Rarity
Uncommon as a complete build, but very high for this specific unique head-mold piece. It was only available in one retail set.
Head
The piece shown is the specialized Black Helmet/Head Mold with top-facing studs. It features a transparent red 'eye' housing (not pictured) and is specifically designed to be the head of a brick-built Giant-Man figure.
Torso
The full figure uses a standard minifigure torso for the micro-version, but for this specific brick-built version (Super Heroes Giant-Man), the torso is constructed from red, black, and silver LEGO bricks/slopes.
Legs
Brick-built legs using red, black, and grey elements to simulate the scale of a giant Scott Lang.
Accessories
Usually paired with a micro-scale Ant-Man (part 16478) and a standard-sized Scott Lang minifigure (sh228).
Color Scheme
Primarily Black with Silver and Red accents, designed to mimic the tech-heavy look of the Ant-Man suit.
Printing Details
The element pictured is unprinted. In the full figure, stickers are used on the torso and legs to provide mechanical detail, though the eyes often utilize transparent red bricks.
Variants
There are no major mold variants for this specific piece; it was a one-off for the Super Heroes Civil War line.
Condition Notes
The top studs are prone to clutch power loss if heavy items are attached. The lower connection point (3.2mm bar or stud connection) can show stress marks if twisted.
Estimated Value
The individual head mold varies between $4.00 - $8.00 USD. The complete 'Super Heroes' Giant-Man figure is valued at $20.00 - $35.00 USD used.
Price (New)
Originally included in set 76051 Super Hero Airport Battle, which retailed for $79.99 USD in 2016.

Character Background
This represents Scott Lang (Ant-Man) utilizing the reverse function of Pym Particles to grow into Giant-Man, first seen in the MCU during the airport battle sequence in Captain America: Civil War.
Design Notes
This is a unique 'up-scaled' minifigure head mold. It allows for a hybrid design—halfway between a standard minifigure and a brick-built large-scale character.
Similar Minifigures
Brick-built Ares (76075) or the various LEGO Ninjago brick-built giants/mechs.
Collectibility
High demand for MCU completionists specifically looking to recreate the iconic Airport Battle. This is the only official LEGO interpretation of a 'giant' scale MCU character in this style.
History
Released in May 2016. At the time, this was a revolutionary way for LEGO to handle scaling characters who change size within a single scene.
Interesting Facts
Despite looking like a minifigure head, you cannot fit a standard LEGO head inside it; it is a solid structural part with stud connections on top.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the micro-Ant-Man and standard-sized Ant-Man to show the three stages of his growth power. Ideally placed in a 76051 scene display.
Modification Potential
Highly popular for MOC (My Own Creations) builders creating larger robots or mechs due to the unique aesthetic of the molded faceplate.
Overall Assessment
This is a foundational piece for one of the most unique figures in the Marvel Super Heroes line. While it is just a component piece in the image, it is the 'soul' of the Giant-Man build.
