Figure ID
sh401
Theme
Marvel Super Heroes
Year Released
2017: Coinciding with the release of the 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' MCU movie.
Rarity
Uncommon. This figure was exclusive to a single set (76083) which has since been retired, making it harder to find than standard Spider-Man variants.
Head
Bright red head with printed goggles/eyes outlined in black and silver; the stitching and 'homemade' mask texture are subtly printed on the face.
Torso
Light Bluish Gray hoodie with a Dark Red shirt printed underneath; includes black drawstrings and pocket details. The arms are Light Bluish Gray with black hands representing fingerless gloves.
Legs
Light Bluish Gray, unprinted. They represent the sweatpants worn by Peter Parker in the film's climax.
Accessories
In its original set, it included translucent-clear power blast elements; the figure in the image is missing these accessories.
Color Scheme
Light Bluish Gray and Dark Red. This is an intentional departure from the classic Red/Blue to reflect the 'DIY' nature of the costume.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head and torso. The torso features fine line-work for the hoodie wrinkles and the separation between the gray vest and red shirt. No leg or arm printing.
Variants
This is the only official 'Homemade Suit' version based on the MCU Homecoming film. A similar 'Wrestling Suit' exists in other media, but this design is unique to sh401.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include neck friction Marks and silver fading on the goggles. The Light Bluish Gray plastic is prone to showing dirt or bite marks more easily than darker colors.
Estimated Value
Complete used: $12.00 - $18.00 USD. New: $22.00 - $28.00 USD. The version in the photo is incomplete (missing blast pieces) and appears slightly used, valued around $10.00 - $12.00.
Price (New)
Released in set 76083 'Beware the Vulture' which originally retailed for $39.99 USD in 2017.

Character Background
This represents Peter Parker's original costume before Tony Stark provided the high-tech 'Stark Suit.' He returns to this gear for the final battle against The Vulture.
Design Notes
The goggle print is the standout feature, perfectly mimicking the tactical/welding-style lenses used in the movie. The choice of 'Light Bluish Gray' for the torso/legs accurately reflects the budget aesthetic of the film costume.
Similar Minifigures
Spider-Man (sh403), Spider-Man - Stealth Big Time Suit (sh141), Spider-Man - Miles Morales (sh190).
Collectibility
High for MCU completionists. While not the most expensive figure, it is a 'one-off' design that LEGO is unlikely to reproduce, making it a stable investment for Marvel fans.
History
Part of the first wave of Spider-Man: Homecoming sets. This figure marked a period where LEGO began creating highly specific suit variants for every MCU film appearance.
Interesting Facts
Despite the simplicity of the legs, this figure is highly sought after because the specific shades of red and gray used were very screen-accurate to the concept art.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the Vulture (sh402) to recreate the final plane crash scene. A transparent clear stand can help simulate Spider-Man's web-swinging or jumping.
Modification Potential
The unprinted legs can be swapped for dual-molded blue/red legs for a more 'classic' custom blend, or the torso can be used for casual civilian MOCs.
Overall Assessment
A unique and essential piece for MCU collectors. It captures the charm of the 'amateur hero' aesthetic. For a buyer, ensure the head printing is sharp as that is the most valuable component.
