually includes a Chitauri Scepter (glow-in-the-dark or trans-blue jewel) and a cloth green cape.
Color Scheme
Pearl Gold (Helmet), Dark Green, Black, and Metallic Gold/Silver (Torso).
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso. The helmet pictured is a solid plastic mold (Pearl Gold) with no additional printing, relying on its unique silhouette.
Variants
There are several Loki variants: sh033 (2012), sh408 (Thor: Ragnarok), sh711 (Sylvie), and the Series 2 Marvel CMF version with Alligator Loki. The helmet shown is the iconic classic version.
Condition Notes
The horns on this helmet are prone to bending or stress marks if stepped on. Being Pearl Gold, it can show 'swirl' marks from the molding process and is susceptible to surface scratches.
Estimated Value
$15.00 - $35.00 for the full sh033 figure. The helmet alone is worth approximately $5.00 - $8.00 depending on the tightness of the clutch and lack of stress marks.
Price (New)
Available in sets ranging from $12.99 (6867) to $69.99 (6869) during the 2012 retail cycle.
Compatible Sets
6867 Loki's Cosmic Cube Escape, 6868 Hulk's Helicarrier Breakout, 6869 Quinjet Aerial Battle.
Character Background
Loki Laufeyson, the God of Mischief, based on Tom Hiddleston's portrayal in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He serves as the primary antagonist of the first Avengers film.
Design Notes
The helmet was a brand new mold in 2012 specifically for the Marvel line. It is designed to fit over standard minifigure heads while leaving the face visible.
Similar Minifigures
Thor (sh018), Iron Man (sh036), and later versions of Loki such as the Endgame version (sh578).
Collectibility
High. Loki is a fan-favorite character, and the 2012 'Golden Horns' look is considered the most iconic version for collectors of the original MCU line.
History
Launched in the first wave of LEGO Marvel Super Heroes in 2012. This helmet design remained the standard for Loki for nearly a decade.
Interesting Facts
The helmet mold is so large it often prevents the minifigure from sitting in cockpits with low clearances, a common gripe among MOC builders.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the original six Avengers. It looks best inside a dedicated acrylic case or a 'Hall of Armor' style vignette.
Modification Potential
The helmet is often used by customizers for other fantasy or mythological characters, such as custom satyrs or Ares figures.
Overall Assessment
An essential piece of LEGO Marvel history. The helmet pictured is the most defining part of one of LEGO's most popular licensed characters. Quality: 9/10.
