Year Released
2014, debuting in set 76016 Spider-Helicopter Rescue. This release period marked the transition between the classic Spider-Man trilogy designs and the more animated-influenced 'Ultimate Spider-Man' series aesthetic.
Rarity
Uncommon. While not a limited convention exclusive, it was only available in two sets from nearly a decade ago, making finding one in mint condition increasingly difficult.
Head
Lime green head featuring a dual-sided print with a sinister grin and a more aggressive shouting expression. It includes yellow eyes with black pupils and is topped with a distinct purple hood piece featuring molded pointed ears.
Torso
Dark purple torso with comprehensive scale-mail printing. Design includes a brown leather strap/satchel detail across the chest and a metallic silver belt buckle. Arms are solid lime green with purple hands.
Legs
Dark purple hips and legs with printing depicting the bottom of the scale-mail tunic. Front of the legs features lime green skin detail above the boots, which are represented by the solid purple plastic at the bottom.
Accessories
Commonly equipped with a trans-orange fire piece representing his signature Pumpkin Bomb. High-end collectors usually display him with his brick-built Glider (not pictured) which uses large purple wing elements.
Color Scheme
A vibrant 'classic comic' palette consisting of Lime Green and Dark Purple as primaries, with Dark Brown and Metallic Silver accents.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head (dual-sided), torso (front and back), and the front of the legs. The scale pattern is consistent across the torso and hips, showing good alignment for the mid-2010s era of production.
Variants
This is the comic-inspired 'Classic' version. Other notable variants include the 2002 Sam Raimi movie version (sh043) with a metallic helmet, and the giant 'Big-Fig' version (sh096) based on the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon.
Condition Notes
The lime green arms are prone to tiny stress cracks at the wrists. The purple hood piece is a soft plastic that can show tooth marks or gouges. Check the 'boots' of the legs for scuffing as this part lacks protective printing.
Estimated Value
Used Complete: $30 - $45 USD; New: $55 - $75 USD. Prices fluctuate based on the secondary market demand for classic Marvel villains.
Price (New)
Not available individually; set 76016 retail price was $44.99 USD in 2014. The figure represented a significant portion of the set's desirable 'exclusive' value.
Compatible Sets
76016 Spider-Helicopter Rescue (2014) and 76057 Spider-Man: Web Warriors Ultimate Bridge Battle (2016).
Character Background
Green Goblin (Norman Osborn) is Spider-Man's archenemy. This version represents his traditional appearance in Marvel Comics, utilizing a goblin-themed costume and biological enhancement to battle Peter Parker.
Design Notes
This design is praised for returning to the character's comic roots after years of movie-only molds. The use of the molded hood/ear combo separate from the head was a significant design win for character accuracy.
Similar Minifigures
sh545 Green Goblin (2019 version with slightly different printing), sh043 Green Goblin (Original 2002), and various Hobgoblin variants (sh405).
Collectibility
High. As a core member of the Sinister Six and Spider-Man's most iconic foe, this figure occupies a 'must-have' slot for Marvel collectors. Demand remains stable as newer versions often deviate from this iconic look.
History
First introduced in the 2014 wave to provide fans with a more traditional comic book aesthetic compared to the 2002 movie version. It served as the gold standard for the character for over five years.
Interesting Facts
The purple hood piece (93563pk) was a relatively new mold at the time of release specifically designed to capture the unique look of 'goblin' ears without requiring a mask piece that obscures the face.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for display on a clear 'pose-bar' above a Spider-Man minifigure to simulate flight, or housed in a Sinister Six collection case. Displays best when paired with a custom or official purple Glider.
Modification Potential
Great for 'Classic' Sinister Six MOCs. The head and hood are frequently used by customizers to create Hobgoblin or Jack O'Lantern variants with slight paint or part swaps.
Overall Assessment
An 8/10 figure for Marvel collectors. It perfectly captures the character's menacing comic book charm. It is the best balance of price and accuracy currently available on the market for an iconic Norman Osborn.
