Year Released
2014 - Released in the Lego Batman set 76011 Batman: Man-Bat Attack
Rarity
Uncommon - Exclusive to one set released in 2014, making it slightly harder to find than common City figures, but not extremely rare due to the set's high production volume.
Head
Light Flesh dual-sided head: one side with a determined expression and black domino mask with white eyes, the reverse with an angry/scowling expression and the same mask. Black messy hair piece.
Torso
Black torso with blue V-shaped bird emblem on the front, abdominal muscle printing, and light muscle/armor definition on the back. Black arms and black hands.
Legs
Plain black legs with black hips; no printing on this specific version.
Accessories
Typically comes with two Trans-Light Blue 4L lightsaber blades used as Escrima sticks. Note: The figure in the image is holding Trans-Red sticks, which are not the original accessories for this specific ID.
Color Scheme
A primary palette of black with a signature Electric Blue emblem, creating the classic comic-book inspired tactical stealth aesthetic.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head and torso front/back. The blue emblem is crisp against the black plastic. There is no arm or leg printing, which was standard for this era and price point.
Variants
Variants include the '2006 Blue' (bat016) with blue legs, the '2012 Red' (sh019) from the Copter Freeze set, and the '2020 Blue' (sh625) with more detailed muscle printing.
Condition Notes
Watch for scuffing on the torso printing, especially the blue logo. The black plastic shows scratches easily. Check for hairline cracks in the heels or sides of the torso.
Estimated Value
New: $15-$20 USD | Used: $8-$12 USD | Incomplete: $5-$7 USD. (Note: The red sticks in the photo would be considered incorrect parts by collectors).
Price (New)
The original set (76011) retailed for $19.99 USD, which included two other minifigures and a bat-wing vehicle.
Compatible Sets
76011 Batman: Man-Bat Attack (2014).
Character Background
Dick Grayson, the original Robin, who adopted the persona of Nightwing to fight crime independently of Batman in Bludhaven. This design specifically captures his DC New 52/Modern appearance.
Design Notes
Features the 'V-shape' emblem which was a departure from the earlier more bird-like stylized logos. It utilizes the standardized spiked hair mold common in the 2010s Super Heroes line.
Similar Minifigures
Batman (sh002), Robin (sh011), Nightwing - Red Suit (sh019), and Nightwing - Blue with Arm Printing (sh625).
Collectibility
High demand among DC fans. While not the most expensive Nightwing, it is considered the 'definitive mid-era' version of the character for many comic collectors.
History
Following the 2006 original and the 2012 red version, this 2014 release returned the character to his blue colors, aligning with fan preferences after the 'New 52' comic branding.
Interesting Facts
Despite usually being associated with blue, the previous Lego Nightwing released just two years prior was red; this figure marked the return of the fan-favorite blue color scheme.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed alongside other members of the Bat-family (Batman, Robin, Batgirl) or on a rooftop-style vignette. Suggest replacing the red rods with trans-blue ones for accuracy.
Modification Potential
Excellent candidate for 'purist' upgrades including dual-molded black/blue arms or legs from more modern City or Ninjago figures to add detail.
Overall Assessment
A solid, classic representation of an iconic DC character. While it lacks the leg/arm printing of modern 'adult' sets, its simplicity and accurate head-sculpt make it a staple for any Lego Batman collection.
