Rarity
Uncommon to Rare. While not a limited edition, it was exclusive to a single, relatively high-priced set that has been discontinued for several years.
Head
Dual-sided light flesh head with James Rhodes expression (stoic vs. serious/angry), covered by a metallic silver Iron Man style helmet with a pivoting faceplate.
Torso
Dark Stone Grey (Dark Gray) armor with detailed silver and red printing representing the Mark II/III War Machine armor; features a distinct red arc reactor print and back armor mechanical details.
Legs
Dark Stone Grey legs with high-detail silver armor plate printing on the front of the hips and legs; no side or back printing.
Accessories
Equipped with a custom brick-built wing/jetpack assembly using curved silver slopes and red trans-clear studs; often accompanied by a neck-bracket stud-shooter assembly representing his shoulder cannon.
Color Scheme
A cohesive palette of Flat Silver, Dark Stone Grey, and accents of Trans-Red for lights and sensors.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing with excellent registration; features intricate mechanical line work on the chest and knee plates that aligns well with the movie aesthetic of the mid-2010s.
Variants
This is the specific 'Space Armor' variant. Other versions of War Machine include the sh066 (Iron Man 3), sh564 (Endgame), and sh653 (Iron Man Armory).
Condition Notes
The metallic silver paint on the helmet is prone to scratching. Check for 'play wear' on the faceplate hinges and stress marks on the neck bracket from the heavy wing assembly.
Estimated Value
Current market value is approximately $25 - $35 USD for a used complete figure; $45 - $55 USD in new/pristine condition.
Price (New)
Originally included in set 76049 which retailed for $59.99 USD in 2016.
Compatible Sets
76049 Avenjet Space Mission (2016).
Character Background
Colonel James 'Rhodey' Rhodes, Tony Stark's best friend. This specific suit is inspired by the space-ready armor used during comic-based Avengers missions outside Earth's atmosphere.
Design Notes
Notable for using the classic 'Invincible Iron Man' helmet mold in a metallic silver finish rather than the standard red/gold, providing a more 'industrial' look suitable for War Machine.
Similar Minifigures
Iron Legion (sh168), Iron Man MK 45 (sh164), and other War Machine variants like sh066.
Collectibility
High demand among MCU and Iron Man 'Hall of Armor' collectors; the unique coloring and wing build make it a standout staple for Marvel collections.
History
Represents the transition period where LEGO began creating more specialized comic-inspired suits rather than just movie-accurate ones following the success of the Age of Ultron wave.
Interesting Facts
This minifigure is one of the few War Machine versions to feature a red arc reactor instead of the traditional white or light blue, highlighting its specific mission-profile design.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a transparent flight stand to showcase the wing assembly, preferably alongside the 76049 Avenjet or other deep-space Avengers like Captain Marvel and Hyperion.
Modification Potential
The wing assembly is highly modular; builders often swap the red studs for blue ones or add بیشتری mechanical greebling to the back bracket.
Overall Assessment
A top-tier Marvel minifigure with exceptional printing and a unique silhouette. Highly recommended for fans of the Iron Man sub-line for its distinct color palette.
