2016 - Debuted in Set 76051 Super Hero Airport Battle
Rarity
Uncommon. This specific version was exclusive to a single high-priced set from the Civil War wave.
Head
Not present in image. The official figure features a dual-sided light flesh head (determined/smirking) and a unique metallic silver Pearl Light Gray helmet with a trans-red visor.
Torso
Tan jacket/vest with intricate dark orange harness details and a silver rectangular belt buckle. Back printing includes the Continuation of the harness straps. Tan arms and light flesh hands (hands not shown).
Legs
Dark blue legs with tan/sand green climbing harness or tactical straps printed across the hips and upper thighs. Small utility pouch details on the belt area.
Accessories
Missing in image. Originally included a trophy-style microfigure of Ant-Man (part 16478pb01) and power blast elements.
Color Scheme
A mix of Tan, Dark Blue, and Dark Orange. This is distinct from the red/black Ant-Man suits, representing Scott Lang's 'civilian' tactical gear from the airport battle.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing. Note the alignment of the straps from the torso to the hip and leg pieces, intended to look like a continuous harness.
Variants
This is the 'Civilian Gear' variant. Other versions include sh113 (original suit), sh507 (Ant-Man and the Wasp), and sh913 (Quantumania).
Condition Notes
The neck post shows significant wear with black residue or Sharpie marking, which greatly reduces value. Leg hip joints may be prone to loosening.
Estimated Value
Complete: $20.00 - $30.00. The shown assembly (damaged/incomplete): $5.00 - $8.00 due to missing head, helmet, and neck post damage.
Price (New)
Original set 76051 retailed for $79.99 in 2016.

Character Background
Scott Lang, the second Ant-Man, famously used this gear during the airport battle sequence in Captain America: Civil War under his Giant-Man transformation.
Design Notes
The torso print is highly detailed, emphasizing the civilian nature of the character while still suggesting superhero utility.
Similar Minifigures
sh228 Winter Soldier (Civil War), sh227 Captain America (Civil War), and sh229 Falcon.
Collectibility
High for Marvel completists. As it is exclusive to a retired, sought-after set, it maintains steady secondary market demand.
History
Released during the transition era where LEGO began adding more complex leg printing and internal set-piece accuracy for the MCU films.
Interesting Facts
The set this figure comes in is the first time LEGO included a 'Giant-Man' brick-built figure, making this normal-sized Ant-Man an essential companion piece.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the brick-built Giant-Man from set 76051 or on a Civil War themed baseplate with Team Cap.
Modification Potential
Excellent for custom MOCs. The tan tactical torso is frequently used for custom Jurassic Park, Uncharted, or Indiana Jones figures.
Overall Assessment
A unique MCU variant with strong printing. However, the specimen in the image is in 'poor' survivor condition due to the neck post damage and missing gear.
