Figure ID
sh729
Theme
Marvel / DC Super Heroes
Year Released
2021 (Included in set 76179 and various promotional outlets)
Rarity
Uncommon / Rare. This figure was exclusively released as part of a LEGO magazine blister pack or in very specific retail polybags, making her harder to find than standard set figures.
Head
Light flesh tone with a double-sided expression (determined/smiling). It features printed blue mask detailing and is topped with long blonde wavy hair (Part 20877).
Torso
Bright blue torso with a large white star on the chest. Features back printing and detailed red utility belt. Includes white stars printed on both arms.
Legs
Dual-molded legs (Bright blue and black) with white band printing at the top of the 'boots' to simulate the character's comic book footwear.
Accessories
Usually comes with the Cosmic Staff (trans-clear or pearl gold rod with a star ornament), though not present in the provided image.
Color Scheme
A patriotic palette consisting of Bright Blue, White, Black, and Red accents, mirroring the American flag theme of the character.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front and back), legs, and notably the arms, which is a premium feature for non-premium sets.
Variants
There are no major official LEGO variants of the sh729 version, though the character does not appear in any other themes currently.
Condition Notes
Watch for arm-printing wear and hair-piece scratches. The white star on the blue torso can sometimes show 'bleed-through' where the blue plastic makes the white look slightly dim.
Estimated Value
Used: $8 - $12 USD; New (Sealed foil pack): $15 - $22 USD.
Price (New)
Approximately $4.99 USD as part of the LEGO DC Super Heroes Magazine (Issue 15/16) or included in promotional bundles.
Compatible Sets
LEGO DC Super Heroes Magazine Gift (2021); also loosely associated with JSA-themed MOCs.
Character Background
Courtney Whitmore, a DC Comics superhero who wields the Cosmic Staff. She is a member of the Justice Society of America and has had her own live-action television series.
Design Notes
The arm printing is the standout design choice here, as LEGO rarely includes arm printing on figures released via magazine gifts or low-cost polybags.
Similar Minifigures
Captain America (due to the star motif), Wonder Woman (DC color palette), and Supergirl.
Collectibility
High for DC fans. Since LEGO has scaled back its DC lineup in recent years, 'B-list' characters like Stargirl have become very desirable for completionists.
History
First and only official LEGO version of Stargirl. She followed the 2020/2021 wave of DC figures that attempted to diversify the roster beyond Batman and Superman.
Interesting Facts
Despite her popularity in the CW 'Stargirl' TV show, this figure is based on her Classic comic book appearance rather than the TV suit.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed with other Justice Society members or across from a Solomon Grundy or Eclipso custom figure.
Modification Potential
Excellent for custom 'Captain Carter' or other star-based heroes. The torso and legs are highly prized for custom comic book MOCs.
Overall Assessment
A top-tier 'gift' minifigure. The inclusion of arm printing and dual-molded legs makes this a 'Buy' recommendation for any DC Comics collector.
