Theme
Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!
Year Released
2005 - Debut year in set 7707 Striking Venom during the height of the mid-2000s anime-influenced LEGO era.
Rarity
Rare. This theme was extremely short-lived, spanning only one year and two sets, resulting in low production numbers.
Head
Unique yellow head with black eyepatch, monkey features, and a grid-like face mask reminiscent of a metallic ventilator.
Torso
Red torso with black grid/plating print and a small white ascot design at the neck. Black back printing. The right arm is red with a trans-bright green hand.
Legs
Black legs with a red hip piece representing a belt or lower tunic detail. No side or back leg printing.
Accessories
Sometimes paired with energy blades or specialized weapons from the set, but this specific figure features a unique trans-neon green hand representing energy powers.
Color Scheme
Primary Red and Black with Yellow head and a Trans-Neon Green accent on the right hand.
Printing Details
Pad-printed grid lines on head and torso. Printing is crisp and typical of 2005 production; lacks modern arm/leg printing seen in contemporary sets.
Variants
Standard version as seen in the Striking Venom set. There are no official promotional or redesign variants due to the theme's cancellation.
Condition Notes
Prone to silver/black paint wear on the head piece. The trans-green hand is a high-stress part and may develop cracks or lose clutch power in the arm socket.
Estimated Value
Used Complete: $25 - $40 USD; New/Mint: $50+ USD. Price is heavily influenced by collectors of the niche TV show.
Price (New)
Included in set 7707 Striking Venom which retailed for approximately $40.00 USD in 2005.

Character Background
Antauri is the wise, ghostly, and spiritually advanced member of the Monkey Team from the Jetix/Disney animated series of the same name.
Design Notes
Uses a standard minifigure head and body rather than unique molds, relying on elaborate printing to convey monkey-like features and mechanical details.
Similar Minifigures
Other members of the SRMTHG team like Gibson, Sparx, or Nova; also shares design aesthetics with early Exo-Force minifigures.
Collectibility
High for 'cult classic' collectors. Since the theme is defunct and unlikely to ever return, existing figures are highly sought after by completionists.
History
Represents one of LEGO's early attempts at licensing niche animated series before the dominance of Star Wars and Marvel took over licensed slots.
Interesting Facts
This theme only produced two official sets total (7707 and 7704), making the characters among the rarest licensed minifigures of the 2000s.
Display Suggestions
Display in a UV-protected case to preserve the yellow and red plastic; looks best when placed alongside the Striking Venom robot MOC or original set.
Modification Potential
The trans-green hand is frequently used by customizers for 'energy' or 'radioactive' characters in MOC builds.
Overall Assessment
A unique piece of LEGO history. For fans of the 2000s era or the specific SRMTHG show, this is a centerpiece figure with great colors and a striking aesthetic.
