Figure ID
sh201 (Modified)
Theme
Marvel Super Heroes
Year Released
2015 (Initial debut of head piece)
Rarity
Common / Custom Mix. The head piece is the most distinct element, originally appearing in the Marvel theme, while the torso and hands shown appear to be common parts or an incomplete assembly.
Head
Yellow classic skin tone with Scott Lang's smirk, featuring dark tan spiked hair. The head printing includes thin eyebrows and a lopsided grin, famously used for Ant-Man (sh201) and later Hank Pym.
Torso
Plain black torso with simple pocket/line detailing and dark stone gray hands. This specific torso appears to be a generic utility torso rather than the detailed 'shrink suit' printing found on official Ant-Man figures.
Legs
Missing in image. Standard black or dark gray legs are usually paired with this assembly.
Accessories
None pictured. Originally would be paired with micro-figures or a helmet (Part 19857pb01).
Color Scheme
Black, Yellow, and Dark Stone Gray. This is a low-profile stealth palette typical of civilian or tactical LEGO outfits.
Printing Details
The head features crisp pad printing typical of mid-2010s Marvel sets. The torso shown has minimal line work, suggesting it is a lower-detail generic part rather than a high-end licensed print.
Variants
The head appears in both Ant-Man (sh201) and Hank Pym (sh202). Variants of the full figure usually include the highly detailed Quantum Suit or the classic Red/Black Ant-Man suit.
Condition Notes
Visible play wear on the neck post. The hair piece (Tan Spiked) is prone to losing 'clutch' over time. Dark gray hands often show bite marks or stress fractures at the wrist pin.
Estimated Value
$3.00 - $5.00 (Current state). The head piece is worth approximately $1.50-$2.00, while the hair and generic torso make up the remainder.
Price (New)
N/A as a loose assembly. Originally part of Set 76039 (Ant-Man Final Battle) which retailed for $19.99.
Compatible Sets
76039 Ant-Man Final Battle, 76051 Super Hero Airport Battle (similar character components).
Character Background
Scott Lang, a former thief turned hero, who uses the Pym Particle technology to change size. This minifigure represents the 'civilian' or unmasked version of the character.
Design Notes
The hair mold used is Part 98385, a versatile piece often used for 'rugged' or 'messy' male hair. The smirk is designed to capture Paul Rudd's portrayal of the character.
Similar Minifigures
sh201 Ant-Man, sh202 Hank Pym, sh511 Scott Lang (Quantum Suit), and various Hawkeye (Clint Barton) variants using similar hair pieces.
Collectibility
Low in its current incomplete/mixed state. The head is a useful part for 'purist' customizers looking to build civilian versions of Marvel characters.
History
This head print debuted in 2015 to coincide with the first Ant-Man film. It marked a transition for LEGO Marvel into more character-specific facial expressions rather than generic 'angry' faces.
Interesting Facts
This specific facial print was reused for several years as the 'standard' Scott Lang face until a more likeness-accurate version was released for the later films.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a 'Civilian Heroes' lineup or a laboratory MOC (My Own Creation) featuring Pym Tech equipment.
Modification Potential
High. The plain black torso makes this an excellent base for a custom 'Stealth Suit' or as a stand-in for other characters like a generic SHIELD agent or civilian.
Overall Assessment
This is a 'franken-figure' or a partial assembly consisting of a genuine LEGO Marvel head piece on a generic torso. While not a high-value collector's item in this form, the parts are 100% authentic LEGO and useful for play or customization.
