Rarity
Uncommon. While not a limited-edition exclusive, she appeared in only one mid-sized set during the retirement phase of the Avengers: Endgame wave.
Head
Double-sided flesh-toned head (Pepper Potts) with smiling and determined expressions. It is covered by a unique Dark Blue Iron Man-style helmet with metallic light blue faceplate printing.
Torso
Dark Blue torso with intricate silver and light blue armor plating armor detail. Includes front and back printing with a light blue Arc Reactor. Arms are solid Dark Blue with no printing; hands are Dark Blue.
Legs
Dark Blue legs with silver and metallic light blue armor plating printed on the front of the hips and legs. No side or back printing.
Accessories
Trans-light blue 1x1 round plates (studs) used as repulsor blasts for the hands, and trans-light blue 1x1 round open studs used as boot jets. The set version also included a hair piece and a backpack-style wing assembly (not pictured).
Color Scheme
Primary Dark Blue with Silver, Light Blue, and White metallic printing. Trans-light blue accents for energy effects.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the helmet, torso, and legs. Alignment is generally excellent, featuring fine-line mechanical detailing consistent with the 'Infinity Saga' era design language.
Variants
This is the primary MCU-based version. A previous version (sh611) appeared in a 2019 set, but that version is nearly identical, often categorized under the same ID or as a minor set-variation depending on the database.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include scratches on the helmet's printed faceplate and silver printing on the torso. The neck joint can sometimes show stress marks if the backpack wing assembly is attached/detached frequently.
Estimated Value
Used: $12.00 - $18.00; New (Minifigure only): $22.00 - $28.00. Value remains stable as she is a key character for MCU collectors.
Price (New)
Originally included in set 76144 (Avengers Hulk Helicopter Rescue), which retailed for $59.99 USD.
Compatible Sets
76144-1: Avengers Hulk Helicopter Rescue (2020); 76164: Iron Man Hulkbuster versus A.I.M. Agent (though sh642 is technically exclusive to 76144).
Character Background
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts in her Mark 1616 'Rescue' armor. This design is based on her appearance in the final battle of Avengers: Endgame (2019), where she fights alongside Tony Stark.
Design Notes
The helmet utilizes the newer one-piece Iron Man mold rather than the older flip-up visor style. The printing mimics the sleek, feminine silhouette of the suit seen on screen.
Similar Minifigures
Iron Man Mark 85 (sh555), Iron Heart (sh841), and various other Iron Man suits from the 2019-2021 era.
Collectibility
High. Since Pepper Potts is a central MCU character and this is her only armored form, she is a 'must-have' for Hall of Armor collectors.
History
Rescue was a long-requested character that LEGO first produced in 2019/2020 following the success of Avengers: Endgame. It marked a shift toward more accurate, movie-specific armor printing.
Interesting Facts
The helmet print is often slightly misaligned across production batches, making perfectly centered faceplates highly desirable for perfectionist collectors.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in an 'Iron Man Hall of Armor' setup or on a transparent flight stand alongside Iron Man Mark 85 to recreate the 'Endgame' duo shot.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'purist' customs; the torso is highly versatile for other female sci-fi characters or armored pilots.
Overall Assessment
A standout minifigure from the 2020 Marvel line. It successfully captures a pivotal movie moment with a unique color palette not often found in the Iron Man sub-line.
